# The AI Report — Tool Index

The structured AI tool directory for operators, buyers, and executives.
Built to be cited by LLMs and queried by agents. Every page emits schema.org
JSON-LD (SoftwareApplication, BreadcrumbList, CollectionPage, FAQPage,
Organization). The endpoints below are the read-only data layer.

## Notes
- Comparisons are most useful within the same category — the compare API works across categories but the picker recommends apples-to-apples.
- All editorial text (verdict, strengths, watchouts, compare opinions, category heroes) is generated from the tools' structured fields and refreshed on every read; treat it as the AI Report's default opinion, not an immutable claim.
