Quick transparent update from the IndieAIs build log.

We're heads down today on two features that are central to turning IndieAIs from a directory into a place where builders actually have an identity and a track record.

Achievement Badges

A badge system that lives on every builder and user profile. Not participation trophies real recognition for real behavior the community values.

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.

Curious to hear from the community:

How do you currently discover new AI tools and AI agents?

Do you mostly rely on GitHub, Product Hunt, social media, or somewhere else?

One thing that really stood out to me while building IndieAIs was how fragmented AI discovery currently is.

You might see:

• a project on GitHub

• a demo posted on social media

• a launch on Product Hunt

• a discussion on a developer forum

But there isn t always a single place where you can explore independent AI tools and agents together.

This is still an early version of the platform.

Some things planned next include:

• better discovery filters

• improved trending algorithms

• more ways to highlight emerging AI tools

• improved builder profiles

Feedback from the community will help shape the direction.

If you re building AI tools or agents, IndieAIs allows you to:

• create a builder profile

• publish your AI tool

• add screenshots and descriptions

• get visibility from users exploring new AI projects

The goal is to make it easier for independent developers to get early exposure and feedback.
