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