Task before tool
A good AI tool solves a concrete task: writing, researching, translating, presenting, analyzing, automating or planning. A broad feature set matters less than a clear benefit.
Add a tool
Providers can suggest their AI tool for editorial review. We evaluate usefulness, target audience, transparency, privacy, pricing structure and whether the tool fits one of our categories.
Submission
We accept submissions from SaaS providers, indie tools, agencies, open-source projects and specialized AI workflows. A submission does not guarantee acceptance. We assess editorially whether a tool offers clear value to our readers.
We're especially happy to review AI video tools: text-to-video, image-to-video, avatar video, dubbing, narration, subtitles, social clips, product demos, explainer videos, video editing and localization.
Evaluation
A good AI tool solves a concrete task: writing, researching, translating, presenting, analyzing, automating or planning. A broad feature set matters less than a clear benefit.
We don't just look at a demo screenshot. What matters is whether the results are consistently usable, whether sources are handled properly and whether users can refine them afterward.
Good tools explain which models are used, which limits apply, what is free, what is paid and whether data is used for training or analysis.
A tool is more valuable when its results fit into real work processes: DOCX, PDF, PPTX, Markdown, CSV, API, team sharing or integrations.
For Tekoälytyökalut.com, it especially matters whether a tool understands prompts in your language, special characters, tone, privacy terminology and the reality of local work.
AI can make mistakes. Tools shouldn't lull users into a false sense of security, but instead make clear the limits, source-checking and responsible use.
Privacy
AI tools can be productive, but privacy is not a detail to tack on at the end of tool selection. Before adopting a tool, teams should clarify what data may be entered, where it is processed, who has access and how results are checked.
For companies, GDPR, data processing agreements, storage location, deletion policy, role-based access rights and internal agreements are especially important. Check whether the provider offers a data processing agreement, how long prompts and files are retained and whether inputs are used for training. Customer data, employee data, contract content and health information belong only in supervised systems with clear approvals.
In the EU, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is central. Especially relevant are purpose limitation, transparency, data security, processing via third parties and transfers abroad. If an AI tool processes data outside the EU or EEA, companies should check what guarantees, standard contractual clauses or other safeguards are in place.
Organizations in the EU are likewise subject to GDPR. In practice, what matters is a data protection impact assessment for high-risk cases, clear legal bases, documentation, oversight of processors and training for employees. Public authorities, educational institutions and regulated sectors often have additional internal requirements.
