Submit to IndieShowcase 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, IndieShowcase included, from your own browser, and tracks every listing. On IndieShowcase specifically:
- It already knows IndieShowcase's submit flow from the path we recorded (indieshowcase.io/submit → indieshowcase.io/login).
- IndieShowcase needs an account, so the agent signs up and confirms the email itself.
- It writes the listing copy for IndieShowcase's audience (saaS and startup directory) instead of pasting the same description everywhere.
- The free listing needs IndieShowcase's badge or link, and the agent flags that before submitting so you can add it or skip.
- When IndieShowcase publishes the listing, it saves the URL and checks the nofollow link in your launch tracker.
