FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- How does the AI coding stack picker work?
- You answer four questions — your goal, where you want to work, your budget and your experience — and the picker matches them against our tool database with transparent rules. It runs entirely in your browser; nothing you choose is uploaded or stored.
- Does it recommend tools based on your scores?
- The match is based on facts: form factor, free tier, who each tool is for and its documented agent capability. Where our hands-on score is finished, the card shows it; where testing is still in progress, the picker says so rather than inventing a number.
- What if nothing is a perfect match?
- It will tell you. Some combinations — for example free-only plus no-code plus a large codebase — have real trade-offs, and the picker says so honestly instead of forcing a recommendation that does not fit.
- Is the picker free?
- Yes — unlimited use, no account and no signup. Some recommended tools have paid plans, and any affiliate links are disclosed; the recommendation logic is not influenced by them.
