Two days after launch — here's everything we've shipped and where we're taking this

When we launched on Product Hunt two days ago the response told us something we didn't fully anticipate.

Builders don't just want to be listed. They want to be connected, recognized, funded and found by the right people — not just any people.

So we moved fast. Here's the full picture of what's live and what's coming.

✅ LIVE NOW

🆚 Compare AI Tools Select any two or more tools from any listing page and compare them side by side — pricing, AI stack, features, community upvotes, builder details. The highest-intent moment on the platform is when someone is actively choosing between two tools. A complete listing wins that moment. Make sure yours is complete.

⚡ Auto-Fill from URL Drop your website URL into the submission form and we pull your listing details automatically. One condition: your site links back to IndieAIs. You get faster submissions and a backlink. We get a connected community.

🙋 Claim Your Tool We've been manually listing tools we discover across GitHub, Product Hunt and Reddit. Your tool might already be on IndieAIs without you knowing it. Go search for it right now. If it's there — claim it. One request, our team reviews, ownership transfers to you.

🤝 Partners Program We're partnering with AI directories, builder newsletters and indie communities for cross-promotion, shared audiences and co-marketing. IndieAIs was inspired by the platforms that built this culture — Product Hunt, IndieHackers, Futurepedia, There's An AI For That, BetaList. We want to grow alongside them, not compete with them. If you run an aligned community — let's talk.

🔗 Builders Network Community discussion spaces organized by category — AI Agents, Automation, Developer Tools, Voice, Writing, No-Code and more. Every category has its own space where builders working in that area can actually talk to each other. Not a feed. Not a cold Discord. A space where the context is already shared before the conversation starts.

🛒 Buy & Sell AI Tools Exit your indie AI tool or acquire one with existing users and proven traction. Every listing manually reviewed before going live. No junk, no scams, no abandoned projects dressed up as businesses.

🤝 Open To Connect + Builder Networking Signal on your profile what you're open to — co-founder conversations, technical collaborators, beta users, advisory relationships, investment or acquisition. Builder Networking maps builders by what they're creating and surfaces meaningful overlaps. You're building something. Someone else is building something adjacent. You've never met. Builder Networking finds that person.

🔜 COMING NEXT

👀 Investor Ready Page

The most community-upvoted and engaged tools on IndieAIs get placed on a dedicated page visible to VC fund managers and angel investors actively sourcing indie AI talent.

No pitch deck required. No cold email into a void. No warm intro needed.

Community recognition does the work. The tools building traction today will be the ones visible to investors when this launches.

✍️ Community Blogs — earn your voice, then use it

Reach 150 followers on IndieAIs and unlock the ability to publish long-form blog posts directly on the platform. Your builder story, your lessons learned, your honest take on what's working — published to an audience that is specifically here because they care about indie AI.

This isn't a vanity metric. It's a quality signal. 150 followers means the community has already decided you have something worth hearing. Build in public. Earn the audience. Then write the post they'll actually read.

👤 FOR USERS — you don't have to be a builder to matter here

IndieAIs isn't only for builders. It's for anyone who uses AI tools, follows indie development, or cares about where this space is going.

As a user you can upvote tools you genuinely find useful — your vote directly affects which tools reach Investor Ready visibility. Follow builders whose work interests you — your follows count toward their 150-follower blog unlock. Comment and engage with listings — builders read every comment and real feedback shapes real products. Connect with builders through Open To Connect — users make great beta testers, advisors and early customers.

The best thing a non-builder can do on IndieAIs is show up with genuine curiosity. Not spamming. Not performative engagement. Just real reactions from someone who actually cares about this space. That signal is more valuable than you think.

🙏 WHERE INDIEAIS GETS ITS INSPIRATION

IndieAIs didn't come from nowhere. It was built on the shoulders of platforms that showed what builder culture and community-driven discovery could look like at its best.

Product Hunt — you showed what launch culture looks like when a community genuinely rallies around new products. The upvote as a real signal of interest. The comments section as a conversation starter. The excitement of launch day. All of that is in our DNA.

IndieHackers — the culture of building in public, sharing real numbers, asking hard questions and getting honest answers from people who've been through it. That's the standard we're trying to bring to the AI tools space specifically.

Futurepedia and There's An AI For That — you proved there's real demand for dedicated AI tool discovery and built the category we're building inside of.

BetaList and Hacker News — you showed that early-stage products deserve a real audience and that technical communities can be both demanding and deeply supportive.

We're not trying to replace any of these platforms. We're trying to build the version of this that exists specifically for independent AI builders — with the community warmth of IndieHackers, the launch energy of Product Hunt, and the AI-specific focus that this moment in history deserves.

To every platform that paved the way — genuinely, thank you.

If you've built an indie AI tool and haven't listed yet — it's free, takes five minutes, and puts you in front of people actively looking for exactly what you built.

If you're a user who cares about indie AI — make an account, follow the builders doing interesting work, and leave a comment that matters.

The best indie AI is being built in bedrooms and coffee shops right now. Come help us make sure it gets found.
