New resources and a growth ideas tool: day 23

Best Productivity Resources turns twenty-three days old today. This update brings the biggest batch of new listings so far, plus a new free tool and a bunch of additions to the guides, prompts and design sections.

Free learning paths for AI and machine learning

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 take you from first principles all the way to building and shipping agents. And every one of them is free.

Open-source tools for video and agents

On the video side, OpenShorts generates short clips and 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. For agents, Agency Agents and Orca help you run and coordinate coding agents, while Codebase Memory MCP gives them a knowledge graph of your codebase to query.

Design, UI and inspiration to work from

New design listings include OriginKit, OpenUI, Kage, Circle Loaders, Liquid Glass, OpenDesign, Aura, Neuform and TypeUI. Reach for them when you want real references and components, not another moodboard.

Classic how-to sites, now listed

eHow, Howcast, WonderHowTo and HowStuffWorks are in the directory now too. They're simple, long-running places to get step-by-step instructions and clear explanations.

A new tool for growth marketing ideas

There's a new Growth Marketing Ideas generator in the tools section. Enter your product and audience, pick the channels you care about, and you'll get six concrete plays back, each with an effort rating. It runs entirely in your browser, and nothing is saved or sent anywhere. Link: https://bestproductivityresources.com/growth-marketing-ideas

New guides, prompts and design samples

New visual guides cover ten new AI tips and Zuckerberg's comments on AI safety incentives. Over in the AI prompts section, you'll find a detailed book summary prompt and a contemporary portrait prompt. New samples also landed in the website and mobile app design sections.

A few 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.
