Categories: what AI models pick for each part of an app
We ask every model to set up 24 things a new app needs. Ten have their own page; all 24 are in the downloads.
Model pick, not a product recommendation. It shows what language models name when asked without any constraints. It is not a statement about quality, security, price or market share.
