How it is ranked

  • Each item is judged for a founder or marketer growing a business with AI: how much it could cut the cost of a customer, lift conversion or reach, or save real time this week, whether it is new, and whether there is a real product, data or results behind it.
  • How hot it is where it was found counts too: points, stars, upvotes, views and likes, each on its own scale.
  • A find picked up in several places at once ranks higher than one seen once.
  • Today fades an item by half its lift every two days. This week ranks on quality alone.
  • Nobody pays to be listed.
