best-of-ai/ai-directories

An awesome list of best top AI directories to submit your ai tools

What this project is

ai-directories is a curated list of websites that catalog AI tools and products. Think of it as a directory of directories — a single place where you can find many other sites that list AI software, agents, and resources.

What it contains

The README lists dozens of individual AI directory websites, each with a one-line description. Examples include:

  • Altern — "Find almost anything related to AI"
  • Futurepedia — "THE LARGEST AI TOOLS DIRECTORY, UPDATED DAILY"
  • Toolify.ai — "Best AI Companies and Tools, Auto Updated Daily By ChatGPT"
  • AI Agents Directory — "Specialized directory for AI Agents and Frameworks, UPDATED DAILY"

Many entries focus on specific niches: AI agents, AI coding tools, AI for developers, AI for sales, AI for e-commerce, and more. A few are non-English (e.g., a French directory, a Chinese AI tools directory).

How it's organized

The list is sorted alphabetically by directory name (A through Z), with a table of contents at the top linking to each letter section. Each entry is a hyperlink to the external directory site, followed by a short tagline.

Who it's for and why

Per the README's introduction, the target audience is AI developers and product teams. The stated purpose is to help them:

  • Discover where to list their AI products
  • Submit their tools to these directories
  • Boost visibility of their AI innovations

The project frames itself as a way to foster "collaboration and recognition within the AI community."

Additional notes from the README

  • The README points readers to an external site, topaidirectories.com, which claims to offer a more complete list plus "done-for-you" submissions to hundreds of directories.
  • Two sponsors are listed: Altern AI and Productivity Directory.
  • One directory, Productivity Directory, is highlighted as a "Featured Directory."
  • Some entries are themselves GitHub repositories (e.g., "Awesome AI Tools" and "Awesome AI Coding Tools"), so the list isn't limited to standalone websites.

What it is not

  • It is not a directory itself — it's a list pointing to other directories.
  • It does not contain reviews, ratings, or comparisons of the directories (beyond the one-line descriptions).
  • It does not include AI tools directly; it only lists places where AI tools can be found or submitted.
