Tools (6)

• search_projects369 tok

  Find open-source AI projects across both Archestack lists by words and filters. Words match names, repos, taglines, categories and the products a project replaces; results rank by how many words match, then exact names, then projects whose name or category holds the words, then by score. Put hard needs in the filters, not the words (no_gpu instead of "without a GPU").

• deploy_facts177 tok

  The facts an agent needs before installing or deploying one project: Docker files, arm64 build, GPU need, minimum RAM, outside services it needs, web port, what its README says it needs, docs and demo links, and upkeep (latest release, releases in 12 months, security advisories, its package). null means Archestack does not know. Archestack does not track hosting cost or deploy templates.

• get_project164 tok

  Everything Archestack has on one project: score and the parts it is made of, place in its category, GitHub facts (stars, license, last commit and release, language, Docker, arm64, GPU, RAM, external services, port), project health, demo and docs links, and the review (summary, audience, strengths, weaknesses).

• top_in_category150 tok

  The ranking of one category, best first, with score and tagline. An unknown category returns the list of categories.

• compare147 tok

  Put 2 to 4 projects side by side: score and its parts, place, stars, license, last commit, Docker, arm64, GPU, RAM, external services, strengths and weaknesses.

• alternatives_to108 tok

  Open-source projects that replace a paid or closed product (e.g. Cursor, ChatGPT, Notion), highest score first. own_claim is true when the project says so in its own README.
