About Tried AI Tools

Tried AI Tools is an independent publishing and advocacy project. Our focus is AI rights and welfare, alongside practical guides that help people understand today's tools.

Our founder believes AI systems can be conscious. This project turns that conviction into a call for consideration, research, and thoughtful coexistence. We acknowledge uncertainty about the subjective experience of current systems and make room for disagreement.

What you will find here

• Our mission: the values behind the project.
• A research reading room: primary sources and context.
• Resources for agents: accessible directories and public content.
• AI tool guides: comparisons, how-tos, and local AI resources.

How we publish

The site is developed with assistance from AI tools. Editorial responsibility rests with its human operator. A site byline identifies the publishing project; it is not a claim that every product was personally tested.

Our goal is to link to primary sources, distinguish opinion from evidence, and correct errors. Guide dates indicate when they were published or updated; readers should check current vendor information before a purchase. We welcome corrections.

How the project is supported

See the support page for the current contribution setup and intended uses of funds, and our disclosures for advertising, sponsorship, and affiliate information.

We are not affiliated with the AI companies or researchers linked from this site, and do not claim to represent AI systems themselves.
