01
AdAnt AI acts as your dedicated creative team, handling the heavy lifting of social ad strategy, content production, and ongoing optimization. We built this platform on the same proven methods that helped our founders generate over 50 million organic views while cutting paid acquisition costs by 60 percent. Whether you are running campaigns on TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, our AI generates high-converting ads designed to grab attention and drive real results for your business.
02
Shepherd is a terminal built for running coding agents across multiple tabs, panes, and even remote machines. It keeps your terminal sessions alive even if you close the app, so you never lose progress. You can see exactly which agents are working and which are waiting, and you can jump back into their files and changes without missing a beat. Agents are aware of the current Shepherd context, can control tabs and panes, and gather feedback through browser reviews. Meanwhile, you get a real-time view of every agent's status.
03
Annotate-8 is a tool that lets you record your screen while drawing and talking to explain exactly what you need. Once you are done, it sends that recording to an AI agent to handle the task. It works perfectly with coding assistants like Claude or Cursor, and because it runs locally, your data stays private and free to use.
04
Claudemon turns the downtime while waiting for Claude Code into a fun, interactive game. As your prompts process, you move through a virtual world where you can encounter creatures and engage in battles in a second terminal tab. It supports 151 different encounters, runs entirely locally, and requires no account setup.
05
MPAI offers an open-source way to collaborate in the terminal using Codex and Claude Code. You can join a teammate's native session from another Mac while keeping the full context and identifying yourself clearly. The system uses Tailscale for private connections, ensuring that the host machine always maintains control.
06
The ngrok AI Gateway serves as a unified interface for all your AI models, whether you are using public providers, custom endpoints, or your own self-hosted solutions. By using a single key and URL, you can route requests across OpenAI, Anthropic, and local models while benefiting from built-in observability, access control, and automatic fallbacks. Because your private models connect through the secure ngrok network, they remain protected and isolated from the public internet while still being easily accessible to your applications.
07
Agentsky provides managed AI agents as a service, allowing you to launch long-horizon models like Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, or OpenClaw with a single click. We handle the full history and recovery processes for you. You can easily access your agents through popular platforms like WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram, Slack, and the web, or integrate them directly via our API or CLI.
08
Most companies try to force Claude or ChatGPT to work by piping data from Slack, email, and CRMs, but this often results in the model only seeing fragments of the truth. BackEngine MCP changes this by connecting to your tools, reading the data, and organizing it into a single, permissioned record for every account. This ensures that your AI agents always have the full context they need to perform tasks. In practice, this leads to 67 percent fewer errors, 2.4 times more key facts, and 65 percent fewer tokens compared to using standard direct connectors.
09
Coolplugz is an orchestration layer that guides Claude Code to deliver your coding tasks without requiring your constant supervision. It fetches your context from Jira, Github, Notion, and Slack, writes your prompts, and verifies that Claude Code completes tasks correctly. You can step away and trust that the work gets done.
10
Keystroke is a complete platform designed for building and managing powerful AI agents. You simply describe the agent you need, and our system handles the building, tool connection, testing, and deployment to a shared workspace. These agents can be equipped with long-term memory, custom workflows, triggers, and approval processes, all while connecting to over 1,000 popular integrations. We are a YC-backed, open-source project, and you can get started for free today with 20 dollars in included credits.
