About SideProject AI
A curated directory of AI tools for indie hackers, solo founders, and side project builders.
Why this exists
There are hundreds of "AI tools" directories online. Most are just scraped lists with no curation, no context, and no opinion on what actually works.
SideProject AI is different. Every tool in the directory is reviewed before it's listed. The goal is simple: help solo builders find tools that are worth their time — and skip the ones that aren't.
What makes it different
The standout feature is Playbooks — opinionated, curated combinations of tools for specific use cases. Instead of a raw list of 500 AI writing tools, you get a Newsletter Playbook: the exact stack a solo newsletter operator would use, with notes on what each tool does, why it was chosen, and how it fits together.
Playbooks are designed for builders who want a running start, not another tab to research.
Who it's for
- Indie hackers building their first (or fifth) product
- Solopreneurs automating their operations with AI
- Newsletter writers, content creators, and consultants going solo
- Anyone who builds things on their own and wants to move faster
