Sift Directory

About this template

Most AI tool directories never make it past a messy spreadsheet. Sift gets yours live, and built to earn.

Sift is a CMS-powered AI directory template

For people building an audience and a business around AI tools. If you write reviews, publish roundups, or run affiliate links, this is the site you've meant to build but never had weeks to code.

Everything runs on Framer's CMS. Add a tool as one row and it appears everywhere: the browse grid, its category page, search, and its own detail page. Your directory grows as fast as you can type.

Every tool page is built to convert: a clear Visit button for your affiliate link, a disclosure section to stay compliant, ratings, upvotes, pricing, and a "similar tools" block. Filtering and search are native, instant, and URL-synced.

The blog is a real content engine with author profiles, categories, tag filtering, a "tools mentioned" section, and a newsletter block. Publish roundups that rank on Google and turn readers into affiliate clicks.

Light and dark themes ship with one shared design system, so your brand color, font, or mode restyles everything in a couple of clicks. It even includes a library of ready-to-paste Framer AI Agent prompts, so you can rebrand and swap in your content just by describing what you want.
