Submit your AI tool to the big AI tool directories (There's An AI For That, Futurepedia, Toolify), a few general launch platforms that welcome AI products (IndieLaunch, Uneed, Microlaunch), and startup directories. Most have a free option; faster review or featured spots usually cost extra.
AI tool directories
- There's An AI For ThatThe largest AI tool directory. Worth it for any product where AI does the main job.
- FuturepediaAn AI tool directory with categories and reviews.
- ToolifyAn AI tool directory with a large catalog and traffic rankings.
These are where people go to look for AI tools, so they bring visitors who are ready to try something. Free listings often wait in a review queue; check each site's current options before paying for a faster one.

How to write an AI tool listing that gets clicks
- Say what it does for the user, not which model it uses: "Turns meeting recordings into follow-up emails", not "GPT-powered assistant".
- Show the output. A screenshot of a real result beats a screenshot of an empty prompt box.
- Be clear about pricing and the free tier. AI directory visitors filter by it.
- Pick the narrowest category that fits. "AI tools" is crowded; "AI for accountants" isn't.
After you're listed
Keep your listings up to date when you ship something big: many directories feature recent updates, and fresh listings rank better. Then work through the general startup directories too; AI buyers search them as well.
