About Archestack
Ken Nguyen builds and runs Archestack, an independent guide to open-source AI and AI coding tools.
What you get here
We rank each project from public GitHub data and check its facts on GitHub: stars, last commit, license and Docker files. Each project gets a written review with its strengths and weaknesses, and the rankings refresh twice a day. See how the ranking works.
How we stay independent
- No one can pay for a place. We label sponsors and tips and keep them out of the rankings (sponsor policy).
- Client work has no effect on any rank, including the rank of tools we build with.
- We publish the method, log every change to it, and correct any wrong fact you report through the forms on GitHub (opens in a new tab).
AI app development
We also build AI products for companies, with the same research behind every recommendation. We help your team choose an open-source AI stack, build on it and run it in production.
AI products, end to end
Assistants, agents and search over your own documents, from a first prototype to a production release.
Private AI on your own infrastructure
Open models, gateways and vector databases on servers you control, next to your data.
Stack reviews before you commit
An independent read of the tools you plan to adopt, covering license terms, maintenance health, security and fit with your team.
AI coding workflows
Coding agents, shared rules and review gates for your engineers, so they ship faster and still review what the agents write.
How we work: fixed-scope projects or ongoing support, with clear milestones. You own the code and the infrastructure.
