DIY AI works with relevant AI software companies, SaaS brands, affiliate managers, PR teams and agencies that want to reach readers who are actively comparing tools before they buy. We cover practical AI software across writing, SEO, image generation, video, audio, speech-to-text, coding, productivity, automation and data workflows.
This page is for commercial partnership enquiries, including sponsored editorial, product launches, software reviews, affiliate partnerships, newsletter sponsorships, research collaborations and brand campaigns. To propose an unpaid guest article or expert contribution, please use our contribute page instead.
Who DIY AI reaches
DIY AI reaches people who are actively researching software, comparing products and looking for practical guidance before making a decision. Many arrive with a specific task in mind, such as choosing a voice generator, comparing AI SEO tools, finding a coding assistant, checking software pricing or improving a business workflow.
Our readers include founders, creators, consultants, marketers, developers, freelancers, agencies, educators, content teams and small business owners. They expect clear explanations, realistic trade-offs and useful comparisons rather than promotional product copy.
Commercial partnership opportunities
We consider commercial partnerships where the product fits our audience and can be covered responsibly. Suitable formats may include:
- Sponsored editorial with clear disclosure
- Product reviews based on structured evaluation or suitable product access
- Affiliate partnerships for relevant AI and SaaS products
- Newsletter sponsorships
- Product launch coverage
- Category sponsorships
- Comparison inclusion where the product genuinely fits the reader’s search intent
- Pricing explainers, alternatives pages and practical workflow tutorials
- Research collaborations and data-led content
- Creative campaign support through the DIY AI Studio platform
We prefer useful, continuing partner relationships over isolated link placements. The strongest fit is usually a software company with a credible product, clear positioning, reliable landing pages and a commercial structure that rewards genuine buyer-intent traffic.
Agency and PR partnerships
DIY AI works with agencies and PR teams where the campaign is relevant to our readers. We are a better fit for thoughtful software promotion than generic link placement.
A useful agency enquiry normally includes a real AI or SaaS product, a clear campaign goal and an explanation of why the product belongs on DIY AI. This could involve a launch, product review, category update, pricing guide, alternatives article, workflow tutorial or disclosed sponsored feature.
We do not sell ranking guarantees, bulk link packages or irrelevant placements. Sponsored content must be disclosed, useful and editorially suitable. DIY AI retains control over article structure, claims, links, anchor text and final publication decisions.
Core software categories we cover
DIY AI publishes across several commercial AI software categories, including:
- AI writing tools and editing platforms
- AI SEO tools and content optimisation software
- AI image generators, image editors and creative platforms
- AI video generators and editing tools
- AI voice generators, audio tools and text-to-speech software
- Speech-to-text tools, transcription APIs and voice workflow software
- AI coding assistants, code review tools and application builders
- AI productivity tools, automation platforms and business software
- AI data analysis tools and reporting workflows
A partner does not need to be the largest company in its category. It does need a credible product, a clear use case and a sensible reason for DIY AI readers to consider it.
Why companies partner with DIY AI
DIY AI focuses on practical product evaluation rather than publishing disconnected promotional pages. Our commercial content is designed to explain where a product fits, which problem it solves, how it compares with alternatives and which limitations a potential customer should understand before buying.
Partnership opportunities can provide:
- Access to a focused AI software audience
- Coverage across high-intent software categories
- Independent reviews, comparisons and pricing explainers
- Original AI tool datasets and category scoring
- Practical editorial coverage rather than thin promotional copy
- Opportunities across direct readership, newsletters and AI discovery platforms
- A clear distinction between commercial sponsorship and unpaid editorial contributions
Our public methodology and tool scoring are available through the DIY AI datasets hub. This gives readers and potential partners a clearer view of how products are assessed across different software categories.
Our partnership standards
DIY AI is an editorial publication first. Commercial relationships help fund our work, but they do not override reader trust. We only work with products that are relevant to the site and useful enough to warrant coverage.
- Affiliate relationships do not guarantee positive coverage
- Sponsored content is disclosed where required
- We do not publish fake reviews or unsupported product claims
- We do not use trademark PPC, fake coupon pages or misleading discount pages
- We do not use cloaked traffic, spam outreach or forced redirects
- We do not accept irrelevant commercial links placed solely for ranking purposes
- We reserve the right to explain product weaknesses, limitations and trade-offs
A good partnership is based on product fit, useful information and responsible promotion. If a product is not appropriate for our audience, we would rather decline it than publish a weak recommendation.
We also follow search-quality expectations around sponsorships, paid links and editorial disclosure. Google’s spam policies identify links created primarily to manipulate rankings as link spam, so DIY AI does not offer placements on that basis.
How we evaluate AI tools
DIY AI uses evaluation criteria suited to each category. A voice generator cannot be assessed in the same way as a coding assistant, and an SEO platform requires different tests from those for an image generator. The aim is to judge how effectively a product solves the actual problem faced by its intended users.
Depending on the category, assessment factors may include output quality, ease of use, reliability, pricing clarity, workflow fit, feature depth, user control, integrations, documentation, support, commercial usefulness and suitability for different types of customer.
Comparison content explains where each product is strongest rather than pretending every option performs equally well. One tool may suit beginners but lack advanced controls. Another may produce better results but cost more or require additional editing. Those differences affect both reader trust and the quality of customers referred to a partner.
Which partners are the best fit?
DIY AI is most likely to be a good fit for companies offering AI software, SaaS products, developer tools, marketing platforms, content tools, creative software, automation products, productivity applications and business workflow systems.
We are unlikely to accept partnerships involving unrelated industries, low-quality software, thin affiliate programmes, gambling, adult content, payday loans, crypto spam, essay-writing services or products that rely on misleading claims.

Book sponsored content through Collaborator or WhitePress
Advertisers and agencies that prefer to arrange sponsored content through an established publishing marketplace can find DIY AI on Collaborator.pro and WhitePress.com
Our publisher listings are available inside the marketplace platforms rather than through public listing URLs. After signing in to your advertiser or agency account, open the website catalogue and search for either DIY AI or diyai.io.
The marketplace route is suitable for straightforward sponsored editorial orders where the buyer wants the brief, payment, invoicing and delivery process managed through Collaborator or WhitePress. All orders remain subject to product relevance, editorial approval, disclosure requirements and the partnership standards described on this page.
For affiliate partnerships, product access, newsletter sponsorships, research projects or campaigns requiring a tailored format, contact DIY AI directly. If you cannot locate our listing, email us and mention which marketplace you are using so we can help you identify the correct publisher entry.
PartnerStack programme invitations
Some SaaS companies manage their affiliate programmes through PartnerStack. If DIY AI is suitable for your programme but the standard marketplace application route is unavailable, your team can send us a direct programme application link or group join link from inside PartnerStack.
We are happy to apply through the correct vendor-specific invitation, provide the required publisher information and follow programme rules covering approved claims, restricted keywords, paid advertising and promotional methods.
