What you can ask

Once connected, your assistant reaches for AppBoard on its own whenever you ask about software. Just ask naturally.

• “What are the best alternatives to Notion?”
• “Find me a free email API for developers”
• “What's trending in developer tools this week?”
• “Show me free CLI tools for deployment”
• “Tell me about Loan Tools — pricing, platforms, who is it for?”
• “Which AI writing tools do indie hackers actually use?”

Available tools

Seven read-only tools your assistant can call automatically. Nothing here can modify your data or ours.

appboard_find_products

Search and discover products by need, category, use case, platform, audience or pricing model. Ranked by real community engagement.

appboard_trending

Products gaining momentum in a time window, ranked by the Points-Based Score (PBS).

appboard_product_details

Everything AppBoard knows about one product: pricing, platforms, use cases, audiences, community metrics, discount codes and alternatives.

appboard_find_alternatives

Alternatives and competitors to a specific product. On-board alternatives come back with a slug the assistant can follow.

appboard_alternatives_to

Products to use instead of a tool the user already has — “what can I use instead of Notion?” Takes the target tool’s slug.

appboard_list_alternative_targets

The tools AppBoard covers alternatives for, most-covered first, with the slug to pass to the tool above.

appboard_browse_taxonomy

List the controlled vocabulary for a dimension — the exact filter values the search tool accepts.
