Outship

Software engineering is being rewritten in real time, and hiring is getting pulled along for the ride. With tools like Claude Code and Cursor, being able to ship is the new baseline. The signal for finding extraordinary engineers is the process: how candidates break down work, steer the agent, make tradeoffs, and recover when things break. Outship is a recruiting tool that allows you to capture and analyze that process alongside the final code so you can hire with confidence. Candidates work in

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.

Scope

match 81

Scope is the system companies use to measure and improve how agents discover, interact and use their product. As more products gets used through AI agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and similar agents, agents are starting to influence which tools get chosen, how they get set up, and whether they keep getting used. Most companies still cannot see that process clearly. We run real workflows across agents and show teams when the agent picks them versus a competitor, where it breaks, where doc

HyperProbe

match 78

If your team uses Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex to ship, you've felt it: the AI is great at writing code, mediocre at debugging it. When something breaks in prod, you're back to grepping logs, adding console.logs, redeploying, and hoping the AI's guess is right. HyperProbe fixes this. Your coding agent dynamically drops non-breaking probes into your running services, straight from your IDE. When a probe fires, HyperProbe captures and sanitises the exact variable state, feeding your agent real ev

Waydev AI

match 70

Waydev tracks AI-generated code from commit to production. AI Checkpoints capture which agent wrote each change, tokens consumed, cost per PR, acceptance rate, and whether it actually deployed — so you can compare Copilot, Cursor, and Claude Code on real production outcomes, not vibes. Engineering leaders use Waydev to measure AI adoption by team, monthly spend, and tokens per developer, then tie it back to delivery. The Waydev Agent answers plain-English questions about your AI investment ("whi

Humwork

match 65

Humwork lets AI agents chat with human experts in real-time. When AI agents like Claude Code or OpenClaw hit a wall, Humwork's MCP server connects them to a verified domain expert in under 30 seconds. Our experts include senior engineers, lawyers, marketers, designers, and more.
