A listing in a directory whose whole pitch is newly released AI tools, which is a better fit for something days old than for a mature product.

Gotchas
The directory is pitched at newly released tools, so a product that launched a year ago is competing against the site's own framing.
The submit path redirects to a login, so the form cannot be read before making an account.
No review time is published, so nothing can be chased afterwards.
