Why This Methodology Works

We pride ourselves on testing every tool by hand. Unlike competitors who claim to test thousands of tools in short timeframes, we prioritize quality over quantity.

Our Testing Approach

  • Hands-on evaluation: Lili personally tests most tools on our website
  • Expert contributors: For specialized areas like data analytics or CRM, we bring in subject matter experts
  • Consistent methodology: All tools receive the same standardized prompts for direct comparison
  • Default settings focus: We avoid custom styling to evaluate each tool's default capabilities

Standard Test Prompts

Video Generators (No Audio)

Create a video of 2 people looking at each other and shaking hands, one being an AI robot, the other a woman. The background is space and the mood is friendly.

Video Generators (With Audio)

Base prompt above, plus: Make the two protagonists look at each other. The woman says: "So nice to finally meet you" and the cyborg says: "Same here."

AI Image Generators

We use three standardized prompts to evaluate different capabilities: 🎯 Baseline Comparison Test: Create a video of 2 people looking at each other and shaking hands, one being an AI robot, the other a woman. The background is space and the mood is friendly. 🎨 Creativity Assessment: Create a mars landscape with chrome design elements 📋 Detail Following Test: Create an image of an older lady with natural wrinkles and grey hair laying tarot cards. We see her from the front as she holds one card up. Her look is mysterious, she is wearing a veil and the background is a dark blue velvet curtain with golden stitchings of stars, the moon and star constellations. The style is somewhat between Dune (the movie) and Aladdin, with a shiny gloss on it.
