01
Get high-quality, rich link previews for your app for free, similar to the cards you see on Slack or Twitter. This service provides dedicated handling for popular platforms like YouTube, Amazon, Airbnb, and the New York Times, ensuring you get reliable data every time. It features built-in image validation and JavaScript rendering, works directly from the browser without a proxy, and includes a free tier for up to 20,000 requests.
02
This command-line tool simplifies the process of scaffolding, evaluating, and deploying AI agents on Google Cloud. It is designed to be driven by your favorite coding agents like Claude Code or Codex. You can quickly set up a production-ready project, run evaluations against real signals, and ship your agents to Cloud Run, Agent Runtime, or GKE with ease.
03
Dive into a database of over 5,773 Y Combinator companies using advanced search tools, interactive maps, and AI-driven intelligence. You can track hiring trends, analyze funding rounds, and explore batch data to spot industry patterns spanning two decades of startup history. It is a great resource for finding co-founders, validating your own startup concepts, and gaining a deeper understanding of the YC ecosystem.
04
Opper provides access to over 300 AI models through a single API key, with a strong focus on data privacy and European hosting. It is fully compatible with existing SDKs from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, meaning you can switch providers with a simple URL change. Beyond model access, it offers a robust control plane for PII masking, spend management, and audit trails. It is built for agents, integrating seamlessly into tools like Cursor to provide a secure and flexible experience with a transparent fee structure.
05
This platform provides autonomous access control and security specifically for apps built with modern AI coding tools like Replit, Lovable, Cursor, and Claude Code. It identifies and patches vulnerabilities in your live applications automatically. With just a single prompt, you can ensure your project is production ready and secure, even if you do not have a background in professional cybersecurity.
06
Gate acts as a protective layer for your AI agents, offering defense against prompt injection and secret scanning with a verifiable audit trail. It includes built-in prompt compression and caching, which can reduce your token usage by 20 to 40 percent without compromising quality. Whether you want to route your existing subscriptions through Gate or use our pay-as-you-go models, setup is simple and requires no code changes thanks to our desktop app.
07
The standard Tailscale client only allows one tailnet to be active at a time, which can be frustrating for power users. TailMux solves this by letting you access work and personal tailnets simultaneously on macOS and Linux. You do not need to switch accounts or manage multiple system daemons. It runs an isolated node for each profile and routes traffic by hostname with strict security, allowing you to use SSH, RDP, SMB, and browsers across all your networks at the same time.
08
AI agents frequently fail in unique ways that traditional software does not encounter. Our tool helps you identify these vulnerabilities by adversarially testing your systems in a secure, dedicated environment. Simply point it at any AI agent or multi agent setup, and it will launch over 1,000 adaptive strategies in real time. It operates as a pure blackbox, meaning you do not need to change a single line of your existing code to start testing.
09
Bugshot 3 simplifies your debugging workflow by allowing you to capture bug reports directly from the Chrome side panel. It automatically attaches essential console logs, network activity, and environment details to every report, saving you significant time. You can even tweak CSS in real time to show before and after states, and the integrated AI will draft a complete, professional report for your issue tracker.
10
Most API testing tools just check if a request returns a 200 OK status, but FetchSandbox goes much further. It allows developers and AI agents to verify complex behaviors like webhooks, retries, state changes, and failure scenarios. It helps you reproduce actual bugs, prove your fixes work, and build a history of what breaks so your AI agents can catch issues before they reach production. You can connect it to tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and VS Code via MCP. It gives you access to over 60 popular APIs, including Stripe and GitHub, without needing to spend your real API quota or rely on slow staging environments.
