EarlyHunt
Same Hunt weekly machine, labeled for AI tools. Useful if your buyer is an early-adopter who already lives in AI Twitter — not if you sell payroll software.
EarlyHunt runs Monday 8:00am UTC weekly competitions with seven days of homepage time, voting, Hall of Fame badges, and the Hunt-network pricing trio (free with badge, free nofollow, ~$19 Premium dofollow). Copy and hunters are pitched at AI products and “what’s next” early adopters.

FutureTools is one of the better-known AI directories after TAAFT. Submission is a form plus wait. Ranking inside a category is the prize, not ‘getting listed.’
Matt Wolfe’s FutureTools catalog is a filter on the AI-tool firehose. Getting in is not automatic. Once in, you sit next to fifty other ‘AI for X’ products. Category rank and a real demo matter more than the badge.
