About KIYI AI
We're real people who test AI tools daily—so you don't have to waste time on duds.
Why We Built This
Back in early 2024, we were drowning in AI tool lists that all said the same thing: "ChatGPT is amazing!" "Check out this new tool!" But nobody was telling us which tools actually saved time, which were overhyped, or how real people were using them.
So we started testing everything ourselves. We're content creators, developers, marketers, and small business owners who use AI tools every single day. When we say a tool works, it's because we've used it in real projects—not just signed up for a free trial and written a generic review.
Fast forward to 2026, and AI has exploded. New tools drop weekly. That's why this site exists—to cut through the noise and show you what's actually worth your time and money.
What Makes Us Different
🎯 Real-World Testing
We don't just demo tools—we use them for actual work. Creating videos? We test Runway ML and Opus Clip. Building social presence? We're running Banana AI experiments right now.
💡 Honest Reviews
If a tool sucks, we'll say it. If the free plan is useless, you'll know. If something is overhyped—we'll tell you exactly why. We make money from affiliate links, but our reputation matters more.
🚀 Updated Weekly
AI doesn't sleep, and neither do we. New tools get added, old reviews get updated, and we're constantly testing the latest releases. What worked in 2024 might be obsolete now—we keep you current.
📚 Practical Prompts
Our 500+ ChatGPT prompts aren't generic templates—they're battle-tested by our team and community. We share what actually produces good results, not just what sounds clever.

Transparency & Affiliate Disclosure
Let's be upfront: we make money through affiliate links. When you click a link to an AI tool and sign up, we sometimes earn a small commission. This doesn't affect our opinions.
We recommend tools we genuinely use and believe in. If a tool is overhyped or has better alternatives, we'll tell you—even if we'd make more money promoting the expensive option. Our reputation with you matters more than any single commission.
We also clearly mark sponsored content (though we rarely accept sponsorships) and maintain full editorial independence. Companies can't pay for positive reviews. Period.
Have an AI Tool We Should Review?
We're always hunting for new AI tools to test. If you've built something or discovered a hidden gem, tell us about it. We can't promise to review everything, but we'll check it out.
Criteria we look for:
- ✅ Solves a real problem (not just "AI for the sake of AI")
