This week we started something new. Pondero Labs puts AI tools through real jobs and publishes everything: the setup, the screenshots, the answer key and the raw results.
No vendor demos and no paid results. We write the answer key before we run a test, so you can check our grading or rerun it yourself.
The first five labs:
•
Exa vs Tavily vs Firecrawl: the same searches through three search APIs built for AI agents, and which one won in our test.
•
Lindy AI review: real jobs in Slack, web research and scheduled routines, with the cost of each task.
•
Lindy in Slack: can an AI assistant find a fact buried deep in a long, busy channel?
