How to Submit Your AI Tool to AIModels.fyi

AIModels.fyi has published an open invitation for builders to submit their AI tools to the site, announced in a "Build In Public" post titled "You're invited to submit your AI tool to AIModels.fyi" (dated Mar 19, 2024). To submit, start from that post in the Build In Public section of notes.aimodels.fyi — it is the site's stated entry point for getting a tool considered for listing. The site does not publish the exact submission form fields or review timeline in the material available here, so treat the post itself as the source of the current requirements before you prepare anything.

Where to Find the Submission Invitation

The invitation lives in the Build In Public section of the site, alongside other behind-the-scenes posts such as "Transforming Spaces with Artificial Intelligence" and "Different now." The site's navigation lists these sections:

Open Build In Public, then select the post "You're invited to submit your AI tool to AIModels.fyi." That post is where the site explains what it wants from submitters.

What to Prepare Before You Submit

Because the post is the authoritative source, read it first and follow whatever it asks for. In the meantime, you can get ahead by assembling the material a model directory typically needs — and that AIModels.fyi's own framing suggests:

• A clear name and one-line description of what your tool does, in plain English. The site's editorial style favors plain-language explanations (see its "Plain English Papers" section).
• The problem it solves and who it's for. The site's stated purpose is helping people "find the right one for your project," so describe the project types your tool fits.
• A working link to the tool or its documentation.
• Any notable capability or result worth highlighting — for example, a benchmark, a demo output, or a use case writeup.

If your tool has a public writeup or tutorial, that maps well onto the site's existing Guides format, which covers concrete tasks like turning audio into a waveform or swapping faces with a specific model.

How the Review Likely Works

The material available does not describe an approval process, acceptance criteria, or response time. What is documented is that the site actively curates and publishes tool- and model-focused content, and that it explicitly invites submissions. A reasonable expectation, based on how the site is organized, is that accepted tools would appear in its searchable model database or be covered in a post — but confirm this with the site rather than assuming a listing is guaranteed.

Common Pitfalls

• Submitting without reading the invitation post. The post is the only documented channel; skipping it means guessing at requirements.
• Vague descriptions. The site's audience is looking for a model that fits a specific project. A description that names the task, the input, and the output is more useful than a slogan.
• Assuming submission equals listing. No source here promises publication, so plan to follow up through whatever contact route the post provides.

If you want a model of the site's preferred depth, read one of its Guides (such as the Audio-To-Waveform tutorial) before writing your own description — it shows the level of concrete, step-level detail the editors tend to publish.
