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 tools 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. If you want to submit an unpaid guest article or expert contribution, please use our contribute page instead.
Who DIY AI reaches
DIY AI reaches readers who are actively researching software options, comparing tools and looking for practical guidance before choosing a product. Our audience is not limited to casual AI curiosity. Many readers arrive with a clear task in mind: choosing a voice generator, comparing AI SEO software, finding a coding assistant, checking pricing, improving content workflows, or selecting tools for a small-business process.
Typical readers include founders, creators, consultants, marketers, developers, freelancers, agencies, educators, content teams and small business owners. They are usually looking for clear explanations, realistic trade-offs and direct comparisons rather than promotional product copy.
Commercial opportunities
We are open to commercial partnerships where the product fits our audience and can be covered responsibly. Common partnership formats include:
- Sponsored editorial with clear disclosure
- Product reviews based on structured evaluation or hands-on access
- Affiliate partnerships for relevant AI and SaaS products
- Newsletter sponsorships
- Product launch coverage
- Category sponsorships
- Comparison article inclusion where the product fits the search intent
- Pricing explainers, alternatives pages and workflow tutorials
- Research collaborations and data-led content
- Creative campaign support through DIY AI’s Studio platform
We prefer long-term partner relationships over one-off link placements. The strongest fit is usually a software company with a useful 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.
Good agency enquiries usually involve a real AI product, a clear campaign goal and a reason the product belongs on DIY AI. That might be a new tool launch, a category update, a review opportunity, a pricing page, an alternatives article, a workflow guide or an expert-led sponsored feature.
We do not sell ranking guarantees, link packages or irrelevant placements. Sponsored content must be disclosed, useful and editorially suitable. We retain editorial control over structure, claims, links, anchors and final publication decisions.
Core categories we cover
DIY AI publishes across several commercial AI software categories. These include:
- AI writing tools and editing platforms
- AI SEO tools and content optimisation software
- AI image generators, image editors and creative tools
- AI video generators and editing platforms
- 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 app builders
- AI productivity tools, automation platforms and business software
- AI data analysis tools and reporting workflows
We are most interested in software that solves a clear reader problem. A tool does not need to be the biggest brand in its category, but it does need to have a credible product, a clear use case and a sensible fit for DIY AI readers.
Why partner with DIY AI?
DIY AI is building authority by focusing on practical AI tool evaluation rather than publishing disconnected promotional pages. Our strongest commercial content is designed to help readers understand where a product fits, what problem it solves, how it compares with alternatives and what limitations matter before purchase.
Partners benefit from:
- A focused AI software audience
- Coverage across buyer-intent categories
- Independent reviews, comparisons and pricing explainers
- Original AI tool datasets and category scoring
- Practical editorial standards rather than thin promotional copy
- Opportunities across search, newsletter, direct readership and AI discovery surfaces
- Clear separation between editorial contributions and commercial sponsorships
Our public methodology and tool scoring work is available through the DIY AI datasets hub. This helps partners understand how products are assessed across categories and gives readers a clearer basis for comparison.
Our partnership standards
DIY AI is an editorial site first. Commercial relationships help fund the publication, but they do not override reader trust. We only work with products that are relevant to the site and useful enough for our audience.
- 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 only for SEO value
- We reserve the right to explain product weaknesses, limitations and trade-offs
Good partnerships are based on product fit, useful information and clean promotion methods. If a product is not right for our audience, we would rather say no than publish a weak recommendation.
We also follow search-quality expectations around paid links, sponsorships and editorial disclosure. Google’s guidance on spam policies is clear that links created primarily to manipulate rankings can be treated as link spam, so DIY AI does not offer placements on that basis.
How we evaluate tools
DIY AI uses structured evaluation criteria that vary by category. A voice generator is not judged in the same way as an AI coding assistant, and an SEO tool is not judged in the same way as an image generator. The aim is to assess how well the product solves the actual user problem in its category.
Common evaluation factors include output quality, ease of use, reliability, pricing clarity, workflow fit, feature depth, control, integrations, support, documentation, commercial usefulness and suitability for different user types.
For comparison content, we try to explain where each product fits rather than pretending every option is equally strong. Some tools are better for beginners. Some are better for agencies. Some are strong on output quality but expensive. Others are cheaper but need more manual editing. Those trade-offs matter to readers, and they matter to conversion quality as well.
Best-fit partners
DIY AI is most likely to be a good fit for companies selling AI software, SaaS products, developer tools, marketing software, content tools, creative platforms, automation products, productivity software and business workflow tools.
We are less likely to accept partnerships from unrelated niches, thin affiliate programmes, low-quality software, gambling, adult, payday, crypto spam, essay-writing services or products that rely on misleading claims.
What to send us
To quickly assess partnership fit, please include the practical details a publisher needs before planning coverage.
- Your product name and website
- The affiliate, referral or partner programme URL

If your programme is hosted on PartnerStack
Some SaaS partners manage their affiliate programmes through PartnerStack. If DIY AI is a fit for your programme but the standard marketplace route is unavailable, your team can send us a direct programme application link or group join link from inside PartnerStack.
This is often the simplest route for vendors who already want to work directly with DIY AI. We are happy to apply through the correct vendor-specific link, provide profile information and follow any programme rules regarding claims, restricted keywords and promotional methods.
