About AI Dust
We built AI Dust because finding a trustworthy AI tool shouldn’t mean wading through fifty affiliate blogs and pay-to-rank directories.
Why we started AI Dust
The AI tools market moves faster than anyone can track by hand \u2014 new launches every week, half of them abandoned within a year. We started AI Dust to be the place you check first: every listing is reviewed by a real person, categorized properly, and kept current instead of frozen the day it was submitted.
We’re not a pay-to-rank directory. Featured placements are labeled as exactly that, and the rest of the ranking is driven by real usage and community upvotes \u2014 not who paid the most. If a tool goes offline or stops being useful, it comes down.
The principles behind every listing
A handful of rules we don’t bend, no matter how many submissions come in.
Vetted, not paid
Every submission is reviewed by a real person within 48 hours. Rank is earned through usage, not invoice size.
Kept current
Dead links and abandoned tools get pulled. A directory is only useful if you can trust what’s still in it.
Built for builders
We list tools as working software, not marketing copy \u2014 clear pricing, real platforms, no vague feature lists.
The people behind AI Dust
Small team, real people \u2014 say hello on LinkedIn.
