Review Methodology
Methodology last reviewed: July 29, 2026
Add AI Directory editorially reviews each listing to help readers understand what a tool does, who it is for, and the terms under which it is offered. A listing is not an endorsement, ranking guarantee, or promise that a tool will fit every use case.
Review criteria
Our review checks the listing for:
- Accuracy of the tool's name, purpose, core features, and intended users.
- Clarity around pricing, free access, trials, and important usage limits.
- Evidence that the product and its official website are active and accessible.
- Consistency between stated capabilities and the available supporting sources.
- Potentially misleading, unsafe, duplicated, or purely promotional claims.
Sources
We prioritize first-party sources, including official product websites, documentation, pricing pages, release notes, help centers, and public statements from the provider. We may use reputable third-party reporting or user feedback for additional context. Provider submissions can inform a listing, but we edit and verify them before publication where possible.
Testing status
Editorial review does not always include hands-on product testing. We only describe a tool as tested when an editor has directly used the relevant feature or workflow. Otherwise, the listing is a source-based editorial assessment. Access restrictions, paid plans, waitlists, geography, and account requirements can limit testing.
Last-reviewed dates
When a listing displays a “Last reviewed” date, it records the most recent substantive editorial check under this methodology. It is not an automatic website crawl date or merely the date a page was reformatted. Listings without a visible date have still received an editorial review, but their historical review date has not yet been added to our publishing system. AI products change quickly, so readers should confirm time-sensitive details such as pricing and availability on the provider's website.
Corrections and updates
If you find an error or a material change, email info@addaidirectory.com. Include the listing URL, the information you believe is incorrect, and a reliable supporting source. We review correction requests editorially and update the listing and its last-reviewed date when a substantive correction is verified.
Commercial relationships
Some outbound links may be affiliate links. Commercial relationships do not determine whether a listing passes editorial review or change the criteria above.
