Raghav Bansal Joins Nebula AI: A Smarter, More Sustainable Future for Navigating 40,000+ AI Tools
Written by Connie Etemadi
The AI world is growing at breakneck speed. With 40,000+ tools now on the market, the biggest challenge isn’t access, it’s navigation. And for startups, creators, and teams trying to build responsibly, that kind of clutter can be a silent productivity killer.
That’s the exact problem Nebula AI aims to solve, and now with Raghav Bansal joining as co-founder, the vision is going even deeper.
A Techstars backed, 5x hackathon winner, and perfect GPA senior at Arizona State University, Bansal has spent years in the trenches building AI-first companies. From streamlining workflows for small businesses, to reinventing music collaboration, to building ad engines that optimize in real time, every startup he built relied on staying up to date with the ever-changing AI tool landscape.
“There were days I spent more time researching tools than actually building,” Bansal says. “When Adrian showed me Nebula, I knew I had to be part of it.”
Nebula AI, originally launched by Adrian Nunez, is built to reduce that noise, creating a cleaner, more sustainable way to discover, test, and manage AI tools. Its swipe-based interface, verified reviews, and custom chatbot make exploring new tools easier than ever.
With Nebula v02 launching in November, users can expect:
- A redesigned UI and recommendation engine
- A smarter, more intuitive chatbot
- A refined swiping experience
- Mobile access (already live on Android, iOS arriving shortly)
But sustainability here doesn’t mean slowing down. It means removing friction, helping people spend less time bouncing between spreadsheets, broken links, and cluttered marketplaces.
“The goal is to make AI adoption efficient, not exhausting,” says Nunez. “That’s the sustainable future we’re working toward.”
Together, Nunez and Bansal are turning Nebula into something more than a directory. The vision for Nebula v05 includes:
- AI tool integration directly into the platform
- Payments, onboarding, and reviews all inside one ecosystem
- Verified creator demos and “Tool of the Year” awards
- API access and data monetization tools for developers
With over 2,000 AI tool partners already on board and a fast-growing community built purely through content and word-of-mouth, Nebula AI is moving faster than ever.
“The mess of the AI market is unsustainable,” says Bansal. “Nebula is how we fix it.”
