Threshold crossings computed from observed public signals — not a ranking, not an opinion, and not a claim about what happens next. Ordered by how far each move sits from the agent's own baseline. Only agents already in the directory appear here; everything else stays on /changes. Detector signal-v1. No paid placement.
An open intelligence center for rising AI agents. We aggregate ProductHunt, Hacker News, GitHub, HuggingFace, Reddit and TrustMRR, and break each agent down: the job it does (JTBD), who it is for, what it charges, and why it is gaining traction. Free, no login.
Where does the data come from, and how do I know it is not made up?
Everything is collected automatically from public sources — nothing is hand-entered. Judgement fields (autonomy, prerequisites, cost, integrations) all require a source quote; where we cannot read it, we leave it blank rather than guess. The quality of those judgements is itself publicly verifiable: https://kanonagent.com/api/review/stats
How do you decide an agent is actually rising?
By real traction rather than launch noise: upvotes, MRR, star velocity — whichever the product actually has. We also log timestamped breakout events, each marked "value when flagged → value now", append-only so it can be audited: https://kanonagent.com/rising
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Free, no login. We also do not accept paid placement — ranking follows real traction only.
Can I cite your data?
Yes — free to use, just credit kanonagent.com. Public read-only API and citation terms: https://kanonagent.com/data
