🐝 The story

About Honeyindex

The honeycomb of AI projects. Built by someone who actually uses these tools every day.

Why Honeyindex exists

The AI space moves too fast for any one person to track. New models drop weekly. Agents launch daily. Tools come and go before you can bookmark them. Most "AI directory" sites are SEO-spam farms with stale data, no editorial voice, and affiliate links to whatever pays the most.

Honeyindex is different. Every listing is reviewed by a human (me). The site exists because I kept losing track of which model could do what, which agent had the longest context window, and which homelab tool was actually worth setting up. So I built the spreadsheet I wanted, then turned it into a website.

What you'll find here

  • LLMs — every model worth knowing about, with comparable specs (context, params, pricing, benchmarks)
  • Startups — AI companies to watch, from frontier labs to YC batches
  • Agents — autonomous AI systems, coding agents, browser agents, voice agents
  • Products — the consumer and prosumer tools that put AI to work
  • Productivity Tools — plugins, MCP servers, skills, and frameworks that make AI workflows better

The homelab angle

I run an HPE ProLiant homelab server where I actually test these tools. Pro members get access to my deployment notes, benchmark results, and homelab guides. When I say "DeepSeek runs fine on a 24GB GPU," I've actually run it on a 24GB GPU.

How Honeyindex makes money

Transparency is non-negotiable. Here's how this site stays alive:

  • Sponsored ads — banner placements clearly marked "Sponsored." See the advertise page for pricing.
  • Featured listings — paid placement on the homepage and category pages, clearly badged "Featured."
  • Sponsored content — paid blog reviews, always disclosed as sponsored at the top.
  • Affiliate links — when I recommend a tool I genuinely use, I may use an affiliate link. See the affiliate disclosure.
  • Pro subscriptions — the Pro tier for early access, premium guides, and the private Discord.

What you'll never see: SEO-spam pages, fake "best of" rankings paid for in the background, inflated traffic metrics, or affiliate links to products I haven't personally evaluated.

The bee theme (yes, it's intentional)

Bees curate. They collect from many sources, organize into honeycombs, and produce something useful for the colony. That's the model for Honeyindex: I gather from the AI ecosystem, organize into structured categories, and produce something useful for builders.

Also: honey + index = honeyindex. The name basically wrote itself.
