Same job, different approach

Solves the same problem with a different architecture or at a different layer. Expect to rewrite the integration.

Older generation, or narrower

An earlier or more limited way to do the job. Still the right call when you need something small, proven, or CPU-only.

End-user tools

Does the same job, but ships as an app. Useful to a person, not swappable into a codebase.
