Find the repos, tools and techniques that make you a faster engineer, the day they appear.
For engineers who build with AI every day. Spezia reads 25 sources where engineers share what works, from Hacker News, GitHub and Hugging Face to Reddit, X and the blogs of working engineers. The same thing found in several places becomes one item, and each is ranked by how much it could change the way you work.
Free to start: today's top 10 on Explorer. No card. Plus, $29 a month, opens the full list, the week and the filters.

What you get
What to try this week
Each item is ranked by how much it could change the way a strong engineer works, not by how loud it was. A tool you can adopt today outranks a hot take.
One item, every place it was seen
A repo linked from Hacker News, X and GitHub trending shows up once, with each place it was picked up. Being found in several places lifts it.
The source on every item
The repo, the paper, the thread or the release note, with the points, stars or upvotes it got there.
How it works
- 1Open AI Engineer and read today's top picks.
- 2Narrow to repos, tools, techniques, models or papers, or to one source.
- 3Open the repo or the thread, or ask Spezia how it compares with what you use now.

Questions about AI Engineer
What is free, and what does Plus add?
Explorer shows today's top 10 in full, at no cost. Plus, $29 a month, opens the whole ranked list, the best of the week, what is being picked up in several places at once, and filters by kind and by source.
Where does it look?
25 sources in 9 places: Hacker News, GitHub (trending and new AI repos), Hugging Face (trending models and daily papers), Reddit's AI coding communities, Lobsters, X, the blogs of engineers who write about building with AI, Product Hunt's developer tools and the official release notes Spezia already watches.
How often does it update?
A sweep runs every four hours. Each item shows where it was seen and when Spezia first found it.
How is this different from reading Hacker News?
One site shows what one crowd liked. AI Engineer reads all of these places, drops what is not about building with AI, merges the same thing seen twice and ranks what is left for an engineer, so you read a short list instead of scrolling.
