What you actually get
A page at /ai/<slug> with your screenshot, icon and four categories. Filed as an AI product, so a tool with no AI angle sits oddly here.

How to submit to AI Toolz

  1. Sign in
    Log in with Google is the only option; /api/auth/google?redirect=/submit goes straight there.
  2. Enter the URL
    Step 1 takes your homepage and nothing else, then generates a badge pointing at the listing URL you have not created yet.
  3. Put the badge up and verify
    Step 2 will not pass until their checker finds that exact anchor. The listing fields do not exist until it does.
  4. Fill and submit
    Step 3 wants a name, a screenshot, an icon, up to four categories, a pricing model, 150 characters of summary and 1,500 of description.

Gotchas

The badge is not the last step, it is the second: the listing fields do not render at all until their checker has found the anchor, so there is nothing to preview and nothing to save first.
The badge they generate points at a listing URL that does not exist yet, so it answers 404 while you are waiting to be reviewed.
They publish no review window anywhere, and the only receipt is a success page.
The site carries a house ad for the operator's own bulk submission service on every page, which is what the directory is really selling.
