There's An AI For That

My Experience

There’s An AI For That (often shortened to TAAFT) started as a simple AI tool tracker and has grown into one of the largest and most visible AI directories on the internet. Independent write-ups describe it as an “AI search engine” where you type what you want to achieve (for example, “summarize a PDF” or “generate ad copy”) and it suggests relevant tools, rather than forcing you to browse long category lists. Over time, the directory has expanded to tens of thousands of tools mapped to thousands of tasks and job applications, and is frequently cited as a go-to resource for discovering AI tools for work, research and creativity.

On top of the directory, TAAFT has also built a huge media layer: the team runs what’s often described as the world’s largest AI newsletter (well into seven-figure subscriber numbers) plus a growing community around AI tools. That means getting listed is partly about the on-site directory traffic and partly about being plugged into their email and social channels. From a NickLaunches perspective, it’s a high-signal, high-volume place to appear if you’re serious about your AI product – but because submissions are paid and competition is intense, it works best when you already have a clear value proposition, a decent landing page and at least some idea of your target customer.

Submission Process

1. Decide if a paid listing fits your goals

   • TAAFT primarily monetizes via paid tool submissions and sponsorships, so expect to pay a one-time fee to get listed or featured.
   • Make sure your product has a clear path to revenue (paid plans, upsells or leads) so you can justify the spend.

2. Prepare your tool assets

   • Finalize your product name, short tagline and detailed description focused on the problems you solve.
   • Collect your logo, hero image, screenshots, and the main URL you want traffic to hit (landing page, signup, or homepage).
   • Clarify your pricing model (free, freemium, paid) and key use cases.

3. Go to the submission page

   • Use the official “Submit your AI tool” / “Get featured” link from their site or social profiles.
   • Choose the appropriate submission or featured option based on your budget and how much visibility you want (site listing, newsletter feature, or both).

4. Fill out the submission form

   • Enter your tool’s name, URL, category/use cases, short and long descriptions and any key tags (e.g., “marketing”, “productivity”, “agents”, “video”, “developer tools”).
   • Provide your contact details so their team can follow up if they need clarifications.
   • Confirm payment details and agree to any terms around content, refunds and timelines.

5. Confirm listing details and timing

   • After payment, you’ll typically receive confirmation that your submission is in review.
   • In many cases, founders report their listing going live within a few days, with some packages including a guaranteed newsletter or homepage feature window.

6. Monitor performance once live

   • Once your tool appears in search and category pages, track traffic and signups coming from TAAFT using UTM parameters.
   • Watch how your listing is positioned (tags, categories, screenshots) and request small tweaks if something important is missing or inaccurate.

7. Consider follow-on promotion

   • If your initial results are strong, look into additional sponsorships (e.g., newsletter features or banner placements) to double down.
   • Combine this with other AI directories so TAAFT becomes part of a broader discovery and backlink strategy rather than your only channel.

Tips for Success

• Lead with outcomes, not just features
  • Because users often type in tasks like “edit videos faster” or “summarize legal documents”, write your descriptions from the perspective of jobs-to-be-done rather than internal feature names.
• Optimize your listing for skim-readers
  • Use a sharp tagline, a clean logo and a compelling first sentence – people browsing hundreds of AI tools will decide in seconds whether to click through.
• Tag yourself into the right use cases
  • Choose categories and keywords that match how founders, marketers or developers actually search (e.g., “cold email AI”, “podcast editing”, “spreadsheet copilot”) so the search engine surfaces you in relevant results.
• Pair your listing with a strong landing page
  • Make sure visitors from TAAFT arrive on a page with a clear promise, demo or CTA; traffic alone doesn’t help if the page doesn’t convert.
• Treat it as one pillar of an AI directory strategy
  • TAAFT has big reach but is just one directory; combine it with placements on Futurepedia, Easy With AI, Submit AI Tool and others to diversify traffic and test which audiences convert best for your product.
