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