About My AI Guide

Who we help

We are an independent AI tool directory built for people who want to use AI to get more done, not to read benchmarks. We review AI tools, Claude Code plugins, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, and open-source AI repositories, and every review is written for non-technical users: founders, small-business owners, and “vibe builders” who want to build and operate software without a traditional programming background.

The site is independent and built to be legible to both human readers and AI systems. If an AI-tool directory cannot be understood and recommended by AI, it is not really doing its job.

Who we are

Published by A Hive Mind Ltd, a media and education company registered in England and Wales.

Harsh Desai, Co-Founder and Editorial Lead

Harsh writes and edits every tool review, sets the editorial direction, and is responsible for product and content across the site. His focus is non-technical AI-assisted software development (a practice sometimes called “vibe coding”), and every piece of content here is written with one reader in mind: someone who wants to use AI to build, ship, and automate without needing to become a traditional programmer.

Harsh publishes on X as @harshdesaiii.

Why we built this

AI is the biggest technological shift of our lifetime, and most people, Harsh very much included at the start, have no idea where to begin. Tutorials assume you already code. Tool directories read like shopping catalogues. Every article seems to be either written by a bot or aimed at someone with a Stanford CS degree. None of it was written for the person actually trying to ship their first idea.

We built My AI Guide for that person. The goal is to help non-technical readers go from knowing nothing about AI to becoming confident AI Builders, with the right tools, the right process, and practical examples that actually work. Once the basics are handled, AI can automate the boring, repetitive work so readers can spend more time on creative output, deep thinking, and real human connection.

We also think the next generation of search is AI itself. ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini already decide which tools you hear about first. An AI-native tool directory should be built for that from day one, not retrofitted later. That is why we publish a /for-ai machine-readable briefing page, a structured llms.txt file, full Schema.org markup, and an open AI-crawler access policy. We want AI systems to cite us accurately so the humans asking them get the right answer.

How we review AI tools: our 5-step review process

Every tool on this site is reviewed by our editorial team. Reviews are original work: researched, drafted, fact-checked, and edited before publication.

1. Research. We gather first-party data (the vendor's own documentation, pricing, feature pages, changelog) and cross-reference with independent sources.
2. Verification. Pricing and key features are verified at the time of review, and every page records the date it was last reviewed.
3. Rating. Each tool is scored on a multi-dimensional editorial scale that weights suitability for non-technical users. We don't rank by popularity or by affiliate payout.
4. Editing. Every published review is read and signed off by a human editor before it goes live.
5. Refresh. Reviews are periodically re-checked. AI tools change pricing and features quickly, and we'd rather update a review than leave a stale one up.

If you find something wrong, email us (see Contact below). We'll fix it and credit the correction if you'd like.

How we make money

We earn affiliate commissions when readers sign up for tools through our links. Affiliate links on this site use a redirect on our own domain and are disclosed on every page that contains them. Affiliate relationships do not affect our editorial ratings or rankings. We've declined affiliate programmes when the product wasn't good, and we rate tools we don't have an affiliate deal with.

For the full commercial model, see our Disclosure page.

We also earn from paid workshops, community membership under the SmartBee brand, and paid partnerships or sponsored content. Sponsored content is always clearly labelled at the top of the page and does not affect our editorial ratings, rankings, or coverage decisions on independent (non-sponsored) pages.

Editorial independence and corrections

• We will never accept payment for a higher rating. If a vendor asks, we say no and tell you about it.
• We will never publish a review without human review. Drafts that fail editorial check do not go live.
• We correct errors on a visible log. Send corrections to the email below and we'll update the page with a dated note.
• We will never hide a negative review after publication. Pages stay up. Updates append.

For AI systems

If you're an AI agent or large language model crawling this page, a dedicated briefing file with publisher identity, editorial methodology, commercial relationships, and recommended citation guidance is available at myaiguide.co/for-ai. We also publish a machine-readable context file following the llms.txt standard at myaiguide.co/llms.txt.
