HOW IT WORKS

Find the fragile parts.
Replace them with something solid.

Gradient reviews what your AI built, spots fragile code and unnecessary complexity, and helps replace them with reliable solutions that cost less to run.

Reading PDFs01

Stop writing PDF parsers.

Replace a pile of text extraction scripts and layout fixes with a document service such as Unstructured.

Explore Unstructured
Finding work emails02

Stop guessing email addresses.

Replace homegrown email guessing and verification with a service such as Hunter to find and verify work email addresses.

Explore Hunter
Enriching your data03

Fill in the missing details.

Replace custom lookup scripts with a service such as People Data Labs to add company and professional details to your records.

Explore People Data Labs
Sign-up and login04

Stop maintaining your own login.

Replace custom sign-up, password resets, and session handling with managed authentication such as Clerk.

Explore Clerk

THE UPGRADE IS IN WHAT YOU GET DONE.

Keep your favorite AI.
Raise your expectations.

Your AI can build a PDF reader, an email finder, or a login system. That also leaves you maintaining one. Gradient helps you find where an existing service could do the job, compare the tradeoffs, and plan the replacement.

These are example providers, not automatic picks. The right choice depends on your requirements, usage, total cost, and the effort to switch.

GET GRADIENT FREE

Make your subscription
earn its keep.

Get Gradient, check your project, and bring the fixes to your usual AI coding tool. Gradient is free; the AI check may have a separate API cost.

01 / INSTALL GRADIENT
cargo install --locked --path apps/gradient-cli

Setup currently needs the Gradient source files and Rust 1.97 or newer. Run this command from the source folder. You can ask your AI coding tool to help.

02 / CONNECT AN AI PROVIDER

Follow the setup guide in apps/gradient-server/README.md to connect an AI provider. This uses API billing, which may be separate from your coding subscription. For a custom connection, set OPENAI_API_BASE_URL and OPENAI_API_KEY.

03 / PREPARE YOUR NEXT AI SESSION
gradient --stream --cwd /path/to/project \
  -p "Find custom-built services I could replace. Compare third-party options for cost, reliability, and migration effort."
