Editorial Policy

1. Our purpose

The directory helps people discover AI tools and quickly understand what each one does, who it suits and what to keep in mind before trying it. It is a curated, English-language directory of third-party products, organized into categories that range from AI assistants and coding tools to meetings, customer support and data analytics.

Browsing is free. There are no user accounts or logins, and we don't publish user ratings, reviews or comments. Each listing is our own editorial summary, guided by four principles:

• Accuracy — we describe what a product does, based on information we can check.
• Independence — inclusion, wording and Editor's picks can't be bought.
• Balance — every listing includes points to consider, not only strengths.
• Transparency — paid relationships are labeled, and we explain how the directory works.

2. Editorial independence

Our editors decide which tools we list, how we describe them, which category, tags and pricing label they receive, and which tools become Editor's picks. Those decisions follow this policy. They are not based on payment.

Being listed is free, and payment can't secure a listing, more favorable wording, an Editor's pick, or the removal of accurate caveats.

We welcome corrections from providers and readers and act on them when they are accurate, but we decide the final wording of every listing. We don't sell reviews, fake engagement or "pay-to-rank" editorial content, and no client arrangement can change how the directory presents a competitor.

3. How we choose tools

Our editors find tools through their own research, for example by following product launches and developments in each category. We are not accepting tool submissions at this time, and we don't aim to list every AI product on the market.

What we list

We list AI products that people can use today: web, desktop and mobile apps; APIs, models and developer platforms; browser extensions and plug-ins; agents and automation platforms; and open-source or locally run projects. To be listed, a product must be:

• Live and publicly accessible — anyone who meets the provider's published requirements can sign up for it, download it, buy it or contact sales. Waitlists, "coming soon" pages and invite-only betas don't qualify.
• Genuinely AI-powered — AI is central to the product, not a minor add-on or a marketing label.
• Clearly presented — it has a working official website that explains what the product does, who it is for and who makes it, with a privacy policy and terms if it collects personal data.

What we don't list

• illegal products, and tools that facilitate unlawful activity;
• malware, spyware, credential stealers, and tools for unauthorized access to accounts, devices or systems;
• tools for fraud, phishing, scams or impersonation, including fake documents, reviews or engagement;
• sexual content involving minors, non-consensual intimate imagery, and tools whose main purpose is sexually explicit content;
• deceptive deepfake tools without meaningful consent safeguards, and tools for hate speech, harassment or doxing;
• tools that help people make or acquire weapons, academic dishonesty services, unlicensed gambling, and "get rich quick" schemes; and
• tools built to sell personal data, track people without their knowledge, or infringe intellectual property.

Some legitimate tools carry higher risks, for example in health, finance, legal services, employment screening, education, security testing, biometrics, voice cloning and realistic images of people. We list them only after extra review, and only if the provider's own website shows clear safeguards and appropriate disclaimers.

4. How we review a listing

Before a tool is published, an editor works through these steps:

1. Verify that it's live and official. We confirm that the product is live, that it is publicly accessible, and that the link goes to the provider's own website.
2. Check what it does and who makes it. We use the provider's website, documentation and other public information to understand the product's core capabilities and to identify the developer named in the listing.
3. Check claims and the pricing model. We check the details we plan to publish against what the provider publishes, leave out claims we can't verify, and assign a pricing label using the definitions in Pricing labels.
4. Check for a privacy policy and terms. Where a product collects personal data, we check that the provider publishes a privacy policy and terms on its own website.
5. Apply our criteria. We check the tool against the criteria in How we choose tools. Higher-risk areas get extra review, and tools we don't list are left out.
6. Choose a category and tags. We place the tool in the category that matches its main purpose and add tags for specific capabilities and use cases.
7. Write an original description. We write the listing in our own words, as described in How we write listings.

We repeat the relevant steps when a listing is updated, corrected or re-checked.

5. What a listing is — and isn't

A listing is a concise, independent summary designed to help you decide whether a tool deserves a closer look. Each listing includes the following elements:

A listing is not:

• an in-depth test or hands-on review of every feature;
• a security audit, or an assessment of the provider's privacy practices or legal compliance;
• an endorsement, certification or recommendation for your particular needs; or
• a guarantee that every detail is current, since providers change their products and pricing.

Before you rely on a tool — especially for work, for personal data, or for anything with legal, financial or health consequences — check the provider's current terms, pricing and privacy practices. Our Disclaimer explains the limits of the information we publish.

6. How we write listings

We apply the same writing standards to every listing:

• Original wording. Every description is written in our own words. We don't copy providers' marketing copy or text from other websites, and we treat text that providers send us as source material rather than finished copy.
• Neutral language. We avoid hype, superlatives and rankings, and we describe what a tool does rather than what it promises.
• Checkable facts. We focus on stable, core capabilities. We don't publish prices, which change often, or user numbers and other statistics we can't verify, and we don't make claims about competitors.
• Fair caveats. "Things to consider" are factual and balanced. We don't speculate about a provider's finances, legal disputes or security incidents.
• AI-assisted, human-edited. Drafts may be prepared with AI assistance. A human editor always reviews and edits each listing, checking it against the provider's own information, before it is published.

