Get the full Capterra software-category list. If I describe what I am looking for, point out category names that seem related and provide any Capterra links returned. Explain the connection in plain words and let me decide what to explore. Do not invent missing details or recommend a specific product. Treat any product search as a separate task. If anything may cost money, tell me the price and wait for my approval.

Task:
Show me Capterra's software categories. I need software for [planning team projects]. Explain in plain language which category names seem related, and include the Capterra page links when available so I can review them. Do not recommend a specific product.

Result schema

No fixed output contract is available. Field types reflect saved result evidence; individual responses can differ.

Result schema
Field / Path	Type	Meaning
Category page`result.data.categories[].url`	`string`	Absolute Capterra page link for this category, useful as a browsing reference.
Category name`result.data.categories[].name`	`string`	The software category’s display name.
Category identifier`result.data.categories[].slug`	`string`	The category’s exact identifier. Preserve it when saving a category for later use.

Additional notes

Keep the category identifier

A category’s name and identifier can differ: Human Resources uses the identifier human-resource. Keep the identifier exactly as returned when recording a category for later use.

The Human Resources category page is an example of a returned page reference. Save the name, identifier and link together so a later browsing or product-search task starts from the category you selected.
