Tool insights
new-term-radar scans X, Hugging Face, GitHub and sitemaps for new AI names and puts search data next to each one. You can see which new terms people already search for before you build a page or product around them.
New AI model and product names appear every day, and spotting them by hand across many sources is slow. It is also hard to tell which names have real search demand and whether the matching .com is still free.
Useful for SEO teams at AI tool sites, newsletter writers, directory owners and anyone who builds pages or products around new terms. Less suited to people who want a hosted dashboard with no setup, since it runs as a CLI, MCP server or Claude Code plugin.
