9 tools

• search_catalog

  Natural-language search across software products, capabilities (what software does) and replacement workflows. Understands synonyms, e.g. 'make thumbnails' finds YouTube thumbnail workflows. Returns ranked hits with URLs, plus the tool and capabilities the query most likely…

• get_tool

  Full structured profile of a software product: plans and prices (with evidence status and verification date), capabilities with fit and limitations, honest reasons it's hard to replace, risks, related replacement workflows and sources.

• find_alternatives

  For a specific product (e.g. Canva), list each capability it provides and the best alternatives — ranking tools the user ALREADY owns first at $0 extra. Pass the capabilities the user actually uses (from get_tool) for a precise answer. Includes the honest case for keeping the…

• compare_solutions

  For one capability (e.g. 'youtube-thumbnails', 'crm-contacts', 'workflow-automation'), compare all known tools: fit, quality scores on the dimensions that matter, required skill, cheapest qualifying plan and limitations.

• find_workflows

  Find practical, step-by-step workflows that replace a paid tool or accomplish an outcome with tools the user already owns. Filter by tool being replaced, capability, or free-text query.

• get_workflow

  Full replacement guide: before/after, required tools and extra cost, setup steps, copyable prompts, templates/scripts, limitations, risks, a verification checklist to run BEFORE cancelling, and the savings methodology.

• recommend_stack

  Given the outcomes the user needs (free text or capability slugs) and what they already own, recommend per-capability options (owned tools at $0 first) and a minimal stack covering everything, with incremental monthly cost and warnings about skill, collaboration and data…

• estimate_savings

  Audit the user's subscriptions. For each: keep, downgrade, redundant, test_replacement, review_unused or keep_critical — with the arithmetic. Savings are split into 'likely' and 'possible' and never double-counted. Costs are what the user actually pays (monthly, all seats).

• get_pricing

  List plan prices for one tool or all tools, each with evidence status, verification date and source URL.
