Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about AGIERA? We've got answers.

What is AGIERA? +

AGIERA is an independent AI comparison and discovery platform. We publish honest reviews, side-by-side comparisons, and personalised recommendations for AI tools across all categories: text, image, video, code, voice, and more.

We're like NerdWallet or Wirecutter, but for AI. We help you find the right tool for your needs, not the tool that pays us the most.

Is AGIERA free? +

Yes. All of our reviews, comparisons, and articles are free to read. The AGIERA Brief newsletter is also free.

We also offer AGIERA Pro, a paid subscription service with advanced features, personalised recommendations, and priority access to new content. But the core platform is completely free.

How do you make money? +

We earn affiliate commissions when you sign up for or purchase AI tools through our referral links. This is our primary business model and how we fund our editorial team.

We also offer AGIERA Pro, a paid subscription tier for power users.

We do NOT sell your data. We do NOT accept payment from tool vendors to influence rankings. Read our Affiliate Disclosure for full transparency.

Are your reviews actually independent? +

Yes. This is non-negotiable for us. A tool's ranking at AGIERA is determined by how good it actually is, not how much it pays us or how big its marketing budget is.

If a tool offers us a higher affiliate commission but doesn't deserve its ranking, it won't get a better ranking. If a tool offers us no commission but is genuinely excellent, it will be ranked accordingly.

We disclose when we earn affiliate commissions on a tool, so you can evaluate any potential bias and make your own judgment.

What's AGIERA Pro? +

AGIERA Pro is our paid subscription service for power users. It includes advanced comparison features, custom recommendation workflows, priority support, and early access to new tools and reviews.

Pro members also get The AGIERA Brief Pro — a weekly newsletter with deeper analysis and strategy recommendations.

How do you test and review tools? +

Our editorial process is rigorous. We spend weeks testing each tool across multiple use cases, evaluating accuracy, ease of use, pricing, speed, and real-world performance.

We test tools as real users would, not in controlled lab conditions. We use them for actual work. We break them. We find their limits. We document everything.

All testing is done independently, without input from the tool vendor.

Who's behind AGIERA? +

AGIERA was founded by Eli Chakty, who spent 12+ years in commercial construction and business operations. He saw the AI wave coming, got curious about the tools, and realised there was nowhere to go for honest, independent AI tool comparison. So he built AGIERA.

How do I suggest a tool for review? +

We'd love to hear from you. Email us at hello@agiera.ai with the name of the tool and why you think we should review it.

We read all suggestions and regularly prioritise them based on relevance and demand from our community.

When does AGIERA launch? +

We're live now! AGIERA is currently in open beta. We're continuously adding new reviews, tools, and features based on community feedback.

Can I write for AGIERA? +

Yes. We work with freelance writers, researchers, and subject matter experts on a project basis. If you're interested in contributing, email hello@agiera.ai with examples of your previous work.

We're looking for writers who understand AI tools deeply and can communicate clearly to diverse audiences.

What's The AGIERA Brief? +

The AGIERA Brief is our weekly newsletter covering new AI tools, updates to existing tools, tool comparisons, and strategy advice on how to use AI in your work.

It's free to subscribe. We also offer AGIERA Brief Pro for subscribers with deeper analysis and exclusive content.

Do you have a mobile app? +

Not yet. AGIERA is currently web-based and fully responsive on mobile browsers. We're exploring mobile apps for iOS and Android — sign up to our newsletter to stay updated.

In the meantime, you can save articles and bookmarks for offline reading using your browser.

How is AGIERA different from other AI tool directories? +

Most AI tool directories are just lists of tools with basic descriptions. AGIERA goes deeper.

We publish in-depth reviews, hands-on comparisons, and personalised recommendations based on your actual use case. We test tools ourselves. We disclose affiliate relationships. We commit to editorial independence. And we're not just a directory — we're an editorial publication.

Is my data safe with AGIERA? +

Yes. We take data privacy seriously. We encrypt all data in transit and at rest. We don't sell your personal information to third parties. We comply with the Australian Privacy Act, GDPR, and UK Data Protection Act.

Read our full Privacy Policy for detailed information about how we handle your data.
