Our story
If you build with AI tools, you should be able to see what's known to be wrong with them.
I'm Johnny Mobley. I started building systems for other people in 2000, when I was 16, and I've been doing it ever since. Along the way I automated most of my own work, and the tools I built for myself became these companies. Each one runs on rules I wrote down, not on paid AI calls, which is why it can cost so little.
AI projects pull in a lot of open-source code: PyTorch, TensorFlow, model runtimes, the libraries around them. Each one has its own list of published security holes, and the rules about how AI can be used keep changing in Washington. I built AmericanAGI so one page can search both: the government's own vulnerability database and the Federal Register.
Every result comes straight from those public sources and links back to them. It is a search, not a scan: it doesn't look at your code or tell you whether you're affected, and it isn't legal advice.
What works today
- Searches NIST's National Vulnerability Database for published security holes in a library you name, like PyTorch or TensorFlow
- Searches the Federal Register for executive orders, notices and rules about AI
What it doesn't do yet
Snyk still does things AmericanAGI doesn't:
- Scanning your own project's dependencies and telling you which holes actually affect you.
- Suggesting the fix or the safe version to upgrade to.
- Alerts when a new vulnerability is published.
- Checking your own code, containers and cloud setup.
- Newest-first results. The search shows a handful of matches and they can be older ones.
What it costs
| What you get | Price | |
|---|---|---|
| Snyk Team, billed monthly | Higher test limits, Jira integration and support for teams of up to 10 developers. Their free plan already scans your code and open-source dependencies for known vulnerabilities. | $25/mo |
| AmericanAGI | Both searches above, no account needed. An optional $4 30-day pass gives more results in its Hugging Face model search. | Free |
Snyk's price is from their pricing page as of October 29, 2026. Prices change, so check theirs before you compare.
