The AI Tools Landscape
Three tiers: the models that reason, the assistants that help you code, and the platforms that run agents in production.
🧠
Frontier models
Claude, GPT-4, Gemini — the AI brains you give instructions to
⌨️
Coding assistants
Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode — AI that writes and ships software
🏗️
Agent platforms
Scout, OpenClaw, NanoClaw — deploy, run, and monitor production agents

Every agent needs a harness — software that connects the model to the real world. This section covers the tools most commonly used to build agents, from the models themselves to the platforms that run and orchestrate them.

We've organised them into three tiers:

Frontier Models — The AI brains you give instructions to.

Coding Assistants — Tools that use AI models to help you write and ship software faster.

Agent Platforms — Full environments for deploying, running, and managing autonomous agents.
