AI Graveyard / 2026
AI tools that died in 2026
71 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.
OpenAI shut down ChatGPT Atlas on August 9, 2026, 292 days after launching it on October 21, 2025. The Chromium-based browser never left macOS — the promised Windows, iOS and Android builds never shipped, not even as public betas — and it made no measurable dent in Chrome's roughly 68% share. OpenAI folded the work into a ChatGPT Chrome extension and an upgraded browser mode in the ChatGPT desktop app rather than keep a standalone browser alive.
Last known pricing: Free download on macOS for Free, Plus, Pro and Go accounts; agent mode required a Plus, Pro or Business plan.
Acquired by Klaviyo on 5 August 2026 and wound down on 31 August 2026. The team joined Klaviyo to keep building AI products, with founder Elias Torres taking a product leadership role there. Existing customers were given the month to migrate off the platform.
Acquired by Klaviyo.
Still operating. Bending Spoons announced a definitive agreement on August 4, 2026 to acquire Airtable in an all-cash deal valuing it at $1.285 billion enterprise value — around $2.25 billion including net cash. The transaction is expected to close later in 2026, pending regulatory approval. Airtable's low-code app platform continues to run unchanged, with roughly $480 million in annual recurring revenue as of June 2026 and more than 500,000 organizations using it.
Acquired by Bending Spoons.
Last known pricing: Free plan + Team, Business and Enterprise tiers
Reforged Labs built AI-generated video ad creative for mobile game studios and won real customers — Supercell, King, Ubisoft, Playtika, Scopely — on $3.9M of seed funding with 17 staff across Vietnam and the US. It wound down in July 2026 after three years. Co-founder and CEO Robert Huynh's reasoning was unusually direct: foundation models had improved enough that studios could build the same creative tooling in-house, and the gap the company sold into was closing. He chose a clean shutdown over a slow decline.
Last known pricing: Enterprise contracts, six figures at the top end (historical)
Acquired by Workday in August 2025, then sunset a year later: code freeze on 29 July 2026, GitHub repository archived on 10 August 2026, end of life on 31 August 2026. The team cited coding agents absorbing the low-code use case. The Apache 2.0 source remains forkable — the maintained product does not.
Acquired by Workday.
Poke put a proactive AI assistant inside iMessage, WhatsApp, SMS, and Telegram, becoming the first AI agent approved for Apple’s Messages for Business platform and passing 100 million messages in three months. Cognition, the maker of Devin, acquired its parent The Interaction Company of California in July 2026 in a deal reported in the low nine figures. Poke still operates as a standalone product, with Cognition models due behind some tasks from 2027.
Acquired by Cognition.
Last known pricing: Free tier + Pro $19/month + Ultra $199/month
Zeda.io announced it was winding down in early 2026 and its site went dark in late July 2026 (last live capture 21 July 2026); zeda.io and every product path now return 404. Founded 2020, roughly $4M seed raised in 2022. Squeezed out as larger product-management platforms absorbed voice-of-customer AI.
TierZero built AI production agents that investigated incidents, triaged alerts, answered infrastructure questions in Slack, and repaired flaky CI for teams including Brex, Discord, and Drata. Cognition acquired it in July 2026 — the first of three deals announced in a single week — to extend Devin from writing software into keeping it running. The product is still operating and selling standalone.
Acquired by Cognition.
Last known pricing: Custom pricing — quoted per team, no public tiers
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. On July 2, 2026 Zoom announced a definitive agreement to acquire the company as the buyer-intelligence layer of Zoom Revenue Accelerator. The product is still operating while the deal closes.
Acquired by Zoom.
Last known pricing: Paid (custom pricing)
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 and will be integrated with Schneider’s AVEVA arm after close.
Acquired by Schneider Electric.
Last known pricing: Paid (custom enterprise pricing)
Warmly built autonomous revenue agents for signal-based GTM — identifying anonymous website visitors at the person level, enriching them with intent data, and engaging via AI chat and email. On June 30, 2026 HubSpot announced it is acquiring Warmly to fold its visitor identification and Inbound/TAM Agents into HubSpot’s AI portfolio. The product is still operating, with contracts and pricing unchanged in the near term.
Acquired by HubSpot.
Last known pricing: Free tier + paid plans
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.
Acquired by Adobe.
Last known pricing: Paid (one-time perpetual license per app)
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. The tools are still shipping while the deal closes in the second half of 2026.
Acquired by Qualcomm.
