How to submit to Future Tools
Open the Future Tools submission page
This is the page makers use to add a product.
Sign up if asked
We couldn’t confirm whether an account is required. Use a company email if one is needed.
Have your assets ready
Name, tagline, description, logo and screenshots. The checklist below covers what to prepare so you can fill the form in one go.
Fill in the form carefully
Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse Future Tools (AI enthusiasts and creators who follow Matt Wolfe's newsletter and videos), not for search engines.
Wait for review
A person reviews submissions, so it can take a while. Once it’s live, check the link on your listing points to the right page.
Tips for Future Tools
- Submitting is free, but Matt reviews each tool himself, so a clear one-line value proposition helps more than a long description.
- 'Visit' buttons go through an internal /go/ redirect instead of linking straight to your site, so treat this as a traffic source rather than a backlink.
- The newsletter opt-in on the form is optional and not needed to submit.
From Future Tools’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.
What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for AI tool directories.
- Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
- A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
- Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
- 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
- The exact page you want the link to point to
- Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
- The main task your AI does, in one plain sentence (e.g. “turns podcasts into short clips”)
- Your pricing tiers, and whether there is a free plan or free trial
- Which models or providers you use, if you say so publicly
- 2–3 concrete use cases, each one sentence
Is Future Tools worth it?
We couldn’t verify the link
We didn’t find a live listing we could inspect, so we don’t know whether Future Tools links are followed. Judge it on audience and effort, and check your own listing’s link once it’s live.
- Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 69 (strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- Tranco rank #195,134: a mid-sized site, inside the top 500,000.
- A person reviews submissions, so expect a wait and a real quality bar.
- Free to list, so the only cost is your time.
This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
