Editorial methodology
Inclusion and Update Methodology
This document defines what the site's current data can and cannot answer, and how readers should use the directory information.
Inclusion Scope
We include AI products that directly support text, image, audio, video, code, or 3D creation. Concept projects, inaccessible pages, and services without a direct connection to AIGC are generally not included.
Source Priority
Official product websites, documentation, pricing pages, and release announcements are our preferred sources. Directory descriptions condense official information rather than copying marketing copy verbatim. Third-party material is used only to add background context, never to replace official facts.
Fields and Dates
Features, models, platforms, formats, and pricing models are provided for quick filtering. The “directory record date” shown on a page reflects this site's own data record; it is not the product's official release date or last-updated time. Product information may change, so verify against official sources before making decisions.
Directory Ratings
Current ratings are on-site editorial ranking signals intended to aid browsing. They are not aggregates of user reviews, and we do not emit AggregateRating structured data. The review-count field should not be treated as a reliable fact for now.
Commercial Relationships
Submitting a tool does not guarantee inclusion. Sponsored or affiliate links appear only in a block labeled as promoted, and stay out of descriptions, fit notes, scores, and machine-readable records. Commercial relationships never alter factual fields or editorial notes.
Corrections Process
A correction request should include the page URL, the incorrect field, the suggested content, and a verifiable source. Once confirmed, we update the directory data; significant errors are prioritized.
How to use this site for decisions
The directory is for discovery and first-pass filtering: narrow by medium, then match pricing, platforms, models, and workflows to your scenario. Before you buy or integrate, verify price, licensing, and regional availability against each record's official source. Workflows are adaptable editorial suggestions, not guaranteed recipes.
Machine-readable interfaces and citation
The sitemap, RSS feed, llms.txt, and open JSON endpoints expose the same directory facts as the pages. Machine interfaces omit directory scores and review counts so they are not cited as user reviews. When quoting a product fact, include the official source link.
Record dates, comparisons, and unverified prices
The directory record date only says when this site wrote the entry. It is not the date someone opened the official page and rechecked each field. A comparison page places directory fields side by side; it is not a hands-on test and does not replace an official pricing page. An unverified price is never written as a specific amount.
