Who iForAI accepts

You need

What you actually get
A card in a large Chinese AI navigation site, filed under one of about fourteen top-level shelves. The link is direct and follows: cards carry rel="noopener" with no nofollow and point at your own domain rather than through a redirect.

How to submit to iForAI

  1. Open the form
    /submit_website/ shows it without an account. There is a login link, but the fields are all reachable signed out.
  2. Fill it
    An icon, a name, the link (with a one-click autofill button beside it), an 80-character summary, a longer description, one category, tags, a nickname and a contact method.
  3. Pass the captcha
    An image captcha sits above the submit button. This is where an agent stops.

Gotchas

There is an image captcha on the submit button, so however the rest is filled, a person has to be at the keyboard for the last step.
Some of the cards carry the operator's own referral codes on the outbound link, which tells you what the listing is worth to them and is worth knowing before you judge the neighbourhood.
The paid lane is a WeChat tip rather than a checkout: they ask for a small donation with your domain in the note, and say 300 CNY and up if you want them to contact you.
Everything, including the category names and the review notice, is in Chinese. Nothing about the flow is guessable without reading it.
