Can I post about my own AI tool here?
Yes, but only after you reach out to the moderator first. The rules say unapproved self-promotional material is removed as spam.

Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- Do Not Spam: Spamming the community may lead to a ban
- Self-Promotion/ADs: Before you post any self-promotional material, please reach out to the mod, otherwise it will be considered spam and will be removed
- Stay On-Topic: Posts must be related to AI, AI tools, AI-assisted workflows, AI ethics, or AI-related news. Off-topic content will be removed.
- Respectful Discussion: No personal attacks, trolling, or harassment. Critique ideas, not people.
- No Subscription Selling: Selling subscriptions to tools or tool sharing will result in instant ban. We aim to protect our community.
Works well
- A writeup of an AI workflow you actually use, with the prompts you tried and the ones that failed
- An honest review of an AI tool that covers where it broke, since the community exists to expose broken tools
- A before and after story showing how an AI-assisted process changed your day to day work
- A question asking how other members handle a specific AI task, framed around real usage not theory
- A lesson learned post about an AI fail, told plainly without turning it into a product pitch
Avoid
- Posting your own tool, product, or link without messaging the moderator first, which gets it removed as spam
- Selling subscriptions to any tool or offering shared accounts, which the rules say leads to an instant ban
- Writing a post that reads like an ad instead of a real experience, because unapproved self-promotion is treated as spam
- Going off-topic with content that has nothing to do with AI, AI tools, workflows, ethics, or AI news
- Attacking people instead of critiquing ideas, which breaks the respectful discussion rule
- Dropping the same promotional message repeatedly, since spamming can lead to a ban
What r/AIAssisted Is For
This community is for people who actually use AI, not people who just talk about it. Members swap prompts, expose broken tools, share wins and fails, and post the stuff that never makes it into tutorials. The description says it is a place for real insight if you are tired of the hype. The rules confirm the scope, because posts must relate to AI, AI tools, AI-assisted workflows, AI ethics, or AI-related news. So the people posting here are users and builders sharing what really happened when they used a tool, including the ugly parts.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that decides everything for a founder is “Self-Promotion/ADs”, which says you must reach out to the mod before posting any self-promotional material, otherwise it counts as spam and gets removed. “Do Not Spam” backs that up and warns that spamming can lead to a ban. “No Subscription Selling” is the strictest rule here, because selling subscriptions to tools or sharing tool accounts leads to an instant ban. “Stay On-Topic” limits posts to AI, AI tools, AI-assisted workflows, AI ethics, or AI-related news, so anything off that gets removed. “Respectful Discussion” matters too, since you can critique ideas but never attack people.
What To Post
A good post here is a real story about using AI, told with the wins and the fails. Write up a workflow you actually run, share the prompts that worked and the ones that fell apart, or give an honest breakdown of a tool including where it broke. If you built something, you can talk about it, but message the moderator first before you post anything self-promotional, because the rules require it. Frame your post as a lesson or a case study, not an ad, and keep it clearly tied to AI tools, workflows, or AI news. Honest critique of a broken tool is welcome here, so do not be afraid to say what did not work.
What To Avoid
The fastest way to get banned here is selling tool subscriptions or sharing tool accounts, because the rules call that an instant ban. Posting your own product or any self-promotional material without messaging the mod first gets it removed as spam. Repeated spamming can also lead to a ban. Off-topic posts that are not about AI, AI tools, AI-assisted workflows, AI ethics, or AI news get removed. Personal attacks, trolling, and harassment are out too, so critique ideas and never people.

Posts must relate to AI, AI tools, AI-assisted workflows, AI ethics, or AI-related news. Anything else gets removed.

No. The rules say to critique ideas, not people, and personal attacks or trolling are not allowed.
