- No account is needed to submit.
- Fill in the form: product name, website, a short description written for this audience, category, logo and a screenshot or two.
- Save the listing URL once it's public, so you can check the link later.

Submit to ShipBoost 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, ShipBoost included, from your own browser, and tracks every listing. On ShipBoost specifically:
- It already knows ShipBoost's submit flow from the path we recorded (shipboost.io/submit).
- ShipBoost needs no account, so it goes straight to the form.
- It writes the listing copy for ShipBoost's audience (launch platform and maker community) instead of pasting the same description everywhere.
- When ShipBoost publishes the listing, it saves the URL and checks the link in your launch tracker.
