01What it is and who is there

Futurepedia is a directory of AI tools sorted by category. Visitors browse categories such as writing, video or productivity to find tools. The audience is people exploring AI tools for work and personal use. Traffic varies by category, and popular categories are crowded.

02Cost and what you actually pay for

A free listing route exists, and paid options can speed up review or add visibility. Check the current pricing before paying.

03Is it right for you?

It fits AI tools that fit cleanly into one category. It fits poorly for non-AI products and for tools that do many unrelated things. If your category is crowded, a sharp one-line pitch matters most.

04Before you start

  • Pick the one category that fits best.
  • A working product with a free trial or plan.
  • A logo, screenshots and a short description.
  • Read the current submission rules.

05Step-by-step: how to distribute here

  1. Submit the tool in the best-fitting category.
  2. Write a description that names the result users get.
  3. When live, check the listing for accuracy.
  4. Share it once in your own channels.
  5. Update the listing with major changes.

06What to post or submit

Description:

[Product] is an AI tool for [category] that [does job]. Give it [input] and get [output]. Free to try: [details].

07Common mistakes and do-nots

  • Do not pick an unrelated category to chase traffic.
  • Do not overstate what the AI does.
  • Do not pay for placement before seeing what the free listing sends.
