What you actually get
A listing in a directory that positions itself as an operating system for AI builders, keeping tech news and events alongside the product shelf. The submission is the shortest in this whole queue: a single field for the product link, capped at 500 characters, and a Get started button. Everything else is presumably taken from the page. Link value is unverified.
How to submit to AINave
1
Open the form
/submit redirects to /submit/products, which renders one field.
2
Paste the link
Link to the product, capped at 500 characters, then Get started.
3
Read the guidelines
The form points at submission guidelines rather than restating them.

Gotchas
The whole submission is one URL, so the listing is written from whatever your page says rather than from copy you control.
The form points at separate submission guidelines instead of stating the rules, so the conditions are one click away from where you agree to them.
No review time is published, and a one-field submission gives nothing to check afterwards.
