Futurepedia
Smaller than TAAFT, more editorial. Newsletter is the upside. Still a directory, still not a hunt.
Futurepedia lists AI tools with a tighter editorial filter than the giant catalogs and pushes many of them through an email list. Getting in is a listing plus a chance at subscribers who actually asked for AI tools.
