Similarity graph

Local clusters rerank extracted product concepts and description terms. The generated graph remains the fallback for sparse descriptions: offline reciprocal product-similarity graph: extracted concepts + description terms + bounded category/affiliation boosts. Minimum fallback score: 0; max competitors: 6.

Hessian

match 75

Hessian is the platform for automating business operations with AI agents. We forward deploy on-site to map the work, and build the agents on our platform to run it end-to-end. Unlike off-the-shelf tools that don't know your business, you get a partner that owns the software and operates it every day. Why now? Coding agents have matured to the point where, combined with our engineering judgment we've built across a decade of shipping production systems, we can scale forward-deployed engagements

CodeWisp

match 68

CodeWisp lets anyone build and publish web games using plain-English prompts. Traditional game development requires learning complex engines, managing assets and code, and following rigid workflows, making it slow and inaccessible for most people. With CodeWisp, users describe the game they want. CodeWisp generates the game’s code, structure, and assets, and users can refine it with follow-up prompts. This makes it possible to go from idea to a playable web game in minutes, without prior game-de

Arga Labs

match 67

We build environments to test your app and agents against the real world. Deploy your code/agent into a sandbox that runs against replicas of external services (Stripe, Slack, Google Drive, etc.). Twins support the same APIs, MCP tool calls & SDKs as the real software, and you can spin up thousands of instances in parallel and seed them using natural language. Run real workflows, surface edge cases, and observe how your code/agents actually behave before hitting production.

Artifact

match 60

Artifact is a collaborative IDE for hardware engineers - accelerating every step in the engineering lifecycle: Design → Procurement → Manufacturing → Integration → Test → Sustainment We've raised $3.5M to build an integrated, verifiable AI copilot with an intuitive UI that reflects how hardware actually gets built. Every artifact is auto-generated and traceable to a single-source of truth. We believe hardware engineering should be rigorous, deliberate, and system-aware. We work directly with cus
