New Term Radar

New Term Radar is an open-source tool maintained by GitHub user zhuyansen that collects newly appearing AI terms, models, products and code repositories from several sources every day. The README says a small model scores each term to decide whether it names one specific thing or is a common word, then judges whether people can search for it and what it is for, and turns the results into keyword and competition evidence tables. Unlike a plain keyword tool, it looks at when a name first shows up and when it suddenly takes off across several sources. It works as a command-line tool, a Claude Code plugin and an MCP server, with docs in Chinese and English.

Who it's for:people running AI directories, doing SEO research, writing newsletters or researching products. You need to be comfortable with the command line and API keys; readers who don't write code won't get much from it.

Before you start: the README says that enabling the Claude Code plugin asks for an AIsa key and an optional GoAnyAPI key and stores them in the system keychain for the server to read; you can also connect a read-only Search Console token file. It can run on a schedule with cron or GitHub Actions and send email digests through Resend. The code is free under the MIT licence, but data services such as AIsa, GoAnyAPI and TrustMRR need your own keys and charge per call. The author notes that TrustMRR's API terms forbid republishing its data or building public SEO pages with it.
