HOW LONG DEAD TOOLS STAY DEAD
The typical tool that is down right now has been down for 20 days. 0 tools have been down for more than 30 days: most of them will not come back, and a directory that still lists them sends its visitors to a dead end.
HOW TO READ THIS
- A state changes only after several checks agree, so one bad minute never counts.
- Blocked means the site refused our check (a bot wall, or robots.txt asks us not to look). It does not mean the tool is down.
- Moved means the address now leads to a domain with the same name (v0.dev to v0.app), and it works there.
- The numbers cover public tools watched for at least 14 days. Updated every hour; last at 2026-11-14 20:46 UTC.
- The same numbers as JSON: /research.json. Every tool's own page: the tool list.
Do you run a directory of AI tools?
Connect your list once and AgentViva watches every tool on it, tells you which ones died, and gives each a live badge.
