AI capabilities, explained

What is an AI skill?

Not a product and not a course — a thing an AI can actually do, mapped to every tool and model that can do it.

THE IDEA

Capability first

An AI skill is a capability — something an AI tool or model can actually perform, such as generating an image, transcribing speech or retrieving an an...

Decide, then choose

Work out what you need done first — then compare only the tools and models that genuinely do it.

Support levels are explicit

Every mapping records whether support is native, partial, via an integration or in beta. A plugin is never shown as built in.

One skill, many tools

Most products cover several capabilities, so the same tool appears under each one it genuinely delivers.

Grouped by what it does

Capabilities are filed by function — generation, understanding, retrieval, reasoning — not by vendor or by hype.

Reviewed as AI moves

Maturity is tracked per capability, so an emerging skill is never presented as a settled one.

What is the difference between an AI skill and an AI tool?

A skill is a capability, like Text Generation or OCR. A tool is a product that provides one or more of those capabilities. This directory maps the two so you can start from what you need done.

How do you decide which tools support a skill?

Each mapping is curated and records a support level — native, partial, via integration, or beta — so a tool that does something through a plugin is never presented as if it were built in.

Can one tool have several skills?

Yes, and most do. A single assistant might cover text generation, summarisation, vision and function calling, which is why it appears on several skill pages.
