Overview

This skill is a lightweight CLI for discovering and filtering over 40 curated AI tools by category, pricing, and use case. It helps you quickly find tools for video, image, writing, code, chat, audio, social, productivity, research, and marketing workflows. The interface is command-driven with simple search and filter flags to narrow results.

How this skill works

Run the CLI with keywords or category flags to query the local curated dataset of tools. The tool inspects categories, pricing tags (free/paid), and descriptions to return matched entries with name, short summary, category, pricing, and URL. Use additional flags to list categories, show all tools, or restrict results to free offerings.

When to use it

  • You need a quick list of AI tools for a specific task (e.g., video editing).
  • You want to compare free vs paid AI services before trying them.
  • You need to browse tools by category to discover options you didn’t know about.
  • You’re preparing tooling recommendations for a team or project and need curated options.
  • You want a terminal-first discovery flow without browsing multiple websites.

Best practices

  • Start with a focused keyword and then broaden if results are limited (e.g., “video editing” → “video”).
  • Use the --free flag to filter out paid-only tools when evaluating cost-sensitive options.
  • List categories first (--list) to discover the canonical tags used by the dataset.
  • Combine category flags with keywords for precise results (e.g., --category image "portrait").
  • Treat results as curated suggestions — verify features and pricing on each tool’s website before committing.

Example use cases

  • Find free image generators for an experimental creative sprint.
  • List coding assistants to compare features before adopting one in your IDE.
  • Discover social media tools when building a content calendar and scheduling workflow.
  • Search video tools to assemble a shortlist for a marketing explainer video.
  • Browse productivity and automation tools while architecting a team’s tooling stack.

FAQ

How do I install the CLI?

Install via npm: npm install -g meow-finder. Alternatively, clone the project and use npm link to link the executable locally.

How can I restrict results to free tools?

Use the --free flag with or without keywords, for example: meow-finder --free video or meow-finder --free "image generator".
