Tools

OpenAI's open-source general-purpose speech recognition model. The whisper command transcribes many languages, translates foreign speech into English and writes subtitle files. Needs FFmpeg; faster with a GPU.

High-throughput LLM inference and serving engine: vllm serve starts an OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible server in one command. Supports 200+ model architectures from Hugging Face, quantization and distributed inference. Aimed mainly at NVIDIA, AMD and other GPUs.

Provides a sequential_thinking tool that guides the model to break complex problems into revisable, branching steps. Good for planning, analysis and tasks that need careful iteration. Official MCP reference server.

Baidu PaddlePaddle's official OCR and document parsing tool: the paddleocr command reads text from images and parses PDFs and scans into Markdown or JSON, supporting 100+ languages with models that run locally.

Official PaddleOCR MCP: text recognition and layout parsing for images and PDFs (PP-OCR, PP-StructureV3, PaddleOCR-VL), returning text or Markdown. Runs inference locally, or calls the official API or a self-hosted service.

Astral's extremely fast Python package and project manager written in Rust, replacing pip, pipx, poetry, pyenv and more. Supports lockfiles and multiple Python versions, and uvx runs Python tools without installing them.

Adaptive web scraping framework: scrapling extract turns a page into Markdown, text or HTML in one command, with CSS selectors and browser rendering for dynamic pages, plus an MCP server (needs the ai extra). Needs Python 3.10+ and a browser install on first use.

MCP server built into the adaptive Python scraping framework Scrapling: supports plain HTTP requests, browser rendering and stealth fetching, and uses CSS selectors to pass only the target content to the AI, saving tokens and filtering out prompt injection.

Open-source, LLM-friendly web crawler that turns pages into clean Markdown for RAG and agents. Ships the crwl CLI and supports deep crawling and question-driven data extraction (extraction needs an LLM key). Free to self-host.

Document parser from OpenDataLab that turns PDFs, images and Office files into Markdown or JSON, handling tables, formulas and complex layouts well, with page-by-page reading and citation anchors for agents. Parses locally by default; needs Python 3.10+.

Multi-agent orchestration framework formerly called Claude Flow: ruflo init gives Claude Code nearly 100 specialized subagents, swarm coordination, cross-session vector memory and hooks; add --codex to configure Codex instead. Also works as a standalone MCP server or plugin marketplace.

Multi-agent orchestration framework for Claude Code and Codex, formerly Claude Flow: swarm coordination, self-learning memory and cross-machine federated communication. The marketplace offers 30+ plugins; full features need npx ruflo init.

Classic open-source OCR engine and CLI that reads text from images and outputs plain text, hOCR, searchable PDF or TSV. Supports 100+ languages; install the language data for each language you need.

Job search system that runs in your local AI coding CLI: scans job portals, scores roles with a structured A-H evaluation and a 1-5 rating, flags fake listings, tailors ATS resumes and cover letters, and tracks applications. Never submits for you. Needs Node.js.

All-in-one LLM fine-tuning framework: llamafactory-cli handles pretraining, SFT, PPO/DPO alignment and LoRA/QLoRA training, plus chat inference, weight merging and export, and OpenAI-style API serving for 100+ open models. Has a Web UI; training usually needs a GPU.

Parses PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, HTML, images and audio, recovering layout, reading order, tables and formulas, and exports Markdown, HTML or lossless JSON. Started by IBM Research, now hosted by the LF AI & Data Foundation; runs fully locally.

HeyGen's official video plugin: compose scenes with HTML, CSS and animation and render deterministic MP4s, with skills for promo videos, captions, voiceover and music, and PR walkthrough videos. Needs Node.js 22+ and FFmpeg.

Write videos in HTML, CSS and frame-seekable animations, preview them from the CLI and render deterministic MP4s. Comes with agent skills for product launch videos, captions and talking-head re-edits. Maintained by HeyGen; needs Node.js 22+ and FFmpeg.

Command-line toolkit for transcoding, cutting, joining, frame extraction and streaming of audio and video, including ffmpeg, ffprobe and ffplay. A core dependency for agents handling media. The GitHub repo is the official mirror.

Searches Reddit, X, YouTube, Hacker News, Polymarket and more in parallel for the past 30 days of discussion on a topic, scores it by engagement and summarizes it into a brief. Good for market research and meeting prep. Needs Python 3.12+; some sources need API keys.

AI search optimization (AEO/GEO) skill from the marketingskills collection: checks whether ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews cite your content and suggests rewrites and structure that AI can extract and cite more easily, including llms.txt and structured data.

Conversion rate optimization skill from the marketingskills collection: give it a homepage, landing page, pricing page or form and it diagnoses value proposition, headlines, CTAs, trust signals and friction, returning quick wins, high-impact changes, A/B test ideas and alternative copy.

Paid ads advisor: plans campaigns on Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, X and more, covering audience targeting, bidding and budgets, account diagnostics and ROAS/CPA optimization. From the marketingskills collection; needs no API key itself.

Open-source crypto trading framework: download market data, backtest and optimize strategies, and paper trade from the CLI while agents iterate on strategies. Docker recommended; strategies need Python and live trading needs exchange API keys. Backtests don't guarantee returns.
