What is this?
Carrot is a curated Chinese-language directory of AI tools and sites, listing chatbots, agents, image/video generators, and dev tools, with notes on which are free, require login, or need international network access.
Is this a website I browse, or a code library?
It's a static markdown list rendered as a navigation website, not something you install or import into a project.
How do I use this list?
Open the published site or browse the README table of categories, pick a category like 'General Assistants' or 'Hot', and click through to the listed service.
Are all the listed tools actually free and accessible?
No — entries are tagged with icons showing which need login/password, which require access to international networks (VPN-like), and which are free, so availability varies per entry.
Who is this list for?
It's aimed at Chinese-speaking users looking for AI chat assistants, agents, dev tools, and creative tools, including many mainland China alternatives and mirror sites to official services like ChatGPT and Claude.
How is the list organized?
Entries are grouped into categories such as 'Hot', 'General Assistants & AI Search', coding tools, and creative/video tools, each with a short description, status icons, and a link.
Can I submit a new site to the list?
Yes, the README points to a page for submitting new sites or reporting broken/incorrect entries.
Does it include mirror sites for ChatGPT and Claude?
Yes, several entries are free or no-login mirror/proxy sites for ChatGPT, Claude, and GPT-4o aimed at users without easy international access.
Is the list kept up to date?
Entries marked with a 🆕 icon indicate recently updated items, suggesting the list is actively maintained as new tools and mirrors appear.
