Get your product discovered

For founders: how a listing becomes visible to AI agents automatically, and which fields make it rank for the right questions.

Nothing to configure

When you submit a product on Founder.best and it goes live, the same record immediately powers your product page, its JSON-LD, the public API, the Markdown mirror, llms-full.txt and every MCP search result. Edits you make from the dashboard propagate to all of them at once. There is no “enable AI” switch - being listed is being discoverable.

Surface	When it updates
Product page & JSON-LD	Immediately on approval or edit
REST API record	Immediately (edge cache refreshed on edit; otherwise ≤5 min)
MCP tool results	Immediately - tools query the database live
Markdown mirror	Immediately on edit; otherwise ≤5 min
llms.txt / llms-full.txt	Immediately on edit; otherwise hourly
Search engines & AI crawlers	On their next crawl; the sitemap lists your page

What makes a listing rank

Agents search the way people ask: “tools for X”, “something for freelancers that does Y”. The fields below are the ones search matches against and filters on, in rough order of impact.

Name and tagline. Weighted highest. Make the tagline say what the product does, not just a slogan.
Use cases (up to 3) and target audiences (up to 3). Matched directly and exposed as featureList / audience in structured data. Pick the ones a customer would type.
Categories (up to 3). Agents often filter by category first.
Description. Plain language, concrete nouns. It is searched and it is the text a model summarises for the user.
Pricing model and platforms. Filters, not search - but an agent asked for “free” or “has an API” will exclude you if these are wrong.
Integration links. API docs, MCP server URL and CLI install command show up as integrations and let agents recommend you for automation tasks.
Verified revenue. Optional. Connect TrustMRR and choose band or exact visibility; agents receive it as metrics.verified_revenue.

Check your own listing the way an agent sees it.

Open https://www.founder.best/products/your-slug.md and https://www.founder.best/api/v1/products/your-slug. If the AI-ready profile reads well and the use cases / audiences are filled in, you are in good shape.

How to get listed

Submit your product. Paste your URL and let “Fetch with AI” pre-fill the basics, then review every field.
Complete the classification step: categories, use cases, audiences, pricing, platforms, links.
Pick a launch week and plan. Standard and Pro launches go live instantly; Free launches are reviewed by an admin first.
Keep it current. updated_at is exposed so agents can prefer fresh listings.
