Directory of AI tools picked for developers
AI For Developer is a curated directory of AI tools built specifically for software engineers, cutting out the generic consumer-facing AI apps that clutter most general directories. It groups tools around the actual developer workflow: coding assistants, dev-focused APIs, debugging and testing aids, and deployment helpers, with entries for well-known names like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and Cody alongside smaller or newer tools.
It's aimed at engineers who want a filtered shortcut rather than sifting through a broad AI tools list full of items that don't apply to their stack. The site is run as an open-source project and pairs the directory with a newsletter that sends weekly updates on new tools, frameworks, and APIs relevant to developers, so it functions as both a reference list and an ongoing feed for people who want to keep track of what's changing in AI-assisted development.
What sets it apart from bigger, more general AI directories is the narrow focus: everything listed has to be relevant to writing, testing, refactoring, or shipping code, rather than trying to cover every possible AI use case under one roof.
