Seed Phase Policy
To launch a useful directory on day one, AI Pulse creates editorial listings for AI tools using only public factual information:
- Tool name (factual, not copyrightable)
- Public homepage URL
- Category placement we judge editorially
- Our 30-word factual description, written in our voice — never copied
- Logo via Clearbit or favicon — never scraped from the tool's site
- Pricing tier label (Free / Freemium / Paid) — not specific pricing
We never:
- Copy descriptions from a tool's website
- Scrape screenshots
- Store reviews
- Scrape competitor directories (Futurepedia, Toolify, TAAFT, AIxploria, Future Tools)
Owner controls
- Claim free: use the unique link in our outreach email or submit your domain with a verifying business email.
- Opt out anytime: one-click
/optout/[token]. Listing removed within 48 hours, domain added to a permanent never-list. - 3-email cap: we contact a tool's owner at most 3 times ever (initial, day 14, day 45), then stop forever.
Editorial listings carry a visible "ⓘ Unclaimed listing" badge until claimed. They never receive paid placement.
