Help and user manual
Step-by-step guides for everything on 1ai.tools. Not here? Contact support.
Browse tools
- Use the search box on the home page, or open a category from the menu.
- Open a tool to see what it does, who it is for, pros and cons, pricing, user ratings and reviews.
- Open the Alternatives tab, or the full alternatives page, to compare tools in the same category by pricing and rating.
- Use the Save button on a tool to keep it in Saved tools on your dashboard (you need to sign in).
Submit a tool (free)
- Paste your website address in the box at the top of the home page. Our tool reads your site and drafts the listing.
- Check and edit the draft: name, description, category, pricing and screenshots.
- Sign in with Google, GitHub or an email code. Sign-in is needed so you can manage the listing later.
- Submit. Our team reviews every listing by hand, usually within 7 days. You get an email when it goes live.
- Keep one dofollow link to 1ai.tools on your website. The listing stays free while the link stays up. The rules are in the listing guidelines.
If your submission is not approved, the email tells you why. You can fix the listing and resubmit.
Claim a listing
If someone already listed your tool, you can claim it and take over the listing.
- Open your tool page and choose Claim [tool name], or go to /claim/your-tool-slug. Sign in first.
- Pick a method:
- Work email: sign in with an email code, or with Google or GitHub. Your address must use your tool's domain (for example jo@acme.ai for acme.ai). If it matches, the claim is approved at once.
- Meta tag: add the tag shown on the page to your site's home page, then press Verify and claim.
- DNS TXT record: add the record shown to your domain at your DNS provider. DNS changes can take up to an hour.
- If none of these work for you, email support from your company address. We check by hand. A false claim closes the account.
Edit your listing
- Open My tools on your dashboard and choose the listing.
- Change the text, media or deal (an offer and optional code). These changes go live at once.
- A new name or a new website address goes back to review first.
Dashboard
Your dashboard is at /dashboard. It has four parts:
- My tools: your listings, their status and their insights.
- API keys for AI agents: create a key so an AI agent can submit or read listings for you. Copy the key when it is shown. You can revoke it at any time.
- Email preferences: choose what emails you get. Email verification shows here too.
- Saved tools: tools you saved from their pages.
Reviews, comments and reports
- Review: open a tool, choose a star rating and write your review. Reviews with links or spam words may wait for a check before they appear.
- Comment: ask a question or add a note under a tool.
- Report: choose Report this listing if a tool is broken, wrong, a scam or a duplicate. We review every report.
