AI tools
What you actually get
A tool page with a thumbnail, a cover, a gallery, FAQs, an integrations list and a pricing badge, plus a dofollow link. They claim a million views a month. Existing listings sit beside affiliate links carrying via and fpr parameters, so the page you land on is monetised.

How to submit to AI Zones

  1. Sign in
    Google, through a dialog that opens over the form.
  2. Fill a very long form
    URL, name, contact email, tagline, product details, social links, up to two categories, integrations, API and open-source flags, a pricing model and amount, tags, a discount code, a thumbnail, a cover under 2MB, up to three gallery images, a YouTube URL and up to ten FAQs. There is a Generate with AI button, capped at three attempts, that fills it from your URL.
  3. Pay $20
    The submit button is the checkout. A coupon field sits above it.

Gotchas

There is no free listing. The form is free to fill and $20 to submit, which is easy to discover only at the end.
The AI fill button is capped at three attempts per session, so a run that leans on it and then reloads the page has burned them.
Their own tool pages carry affiliate links with via and fpr parameters alongside the listings, so the neighbours on your page are monetised placements.
