What is Futurepedia?
Futurepedia is a categorised directory of AI tools, now presented as an AI workspace with toolkits, workflows and courses for people using AI at work.
Who it suits
People and teams learning which AI tools to use, and AI tool makers hoping to be found there.
What Futurepedia does well
- A large categorised directory of AI tools.
- Learning content and workflows.
- A focus on people using AI at work.
Where The Launch Directory is different
We could not find a public submission page on Futurepedia when we checked. On The Launch Directory the way in is published: a free listing through the free queue, or a paid launch at $5.
The Launch Directory lists any product, AI or not, on a dated page with founders, screenshots and a link to your website.
For an AI product, the free AI answer check shows whether AI assistants name you when buyers ask.
What a launch on The Launch Directory includes
Whatever you decide about the platform above, this is what a listing here comes with.
- A paid launch at $5
- It goes live straight away or in the week you choose, with a followed link to your website and every profile section open: the founder story, milestones and demo video.
- A free way in
- With our badge on your website and your founder profile complete, a free listing joins the free queue and goes live in its week, 1-2 weeks out. Its link to you is not followed; screenshots and comparisons are shown all the same.
- A launch receipt for every listing
- Each live listing carries a dated record of what we measured after launch: Domain Rating by Ahrefs then and now, referring domains, AI mentions where we measure them, and the visits we sent you. It is updated daily, and nothing in it is estimated.
- A free AI answer check
- Every listed business can run one free check of what ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity answer when a buyer asks about its category: whether you are named, where, and which sources they cite.
- Votes that cannot be bought
- One person, one vote. Featured places, sponsors and the Billboard are labelled as paid and never add a vote to anything.
- Our Domain Rating, in public
- Our own Ahrefs Domain Rating is printed on the pricing page, so you can judge the link before you pay for it.
- Pay without signing up first
- Your account is created at checkout. Pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal or crypto; prices are in US dollars, VAT is added only where due, and invoices come from Zinn Digital® Ltd.
- Product of the Week
- The three listings with the most community votes each week win #1, #2 and #3 Product of the Week, with a badge for the listing and a page to share.
- Founders by name
- Every founder gets a profile page linked to their companies, and a paid listing can carry the founder story behind the product.
- Domain records on every listing
- Listings show the company domain's public registration record, and the free domain age checker looks up any domain.
When Futurepedia is the better choice
If your tool fits its categories and you can get in, being found by Futurepedia's readers who are learning AI is valuable.