Last known pricing: Free tier + enterprise (custom pricing)
GPTZero launched in 2023 as one of the first AI-content detectors, growing to roughly 19 million users and ~$30M ARR by helping educators, publishers and developers verify whether text was AI-generated. 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.
Acquired by SpaceX.
Last known pricing: Free Hobby tier + Pro and Ultra subscriptions
Cursor, the AI code editor from Anysphere, went from 2022 startup to roughly $2.6 billion in annualized revenue faster than almost any software product in history — and its exit set a record to match. On June 16, 2026 SpaceX announced a $60 billion all-stock agreement to acquire Anysphere, the largest acquisition of a venture-backed startup ever recorded. Cursor keeps shipping while the deal closes, expected in Q3 2026.
Acquired by SpaceX.
Last known pricing: Free Hobby tier + Pro and Ultra subscriptions
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.
Last known pricing: Usage-based (per resolution) + paid plans
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.
Tinq.ai was a ready-to-use NLP API toolkit — rewriting, summarization, sentiment analysis, entity recognition and plagiarism checking behind a single API — launched in 2021 by Boulama Kandine and relaunched in 2026 as a context layer feeding company data into ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. It was still shipping and publishing in June 2026; by August the domain had been repointed to Chirp, an unrelated Australian sales-AI startup, with no shutdown notice. Its companion product Unli.ai went dark in December 2025, and its founder has since moved on to aerospace engineering.
Last known pricing: Free tier (no card), then Personal $15/mo · Spark $55/mo · Growth $150/mo (as of May 2026)
Glyph AI's transcription and content-repurposing platform was taken offline without an announcement; joinglyph.com and its app hosts return a deleted-deployment error, with the last live capture on 8 June 2026.
Acquired by NVIDIA on 3 June 2026 for a reported $400M+. The founding team joined NVIDIA and the KumoRFM relational foundation model was folded into NVIDIA's enterprise AI stack; kumo.ai now redirects to NVIDIA's documentation and the standalone brand is retired.
Acquired by NVIDIA.
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.
Acquired by monday.com in May 2026. The voice-model engineering team was merged with the monday CRM group to launch harmony.ai; oneai.com now redirects there and the OneAI product is no longer sold separately.
Acquired by monday.com.
Sweephy's no-code ML and data-cleaning platform went dark quietly: the DNS zone behind sweephy.com was deleted, so the domain no longer resolves anywhere despite still being registered. Last live capture 20 May 2026.
marketingcopy.ai returns 4xx; product offline.
Hard 404 at root; product taken offline.
Roo Code was an open-source VS Code extension that put a team of specialised AI agents — Code, Architect, Debug — in the editor, reaching 24k GitHub stars and 1.5M installs. The repository was archived in May 2026 and roocode.com now redirects to Roomote, a cloud coding agent from the same team. The extension remains forkable under its open licence; it is no longer maintained.
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
Markprompt went dark without an announcement — markprompt.com, its www host and its docs all return a deleted-deployment error, and the site was last captured live on 12 May 2026. The Y Combinator-backed AI support agent had reached roughly $880K in revenue with a team of eight.
A fast Rust code-search engine that earned 9,500 GitHub stars and never found a business to match. The company wound down in April 2026, citing an inability to monetise a largely free user base; the repository was archived with its last commit in December 2024, and bloop.ai is now listed for sale on a domain marketplace. The source remains forkable — the product does not.
Last known pricing: Free tier plus paid plans, at the time it went dark.
AI content-writing tool. The raregenie.com domain expired in May 2026 and was abandoned in redemption, with no successor domain or acquisition.
Hydra AI stopped serving in mid-2026 — the domain keeps its nameservers but publishes no address record, and the app and blog hosts no longer resolve. Last live capture 9 May 2026.
Founded in Montevideo in 2019, acquired in 2022, then quietly left to rot. The site kept serving a page frozen at "Copyright © 2022" — still selling GPT-3 headline suggestions — until the hosting finally gave way in early May 2026. Every URL on the domain has returned an S3 "Access Denied" error since. No announcement, no sunset notice, no migration path: it simply stopped answering.
Last known pricing: $19/mo at the time it went dark.
B2B software demo marketplace and sales-intelligence startup. The dimmo.ai domain expired in May 2026 and was never renewed; founder Troy Munson moved on to Tailscale.
AI text-to-website builder that generated sites from prompts. Its infrastructure was torn down in spring 2026 and the site went offline with no rebrand or successor.
AI writer for efficient blog and article creation. The site is no longer reachable as of our last health check; we've marked the tool as discontinued.
libretto.ai returns 4xx; product offline.
multilings.com now returns a "site not configured" 404 from its hosting provider — the AI translation and content-generation product is no longer deployed.
