A free map of AI tools that actually get used
Most AI tool lists are a wall of logos. You scroll, you nod, and you still don’t know what any of it does for a roofer, a restaurant or a bookkeeper.
So at AI Corp Inc we built something simpler: toolsandagents.com, a free directory of AI tools and agent use cases. The question it tries to answer is plain: what are people actually using these tools for?
What’s on it
Every listing is organized around a job, not a hype cycle. You can browse by category: AI agents, coding, marketing, sales, customer support, writing, video and voice, research, finance and bookkeeping, small business and productivity, AI security, trades and contractors, and restaurants.
The use cases are the part I like most. Things like answering service-business calls and booking jobs with AI, measuring a roof from aerial photos, or a landlord pointing a camera at a boiler so AI texts him when the error light comes on. Each one names the tools involved and says where the description came from, whether that’s a community build or the vendor’s own claims.
That last bit matters to me. When a description is the maker’s claim, the site says so. We’re not affiliated with listed tools unless a listing is marked Sponsored, and you should check each vendor’s site for current pricing.
There’s live search at the top, plus best-of lists, side-by-side comparisons and topic pages. If you want updates, there’s a free weekly email every Friday with newly added tools and use cases, and you can unsubscribe anytime.
Why we built it
We spend our days testing this stuff for small businesses. Writing it down in one honest place helps us, and it might save you a few hours of scrolling.
What you can do
- Search your job, not a tool name. Type what you need done, like “answer calls” or “bookkeeping”, and see what comes up.
- Start with your industry. Trades and restaurants each have their own section.
- Read the use cases before the tool pages. Seeing how someone else used it tells you more than a feature list.
- Submit a tool or a build if you use something that works and it isn’t listed yet.
- Get the Friday email if you want new finds without having to check back.
It’s free. Go take a look and tell us what’s missing.
