How answers are made
- Answers come from the same catalog and checks as this site. Each tool says when we last checked its free plan and links to its page here, where the vendor's own pricing source is.
- Free plans change, so check the vendor's pricing page before you rely on one.
- Tools whose makers paid to be listed are left out of the connector's answers. So are tools that offer uncensored or adult content, and tools built to pass AI-written text off as human-written.
- The connector only reads. It can't change anything, and it doesn't call any other service.
What it sends and keeps
- The connector receives only what your assistant sends when it looks something up: the task, the tool names or websites you asked about, and the app's name.
- We don't store these lookups or link them to you. Vercel, our host, keeps its standard request logs.
- Links in its answers carry tags (such as
utm_medium=ai_assistant) so we can count visits from each assistant. A visit through one is like any other visit to the site.
