Trending AI tools

Which AI tools are getting traction right now, ranked on two things we can actually show you: how many real stacks include them, and how much they are being discussed. Every number below is the raw count — there is no secret score.

What this measures. Adoption comes from stacks people submitted here (1 so far). Discussion comes from Hacker News posts linking to each tool over the last 180 days, collected Aug 4, 2026.

Adoption is barely counted yet. With only 1 stacksubmitted, a share of “100% of stacks” would mean one person — so adoption is weighted down until there are at least 20. Right now this ranking is mostly discussion. Add yours →

Where it is biased. Hacker News skews developer-heavy and English-speaking. Video editors, office tools and Chinese products are quieter there than they are in reality — a low discussion number is not evidence that nobody uses it.
