I'm launching a newsletter that cuts through AI tool hype – would love your feedback

Hey IH 👋

I've been building side projects for a while and got tired of the "THIS AI TOOL CHANGED MY LIFE" posts that waste hours of my time.

So I started AI Tool Scout – a weekly newsletter where I actually test one AI tool and give you the honest verdict:

  • What it's good for
  • What it sucks at
  • Whether it's worth paying for
  • Who should (and shouldn't) use it

First issue is live – a deep dive on Cursor (the AI code editor): https://aitoolscout.beehiiv.com/

If you're an indie hacker who wants signal over hype: https://aitoolscout.beehiiv.com/subscribe

What AI tools are you skeptical about but want tested? I'll prioritize community requests.
