The AI tools category covers consumer and prosumer applications built on top of large language and image models — writing assistants, coding tools, image and video generators, voice cloning and transcription, AI search, agent platforms, and the growing category of AI-for-X verticals. Names that appear regularly: Cursor and Windsurf (code), Notion AI, Grammarly (writing), Midjourney (images), Runway and Pika (video), ElevenLabs (voice), Perplexity (search). New tools launch weekly; many are wrappers around the OpenAI, Anthropic, or open-source model APIs and compete on UX, integrations, and pricing rather than underlying model quality. Stories here cover product launches, pricing changes, acquisitions, and the recurring is-this-just-a-wrapper debate around new entrants.
