Submit to Alternative.me with your AI agent
AgentLaunch is a launch kit you open in Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. Your agent submits your product to 300+ hand-checked directories, Alternative.me included, from your own browser, and tracks every listing. On Alternative.me specifically:
- It already knows Alternative.me's submit flow from the path we recorded (alternative.me/how-to/submit-software → alternative.me/signup → alternative.me/login).
- Alternative.me needs an account, so the agent signs up and confirms the email itself.
- It writes the listing copy for Alternative.me's audience (software review and B2B marketplace) instead of pasting the same description everywhere.
- When Alternative.me publishes the listing, it saves the URL and checks the dofollow link in your launch tracker.
