How to Submit Your AI Agent to Best AI Agents, and Where to Put Your Link
Best AI Agents is a free directory of AI agents run by John Rush, and the listings are unusually bare in the way that matters: all 168 of them carry a followed link to the product, with no rel attribute on any one. No account and no fee: their own FAQ says the directory is free to use. The submission is six fields on the homepage and five of them are required.
One detail decides whether your listing is worth having, and it is the reason this guide exists: the form has no URL field. Every published listing links out, so the address has to travel in the only free text box you are given.
Source Type, Category, Title, Description, Email, Twitter Handle. That is the whole form, and none of those is a website box. Since all 168 published listings carry a link, open your description with the bare address on its own line and write the pitch underneath it. It costs you nothing and it removes the one thing that could leave your entry as a paragraph with no way out to you.

Per bestaiagents.org, its robots.txt, its sitemap and every agent page in it, read on 20 August 2026. Domain Rating is Ahrefs' figure via submitator.com/domain-rating-checker; no second provider was queried. No listing was filed for this write-up and no payment was made; the six fields are read from the served form markup and from screenshots of it. robots.txt allows crawling of pages and disallows /.well-known/ plus a list of file extensions. The sitemap holds 320 URLs: 168 under /agents/, 107 under /blog/, 32 under /tool/, 10 under /course/ and three hub pages. All 168 agent pages were fetched: each carries exactly one outbound anchor to the product, none of the 168 carries a rel attribute of any kind, all 168 are their own canonical, none carries a robots meta and all 168 carry a meta description, the shortest 60 characters and the longest 863. Those 168 anchors point at 110 distinct hosts, of which 103 appear once; github.com is the most common at 53. The form sits on the homepage rather than at its own URL, reached from a Submit AI Agent link in the navigation, and posts to api.unicornplatform.com/api/v1/websites/send_to_google_sheet, which is the Unicorn Platform integration that writes a submission into a Google Sheet. Its fields are source_type and category as required selects, title and description and email as required, plus twitter_handle as the only optional one; the submit button reads Submit AI Agent and the form's own success message reads 'Our team will contact you soon!'. Source Type offers Open Source and Closed Source; Category offers Marketing, Coding, Operation and Other. The free-to-use wording and the scope description are quoted from the homepage, which also carries 'Made by @johnrushx'; the site runs on Unicorn Platform, whose own homepage carries 'Led by \u2192 @johnrushx' and lists John Rush alongside MarsX, DevHunt, SeoBOT, allGPTs and IndexRusher, and its footer links devhunt.org, seobotai.com, allgpts.co, listingbott.com, cofondr.com and indexrusher.com. No review time is published anywhere on the site, so none is quoted here. Submitator submits here as part of its catalog: $29 for 30 directories, $49 for 60 and $79 for 100, one-time, chosen by you in the dashboard with DR shown, a live link per completed listing, rejections credited back as +1 directory and a 30-day refund policy on the conditions in our terms.
How to submit to Best AI Agents, step by step
- 1
Open the form on the homepage
There is no separate submission URL: /submit, /submit-ai-agent, /add-agent and /list-your-agent all return 404. The Submit AI Agent link in the navigation drops you to an anchor on the homepage, /#header-29-755201, where the form sits, so bookmark the homepage rather than hunting for a submit page that does not exist.
- 2
Pick Open Source or Closed Source honestly
The first dropdown offers exactly those two and it is a required field. This is not a throwaway: the answer is printed on your listing card alongside the category tag, and the open source side of this catalog is real, with 53 of the 168 listings pointing at a github.com repository. If you are a repo, say so and link the repo.
- 3
Choose from four categories
Marketing, Coding, Operation or Other, and that is the entire list. Four buckets will not fit every agent cleanly, so pick the closest and let the description do the work. Other is a legitimate choice here rather than a dead end, since the directory describes its own scope as marketing, coding, operation and other tasks.
- 4
Write a title that reads like a product name
The field is plain text with the placeholder Enter the title, and the published listings use short product names: SEObot, v0, Replit, Bolt.New. Published listings run on short product names, so give the field the name you use everywhere else rather than a sentence.
- 5
Lead the description with your URL, then sell
This is the step that matters. There is no URL field anywhere in the form, so the first line of the description is where your address goes. Underneath it, write the detailed description the placeholder asks for: the published listings run from 60 to 863 characters of meta description, so a few sentences of what the agent does and who it is for is the right length.
- 6
Add your email, and your Twitter if you have one
Email is required and Twitter Handle is the only optional field on the form. The form posts into a Google Sheet through the Unicorn Platform integration, and its own success message reads "Our team will contact you soon!", so give an address you read. No review time is published anywhere on the site.
What the link is
The markup is bare, and it is bare on every page. Every one of the 168 agent pages carries a single anchor out to the product, and not one of them carries a rel attribute at all, so nofollow, sponsored and ugc are absent from the catalog entirely. There is no redirect through their own domain and no tracking parameter bolted onto the destination.
The pages around that link are set up sensibly too. All 168 are their own canonical, none carries a robots meta, and every one has a real meta description rather than an empty tag. What a search engine does with any of that is its own business, but the markup is the markup.
