How to Submit an AI Tool to AI Collection (thataicollection.com)

AI Collection accepts tool submissions through a "Submit with AI" option shown in its site navigation, and the site also invites tool makers to "List your tool →" from its "For agents" section. The directory describes itself as "hand-checked and categorized," so a submission is a request for review rather than an instant listing. The site does not publish listing fees, review timelines, or acceptance criteria in the available material, so confirm those on the site's About page before you plan around a launch date.

What the site tells you about submissions

Step-by-step submission

1. Open the site and find the submission entry. Go to thataicollection.com and look for "Submit with AI" in the top navigation, or "List your tool →" in the "For agents" block near the search area.
2. Prepare your tool's core facts before you start. You will need the tool name, its URL, a one-line description, and the audience or category it belongs to. The directory organizes tools by audience (Writers, Designers, Developers, Marketers, Students, Creators) and by category (for example Image Editing, AI Art & Illustration, Video Editing, Content Generation & SEO), so decide which of these your tool genuinely fits.
3. Complete the submission flow. Enter your tool's details as prompted. Because the entry point is labeled "Submit with AI," expect the flow to help draft or structure your listing rather than only accept a plain form.
4. Expect review, not instant publication. The directory states its tools are hand-checked and categorized. Treat your submission as pending until you see the tool appear in the index.
5. Verify your listing. Search for your tool by name on the site, and check that it appears under the audience and category you intended. If it lands in the wrong category, use the site's contact or About page to request a correction.

What to check before submitting

• Category fit. With 80 categories, a precise match beats a broad one. A tool that edits photos belongs in Image Editing (424 tools) rather than a general writing category.
• Audience fit. Pick the audience page where your users actually are; the site's audience pages describe the intent of each group (for example, Developers covers code generation, refactoring, review, and ops).
• Listing requirements. The available site material does not spell out eligibility rules, pricing, or required assets. Check the About page and the submission flow itself for the current requirements rather than assuming a free or paid listing.
• Language coverage. If your tool serves non-English users, note that the directory operates in six languages; a localized description may help it surface in those versions.

Common sticking points

• Assuming submission equals listing. The "hand-checked" wording means a review gate exists. Do not announce your directory presence until the tool is visible.
• Choosing a crowded category without differentiation. Popular categories already hold hundreds of tools (Image Editing: 424; AI Art & Illustration: 329; Video Editing: 247). A clear, specific one-liner helps your tool stand out in a long list.
• Skipping the About page. Since fees and criteria are not published in the material available, the About page is the place to confirm them before you invest time in assets or copy.

If your goal is simply to be found alongside comparable tools, submitting to the audience and category that match your product's actual use is the whole task; everything else on the site — search, "Tool of the week," "What's new" — is discovery that follows from being listed.
