AI developer platforms

122 tools · 56 with a free plan or free credits

These platforms give you the building blocks to create AI-powered applications: model APIs for generating text or images, inference hosting to run models at scale, LLM gateways to route requests across providers, and vector databases to store and search embeddings. You can also find developer infrastructure like monitoring, evaluation, and deployment tools.

For example, Anthropic offers Claude for chat and coding, while Groq provides high-speed model inference. LangChain helps you build and monitor AI agents, and Hugging Face lets you host and run open-source models. Ollama runs models locally for privacy. Each tool takes a different approach, so you can pick what fits your workflow.

How to choose among AI developer platforms

AI developer platforms FAQ

Which of these platforms are free to start with?

Several offer free tiers: AI Horde is entirely volunteer-powered and free, Firebase Studio is free for building apps, and Kaggle provides free tools for model evaluation. Ollama is freemium, letting you run open models locally at no cost. Hugging Face also has free options for hosting and running models.

What is the best tool for building AI agents?

LangChain is a popular choice for building, testing, and deploying AI agents across the lifecycle. Haystack offers modular components for RAG pipelines. For a visual approach, n8n lets you build agents with 500+ integrations. If you prefer coding, InitRunner defines agents as YAML files run from the terminal.

How do LLM gateways help with cost and reliability?

Gateways like Keywords AI and Manifest route your API calls to the best model provider, tracking performance and cost. They can automatically fix broken calls and give you a single endpoint for multiple models. This avoids vendor lock-in and helps you manage token usage, which controls expenses.

Is it safe to use these platforms for production apps?

Many platforms prioritize security: BLACKBOX.AI offers end-to-end encryption, and Ollama keeps data local for privacy. For governance, Lyzr provides a control plane for enterprise AI agents, and Mnemom gives auditable proof of agent actions. Always check each tool's compliance and data handling policies.
