AI tools
What you actually get
A listing page at /tools/<slug> with your tagline, a description and a Visit Website button linking straight to your domain with no rel attribute. The free tier also promises an X mention and a newsletter mention, and the listing is stated to be for life.

How to submit to Human or Not

  1. Open the submit page
    /submit-tool carries the whole thing. No account, no login, no captcha, and the free tier is the only tier on the page.
  2. Fill two fields
    An email address and your URL. That is the entire form: they take the copy off your site rather than asking you for it, so the listing you get is written from whatever your page says.
  3. Submit and read the panel
    The form posts to Webflow's form API and is replaced by "Thank you! Your submission has been received!" plus a line saying you will be notified by email once the tool is published.
  4. Wait 48 hours
    The page states publication within 48 hours, and that the free listing is for life and carries an X mention and a newsletter mention.

Gotchas

You do not write your own listing: the form takes only an email and a URL, so the tagline and description are lifted from your page and you have no say in the wording.
The page states outright that tools without AI features will not be published, and there is no refund of the wait: you find out by nothing appearing.
Some cards elsewhere on the site carry affiliate parameters on their outbound links, so check what your own listing links to once it is live.
