Submit to Side Projects 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, Side Projects included, from your own browser, and tracks every listing. On Side Projects specifically:
- It already knows Side Projects's submit flow from the path we recorded (sideprojects.net/[resource]/submit).
- Side Projects needs no account, so it goes straight to the form.
- It writes the listing copy for Side Projects's audience (launch platform and maker community) instead of pasting the same description everywhere.
- It takes the free route and skips Side Projects's paid upgrades unless you approve them.
- When Side Projects publishes the listing, it saves the URL and checks the dofollow link in your launch tracker.
