What it does

Finds the right AI tool for any task, live, and hands it back as structured JSON your IDE or agent can use directly. No stale directories, no sponsored "Top 10" listicles — just real product pages, pricing, and a reason it fits.

How it works

• Tavily runs an advanced live web search scoped to official product pages — pricing and feature terms baked into the query, directory/listicle domains excluded.
• Groq (llama-3.3-70b-versatile) reads the raw search results and extracts real tools, discarding blogs, newsletters, and "Top 10" round-ups.
• The result ships back as clean, structured JSON — no markdown, no prose, ready to render or pipe straight into another tool call.