Yupp let anyone compare answers from competing AI models side by side and earn credits for their verdicts, selling the aggregated preference data back to AI labs. It signed up 1.3 million users and raised $33M led by a16z crypto's Chris Dixon, with Jeff Dean, Biz Stone, Evan Sharp and Aravind Srinivas among the backers. It closed on 31 March 2026, under a year after that round. The labs had moved to expert-sourced data and agentic systems; broad consumer preference signal stopped being the scarce input.
Last known pricing: Free to use; users earned credits for submitting model comparisons
Forethought built enterprise AI agents for customer support, with self-improving automation that resolved tickets across chat, email, and voice. 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.
Acquired by Zendesk.
Last known pricing: Custom enterprise pricing
OpenAI officially shut down its Sora AI video generation platform on March 24, 2026, roughly six months after its launch, due to extreme operational costs, declining user interest, and a shift in company strateg

Arches AI: Craft tailored chatbots, train models, and generate AI-based media with ease. The site is no longer reachable as of our last health check; we've marked the tool as discontinued.
An AI study suite for enriching class notes, drafting essays and generating quizzes. It stopped serving in early March 2026: the origin behind its CDN went away and every request has returned a gateway error since, with the app subdomain 404ing. No shutdown notice was posted. A lookalike domain still carries the branding but is an affiliate redirector, not the product.
Last known pricing: Pricing was quote-based; unknown at the time it went dark.
Neptune.ai was a Warsaw-based MLOps platform for experiment tracking, founded in 2017. OpenAI announced it would acquire the company on December 3, 2025.

Acquired by OpenAI.
Last known pricing: Free tier; paid team and enterprise plans
Optimize real estate investments with AI-driven market intelligence. The product has since been folded into Forty5Park; visitors to the original URL are now redirected to forty5park.com.
Acquired by Forty5Park.
An AI video tool built around synthetic actors and voiceovers. It was still serving in February 2026, began redirecting in March and was returning errors by April; today pipio.ai redirects to an HTTPS endpoint that refuses the handshake. No shutdown notice, no successor domain, no rebrand — it simply stopped being maintained.
Last known pricing: Unknown at the time it went dark.
London LLM-evaluation and AI-safety startup backed by Y Combinator and Creandum. YC lists the company as inactive; its site was unpublished in early 2026.
A multi-agent US-equity research app that hit #2 Product of the Day on Product Hunt in January 2025 and was gone inside eighteen months. Its TLS certificate lapsed in March 2025 and was never renewed; by early 2026 the site was serving blank pages, and the domain has since moved to parking nameservers. The app, landing and www subdomains all stopped resolving. No wind-down notice was ever posted.
Last known pricing: Freemium at the time it went dark.
Kreateable's design platform stopped serving in early 2026 — the marketing site, dashboard and white-label pages all return 404, with the last live capture on 11 February 2026. A 2026 audit had briefly restored it to active on the strength of a maintained domain; the product itself never came back.
GodMode: A powerful suite for developers to access and modify production data safely. The site is no longer reachable as of our last health check; we've marked the tool as discontinued.
Leading generative AI marketing platform for enhanced customer engagement. The site is no longer reachable as of our last health check; we've marked the tool as discontinued.
Pivoted to Feedback Intelligence, then acquired by ActiveCampaign in February 2026.
Acquired by ActiveCampaign.
Still operating. Seismic acquired Highspot in February 2026, creating the largest sales enablement platform in the market at a combined valuation of roughly $6 billion. Highspot continues to ship as a distinct product brand under the Seismic umbrella, with its agentic GTM execution features intact.
Acquired by Seismic.
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.
Acquired by Capital One under a merger agreement announced on 22 January 2026 and completed on 7 April 2026, for roughly $2.6B in cash plus about 10.6 million Capital One shares -- well below the $12.3B valuation it carried at its 2022 peak. Brex continues to operate under its own brand with co-founder Pedro Franceschi as CEO, and the cards, expense automation, bill pay and travel products all keep shipping. What changes is who sets the roadmap: spend decisions now sit inside Capital One's business-banking strategy.
Acquired by Capital One.
AI for hotel management, optimizing revenue and guest services. The site is no longer reachable as of our last health check; we've marked the tool as discontinued.
Acquired by ClickHouse in December 2025; Langfuse continues to operate independently as the LLM observability platform.
Acquired by ClickHouse.
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.
