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.
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 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
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.
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). 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.