We write for a general audience and explain technical terms where we can. If wording in a listing seems inaccurate or unfair, please tell us, as described in Corrections and updates.

7. Pricing labels

Each listing shows one pricing-model label. The label describes how a product is offered, not what it costs:

Labels are indicative. Providers change their pricing, so always confirm current plans and costs on the provider's website before you sign up or pay.

8. Editor's picks

Editor's picks highlight tools that our editors consider a strong starting point in their category. When choosing them, we consider:

• Broad usefulness — the tool addresses a common need for a wide range of people or teams.
• Maturity and reliability — it is an established, actively maintained product with clear documentation and support.
• Clear pricing — its pricing model and main limits are easy to understand before you commit.
• Strong fit for its category — it represents the category well and is a sensible place to begin.

Editor's picks are chosen editorially and are never paid for. They can't be bought as part of any promotion package or marketing service.

A pick reflects our editorial judgment at a point in time, not testing or certification. We revisit picks from time to time and may add or remove them as tools and categories change. A tool that isn't a pick may still be the right choice for you.

9. How listings are ordered and displayed

Editor's picks carry a badge on their listing. Each listing also suggests related tools, with Editor's picks first, followed by other tools in the order they were added, newest first. Our sitemap lists every tool alphabetically.

The order of listings is never influenced by payment. The only exception is sponsored placements: when they exist, they may appear in slots that are clearly labeled "Sponsored". Because the site has no user ratings or reviews, nothing is ranked by scores or votes.

Listing tiles show a monogram generated from the tool's name rather than the provider's logo. The "Visit website" link on each listing opens the provider's site in a new tab. Standard links carry the nofollow attribute, and links in paid placements carry the sponsored attribute.

10. Corrections and updates

We want every listing to be accurate. If you notice an error or an out-of-date detail, please tell us:

• Providers and readers can request corrections and updates, such as a new name, website address, pricing model or platform, through the contact form with the listing topic selected. A link to the official page that confirms the change helps us act quickly.
• Anyone can report a listing that seems misleading, unsafe or harmful through the contact form with the report topic selected. If you start a report from a listing, the related tool is filled in for you.

We aim to reply within two business days (Monday to Friday, excluding US federal holidays). We verify requested changes before making them, and once we have confirmed a factual error we correct it as soon as we reasonably can. Corrections are always free.

We also revisit listings from time to time to check that products are still available and that key details, such as the website address and pricing model, still look right. Products change quickly, so we can't promise that every detail is current at every moment.

11. Sponsored content and conflicts of interest

Ankhway Marketing offers marketing services to AI and software companies: directory promotion (sponsored placements, highlighted listings and tool spotlight articles), performance advertising, SEO and content marketing, and social media and creator campaigns. These services are provided under separate written agreements, and we never guarantee rankings, traffic, sales or other results.

Because this creates a potential conflict of interest, we follow these rules:

• Any listing whose provider has a paid relationship with us — a sponsored placement, or a company that is a client of our marketing services — is labeled "Sponsored".
• Paid promotional content, such as a highlighted listing or a tool spotlight article, is also labeled as sponsored.
• Sponsored and client listings go through the same review and must meet the same criteria as every other listing.
• Payment never buys a listing, an Editor's pick, favorable wording or a higher position among listings, other than a clearly labeled sponsored slot.
• The decision to list a tool is never tied to a sale.
• Outbound links in paid placements carry the sponsored attribute.

As of the date shown at the top of this page, the directory has no sponsored listings and no affiliate links. If that changes, the rules above apply, and we will say so in our Advertising Disclosure, which explains our paid relationships in more detail.

12. Removing listings

We may remove a listing, or hide it while we look into a problem, when:

• the product has been discontinued or is no longer publicly available;
• the website is broken, persistently unavailable, or redirects somewhere unrelated;
• the tool no longer meets the criteria in How we choose tools, for example because it has moved into an area we don't list or lacks the safeguards we require;
• we have verified a complaint, for example about safety, misleading claims or intellectual property; or
• the provider asks us to remove it and we agree after reviewing the request.

Where there is a risk of harm, we may remove a listing immediately. Otherwise, we may contact the provider first to give them a chance to fix the issue. Removal decisions are made by our editors and, like every other editorial decision, can't be influenced by payment. For intellectual property complaints, please see our Copyright & Takedown Policy.

13. Contact

Questions about this policy, corrections and other editorial matters can be sent through our contact form with the listing topic selected. To report a problem with a listing, choose the report topic. We aim to reply within two business days.
