AI Graveyard / 2026
AI tools that died in 2026
45 AI tools shut down, were acquired and folded, or had their domains lapse in 2026. Curated by the ToolDirectory.AI editorial team — every entry was a real product listed on the site before its lights went out.
Common Room built the signal-based GTM platform — Person360 unified GitHub, Slack, Discord, X, and product signals into one buyer view for dev-tool and OSS go-to-market, used by teams at Atlassian, Notion, and Snowflake.

Cognite built industrial DataOps software — Cognite Data Fusion and Atlas AI agents — that unify operational data for energy, manufacturing and heavy industry, becoming one of Norway’s flagship enterprise-AI companies. On June 30, 2026 Schneider Electric announced a $3.1 billion all-cash agreement to acquire it, the largest software exit in Norway’s history.

The product is still operating, with contracts and pricing unchanged in the near term.

Topaz Labs built a suite of AI image and video enhancement apps — Topaz Photo, Topaz Video, Gigapixel, Astra and Bloom — beloved by photographers and editors for upscaling, denoising and sharpening. On June 25, 2026 Adobe announced an agreement to acquire the company, planning to fold its on-device enhancement models into Firefly and Creative Cloud. The standalone apps keep running, with CEO Eric Yang staying on, while the deal closes in the second half of 2026.

Modular, founded by LLVM/Swift creator Chris Lattner and Tim Davis, set out to unify fragmented AI infrastructure — the Mojo programming language plus the MAX inference platform promised "write once, deploy to any silicon." On June 24, 2026 Qualcomm announced a ~$3.9 billion all-stock agreement to acquire the company, its largest deal ever, to build a CUDA-competitor software stack for its AI chips.

On June 23, 2026 Superhuman announced it was acquiring the company; GPTZero’s ~30-person team joined to lead authenticity work and its detection is being built into Superhuman Go. The service is still operating.
Acquired by Superhuman.
Last known pricing: Free tier + paid plans
Continue was an open-source AI coding assistant and Copilot alternative with extensions for VS Code and JetBrains, and over 34,000 GitHub stars. Anysphere, the maker of Cursor, acquired the project and team. After a final v2.0.0 release around June 18-19, 2026, the repository was made read-only and unmaintained. The Apache-2.0 code remains available but is no longer shipping updates.
Acquired by Cursor (Anysphere).
Last known pricing: Free, open source
Anysphere, founded in 2022 out of MIT, built Cursor — the AI code editor that reached roughly $2.6 billion in annualized revenue and made the company one of the fastest-growing startups ever. On June 16, 2026 SpaceX announced a $60 billion all-stock agreement to acquire Anysphere, the largest acquisition of a venture-backed startup on record. The company and Cursor keep operating while the deal closes, expected in Q3 2026.

Fin is the AI customer-service agent built by Intercom, which renamed itself Fin as the agent became its flagship — resolving roughly three-quarters of support volume end-to-end across chat, email, WhatsApp, SMS, phone and Slack. On June 15, 2026 Salesforce announced a ~$3.6 billion agreement to acquire the company and fold Fin into Agentforce. The product is still operating, with the deal expected to close in Salesforce’s fiscal Q4 2027.
Acquired by Salesforce.

LLM Browser was an antidetect cloud browser that let AI agents reach bot-protected sites without being flagged, running modified headless Chromium sessions with rotating fingerprints and proxies. Pitched at the agent-automation wave, it never found durable footing — its domain stopped resolving in June 2026 with no shutdown notice, the quiet disappearance that ends most tools in this graveyard.
Qlip used AI to turn long videos into short, shareable clips — automatically finding highlights, adding captions, and reformatting for social feeds. In 2026 it was acquired by Livestorm, whose director of AI is a Qlip co-founder; the clipping technology now lives inside Livestorm’s video platform. The standalone Qlip product was wound down after the deal.
Acquired by Livestorm.
Accel-backed content-marketing copilot for startups, previously known as Coral, that raised $6M. The site was unpublished in mid-2026 with no acquisition; co-founder Ben Hacking moved on to Granola.
AI podcast toolkit for show notes, chapters and transcripts. The site was deleted and its app infrastructure switched off in mid-2026 with no announcement.
Nudify.art, an AI image generator focused on NSFW "nudify" editing, went dark in mid-2026: its domain registration lapsed on May 30, 2026 and was never renewed, leaving a registrar parking page in its place. There was no shutdown announcement. Its disappearance came amid a wave of closures across the nudify-app category as US federal and state laws targeting non-consensual intimate imagery took effect.
marketingcopy.ai returns 4xx; product offline.
Hard 404 at root; product taken offline.
DALL·E 3 was OpenAI’s third-generation text-to-image model and, for a stretch of 2023–2025, the default way millions of ChatGPT users made pictures. GPT Image replaced it as ChatGPT’s built-in generator in December 2025, and OpenAI shut the DALL·E API down on May 12, 2026 — closing the product line whose 2021 debut first showed the world what text-to-image could do.
Last known pricing: API usage-priced per image; bundled in ChatGPT Plus

The company raised around $115 million over its life as an independent vendor. Zendesk announced its intent to buy Forethought in March 2026 and completed the deal on March 26, 2026, its largest acquisition in roughly two decades. Forethought now ships as 'Forethought AI Agents by Zendesk' inside the Zendesk Resolution Platform.

Trolly AI automated SEO article writing — generating long-form, keyword-optimized drafts at scale for content teams and agencies. In early 2026 it was absorbed by NetusAI, which folded Trolly’s article-generation engine into its own content platform. The Trolly brand was retired in the deal, but the underlying capability continues under NetusAI.
Acquired by NetusAI.

Phind, a developer-focused AI answer engine that paired live web search with code-aware models, shut down on January 16, 2026 — abruptly, with no sunset period and just over a month after raising $10M. User data was deleted on January 30. As general-purpose foundation models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) folded web search and coding help into their core products, a standalone developer answer engine lost its differentiator.
London-founded legal AI startup for contract review and drafting. After a $50M funding round collapsed in late 2025, Robin AI was broken up in a distressed sale: law firm Scissero acquired its managed-services arm in December 2025, and Microsoft acqui-hired its engineering team in January 2026 to build legal AI into Microsoft Word. The standalone Robin AI product was not part of either deal.
Acquired by Microsoft.
