Eligibility
Who Next Week AI accepts
You need
An account, via Google or GitHub only
A live, working product, which is their stated bar
A pitch of 120 characters or less
You'll be rejected if
Products that are not live and working are named as refused. The harder bar is implicit: the catalogue is 79 tools across 30 categories, so being reviewed is not the same as being listed.

What you actually get
A page at /tools/<slug> in one of 30 categories, with your short pitch, a long description, a logo and up to three screenshots. The catalogue is 79 tools, so a listing here sits among a small hand-picked set rather than in a heap. The outbound anchor is rel="noopener nofollow", so no equity passes. They say every submission is reviewed within 48 hours and only live, working products are listed.
How to submit to Next Week AI
1
Sign in
/submit/ redirects to /login/. Continue with Google or Continue with GitHub are the only two routes; there is no email and password option. Their line is that the account only identifies you and they send no mail.
2
Fill one page
Tool name, website URL, one of 30 categories, a pricing model of Free, Freemium, Paid or Open Source, a short description capped at 120 characters, an optional long description, and a contact email.
3
Add images
Optional but their own note says a logo and screenshots get you approved faster. The logo is 256x256 minimum and under 2MB; up to three screenshots at 1280x800.
4
Submit for Review
The form empties. Their stated turnaround is 48 hours and the footnote is one listing per email on the free tier.

Gotchas
The link is nofollow: the outbound anchor on a listing is rel="noopener nofollow", and no tier here changes it. What you get is placement among a small set, not equity.
The catalogue is 79 tools across 30 categories after however long they have been running, so this is genuinely curated rather than a queue that empties. Budget for being turned down.
The category list is unusually specific about agent tooling: MCP Servers, MCP Clients, AI Agents, and separate entries for Claude Plugins, Codex Plugins, OpenClaw Plugins, Codex Skills and OpenClaw Skills. If your product is one of those, this is a better fit than a general AI directory.
Sign-in is Google or GitHub only. There is no email and password route, so an account you cannot reach through one of those two is no account at all.
The short description is hard capped at 120 characters with a live counter, which is a pitch rather than a paragraph. The long description is where the detail goes and it is optional.
