Building an AI tools directory. Does anyone actually want this?
I've been using AI tools directories for a while, and honestly, they're all kind of a mess.
Static lists with no reviews. Ugly UI. No way to tell if a tool is actually good or just paid to be there. No filters for what you actually need, like "I'm a student" or "I'm a freelancer." Just endless scrolling through irrelevant stuff.
So I started building one myself. Cleaner UI, community-driven, upvotes and reviews so you actually know what works. Filters by role and category so you find the right tool faster. Plus a daily featured tool. Free forever for users.
Before I go further, I genuinely want to know:
Do you actually use these directories, or do you just Google it every time?
What frustrated you the most about the existing ones?
Would a cleaner, more community-driven version make you actually use it?
If you're curious, the platform is called FutureStack (usefuturestack.com), but more than anything, I'd love your honest feedback and to know which AI tools you'd want to see on there that never make it onto the usual sponsored lists.
Drop your thoughts below. Even if it's "this already exists, and you're wasting your time," I want to hear it.
