What is this?

ai.vocino.com is where I collect the best AI tools worth using. One file per tool, no database, no bullshit. If it helps you ship something useful — writing, coding, designing, researching, automating — it belongs here.

Built with Jekyll, hosted on GitHub Pages. Community-driven, curated by me.

This is the successor to 8ai.ac — same spirit, more Vocino.

Why Vocino's directory?

I build AI products, I invest in AI companies, I live in Claude Code every day. I'm picky. This list is the tools I actually track and recommend — not SEO spam.

Every tool has my taxonomy (categories, use cases, modalities, pricing) and is searchable/filterable. No affiliate theater, just signal.

Add a Tool

1. Copy _tools/_template.md
2. Rename to your-tool-slug.md
3. Fill in front matter (see CONTRIBUTING.md)
4. PR it

See CONTRIBUTING.md for full instructions, AI-assisted prompt, and taxonomy.

How It Works

• One file per tool — _tools/*.md with YAML front matter
• Jekyll + GitHub Pages — static, fast, free
• Client-side filtering — JS sidebar filters (categories, use cases, modalities, pricing)
• 209 tools validated — node validate.js on every PR
• Vocino design system — --bg #0F1419 / --brand #00CCFF dark hacker theme, HUD corners, V brandmark

Local Development

gem install bundler
bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve
# http://localhost:4000

With Node (for validation):

npm install
node scripts/generate-added-dates.js
node validate.js

Part of my path to building great AI-tools in public — Karpathy-style deep dives, from-scratch primitives, ambient agents (claude-hue/govee), autonomous forge.
