About AI Tool Graph

AI Tool Graph is the factual registry layer for AI tool identity, sources, capabilities, pricing routes, evidence, and freshness.

The registry layer

AI Tool Graph is a facts-first registry for AI tools and related entities. It exists to make source-backed facts easier to inspect, maintain, and project into other product contexts without mixing those facts with editorial judgment.

The public site is shaped like a registry: source rows, pricing routes, capability fields, freshness state, and review paths are part of the core experience.

registry

Structured facts

Records are organized as canonical fields rather than long-form opinions or broad directory blurbs.

evidence

Inspectable sources

Important claims should show where the source came from and how strong the source state is.

freshness

Visible review state

Profile freshness, pricing freshness, publication state, and source review needs stay visible.

What the public registry stores

The public registry stores fields that can be reviewed against sources. It separates identity, capability, pricing, evidence, freshness, and publication state so one field does not quietly stand in for another.

Relationship and context fields stay reserved until source-backed data is ready for public pages.

identity	Tool, company, suite, platform, model, open-source project, and marketplace identities when the source material supports the distinction.
capability	Canonical categories, capabilities, input and output types, delivery modes, and supported user surfaces.
pricing	Pricing model summaries, purchase or access routes, direct plans, route owners, and checked state.
evidence	Official links, evidence source rows, source type, used-for labels, freshness, and source review state.
reserved	Modeled relationship and context fields remain scoped and unpublished until they have source-backed public coverage.

What stays outside

AI Tool Graph does not need to become a buyer-advice publication to be useful. Its job is to expose durable facts and uncertainty clearly.

No star-style labels, popularity marks, chosen-for-you labels, or subjective verdicts as registry facts.
No invented prices, source counts, verification dates, or review labels.
No affiliate-first calls to action as source evidence.
No conversion of workflow-specific or editorial context into global tool truth.

Who uses it

The public registry is useful for readers who want to inspect factual AI tool records, researchers who need a stable source trail, and downstream products that need clean facts before adding their own context.

Different products can apply their own editorial, workflow, or creative lens later. The shared registry layer should remain narrower and more durable than those lenses.

Operating principles

source

Official first

Prefer official pricing, documentation, changelog, trust, terms, and product pages for canonical claims.

separate

Keep fields distinct

Do not collapse pricing routes, delivery modes, supported platforms, capabilities, and publication state into one generic label.

honest

Show gaps

A missing, stale, or weakly sourced field is better than a confident-looking placeholder.

reviewable

Keep evidence paths open

Source-backed review is part of maintaining the public registry over time.
