updated the AI tools library, new tools, a whole new category, and a new home
been getting DMs asking about tools that don't fit the usual "AI coding assistant" box. so i finally did something about it. tolop.space (yes, new domain — more on that below) what's new: added Atoms :- multi-agent app builder where 7 AI roles (PM, engineer, architect, SEO specialist, data analyst, researcher, team lead) collaborate to build your product. has a genuine forever-free plan with 15 credits/day, not a time-limited trial. added Leadline :- finds Reddit posts where people are actively looking to switch tools or asking for recommendations, with AI-drafted replies included. starts at $9/month which is the cheapest Reddit lead tool i've found. but the one i'm most excited about is Transcrisper :- and it's the reason i added a whole new category. niche tools :- for single-purpose utilities that are completely free, do one thing well, and don't fit anywhere else. Transcrisper is a good example of what belongs there. free, unlimited audio/video transcription that runs entire
Built cross-model persistent memory - told GPT-5 Nano I live in Bahrain, asked Sonnet 4.6 where I live, it knew instantly
https://reddit.com/link/1svixo0/video/hgwrueuekdxg1/player No tricks, no copy-paste. Two completely different AI models, separate conversations - one remembers what the other was told. The way it works: every message gets embedded and stored. When you open a new chat with any model, your memory is injected into context automatically. GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek - they all share the same memory layer. So when I told GPT-5 Nano "I live in Bahrain" and then opened a fresh Claude Sonnet 4.6 conversation and asked "where do I live?" - it said "Based on your memory, you live in Bahrain 🇧🇭" Live on asksary.com now submitted by /u/Beneficial-Cow-7408 [link] [comments]
