OpenResource - Discover open-source tools with an AI chat assistant

by
OpenResource
•
OpenResource is a curated directory of open-source projects, tools, Windows apps, Android apps, and GitHub repos. Instead of endless searching, just ask — the built-in AI chat (powered by Mistral AI) understands natural language queries like: → "Find a ree music streaming app for android" → "What's the best open-source video editor for Windows?" → "Suggest any note taking app"

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Gaurav, the builder behind OpenResource. The idea came from a simple frustration — finding good open-source tools is genuinely hard. GitHub search is a mess, and most directories are just static lists with no real way to explore. So I built OpenResource — a curated directory with an AI assistant that actually understands what you're looking for. Ask it anything in plain English and it'll recommend the right tools, compare options, and help you decide. It's still early and the resource database is growing — which is why I'd love your help. If you know a great open-source tool that should be listed, you can submit it directly on the site. Would love your honest feedback — what would make this genuinely useful for you? 🙏 🌐 https://openresource.site 📦 https://github.com/gauravxdev/op...

@ohh_itsgaurav Hi. The AI chat helps find open-source tools ... does it suggest stuff I’ve never heard of?

@julia_zakharova2 Since this is a beta AI feature, it can suggest tools from our open-resource database - even ones you may have never heard of. For example, you can ask for a file manager for Windows or a music streaming app for Android. If something isn’t in our database, it uses AI web search to find and recommend useful tools.

Thanks for pulling this together! There are several times when I wonder if there's an open source version of a product, but I find it hard to make the time to do the research. I reviewed your site, and it looks like this will save me a bunch of time

@bblalock Thanks a lot! 🙌 I’ve been in that exact situation myself, which is why I created OpenResource. If you ever feel something’s missing, feel free to suggest it!

Hi, this is useful. i have struggled with github search as well and just end up finding projects only when other mention them. Being able to search is helpful.

Does it have a skill to connect it to Claude ?

@bengeekly No, it doesn’t have a skill to connect with Claude yet. But it’s something I might consider adding in the future

Looks like something I'd use. One thing though, I wanted to try it but I needed to create an account, so it didn't feel "open resource" to me.
