How they're built

What 70 of these AI dictation and writing tools run on

From the stacks we know of them: what their makers say, their websites, their legal pages.

Markets come from the alternatives Product Hunt lists for each product. Groups are drawn by Claude from a few words on what each product is, so read them as a first cut. Launch counts are of the products we have pages for, which lean recent: compare groups with each other rather than reading them as a census. Product Hunt categories here: Writing assistants (48), AI Dictation Apps (41), Note and writing apps (14). Updated 2026-10-14.
