Excited to share @retrieve.tools with you all.
There are many AI tools. Overwhelmingly so.
There are many sites that list AI tools. Too many to keep track of.
While it's fun to go on an open exploration of hyped up products, in a professional context, often you are looking for something quite specific, to your task, context, and domain.
We built Retrieve as a classification system that maps AI capabilities to how professionals actually work. Some lists focus on trending tools. We obsessed over taxonomy—organizing each tool by industry, function, and task-specific application.
For example, you may be a sales person who wants to make follow ups easier, enrich their leads, and get better at prospect research.
retrieve.tools/sales/follow-up-automation,leads-optimization,prospect-research
Or perhaps, you are a creative director that is looking to create 3d worlds and generate b-roll for ad spots.
retrieve.tools/creative/3d,video-generation
You get the point :)
We also thought it would be quite odd to have a tools site that is not AI native. As such, the entry point is AI search where you can query with language, each query leading to results page with a permanent link that is shareable.
17 industry domains with granular sub-classifications
Natural language search for discovery
Precise filters for refinement
Permanent, shareable URLs that preserve your exact search path
@adi_kurian Congratulations team :) This is like Google Maps but for AI tools, I didn’t even know I needed that until now 😅. Love that I can filter by task (not just hype). umm, any plans to crowdsource quality ratings or tag “overhyped” tools for fun?

@adi_kurian @hamza_afzal_butt Thanks for the feedback. We are planning a few community features in the near future - stay tuned!
THIS is why I come to PH. AI to find AI. Love the idea guys, congratulations on the launch! The prioritization of professional context over hype is very nice. Will there be user reviews, quality scores, pricing, etc? Especially pricing is something I would love to see so that I only open websites of products that are free (I like free).
Also, how do you keep your taxonomy updated as new AI tools and categories emerge so quickly?
DocsHound
@pranay12 Thanks Pranay!
What is coming for sure, in the very near future is —
Clusters of peers / competitors with feature matrices
Pricing
Enterprise vs. not flag

As far as new AI tools and categories. You may be surprised. Doing this in December 2023, it would have been quite exceptionally hard to keep up. Now, the shape of the data has become much more static. You can see on the site itself where the highest volumes of tools are.
e.g.
model deployment for developers - retrieve.tools/engineering/model-deployment
lead enrichment for sales - retrieve.tools/marketing/leads-optimization
risk management tools for financial services - retrieve.tools/finance/risk-management
We are going to solve for the underlying need of quality scores and user reviews, though we may take a different path to get there.
Most recently, we've introduced automated transformation of product owner screen share demos into branded docs pages that enrich product profiles and feature matrices.
Design is awesome, congrats on the launch. Small question why does people have to record the demo (from your parent product) to submit their product. And on platform I cant see demo of any listed product, can you explain?

@gamifykaran
Thanks, appreciate it!
Demo submission is to enable our system to automatically tag and extract features. We will be launching profile pages soon, where screenshots will be automatically extracted. Additionally, the demo process automates extraction of brand assets as well as product data. It will also provide owners the ability to show, for example, "how to perform Y task". Enabling owners to show off what their product can actually do - which is part of the overall ethos. The alternative would be a manual form, which, is kinda a pain for everyone involved :)
As for demos of listed products - we hope to have a lot to show following the official launch of this site.

Thanks for building this. Do you offer API access or MCP?
DocsHound
@vic_brev we are working building an MCP at the moment! what would be most valuable to you from this dataset?
My Notes on Medium
@adi_kurian the interface is broken in Brave browser

@vinayak_joshi1 should be resolved soon
I just tested it and it’s amazing—great idea! I subscribed to the Sales domain but didn’t receive any confirmation email.
Anyway, congrats on the project. I’d like to make a quick suggestion regarding the newsletter subscription section: it might be helpful to clarify what users will get in exchange for their email, and to send a confirmation message that already delivers some value in the first interaction.
If you'd like, I’d be happy to record a quick Loom video explaining this in more detail.
