About Kritak

Kritak is a curated registry of AI agents and image prompts. It is open, free to use, and built for the community.

What Kritak is

Kritak collects two kinds of resources for people building with AI:

  1. AI agents — autonomous agents, agentic dev tools, agent frameworks, workflow agents, and the agentic modes of larger AI products. Anything that takes multi-step action on your behalf.
  2. Image prompts — battle-tested prompts for the major image-generation models (Midjourney, Flux, DALL·E 3, Stable Diffusion, Imagen, Ideogram), each with parameters and an example output.

Curated, not crawled

The web doesn't need another search engine surfacing every AI tool on the internet. The web needs a place where someone has already done the work of asking: does this actually work? Every entry on Kritak goes through a human review before it's merged. The catalog is smaller. The signal is higher.

What counts as an agent

Kritak's rule is simple: an agent is anything that takes multi-step action on a user's behalf. Autonomous agents qualify. Dev tools like Claude Code qualify. Frameworks like LangGraph qualify, because they're how agents are made. Workflow tools like n8n qualify, because they orchestrate multi-step work.

Pure chatbots and assistants — where the user drives every turn — do not qualify. Read the full inclusion rule on the docs page.

Editorial approach

Every agent on Kritak comes with a curator note in three short paragraphs: what it does well, where it falls short, and who should use it. No marketing copy. No vendor pitches. The note exists to help you decide quickly whether the agent is worth your attention.

How it's built

Kritak is a static Next.js site with content stored as Markdown files in a public Git repository. Contributions arrive as pull requests, which means every change has a diff, a discussion thread, and a reviewer. There is no database, no admin panel, no login. The site will keep running for a decade with almost no maintenance.

The name

“Kritak” comes from Sanskrit and means “the made one” — something brought into existence to act on behalf of another. That's exactly what an AI agent is, two and a half thousand years before computers existed.

What Kritak isn't

Kritak is an independent, community-run project. It is not affiliated with Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Cognition, Black Forest Labs, Midjourney, or any other AI company. It does not run ads. It does not collect your data. It does not charge for anything.

Roadmap

  • Phase 1 — write the first 30 seed agents (in progress)
  • Phase 2 — open up to community suggestions via GitHub issues
  • Phase 3 — accept full pull requests from trusted contributors
  • Phase 4 — co-editors, side-by-side comparison views, RSS feeds, API access

Get involved

Open an issue with an agent we're missing. Submit a prompt. Star the repo if you find it useful — that's how it spreads.
