What you actually get
A card in a catalogue that is almost entirely AI image and video generators: Sora, Flux, Seedream, Qwen, Nano Banana, one car-video tool. The listing page carries three outbound links to your site and not one of them has a rel attribute, so the dofollow the pricing page advertises is real and observable. The index is small and the domain measures DR 0, so the link is the whole of what you get and the readership behind it is a rounding error.

How to submit to AiNaviTool

  1. Sign in with Google
    /submit redirects to /auth/login. The card offers email and password, Google and GitHub, and the Google button creates the account on first use with nothing else to fill in.
  2. Check the taxonomy before you write anything
    Open the Categories and Tags dropdowns first. Categories holds nine entries and Tags holds three, and both lists are about generating images and video. If nothing in Tags is true of your product, stop here: the field is mandatory and there is no other way past step 1.
  3. Fill step 1 of 3
    Link, Name, at least one category, at least one tag, a short Description, and an Introduction in a markdown editor. Then an Icon at 1:1 and an Image at 16:9, both PNG or JPEG and both capped at 1MB.
  4. Submit, and look upward if nothing happens
    The Submit button sits under the uploads and fails silently when a field is missing. The reason prints as one red line beside the Tags label at the top of the form, out of sight, and nothing scrolls you to it.
  5. Payment, then Publish
    Steps 2 and 3 are labelled Payment and Publish. The free plan runs through the same two screens, and the free lane's price is the permanent backlink rather than money.

Gotchas

At least one tag is mandatory and the entire tag vocabulary is AI Images, AI Photo and Image Qwen. A product that does not generate images cannot finish step 1 without filing itself under something untrue, and the nine categories underneath are the same shape: nano banana, vedio, ai vedio, AI Images, game, AI Photo Generator, AI tool, Qwen Image, ai game.
The free plan's backlink is not a one-off check. The plan card sells it as permanent link with backlink maintenance, so the link has to stay up for the listing to stay up.
Submit fails silently. With a required field empty the button does nothing at all, and the only message is a red line beside the Tags label at the very top of a form long enough that the button is a screen and a half below it.

Let your agent submit to AiNaviTool

Connect SubmitMap to your AI over MCP and this page stops being something you read and copy. Your agent asks for the AiNaviTool playbook and gets the brief for this exact form, with the values already taken from your submission pack instead of placeholders you fill in by hand.

What it does for this platform
Checks your product against the 7 AiNaviTool rules above, so you find out you would be rejected before you open a tab.
Hands your agent all 9 fields this form asks for, none of them optional, already filled from your pack.
Warns you that AiNaviTool looks for its badge on your site, so it has to be live before you submit rather than after.
Tells you what paying buys here, so you pick it on purpose: the free plan is $0 and buys three dofollow links, a listing inside 72 hours and a date you pick, in exchange for a permanent backlink to https://ainavitool.com that the plan card calls backlink maintenance. Pro is $9.9 and drops the backlink requirement, lists immediately and puts the card at the top. Sponsor is $19.9 a week and is advertising across the site rather than a faster lane into the index.
Types it into AiNaviTool in your own browser, and stops for you when the form wants a sign-in.
Records what it sent, so the dashboard can answer "did I ever submit to AiNaviTool?".
