UniCrowd: a curated AI tools directory that makers can list themselves on

About the project. UniCrowd.ai is a curated directory of AI tools for business. Visitors browse by category, read a short description of each tool and go to its website. Makers can sign up, submit a product and choose how prominently it is listed.

The challenge. New AI tools appear every week, and many lists are endless or outdated. The directory needed to stay easy to browse for a specific task while giving makers a self-service way to get listed and promoted. Every tool and category needed an indexable page backed by useful editorial content.

What we did. Loop built UniCrowd on Laravel with Livewire and Filament: the directory, tool and category pages, search, maker accounts and submission flow, listing plans, blog and admin side.
