AI Apps
AI apps are the finished surface — model + interface + workflow, ready to use without API integration.
The canonical tool list per modality lives in AI Modalities. Each modality page has a capability matrix, tool selection guide, and use cases.

Questions
When does a polished AI app create more value than direct API access — and when does it get in the way?
- Which modality has the least friction between "idea" and "shipped output" — and is that because the app is good, or the model is good?
- At what point does a tool need an MCP server to be useful inside an agent pipeline?
