Why AI Dude submissions get rejected or stall
- Dead or redirecting links
- Duplicate of a tool already listed
- Product is not actually an AI tool
- Overstated free plans (corrected later, but may delay approval)
- Listing in too many categories (not a rejection, but reduces visibility)
Tips for a listing that gets approved
- Choose a narrow, accurate category: the busiest category has 1,070 tools, the quietest 11.
- Write the description as input → output, e.g. 'Turns meeting recordings into Jira tickets'.
- Fill in the pricing block: 545 of 1,344 listings have no pricing, and readers filter by free tier.
- Use a screenshot or logo that shows the product, not a stock illustration.
Our take on AI Dude
