I tested 50 AI tools in 3 months. Here's why most of them failed

Over the past 3 months, I tested 50+ AI tools across different use cases — writing, automation, design, coding, etc.

Surprisingly, 90% of them didn’t stick. Why?

- Many had beautiful UIs but no real utility - Too many were wrappers around ChatGPT with zero differentiation - The ones that worked were either extremely focused or built on workflows (not features)

So I built a small tool tracker to help myself and others avoid this waste of time: [https://www.toolsverse.tools/](https://www.toolsverse.tools/)

It filters AI tools by use case, ROI, and actual usefulness.

Would love feedback, or hear your stories — what tools actually made your workflow better?
