For makers

Submit Your AI Tool

Most AI tool directories will take anything with a logo. That's why buyers have stopped trusting them, and why a listing on one rarely turns into a signup.

Tool Index works the other way. Every submission is checked against the site it points to, the listing is written from what that site actually says, and thin wrappers don't make it in. If your product does something real, that filter is on your side.

What We Check Before a Listing Goes Live

Every submission is reviewed before it goes live. For ai tools, these are the things that decide it.

  1. 1 There's a working product behind the landing page. A waitlist with no demo, screenshots or pricing usually waits until there is one.
  2. 2 It does more than pass a prompt to a model. Buyers ask what you add on top, and so do we.
  3. 3 Pricing is visible, even if it says free during beta. A hidden price is the most common reason an AI listing reads as thin.
  4. 4 Output examples are real. If the site shows generated images, video or text, we check they come from your product.

Write a Listing People Act On

We write the listing from your site, so these land best when your site says them too.

  • Say which models you run on, or say that you train your own. People choosing AI tools ask this first.
  • Name the job, not the technology. "Turns sales calls into CRM notes" beats "an AI-powered productivity platform".
  • Put a credit or usage limit next to the free plan. A vague free tier is where most AI tool trials stall.
  • Add two or three screenshots of real output. They make the listing gallery.

What It Costs

Free Listing

$0

Where Else to Launch

No single directory makes a launch. These are the places makers of ai tools get real users from.

Product Hunt
Still the biggest single launch day for consumer AI products. Plan the day and line up your first comments.
Show HN on Hacker News
Works when there is something technical to talk about. A plain wrapper gets a cold reception.
Reddit
Communities around the job your tool does, not the AI ones. Read each subreddit's self-promotion rules first.
Hugging Face Spaces
A free demo there puts your model in front of people who build with AI every day.

Common Questions

Is listing an AI tool free?
Yes. A free listing needs a small nofollow link back to Tool Index on your site and goes live in 7 to 14 days. Paid options skip the queue and need no link.
Do you accept GPT wrappers?
If the wrapper does a job well and says so honestly, yes. If it's a chat box with a new logo, it won't pass review.
Which category will my AI tool go in?
The one buyers would look in. Image, video, voice, music and writing tools get their own categories; general assistants sit under AI Tools.
Can I edit the listing later?
Yes. Claim it through the link we email you, or from the listing page itself, and you can update the description, pricing and screenshots whenever your product changes.