The catalog you would be joining
168 agents, plus 32 tools and 10 courses, inside a sitemap of 320 URLs. The 168 listings point at 110 distinct hosts and 103 of those appear exactly once, so this is mostly one listing per product rather than the same handful of names recycled.
The open source contingent is the striking part: 53 of the 168 listings point at a github.com repository, which is why the form asks you to declare Open Source or Closed Source before anything else. The names on the shelf are the ones you would expect, from AutoGPT, BabyAGI and CrewAI through v0, Replit and Bolt.New.
Who runs it
John Rush, on the record and on the homepage, which describes the directory as "Made by @johnrushx". It runs on Unicorn Platform, his own website builder, and the footer links a row of his other properties including devhunt.org, seobotai.com, allgpts.co and indexrusher.com.
That also explains the plumbing. The form posts to the Unicorn Platform integration that writes each submission into a Google Sheet, which is why the email field is the one that matters on the way in.
We already know the URL goes in the description.
No URL field, four categories and a required source type. Knowing that in advance is the difference between a listing that links to you and one that does not, and we bring it to all thirty.
Best AI Agents review: is a listing worth it?
Yes, and it is a quick one. Free, no account, six fields with five required and a listing whose link carries no rel attribute at all on a directory that has 168 of them. If you build an agent, this is squarely the right shelf for it, and Open Source counts here rather than being an awkward fit.
At DR 11 the domain is a small one, so take the listing for what the markup shows: a single outbound link with no rel attribute on a specialist directory. The thing to get right is not the form, which is five required fields, but the description, because that is the only place your link can go.
No URL field. Use the description.
Free, no account, six fields on the homepage with five required. Source Type is Open or Closed Source, Category is one of four. Every one of the 168 listings carries a followed link with no rel attribute, so lead your description with the bare address. The whole catalog.
FAQ
Is Best AI Agents free to submit to?
Yes, and they say so in their own FAQ: "Is there a cost to use the directory? No, our directory is free to use. We believe in making AI accessible to all businesses." There is no paid tier on the submission, no account to create and nothing to pay for placement.
Does a Best AI Agents listing link to your site?
Yes, and plainly. Across all 168 agent pages, every one carries exactly one outbound link to the product, and not one of the 168 carries a rel attribute of any kind, so there is no nofollow, no sponsored and no ugc anywhere in the catalog. All 168 pages are their own canonical and none carries a robots meta.
Where do you put your URL in the Best AI Agents form?
In the description, because there is nowhere else. The form has six fields, Source Type, Category, Title, Description, Email and Twitter Handle, and none of them is a website or URL box. Every published listing has a link, so the address has to reach them through the only free text field you get. Put it on its own line at the top of the description before you write anything else.
What does the Best AI Agents submission form ask for?
Six fields and five of them are required. Source Type is a dropdown of Open Source and Closed Source. Category is a dropdown of Marketing, Coding, Operation and Other. Title and Description are free text, Email is required and Twitter Handle is the one optional field. The button reads Submit AI Agent.
What categories does Best AI Agents offer?
Four in the form: Marketing, Coding, Operation and Other. Four is the whole list, so if your agent is not squarely a marketing or coding tool, pick the closest of them and let the description carry the detail. The directory itself describes its scope as agents "for marketing, coding, operation and other tasks. Both, paid and open source AI agents."
Should you pick Open Source or Closed Source?
Whichever you are, and the answer is printed on your listing card alongside the category tag. The open source side of this catalog is real: 53 of the 168 listings point at a github.com repository rather than a product site, so a repo link is a normal thing to submit here rather than an exception.
How long does Best AI Agents take to review a submission?
No turnaround is published anywhere on the site, so anyone quoting you a number for this one is guessing. What the form does tell you is what happens at the moment you press the button: it posts into a Google Sheet through the Unicorn Platform integration and answers with "Our team will contact you soon!". File it, give an address you read and get on with the rest of your list.
How big is the Best AI Agents directory?
168 agent pages, alongside 32 tool pages and 10 course pages, for 320 URLs in the sitemap once the blog is counted. Those 168 listings point at 110 distinct hosts, and 103 of those hosts appear exactly once, so the catalog is mostly one listing per product rather than the same names repeated.
Who runs Best AI Agents?
John Rush, and the site says so on the homepage: the directory is described as "Made by @johnrushx". It is built on Unicorn Platform, his own website builder, and the footer links a row of his other properties including devhunt.org, seobotai.com, allgpts.co and indexrusher.com.
Does Submitator submit to Best AI Agents?
Yes, it is on our list. This is one where the detail matters more than the effort: five required fields, four categories to choose from and a description that has to carry the link because the form gives it no field of its own. One payment, not a subscription: $29 for 30 directories, $49 for 60 and $79 for 100, with every DR shown before you choose. A rejection comes back as +1 directory, and there is a 30-day refund policy on the conditions in our terms.
More submit-to guides.
Thirty directories, none of them guessed at.
$29 covers thirty on one payment, picked by you from a rated list with the DR beside each. We already know which ones hide the URL field and which ones want a repo.
