Hi everyone,

I've been building [**AIEditTools.in**](http://AIEditTools.in), an AI tools directory, and I've now got **290+ tools** listed across areas like video, image, audio, writing, automation, marketing, productivity, and development.

But while building it, I've started questioning something:

**Is having a large number of AI tools actually useful?**

There are already countless websites listing AI tools. Adding another list doesn't seem particularly valuable unless it helps someone make a better decision.

So I've been trying to make the individual tool pages more useful by adding things like:

• Pricing and free-tier information
• Key features
• Pros and cons
• Use cases
• Who the tool is best suited for
• Alternatives
• FAQs
• Side-by-side comparisons

I've also built comparison pages where you can put two tools against each other and look at pricing, features, strengths, limitations and use cases in one place.

I'm still developing the site, so I'd genuinely like some feedback from people who actually use AI tools.

**What would make an AI tools directory genuinely useful to you?**

Would you care more about:

**1.** Verified free-tier limits
**2.** Honest pricing comparisons
**3.** Real user reviews
**4.** Actual testing of the tools
**5.** Better tool comparisons
**6.** Recommendations based on a specific job
**7.** Something completely different?

I'm particularly interested in what people find frustrating about existing AI tool directories.

If anyone wants to see what I'm building, it's **AIEditTools.in**.

I'm still figuring out what direction will make the directory genuinely useful, so criticism is welcome. 🙂

I've been working on AIEditTools.in, a project where I'm trying to organize useful AI tools in one place.

The project currently has 290+ AI tools across areas like automation, video, image, audio, writing, productivity, marketing, development, and more.

But while building it, I started realizing something.

There are already a huge number of AI tool directories out there.

So simply having a list of hundreds or thousands of tools isn't really that useful anymore.

The harder question is:

How do you decide which tool is actually worth using?

That's what I'm trying to improve.

For each tool, I'm working on things like:

• What the tool actually does
• Pricing and free-plan information
• Key features
• Pros and cons
• Who it's best suited for
• Use cases
• Alternatives
• FAQs
• Reviews

I've also built a side-by-side comparison system.

So instead of searching separately for two tools, you can compare them and see things like pricing, features, strengths, limitations, use cases, and which type of user each tool may be better for.

For example, you can compare two automation tools and quickly see where each one stands out.

I'm still working on the project, so I'm particularly interested in feedback from people who actually use AI tools regularly.

What information do you personally want to see before trying or paying for an AI tool?

Is it:

Pricing?
Free-plan limitations?
Real-world performance?
User reviews?
Privacy?
Alternatives?
Comparison with competing tools?

Or something I haven't thought about?

I'm trying to build this around what people actually need rather than just making another giant AI tools list.

If anyone wants to have a look, here's the project:

I'd genuinely appreciate feedback — especially criticism. If something about the directory isn't useful or could be presented better, I'd rather know that now while I'm still building it.

What would make an AI tools directory genuinely useful to you?

I'm a sound recorder and field recordist. I record real-world sounds such as birds, rain, temple bells, vehicles, household sounds, nature, and ambience.

I'm sharing one of my recordings here, and I'd really appreciate your honest feedback. Please let me know what I can improve—whether it's the recording quality, microphone technique, editing, noise reduction, or anything else.

I'm always trying to learn and become a better recordist, so any advice from experienced members of this community would mean a lot.

Thanks in advance!

I recently recorded a real temple pooja ambience in India featuring:

🐚 Shankh (conch) blowing

🔔 Temple bells

🕉️ Live mantra chanting

👥 Natural crowd ambience

I know it can be difficult to find authentic Indian temple recordings that don't sound artificial or heavily edited, so I thought I'd share this one with creators who might need it for films, documentaries, meditation projects, games or YouTube videos.

It's completely free to listen and download:

I'd also love to know:

What kind of Indian ambience recordings are hardest for you to find?

Any suggestions for future recordings?

I've been experimenting with recording everyday sounds to see how far they can be transformed.

Today I recorded the sound of brushing my teeth with my phone. After changing the pitch and doing some processing, it ended up sounding surprisingly like a train approaching, passing by, and fading into the distance.

It reminded me that interesting sound effects don't always require expensive gear or exotic locations—sometimes they come from the most ordinary things.

I'd love to hear what you think.

Have you ever created a convincing sound effect from something completely unexpected?
