Submit to MakerHunt 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, MakerHunt included, from your own browser, and tracks every listing. On MakerHunt specifically:
- It already knows MakerHunt's submit flow from the path we recorded (makerhunt.io/submit → makerhunt.io/auth/signin).
- MakerHunt needs no account, so it goes straight to the form.
- It writes the listing copy for MakerHunt's audience (launch platform and maker community) instead of pasting the same description everywhere.
- The free listing needs MakerHunt's badge or link, and the agent flags that before submitting so you can add it or skip.
- When MakerHunt publishes the listing, it saves the URL and checks the link in your launch tracker.
