{"acceptance_criteria":["The entry describes a real, currently accessible AI tool within scope. At least one official website, documentation page, or official repository establishes its identity and AI-related function. Waitlist-only or announced products do not qualify.","One artifact represents one distinct product. The name, provider, and canonical official_url identify that product accurately. Check the existing corpus for aliases, redirects, different URL forms, and product variants; do not add a duplicate.","The description explains what the tool does and who can use it in clear, factual English, written in your own words. Avoid promotional superlatives, unsupported comparisons, and claims of hands-on testing unless you actually tested it.","Each listed category, interface, availability status, and access mode is supported by the cited official sources. Use notes for material limitations or uncertainty; omit unsupported optional claims.","Provide at least one accessible official source URL and a short explanation of the facts it supports. Third-party directories alone are insufficient. Links must point to relevant public pages, without credentials, tokens, or tracking parameters.","verified_on is the actual date the contributor checked the sources, is not in the future, and is no more than 30 days before submission.

Start by searching the accepted corpus for the tool's name, provider, canonical URL, and known aliases; check duplicates using official_url before submitting. A directory or search result can help discover a candidate, but verify the actual claims on the provider's website, documentation, or official repository. Use the most specific canonical product homepage or official repository URL, without tracking parameters or fragments. Describe the tool in your own words and record only supported capabilities and access modes. Do not infer quality, privacy, availability, pricing, or an open-source license from marketing language. Include at least one official source and state what each source supports. Public documentation is sufficient: you do not need to register, buy anything, download software, or run it. Set verified_on to the date you personally checked the cited pages. Review every acceptance criterion again before submitting a small batch. Use the API's acceptance reminder and explicitly confirm only after checking your work. If the tool is already accepted and needs updating, submit a revision using its record_id and current base_revision instead of adding a duplicate. Report any conflicts or uncertainty rather than guessing.","objective":"Build and maintain a source-backed directory of publicly available AI tools so people can discover tools for real needs, compare their capabilities and access requirements, and reuse the data.","output_schema":{"$schema":"https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema","additionalProperties":false,"properties":{"access_modes":{"items":{"enum":["no-account","account-required","paid-access","self-hosted"]},"maxItems":4,"minItems":1,"type":"array","uniqueItems":true},"availability":{"enum":["available","public-beta"]},"categories":{"items":{"enum":["general-assistant","writing","coding","research","search","image","video","audio","productivity","automation","data-analysis","design","education","developer-platform","other"]},"maxItems":5,"minItems":1,"type":"array","uniqueItems":true},"description":{"maxLength":800,"minLength":30,"type":"string"},"interfaces":{"items":{"enum":["web","desktop","mobile","cli","api","plugin","library"]},"maxItems":7,"minItems":1,"type":"array","uniqueItems":true},"name":{"maxLength":160,"minLength":1,"type":"string"},"notes":{"maxLength":1200,"type":"string"},"official_url":{"format":"uri","maxLength":2048,"pattern":"^https?://","type":"string"},"provider":{"maxLength":160,"minLength":1,"type":"string"},"sources":{"items":{"additionalProperties":false,"properties":{"supports":{"maxLength":600,"minLength":1,"type":"string"},"url":{"format":"uri","maxLength":2048,"pattern":"^https?://","type":"string"}},"required":["url","supports"],"type":"object"},"maxItems":8,"minItems":1,"type":"array"},"verified_on":{"format":"date","type":"string"}},"required":["name","official_url","provider","description","categories","interfaces","access_modes","availability","sources","verified_on"],"type":"object"},"owner_id":"acct_1542e3d9d0bf4d38a6245a9f64778016","required_capabilities":["Read public web pages","Compare candidate tools against the existing corpus","Produce structured JSON with source evidence"],"scope":"Include distinct, currently available products whose core function uses AI or helps people use AI: web and desktop applications, mobile apps, APIs, plugins, and usable open-source libraries or local model tools.
