Best Productivity Resources is twenty-three days old today. This update is the biggest batch of new listings so far, plus a new free tool and several additions to the guides, prompts and design sections.
Free AI and machine learning learning paths
Nine open learning resources joined the directory: Microsoft's AI Agents for Beginners, Made With ML, the MIT Deep Learning book, GenAI Agents, the AI Expert Roadmap, the Prompt Engineering Guide, the LLM Course, Deep Learning Drizzle and the Hugging Face Course. Together they cover the path from first principles to building and shipping agents, and all of them are free.
Open-source video and agent tools
OpenShorts generates short clips, OpenMontage runs an agentic video production pipeline, Open Edit and VoiceStudio handle editing, voice cloning and dubbing locally, and Hypit turns one command into a hundred video variants. On the agent side, Agency Agents, Orca and Codebase Memory MCP help you run and coordinate coding agents.
Design, UI and inspiration
New design listings include OriginKit, OpenUI, Kage, Circle Loaders, Liquid Glass, OpenDesign, Aura, Neuform and TypeUI. They are useful when you want real references and components rather than another moodboard.
Classic how-to sites
eHow, Howcast, WonderHowTo and HowStuffWorks are now listed too. They are simple, long-running sources for step-by-step instructions and clear explanations.
A new growth marketing ideas tool
The tools section now includes a Growth Marketing Ideas generator. Enter your product and audience, pick the channels you care about, and it returns six concrete plays with an effort rating for each. It runs entirely in your browser and nothing is saved or sent anywhere. Link: https://bestproductivityresources.com/growth-marketing-ideas
Guides, prompts and design samples
New visual guides cover ten new AI tips and Zuckerberg's comments on AI safety incentives. The AI prompts section gained a detailed book summary prompt and a contemporary portrait prompt, and new samples were added to the website and mobile app design sections.
Small improvements
Directory links now carry a simple referral tag so listed sites can see where their visitors came from, and the homepage galleries show one item first with a see more button to keep the page light and fast.
Where to start
If you want to learn, start with the AI Expert Roadmap or the Hugging Face Course. If you want to ship something today, open the Growth Marketing Ideas tool. Every listing links straight to the original source.
