Agentic AI, SEO, and how answer engines cite a page.

Agentic AI for beginners

What an agent is, when not to use one, and a cautious way to start. No demo presented as a coworker.

AI Compass

Which tool, for which job.

Open the directory

The directory: one job, one short verdict, no invented scores.

Claude

The best default for long documents and careful agent-style work. Easier to steer than most chats, and less of a do-everything platform than ChatGPT.

Free tier and paid Pro, team, and enterprise plans.

Cursor

The editor most people mean by vibe coding: you describe the change, it edits the repo, and you review the diff.

Free hobby tier and paid editor plans.

Runway

The broadest well-known video suite: generate, edit, and iterate in one product. Credits go faster than a demo suggests.

Starter credits, then paid credit plans.

Midjourney

Still the reference for art-directed still images. The workflow is less convenient than a normal app, and it is a paid product.

Paid plans. Do not count on a lasting free tier.
