An index of AI dev tools sorted into categories, mixing public signals with editorial judgment.
devindex.ai is an index of AI dev tools sorted into categories, mixing public signals with editorial judgment on what's worth a closer look. Numbers are signals, not the final word. The project is still in beta.
What it's good for:
- Getting a quick index of what tools exist in a category
- Finding a credible shortlist and spotting newcomers picking up momentum
- Narrowing down by maturity, pricing, or open source vs SaaS
It is not a benchmark or a feature-by-feature comparison. For a final decision you still need to test the tools yourself.
Each score blends public signals (popularity, activity, momentum, maturity, confidence) with curated ranks and editorial weights.
Read scores as category-local signals. Scores are weighted within a category, so comparing a coding agent to an MCP directory by raw score isn't meaningful. Tools sit in one primary category even when they straddle two, and commercial products often score lower because they generate less public data. The index reflects a curated read of the space, and your own priorities may rank things differently.
This repository mirrors the public Dev Index AI data as two CSV files:
data/tool_landscape_live.csv- the current tool catalog with categories, scores, links, metadata, pricing, and maturity fields.data/tool_categories.csv- the authored category and subcategory taxonomy used by the index.
The CSVs are refreshed when the upstream curator publishes a new snapshot. Paths are stable, and schemas live in the column headers.
Use GitHub issues to report stale tool data, suggest missing tools, flag taxonomy problems, or ask about scoring. Reports opened from the site are prefilled with tool metadata; please leave that machine-readable block intact.
