AI-automated pentesting with zero false positives

ZeroThreat is an automated penetration testing platform that uses AI to conduct comprehensive security audits, claiming to identify 500+ vulnerability types with zero false positives. It automates the traditionally expensive and manual red-teaming process, providing continuous security assessment for web applications with detailed remediation guidance and compliance-ready reporting.

Infrastructure as Code orchestration and governance platform

env0 is an IaC orchestration platform that manages Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi, and CloudFormation workflows with built-in governance, cost estimation, and drift detection. It provides self-service infrastructure provisioning with policy guardrails, automated plan approvals, and budget controls. Supports custom deployment flows with OPA-based policy enforcement and RBAC.

Serverless AI inference for generative media at scale

fal.ai is a serverless AI inference platform providing ultra-low-latency APIs for generating images, videos, audio, and 3D models. With 600+ production-ready models and native Python and JavaScript SDKs, it eliminates GPU management while delivering 30-50% lower costs than alternatives. Automatic scaling with no cold starts and real-time streaming support make it ideal for interactive AI applications.

Secure tunnels to localhost

Globally distributed reverse proxy that exposes local development servers to the internet with a single command. Essential for webhook testing, mobile development, and sharing work-in-progress with clients. Offers custom domains, request inspection, and replay tools, making it indispensable for developers who need public URLs for local services during development.

Static linter that catches production bugs in AI-generated code

prodlint is a zero-config static analysis tool with 52 rules targeting production bugs that AI coding tools consistently produce. It catches hallucinated npm imports, missing authentication checks, Prisma writes outside transactions, exposed secrets via NEXT_PUBLIC prefixes, and other patterns specific to code generated by Cursor, Claude Code, Bolt, and v0. Runs in one second via npx with no configuration needed.

AI-powered E2E testing with plain English test authoring

testRigor enables end-to-end test creation in plain English without coding or element selectors. Tests describe user actions in natural language like 'click on the Submit button' and testRigor's AI interprets and executes them across web, mobile, and API. Self-healing tests automatically adapt to UI changes. Supports cross-browser testing, visual validation, and integration with CI/CD pipelines.

Collaborative whiteboard as a React component

Source-available collaborative whiteboard library and app. Ships as a React component that can be embedded in any web application. Supports real-time multiplayer out of the box via tldraw sync. Recently gained AI-powered features for generating diagrams and UI wireframes from natural language, making it popular for design brainstorming and rapid prototyping.
