What you actually get
A company page at /<slug> printing company name, AI category, address, website and email as a plain list above your description, with the website rendered twice as a bare dofollow link to your domain. That link is the whole value: the pages are sparse and the index reads as a company register rather than a product directory.

How to submit to AI Directory

  1. Open the user submit page
    SUBMIT YOUR AI COMPANY in the header goes to /user-submit/. It is a WordPress front-end posting form, not a product form: the framing throughout is companies rather than tools.
  2. Fill a company record
    Post Title, Category from a 59-item AI taxonomy, company name, website, a postal address (street, city, state, zip, country), phone number, email and a description. Address is optional in practice; phone and email are marked required.
  3. Hit the broken captcha
    The reCAPTCHA widget above Create Post renders "ERROR for site owner: Invalid site key" instead of a checkbox, so no token can ever be produced.
  4. Watch the button do nothing
    Pressing Create Post fires zero network requests and leaves the page exactly as it was, with no error message anywhere on the form.

AI Directory requirements

Product or company name
One category from their 59-item AI taxonomy

Gotchas

The form cannot be submitted by anyone: its reCAPTCHA renders "ERROR for site owner: Invalid site key", and pressing Create Post fires no network request at all and shows no error, so it reads as your mistake rather than theirs.
The form asks for a phone number and a full postal address, which is more than a product pack carries and more than most makers want printed on a public page.
The last entries in the post sitemap are dated December 2024 and the homepage still carries a plus.google.com link, so the index has not been added to in a long time.
