Named alongside
These entries mention each other by name. It is a weak relationship and it is the only one the catalogue can show without inventing something.
Named by:
- Scheduled jobs with a model in the loop, so a recurring task can make a judgement rather than only fire.
Same shelf
The rest of workflow and productivity, alphabetically. Sharing a category is a filing decision, not a relationship.
- A desktop tool for assembling code context and prompts by hand before sending them to a model.
- A peer-to-peer runtime for factory floor software that keeps working when the network to the cloud does not.
- Budget limits for agent frameworks, so a loop that misbehaves stops at a number instead of at an invoice.
- A job board narrowed to machine learning and AI engineering roles.
- Asset tracking over consumer tag hardware, with geofences and shareable live links.
- A macOS launcher with hotkeys, text expansion and scripted workflows.
- One API in front of many accounting and finance integrations, so a vendor's quirks stay on their side of it.
- A marketplace and runtime for web scrapers, with the scheduling, proxies and storage already solved.
