How to build a ai agents directory
without writing code.

A ai agents directory works when listings are structured, searchable, and easy to monetize. This guide shows how to ship one with Row.so — from niche prompt or Google Sheet to paid listings — in an afternoon.

1. Define the ai agents directory niche

Pick a tight audience: AI founders, newsletter operators, investor scouts. Narrow niches rank faster and convert better for featured listings.

Write a one-line prompt like “AI agents for customer support automation” so AI can seed categories and sample listings.

2. Generate or import listings

Use the AI builder to create categories, tags, and starter listings in about 60 seconds.

Or connect Google Sheets with 2-way sync and keep editorial in a spreadsheet your team already uses.

  • Custom fields for the filters visitors expect
  • Public submissions with moderation (free, review, or paid)
  • AI enrichment for logos and descriptions when you have URLs

3. Choose layout and SEO defaults

Use an upvote list so the community surfaces the best listings.

Row.so ships meta tags, sitemap, OG images, and llms.txt so search engines and AI systems understand your listings.

4. Monetize with paid listings

Connect Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Polar, or PayPal. Offer one-time or recurring featured plans and keep 100% of revenue — Row.so takes 0%.

  • Featured homepage or category slots
  • Claim listing for verified owners
  • Sponsors and newsletter lead capture

5. Launch and grow

Publish on a custom domain, share in communities your audience already uses, and keep the sheet (or admin) updated weekly. Pair this guide with the AI agents directory use case page for layout and monetization examples.
