# Find the best AI agent for your job

Type a job and get the AI agents our playbooks use for it, ranked by how many sourced playbooks back each one. Every result links to the playbook, its prompt and the public accounts behind it. It runs in your browser and makes no AI call.

Use the tool: https://agentshandbook.com/tools/agent-finder (runs in the browser).

## How to use it

1. **Type the job.** Use a few plain words, such as inbox, travel planning or coding, or pick an example. Narrow it by chapter, your skill level or the risk you accept.
2. **Read the ranking.** Each agent shows how many matching playbooks use it and the sources behind them. You also see where to start, the step you approve and the failure to watch for.
3. **Open the playbook.** Click a playbook for the full prompt, steps and evidence. Copy the link to share this exact result with a person or an agent.

## Questions

### Which AI agent is best for coding?

In our coding playbooks, Claude Code is the first choice most often. Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor and Gemini CLI are also written into them. Type coding above to see each playbook, its sources and the failure to expect.

### Which AI agent should I use?

Start from the job, not the agent. Type the job here and the finder lists the agents our playbooks use for it, ranked by how many sourced playbooks back each one. If you already pay for an agent, pick it under Agent you already use to see if a playbook covers it.

### How does the agent finder rank agents?

It counts the matching playbooks written for each agent. Ties go to the agent that is the first choice in more of them, then to more independent public sources, then to the higher trust level. No AI model picks the order and no vendor pays for a place.

### What can AI agents do for me?

Our playbooks cover ten chapters: money, life admin, shopping, travel, operations, growth, research, content, data and software. Leave the job box empty to see the agents used most across all of them, or pick a chapter to browse one area.

### What if no agent fits my job?

The finder says so. It recommends an agent only when a playbook backs it, so a job with no sources returns no agents. If you did that job with an agent, add the playbook and it shows up here once an editor approves it.

### Claude Code vs Codex vs Cursor: which should I pick?

Type the names, for example claude code vs codex vs cursor, and the finder compares them across our playbooks. Add a job, such as claude code vs codex for seo, to compare them on that job only. Each count links to the playbooks behind it.
