MISSION.BRIEF
Why this site exists, how we pick tools, and how to put a new one on the map.
What This Site Is
There are thousands of AI tools, and most directories just dump them all in a giant list. HowToUseMyAI is different: we keep a hand-picked catalog of 165 tools that actually work, and for each one we explain what it is best at, what it costs, and exactly how to get started in three steps. Describe what you want to do, and we match you with the right tool.
How We Pick Tools
Every tool in the directory is reviewed before it goes live. We look for tools that are actively maintained, have a real free tier or transparent pricing, and solve a problem better than the alternatives in their category. We remove tools that shut down, get abandoned, or fall behind. Listings are not paid placements: nobody can buy a spot in the directory or in our Editor's Picks.
