AgentGid helps you build software with an AI coding agent. It does two things.

**Starter kits.** You say what you want to build. AgentGid gives you a kit: one part for each job in the project, with its exact version, its license and the reason it was picked, and an `AGENTS.md` brief that your coding agent follows step by step, with a check after every step. There are 8 tested recipes today, and you can create a kit for anything else. See [What a kit is](https://agentgid.com/docs/kits/).

**Live data.** The parts come from catalogs that AgentGid keeps up to date from public sources:

- 440 [AI agents](https://agentgid.com/agents/) with usage, prices, limits and status;
- 3,795 [libraries and dev tools](https://agentgid.com/tools/) that AI-built projects use;
- 484 [APIs for agents](https://agentgid.com/apis/) with official prices and free tiers;
- 239 [asset sources](https://agentgid.com/assets/) (media, music, voice, 3D, icons, fonts) with what their licenses allow;
- 400 [Agent Skills packs](https://agentgid.com/skills/) and 82 [status pages](https://agentgid.com/status/) watched for outages.

Every number comes from a public source or an official page, and the page says when it was last read. Vendors' own figures are quoted as reported.

## What it costs

Reading AgentGid is free and needs no account. A free account lets you save kits, create your own, track agents and get alerts. See [Your account](https://agentgid.com/docs/account/).

## Who runs it

AgentGid is independent and is not affiliated with the companies it lists. Nobody can pay for a place in the rankings. More on the [About](https://agentgid.com/about/) page.
