About ToolCenter

A bilingual directory that helps you find the right AI tool, faster.

What we do

ToolCenter (工具岛) is an English–Chinese directory of 1,700+ AI tools and in-depth articles, covering categories from writing and coding assistants to image, video, and audio generation.

Our goal is simple: when you need an AI tool for a task, you should be able to find solid candidates, understand pricing at a glance, and click through to the official site — without wading through hype.

How the catalog is built

New tools enter the catalog in two ways: automated discovery pipelines that monitor public sources such as Product Hunt, GitHub, and Hacker News, and submissions from makers and readers.

Every listing carries the same core fields — name, description, pricing, and category — and automated health checks flag broken links and stale data for review. The rules we follow are documented in our Editorial Guidelines.

The team

ToolCenter is maintained by the ToolCenter Editorial Team, which curates the catalog, reviews submissions, and edits articles — with heavy use of automation kept under human review. Articles across the site are published under this shared byline.
