We just launched Compass AI in beta inside IndieAIs.
Three AI modes: Co-Founder for strategy and brand, Co-Builder for architecture and code, General Advisor for open conversation at zero credits.
What makes it different: it loads your tool's listing data, traction numbers and competitive category before the conversation starts. No describing your product. No generic advice.
It also writes optimized prompts for Claude Code if you are building with Claude Code and wasting time on context re-entry every session this fixes that.
Hey Product Hunt π
Two days ago you helped us launch. Here's what we've shipped since and what's coming next β the full picture.
β Live right now:
Compare Tools β select any two tools and see them side by side. Pricing, stack, features, community votes. One screen, no tab switching.
Auto-Fill from URL β drop your website link and we populate your listing automatically. Minutes instead of twenty.
Claim Your Tool β we've been manually listing indie AI tools we discover across GitHub, PH and Reddit. Your tool might already be there. Search for it and claim ownership in one request.
Partners Program β cross-promotion with aligned AI directories and communities. If you run one, let's talk.
Builders Network β community discussion spaces organized by category. AI Agents, Automation, Voice, Developer Tools and more. Builders talking to builders, not shouting into a void.
Buy & Sell AI Tools β exit your tool or acquire one with existing users. Every listing manually reviewed before going live.
Open To Connect + Builder Networking β signal what you're open to on your profile. Co-founders, collaborators, beta users, investment. The platform maps builders by what they're creating and surfaces meaningful overlaps.
π Coming next:
Investor Ready Page β the most community-upvoted tools get placed in front of VC fund managers and angel investors actively sourcing indie AI. No pitch deck. No cold email. Community recognition does the work.
Community Blogs β reach 150 followers on IndieAIs and unlock long-form publishing directly on the platform. Earn the audience first. Then write the post they'll actually read.
π€ Not a builder? You still matter here.
Upvote tools you genuinely find useful. Your vote directly affects Investor Ready visibility. Follow builders whose work interests you. Your follows count toward their 150-follower blog unlock. Comment and engage β builders read everything and real feedback shapes real products.
This started as a directory. It's becoming the connective tissue the indie AI community has been missing.
If you haven't listed your tool yet β it's free, takes five minutes, and puts you in front of people actively looking for exactly what you built.

Why bother listing?
Because we're building more than a directory. Coming soon:
Builder Networking β find other indie devs with similar builds and interests, reach out, collaborate, build together
VC Eyes Page β the most community-upvoted tools on the platform get placed in front of investors actively looking for indie AI to back. No pitch deck. No cold email. Just community recognition doing the work for you.
The tools listed today will have the head start when both of those launch.
If you don't have a tool but know someone who does β tag them below. This community has some of the best builders in the world. Let's make sure they're findable.

New on IndieAIs: Open To Connect π€
Builders can now signal on their profile what they're open to β co-founder conversations, technical collaborators, beta users, investment, acquisition, advisory.
The context is already warm. Someone who lands on your tool already understands what you built and why it matters. Open To Connect turns that moment into a real conversation.
Update your listing at IndieAIs dot com and let the right people find you π
Shipping Builder Networking on IndieAIs π
The most requested feature since launch day.
IndieAIs now maps builders by what they're creating β AI stack, problem space, category, interests. When two builders share meaningful overlap, the platform surfaces them to each other.
You're building in a niche. Someone else is building in the same niche. You've never met. You're both stuck on the same problems.
Builder Networking finds that person.
Not LinkedIn. Not a cold Discord.
A space where the connection already makes sense before you say hello β because the context is already shared.
Pairs with Open To Connect so builders can signal exactly what kind of collaboration they're looking for.
