What you actually get
A listing page in eight languages, each marked up for ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overview, and no link equity: every submitted listing's outbound link is rel="sponsored nofollow" by their own policy, which they argue is what Google requires of a link you did not earn. This is an AI-citation play and a discovery play, not a backlink. Their own pitch is that AI engines quote text rather than rel attributes.
How to submit to Stork.AI
1
Paste one URL
Step 1 is a single field taking a site, a GitHub repo or an npm package. Their pipeline then scrapes the product, writes the copy, picks a logo and a hero and builds the listing in eight languages, which takes a couple of minutes.
2
Sign in to go further
The preview stops at a Google sign-in wall before it will publish. Google is the only provider offered. No account is needed to start the scrape, only to finish.
3
Review what their scraper wrote
Step 2 hands back a generated listing to edit, with a live preview of the card and the full page. The description, the tag list, the category verb and both images are its guesses until you change them.
4
Take the badge lane
Two cards at the bottom of the same step: publish free with their badge, or pay $49 and add nothing to your site. The paid lane also throws in an AI-visibility report, so the listings are not quite identical.
5
Verify the badge
Publish their snippet, then click verify and waive. The checker reads your homepage's initial HTML and answers in seconds; the listing is live immediately and goes to search engines once the badge has been up 72 hours.

Gotchas
The link you get back is rel="sponsored nofollow", and the badge you put up is nofollow too, so the trade passes no equity in either direction. They state this plainly, but only on their directory-comparison page: the submit flow and the badge page never mention it.
Their checker only reads the initial HTML, so a badge mounted by client-side JavaScript fails verification on a site that looks correct in a browser.
The waiver is re-checked at 24 hours, 72 hours and weekly after that; take the badge down and you get one grace week, then the listing is pulled from the site and from search until it returns.
Their scraper writes the listing before you see it, so the description, tags and logo are its guesses until you edit them at step 2.
