What is Submit a Tool?
Submit a Tool helps makers submit an AI tool to a catalog of more than 270 hand-curated AI directories and SaaS directories. The directories are ranked by authority and re-checked monthly, and the whole list is organized into one ordered route so a launch can move from directory to directory without rebuilding the plan each time. A free checklist records which targets are done and which remain.
Beyond the list, the site offers a form filler: you define your product fields once and they are matched to directory forms by meaning, so labels do not need to match exactly. Filling forms yourself is free; paid credits apply only when a directory is actually submitted for you by the extension or the team. Each such submission is followed by searches at one day, one week and one month to check whether your link has been indexed.
