I built a directory to help people find and compare useful AI tools (halotool.com)

Hi everyone 👋

I'm a UI designer who's been following the rapid growth of AI tools over the past few years — and using them a lot myself.

But I kept running into the same problems: too many tools, not enough structure. Most collections felt outdated, hard to filter, or missing non-English-friendly options.

So I built halotool.com — a clean, curated directory of AI tools that are actually useful.

💡 1000+ tools categorized by function (image, writing, voice, dev, etc.)

🌍 Supports multiple languages (English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean)

📊 Each tool includes live traffic data (visits, bounce rate, top countries)

🔍 Filter by language, pricing, login requirement, and more

🗞️ Also includes a section for daily-updated AI news, curated from global sources

The goal is simple: help people spend less time searching and more time using the right tools — no noise, no hype.

Still solo-built and constantly evolving with feedback from users.

Thanks for checking it out!
