There's An AI For That: Tasks, Fields and What It Returns

There's An AI For That Submission Guide: What to Prepare First

There's An AI For That is one of the highest-traffic AI directories, organised around tasks rather than categories. Traffic is real; the link situation needs checking rather than assuming.

The short answer

Treat There's An AI For That as one row in a list, not a strategy. It costs ten minutes, produces a listing that persists, and may or may not leave a followed link behind — which is why the check afterwards matters more than the submission.

What There's An AI For That is

There's An AI For That is a task-based AI directory: users search for what they want to accomplish and browse tools that claim to do it, with thousands of listings and a submission process.

What it is good for

Task pages carry search intent that category pages never will, because they name the job rather than the shelf. The traffic is small, specific, and already convinced it needs something.

Before you touch the form

Match the directory's own task phrasing. If their taxonomy says 'summarise PDF', do not submit under 'document intelligence' — you will be invisible.

Submitting, in order

  1. Find the exact task label in their taxonomy
  2. Write the description using that phrase
  3. Check whether the link routes through a redirect
  4. Submit under the task, not the industry
  5. Measure referral traffic for a month

One thing that catches people out

Filing under the wrong task is the usual mistake, and the form will not warn you: the task you pick decides which page your card inherits, so a vague match produces a listing that exists everywhere and ranks nowhere.

Checking what you actually got

  • Search your own task phrase and see where the card lands, not just whether it exists
  • Confirm the task page you were filed under still ranks for that phrase
  • Check whether the outbound link goes to the product or to a profile shell
  • Read the listing on mobile, where the cards stack and most visitors arrive
  • Re-check the task page in a quarter; catalogues reshuffle categories quietly

Where it fits in a launch plan

Put it after the directories where you control the category. Task-based catalogues decide placement for you, so an hour spent on a directory you can position inside is normally the better first move.

Why the task you pick matters more than the description

This catalogue is organised by what a person wants to accomplish, and its pages rank for those task phrases. Your listing inherits the visibility of the task page it sits on, which means a task with search demand and twenty competitors is worth more than a category with excellent copy and no traffic. Look at the task list before you write anything.

What to do when your product fits several tasks

Pick one as the primary and accept that the others are secondary. Submitting the same product to five unrelated tasks reads as spam and dilutes the association the page is trying to build; a single, precise match is what gets clicked.

How the internal search works

Visitors usually type a task rather than browse a tree, and the results are ordered by relevance to that phrase. The practical consequence is that your description should contain the words someone would actually type, in the order they would type them, rather than the industry vocabulary your website uses.

What a rejected task submission means

Usually that the task already has enough coverage or the product does not clearly perform it. Neither is worth arguing about: pick a second task where the fit is obvious, submit once, and move on. Resubmitting the same task with different wording tends to produce the same outcome.

Where SaasHunt fits

Task catalogues are how people find a tool for a job they already have; SaasHunt is how they find a tool they did not know existed. A dated launch at 08:00 UTC, ranked daily and weekly, with a dofollow link on approval.

FAQ

Is the link followed?

Check a live listing and read the rel attribute. Large directories often route outbound links through redirects.

Is it worth paying for placement here?

Only if the task page receives real traffic. Test the free listing, measure referrals, and pay only for categories with evidence behind them.

How long does approval take?

It varies with volume and is never promised. Submit once the product page is ready rather than once the launch date is fixed, and treat the queue as the schedule.
