Stack Optimization
Stack optimization is the ongoing process of improving your AI tool collection. My Stack gives you the visibility; our docs give you the framework.
What My Stack Shows
Health score — Based on technical quality, integration connectivity, and diversity. Higher is better. Use it as a signal, not a final verdict.
Est. cost — Sum of known pricing. Identify high-cost tools and consider alternatives.
Integrations — How well your tools connect. Gaps suggest manual work or missing automation.
Optimization Steps
- Audit — Use the >Stack Audit Framework. Score each tool: Keep, Replace, or Cut.
- Find redundancy — Two tools doing the same thing? Consolidate. See >Tool Consolidation.
- Fill gaps — Workflows that should be AI-assisted but are not? Run >Smart Match for recommendations.
- Optimize cost — Use >Free vs. Paid and >Understanding AI Pricing to evaluate spend.
Quarterly Review
Run a stack review every quarter. Re-audit. Update based on new needs and new tools. My Stack and the directory help you track and discover.
