What you actually get
A page at /ai/<slug> in a directory framed around trending and newly released AI tools, with your icon, a screenshot, a 150-character summary and a 1,500-character overview. It shares its codebase and its fifty-odd categories with weliketools.com and appalist.com, so a listing here reads the same as one there and needs its own separate badge.

How to submit to AI Tech Viral

1
Sign in
/submit is a sign-in card. Log in with Google is the only visible provider; the account is created by that click.
2
Give the homepage
Step 1 of three takes one URL and warns it must be the product homepage, because that is where their crawler looks.
3
Take the badge
Generate Badge reserves aitechviral.com/ai/<slug> and prints light and dark snippets that must link to it with a followed link.
4
Verify, then write the listing
Verify Badge unlocks step 3: name capped at 40, a 150-character summary, a 1,500-character overview, an icon, a screenshot, a pricing radio and category checkboxes.

Gotchas

Nothing about the product can be entered until the badge is verified, so a first visit always ends at step 2.
The badge has to point at your reserved /ai/<slug> URL, which only exists once Generate Badge has run.
It is the same operator and codebase as weliketools.com and appalist.com. Listing on more than one means carrying a separate badge for each, for listings that read identically.
