AI Directories
AI Directories is a launch and distribution service for AI startups. You hand over your product details, and their team manually submits your tool to dozens or hundreds of curated AI directories on your behalf. The goal is backlinks, SEO lift, and early traffic without spending days filling out listing forms yourself.
The directory list itself is the differentiator. Founder Sergiu Chiriac built it after submitting his own AI side projects and realizing how scattered and time-consuming the process was. The team tests directories for real results, organizes them by quality, and handles each submission by hand rather than blasting automated forms.
Beyond the paid submission service, the site also runs a public AI tools directory with 1,400+ listed tools, free utilities like a domain rating checker, and comparison pages against other listing services. It is aimed at indie hackers, early-stage founders, and small teams who want distribution work off their plate so they can keep shipping product.
