Carrot is a curated directory of AI tools that helps users quickly discover free and practical websites, particularly ChatGPT mirrors and related resources.
The project addresses the problem of finding reliable, working AI tool websites by maintaining a crowdsourced list of free ChatGPT mirror sites and other AI resources. It works through community contributions, where users can report new sites, flag broken links, and correct errors. The directory is published on a dedicated website and organized with labels indicating whether sites are newly updated, recommended, free to use, require login, or need international network access.
The tool suits anyone looking for free access to ChatGPT-like services without needing to evaluate countless options individually. It is particularly valuable for users seeking alternatives to paid services or exploring different AI tool implementations. The project relies entirely on community participation to maintain accuracy and currency, making it most useful for those willing to contribute reports about site status and new discoveries.
The project receives issue reports primarily from outside users rather than the core team, indicating an active user base relying on it in practice. Responses to issues and pull requests typically arrive within one to two weeks. Work in the issue tracker is dominated by requests to add new sites to the directory.
