About PickMyAI

The story behind the site and the founder's mission

😤 The Problem I'm Solving

I was tired of "Top 10 Best AI Tools" lists written by ChatGPT or people who never actually used the software. Every directory felt the same: hundreds of tools, generic descriptions, and no real guidance on which one to pick.

As a solo technical founder, I needed honest reviews from someone who actually tested the tools and understood the trade-offs. That's why I built PickMyAI.

💬 A Note from the Founder

"I built PickMyAI because I was tired of 'Top 10 Best AI Tools' lists written by ChatGPT or people who never actually used the software."

Here is my promise: I personally test every tool on this site. If a tool is buggy, expensive, or useless for a solo founder, I don't list it. I don't accept payment for rankings and I use ZERO affiliate links.

— The Founder, PickMyAI

🎯 The Mission

PickMyAI exists to help solo founders and small teams cut through the AI hype and find tools that actually solve their problems.

Quality over Quantity

I curate, not catalog. Every tool is personally tested.

Zero Affiliate Links

No financial incentive to recommend expensive tools.

Honest Limitations

I call out what doesn't work, not just what does.

Real Pricing

I document actual costs, free tiers, and pricing gotchas.

👨‍💻 Who I Am

I'm a solo technical founder building PickMyAI as a side project. I've been in the trenches building products, and I know what it's like to waste time and money on tools that don't deliver.

This site is my way of giving back to the founder community by sharing what I've learned through trial and error.

🔍 Transparency Commitment

  • No paid placements: Tools aren't ranked by who pays me
  • No affiliate links: I don't earn commissions on clicks
  • Personal testing: I use every tool I recommend
  • Regular updates: I review tools quarterly and update when things change
  • Open about limitations: I tell you what doesn't work
