About The AI Catalog.
The AI Catalog is a curated directory of free AI tools and AI models, built to help beginners get up to speed with AI and experienced users get more out of it.
What's inside

- AI models — every major model from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Mistral, DeepSeek, xAI and others, with pricing, context window, modality, and side-by-side comparison.
- AI companies — a directory of the labs and startups building today's AI, with founding dates and headquarters.
- What is AI? — a plain-English explainer of what modern AI actually does and the real-world tasks it's good at today.
When it launched
The AI Catalog launched publicly in April 2026.
How we choose what to list
Tools are added when they have a free tier. The listing focuses on tools most people would benefit from knowing and taking advantage of.
Model pricing, context length, and capability metadata are pulled from OpenRouter. Independent benchmark scores come from Artificial Analysis.
