Beta testers for AI tools
AI tool posts get flagged when they look like generic launches. Lead with the workflow you improve, who it is for and what feedback you need. These sources include AI-curious audiences that tolerate betas when you are specific.

FAQ
- Do I need to disclose the model or API?
- If usage limits or privacy matter to testers, say so up front. You do not need a technical whitepaper — be clear about data handling.
- Where do AI early adopters hang out?
- Product Hunt-style directories, AI subreddits and indie founder groups. Match the channel to hobbyists vs teams.
