How to get featured on There's An AI For That

There's An AI For That (theresanaiforthat.com) is one of the OG AI directories — it launched early in the AI tool explosion and built a strong brand around the idea that there's a purpose-built AI for every task imaginable. The name helps: it's memorable, it implies comprehensiveness, and it ranks well for "AI tool for [task]" queries because its category pages are well-structured and indexed thoroughly by Google.

For any AI-powered product, getting listed here should be on the launch checklist. The audience is right, the domain authority is solid, and the process is genuinely simple.

Quick answer: Getting featured on There's An AI For That (TAAFT) is free — submit at theresanaiforthat.com, write a specific description of what your AI tool does and who it's for, and select all relevant categories. Editorial review takes a few days to two weeks. The backlink is nofollow, but the referral traffic and citation footprint for AI-powered search tools like Perplexity make it a worthwhile listing for any AI product.

What is There's An AI For That and who's the audience?

There's An AI For That (often abbreviated TAAFT) is a curated aggregator of AI tools across virtually every use category. It was one of the earliest major AI directories and has maintained relevance by staying comprehensive and keeping the listing quality high enough that buyers actually trust the results.

The audience skews toward early adopters, AI enthusiasts, and curious professionals looking for tools to improve their workflows. Compared to Capterra or G2, the purchase intent is lower — these are browsers as much as buyers — but the audience discovers and shares new tools enthusiastically. Being listed on TAAFT has driven meaningful early traction for a number of products, particularly because the community shares finds on social media and in AI-focused newsletters.

If you're building for a niche use case, TAAFT's category structure often exposes your tool to exactly the right audience: people searching specifically for "AI for [your use case]" who would never have found your product through Google alone.

How do you submit to There's An AI For That?

Navigate to theresanaiforthat.com and find the submission form (typically linked in the footer or navigation as "Submit a Tool"). The form is straightforward: product name, website URL, short description, categories, and pricing model.

The description is your most important field. TAAFT uses it as the primary display text on your listing card and in search results within the directory. Write it to clearly convey what the tool does and who it serves — aim for specificity over enthusiasm. "An AI writing assistant for customer support teams that auto-drafts replies based on your help docs" is better than "revolutionary AI that transforms your support workflow."

Category selection is worth thinking about carefully. TAAFT has a detailed category taxonomy and allows products to appear in multiple relevant categories. Pick all that genuinely apply — being in more categories increases your discovery surface.

Is there an editorial review process?

Yes, TAAFT reviews submissions before listing them. The review is editorial rather than technical — they're checking that your product is real, accurately described, and genuinely AI-powered. Pure software products with no meaningful AI component are unlikely to get approved.

The review typically takes a few days to a couple of weeks. If your product is newly launched or still in early access, include that context in the submission — TAAFT does list pre-launch tools, particularly if there's a waitlist or a clear upcoming release date.

TAAFT offers a paid "featured" placement that bumps your listing to the top of category pages and includes homepage placement for a period. This is an optional paid upgrade; the standard listing is free.

What does a listing on TAAFT actually deliver?

Traffic from TAAFT varies considerably by category popularity and your placement within it. Tools in high-traffic categories like writing, image generation, or productivity see higher referral volumes than niche categories, though niche categories often deliver higher-quality, more qualified traffic.

The backlink from TAAFT is nofollow, so it doesn't directly improve your domain rating. The value is in the referral traffic, the discovery surface for searches that happen within the TAAFT interface, and the citation footprint it adds — which matters increasingly for AI-powered search tools like Perplexity that use listing sites as reference points when answering queries about AI tools in a category.

Being listed on TAAFT also creates social proof. The "seen on" value of appearing in well-known AI directories is a trust signal for landing pages and pitch decks.

What's the smartest way to use your TAAFT listing?

Once you're listed, check the listing periodically to ensure the description and category tags are accurate as your product evolves. If your tool gains new capabilities, the submission form allows updates.

If you're seeing referral traffic from TAAFT, consider whether the paid featured placement makes sense during a high-intent period — a new feature launch, a pricing promotion, or a period when you're actively trying to drive signups. The featured slot gives you top-of-category visibility for a defined window, and for the right product in the right category, the conversion math can work.
