Notes on finding, listing and ranking AI products.

Hotaibuild is a directory of AI products with an openly paid ranking. That combination only works if the rules are legible, so these guides explain them in plain language: how a free listing is reviewed, what a boost actually buys, which views on the homepage are unaffected by payment, and how the open-source index is assembled. They also cover the practical work of choosing a tool, because a directory is a starting point for evaluation, not a substitute for it.

Every guide here is free to read and independent of paid placement. Buying a boost never buys a mention in an article, an Editor's pick, a change to the Trending or Just added order, or a favourable comparison. Where we describe our own product we try to describe its limits as plainly as its features; where we compare with another service we describe what that service does well. If a guide is wrong or out of date, email hello@hotaibuild.com and we will correct it.
