Add AISO Tools (Search, Marketing)

[shibley]

Adds data/products/aisotools.yaml.

AISO Tools — https://aisotools.com — measures whether ChatGPT actually recommends a given AI tool. You enter a tool name and category, it runs recommendation-shaped prompts, and returns a visibility score plus which competitors got named instead. Behind that sits a catalog of 1,592 AI tools.

Why it may be worth a slot here: the list has plenty of tools that generate things and very little in Search that measures AI-answer visibility, which is a distinct problem from classic SEO. Filed it under Search and Marketing.

Field notes — everything below was read off the live site today, not from marketing copy

• models / pricing: free scan $0 (no account, no card), one-time report $9, Monitoring $19/mo or $190/yr — all four numbers from https://aisotools.com/audit/pricing.
• self_signup: true — the free scan genuinely needs no account.
• has_mcp: true, has_api: true — there is a public, unauthenticated MCP server at https://aisotools.com/api/mcp (streamable-http, POST). developer_portal_url points at the docs page, per the schema's has_api refinement.
• year_founded: 2026 — first commit on the codebase is 2026-02-14.
• open_source: false, so license and source_code_url are null.
• No RSS feed exists, so rss_feed_url: null rather than a guessed URL.
• stats: {} — I have no third-party traffic figure I'd stand behind, so I left it empty rather than seeding a rank.

Validation

bun isn't available on this machine, so I re-implemented scripts/lib/schema.ts (enums, required keys, the PricingSchema shape, the slug-matches-filename rule and the has_api → developer_portal_url refinement) and ran it over all of data/products/: 105 files, 0 invalid. Happy to adjust if bun run check disagrees on anything.

I'm affiliated with this product — flagging that rather than filing it as a neutral third party. If a self-submission isn't something you take, close it and no hard feelings.
