01
Without good data, your agent gives generic advice. OpenSEO changes that by providing keyword research, competitor research, backlinks, and site audits starting at just $10 per month, instead of a $100-plus monthly subscription. Connect it via MCP so you can work with your agent to build an SEO strategy and write content tailored to your company. You get actionable insights and real data to guide your decisions, all at a fraction of the cost. It's the data layer your AI tools have been missing.
02
AgentValley sits in your MacBook's notch. Every Claude Code session gets a card, every sub-agent gets a row, and each one comes with a little pixel programmer. You can see what is running, which model it is using, and what is waiting on your input. It is a simple way to keep tabs on a busy coding session without switching windows, and it is free and open source.
03
Desigma is a free Figma alternative built with Rust, aimed at designers and developers who want a lightweight design tool. The project is open source, and you can contribute to its development by visiting deepfounder-ai/desigma on GitHub. Just create an account there and jump in. Whether you want to use it or help build it, Desigma is open for you.
04
withHuman is an approval layer for AI agents. It intercepts your agents' tool calls before they run, then applies rules that approve or deny routine actions automatically. Risky actions are sent to the right person on your team for review. It works with Claude Code, Codex, and agents built with LangGraph, Pydantic AI, and more, all through an open protocol called AAP. One set of rules covers every agent your company runs. The project is open source, and a hosted version is available. Use code PRODUCTHUNT to get 3 months of Scale free, valid until Friday.
06
OpenPilot is a free, MIT-licensed desktop AI agent. Connect any OpenAI-compatible model (OpenAI, OpenRouter, Ollama, LM Studio), pick a folder, and it reads and edits files and runs commands there. You approve sensitive actions. Windows now, macOS early beta.
07
The open-source AI SDR workspace that replaces Clay, Smartlead, HubSpot, and many more. Run email sequences, LinkedIn campaigns, and WhatsApp outreach with built-in data enrichment and automations, backed by an AI CRM that automatically classifies replies and drafts responses. Self-hosted with your own AI keys.
08
Open Inspector is a free, open-source browser extension that lets you inspect layout, styles, colors, typography, and assets on any page. You can also export its design tokens for use in your own projects. Unlike popular alternatives, it requests no site access and makes zero network requests, so your browsing stays private. It's MIT licensed and requires no account.
09
Databench by Alkera is an open-source, multiplayer workspace for data science, analytics, and engineering. You can collaborate live with teammates and agents in notebooks and chats, run any cell or agent on your laptop, another computer, or a GPU node, and launch multiple agents in parallel to explore different ideas at once. Every result traces back to the data and code behind it, so you can trust what you're looking at. Try it at https://alkera.ai with a generous free tier, or host Databench yourself using the repository at https://github.com/AlkeraAI/Databench.

The Brains turns founders, CEOs and investors into searchable MCP servers built from their public talks, essays, interviews and posts.

Every answer quotes the source with a link. 37 brains today, one URL per brain or one for all. Free, open source (MIT), unofficial and not affiliated with the people.
