The Ai Index 2026

Stop guessing which AI tools are worth your time.

New AI tools launch every week. Most people either try none of them, or end up paying for three that all do the same job. The AI Index cuts through it — a plain-English guide to 50+ AI tools across 9 categories, so you know exactly what to use, what it costs in AUD, and how to get started today.

What's inside:

• 96 pages covering 50+ AI tools across 9 categories — writing, image, video, coding, productivity, audio, automation, chatbots and creative tools
• Every tool profiled the same clear way: what it does, how to get started, a real prompt to try immediately, and how a small business would actually use it
• Ten tools tested hands-on, with real screenshots showing exactly what came back
• A five-AI head-to-head test — the same brief given to five different AIs, so you can see the difference for yourself
• Ready-made AI stacks by business type, plus a 30-day starter plan to build the habit
• A cheat sheet, glossary and quick-reference you'll keep coming back to

Built for Australia. Every price is converted to AUD, and there's a dedicated section on the Privacy Act and Australian Consumer Law considerations for using AI in your business.

Never goes stale. The guide is reviewed and updated every month — new tools, price changes, and major releases like GPT-6 Astra — and every update is free for anyone who's already bought it.

Whether you're a total beginner or already using ChatGPT daily, The AI Index gets you using AI properly, not just poking at it.
