Why this site exists
I started this site after the third time someone asked me which AI tools I actually pay for. The honest answer is short — there are six. The dishonest answer would be a 50-tool listicle nobody reads to the end. This is the site that fits between those two answers.
I run a TikTok account at @getaiprofit covering the same ground from a different angle. Most of what's in the catalogue here started as something I tested for a video, kept using because it worked, and then dug into when I had time. The site is the long-form receipt for that.
I'd rather list six tools I actually pay for than fifty I once opened.
What this site is
A working catalogue of AI tools and digital earning offers, vetted by the 7-filter methodology. Every entry is a tool I'd recommend to a friend, with the caveat that "friend" here means someone trying to ship — not someone shopping for the next big thing.
What this site isn't
It isn't a "best of 2026" listicle. It isn't a curated set of the most popular tools. It's intentionally narrow — the catalogue tops out around 50 tools and that's the goal, not a constraint. If a category has six tools listed, that's because the other thirty I looked at didn't survive the cut.
It also isn't a guru blog. There are no "5 lessons from my $10K month" posts. The longer-form pieces in the field notes are written when I have something concrete to say, not on a content calendar.
How I make money from this
Most CTAs route through /go/{slug} as affiliate links — the full breakdown is in the disclosure. Affiliate income covers hosting, the email list, and the time spent re-vetting the catalogue every quarter. It doesn't change which tools land here; the methodology does.
What I'd love to hear from you
Tool suggestions for the catalogue. Factual corrections on anything I've written. Partnership inquiries from vendors whose product would survive the seven filters. The fastest line is email or a TikTok DM.
