Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
Requirements
- AI tools only — directory covers 78+ AI categories
- Suggestion-style submission: 'If approved, we will add it' — editorial approval required, listing not guaranteed
- Form fields observed: link to the AI tool (they ask for an affiliate-signup link 'if possible'), tool category, and a message
Prepare before opening the form
- Tool URL — ideally including an affiliate signup link (the field explicitly asks for one)
- Tool category matching their taxonomy (AI for Business, Marketing, SEO, Video, Image & Art, Chatbots, etc.)
- Short pitch/message describing the tool
Workflow
- Open https://www.insidr.ai/submit-tools/ (linked as 'Submit AI Tool' throughout the site)
- Fill the Elementor form: tool link, category, message
- Submit — no account required; the form is a plain POST form
- If approved, the tool is added to the AI Tools Directory
Watch for
- Field labels are mismatched with placeholders (a 'name' field asks for the tool link, an 'email' field asks for category) — fill by placeholder intent
- Paid promotion exists separately ('Want to Promote your AI Tool? Contact us' — directory, newsletter, social media sponsorship)
- WordPress/Elementor site — form is simple but heavy pages load slowly
- Separate 'Submit AI News' form at /submit-news/ is for news, not listings
What counts as live
The tool appears as a page/entry in the Insidr.ai AI Tools Directory under a relevant category
Not verified
- Review turnaround and acceptance criteria beyond 'if approved'
- Whether free listings get a dedicated page vs a link-row, and link type (dofollow/nofollow)
- Whether an affiliate link materially improves acceptance odds
