Tested AI stacks for
vibe coders, creators and builders.

Stop scrolling 50,000-tool directories. Pick a job, like shipping an MVP, clipping shorts or voicing a video, and get a top pick, a budget pick, one to avoid and the full stack. Every price links to its source and carries the date we checked it.

🎯 Job first

Every page answers one job you actually have, not "top 100 AI tools".

🧪 Proof over hype

Test notes, verified pricing with sources, and a "last verified" date on every page. Untested means labelled untested.

🧱 Full stacks

We show how tools fit together, from the first prompt to shipping or posting.

🚫 Never pay-to-rank

Sponsors and affiliate deals never change a ranking. Read the policy.

Code quality

AI code review for your pull requests

A second pair of (AI) eyes on every pull request. This matters most when most of your code is written by an agent.

Audio

AI music and soundtracks for your videos

Stock music libraries get repetitive and copyright claims kill monetisation. Generate a track that fits the mood instead, on a plan that actually lets you use it.

Images

AI thumbnails and social images

Thumbnails need striking images and legible text, and most image models struggle with the text. Here's the stack that handles both.

Video

AI video generation for B-roll, ads and shorts

When you need a shot you can't film, like a product in a dream setting, a cinematic establishing shot or a hook for a short, generate it instead. Here's where to start without wasting credits.

AI voiceover for videos

Build

Automate small-business admin with AI workflows

Most small businesses lose hours a week copying data between apps and writing the same emails. Connect the apps, add an AI step and keep a human check where money or customers are involved.

Turn long videos into short-form clips

Get from one long recording to a week of captioned vertical clips, without spending your evenings in a timeline editor.

Vibe-code an MVP web app

CodeRabbit

CodeRabbit renames Autofix to 'Fix comments', and Autopilot is now 'Autofix'

From 14 October, 'Fix comments' (formerly Autofix) is a one-off repair of the review comments you select, using @coderabbitai fix comments. 'Autofix' (formerly Autopilot) keeps fixing review feedback, CodeRabbit findings and failing CI on a coding-agent pull request until it's ready to merge. The old commands keep working as aliases for a limited time.

Descript's AI Speech now runs on ElevenLabs v4

Descript's 12 October release notes say AI Speech now runs on ElevenLabs v4, and that voice clones 'sound closer to the person they were cloned from'. To use it, pick v4 in your AI model settings. Generate video on paid plans now defaults to MiniMax H3 Max Turbo (free plans stay on PixVerse V4.5), and there's a new drive-wide search and 12 months of usage history.
