Which AI Tools Do You Actually Need? I Built a Free Tool for That
Stop drowning in 300+ AI tools. I built the AI Stack Picker — answer 3 questions, get the 2–3 AI tools that actually fit what you do, how technical you are, and your budget. Free, no signup:

In this video you watch the whole thing get built and shipped — with AI — from a blank file to a live URL: the 3-question flow, the curation logic that makes it useful, the real bug that broke it on a real input (and the fix), and the 30-second deploy to Vercel.
🔥 WHAT IS THE AI STACK PICKER?
The AI Stack Picker is a free web tool by Build Leaner (Bassam Nouh) that recommends a short, personal AI stack — 2–3 tools instead of 300 — based on your use case (write, build, automate, design, research, or customer support), your skill level, and your budget. It runs on curated human judgment, not an affiliate-bait tool list, and you can use it without creating an account.
