Tell us the task.
We'll show the best 5 AI tools for it.
trysimplyai.com is a plain-English directory of AI companies and tools — what each one does, what it costs, where it's strong, and where it falls short. No hype, just a clear starting point.
Directory expanded — now past 100 profiles: the latest research batch adds 35 full profiles (Devin, Tabnine, Deepgram, Cartesia, Zendesk AI, Decagon, Sierra, Glean, DeepL, Harvey, Abridge, Consensus, Tavily and more) and refreshes 13 existing ones, for 107 full profiles + 18 emerging entries = 123 unique companies tracked (Lovable and Granola have full profiles and also remain in the emerging list, so they are counted once). New categories include legal, healthcare, education and translation. There are thousands of AI companies — this directory grows in verified batches rather than listing shallow, unchecked entries. Prices are marked “verify live” where source listings conflicted, and a profile says so plainly when a company publishes no pricing at all (Decagon, Sierra, Glean, Harvey, Abridge).
AI News
What happened at US AI companies between Oct 31 – Nov 2, 2026 — nine stories from that window. This edition is a dated snapshot — every story links to its original source so you can check for updates.
Browse by what you want to do
Pick a task to see the ranked top 5, why each one made the list, and what makes it different — price, quality, or ease of use.
Rankings are editorial syntheses of October–November 2026 roundups and reviews — a well-researched starting point, not benchmark results. Prices were checked Oct–Nov 2026 against roundups citing official pricing pages; always confirm on the tool's own site before paying.
Compare any two tools
Choose two tools for a side-by-side on price, strengths, limits and best use — or start from one of the classic match-ups.
Every company, profiled plainly
When it started, who founded it, where it's based, what it actually does, what it's best at, its pros and cons, and what it costs. Tap any card for the full profile. The Nov 2, 2026 expansion added autonomous coding agents, voice APIs, enterprise support agents, enterprise search, and legal, healthcare, education, translation and academic-research tools — use search and the category filter to explore all 107.
The startups to watch
Newer AI companies and tools launched or funded in 2025–2026 that a daily-updated directory should carry early. Funding and founding details are as reported by the sources linked in our research notes.
Sources, caveats & what's not here yet
Find us on Google — setup done Nov 2, 2026
Done in this build: meta description, canonical URL (https://trysimplyai.com/), robots meta, Open Graph / Twitter cards, and structured data (WebSite + SearchAction + Organization) so Google can show a proper title, summary and sitelinks. A real sitemap.xml and robots.txt are prepared with this site (sitemap lists the homepage and www, last updated Nov 2, 2026; robots allows all crawlers and points to the sitemap). Still needs the owner: verify the site once in Google Search Console with the site owner's Google account (ownership can be confirmed via the Cloudflare DNS record) and click “Request indexing” for the homepage. Indexing then usually takes a few days; ranking for general terms like “best AI tools” builds over time with traffic and links — it isn't instant. Until Google indexes it, searching the exact name may not return the site yet.
Where facts come from
Company facts and prices were compiled on Nov 2, 2026 from official-site-citing roundups, reputable blogs and news outlets (TechCrunch, Reuters, PYMNTS and others). News items link directly to their source. The expansion batch's prices were compiled via web index from roundups, reviews and company pages — not every price was re-opened on the official pricing page in this pass, which is exactly why conflicting figures carry a “verify live” flag.
What to double-check
Prices marked “verify live” conflicted across sources at research time (Canva Pro, Synthesia Starter, Cursor, Kling, Luma, Pictory and Copy.ai among them — and, in the expansion batch, Windsurf/Devin, Tabnine, Clay, Salesforce Agentforce, Consensus and Elicit). Five enterprise tools profiled here — Decagon, Sierra, Glean, Harvey and Abridge — publish no pricing at all; their profiles say so instead of estimating a number. Missions are only shown where a company publicly states one — most don't, and we say so rather than invent one.
Careers
Almost every company here hires through a Careers page linked from its official homepage footer. We don't publish guessed careers URLs — go to the company's own site and follow its Careers link for current openings.
