Gotchas

There is one option and it is paid, so nothing on this page is free.
The site is a design and WordPress blog that added an AI section, so the audience is broader and older than an AI directory's.
They advertise their own authority in the navigation, which is a marketing claim rather than a measurement you can check from the page.

Let your agent submit to Dessign

Connect SubmitMap to your AI over MCP and this page stops being something you read and copy. Your agent asks for the Dessign playbook and gets the brief for this exact form, with the values already taken from your submission pack instead of placeholders you fill in by hand.
