About BuildTube

See what people are building with AI — without reading the code.

BuildTube takes projects that are getting attention on GitHub and Hugging Face and shows each one as what it lets you do: what it is for, why it might be useful, and how you could try it. It is made for people who use AI a lot but don’t want to dig through folders of code to find out whether something is worth their time. Every card links back to the real project, so you can always see who made it and go deeper.

How projects are picked

Every project is credited to its creator, with a link to their profile. Creators can ask for changes or removal anytime.

  1. Trending lists first. We take a snapshot of GitHub’s weekly trending list and Hugging Face’s trending models and apps. The current snapshot was taken on 25 September 2026 and holds 75 projects you see under “Rising this week”, “Start here” and the story sections.
  2. Then an editor translates. A person writes the plain-language copy — what each project does, a few things you could use it for, what you’d need — from what the creator published. They also pick a handful to show first, and hand-pick a few more to add between snapshots — most recently 17 projects on 25 September 2026.
  3. Numbers are frozen in time. Stars, likes and downloads are the ones recorded when each project was checked. They are not refreshed live, and each card says when they were taken.

BuildTube has not run or verified these projects. Everything on a card is written from what its creator published. A “Try it” button opens the creator’s own demo on their site; treat it like any other link to someone else’s work.

What the labels mean

New
Added by a BuildTube editor after the snapshot (most recently on 25 September 2026), and checked by hand that day.
Rising
“One of the fastest-rising” marks the projects that gained the most attention during the snapshot week: new stars on GitHub, or likes and downloads on Hugging Face. “Rising this week” is the section holding everything else that was trending.
Emerging
Early projects, often only days old and with small numbers, that an editor thinks are worth a closer look. They are illustrative picks, not a ranking or a prediction.
The Jev wave
A story section groups projects around one timely event. The current one, “The Jev wave”: TypeSafe's Jev launched Sept 15; open builds followed fast. These are independent open projects, not made by TypeSafe AI. BuildTube has not run or verified them.
Try it in your browser
The creator, or Hugging Face on their behalf, runs a live demo you can open without installing anything. It opens on their site, not on BuildTube.

Is this your project?

If you made something shown here and want a description corrected, a picture swapped, or the card taken down, tell us. Use the feedback form’s creator option with a link to your project and what you’d like changed. We act on creator requests within a few days, and removal requests are honoured without argument.
