vibelaunched generates launch kits for vibe-coded apps. There are 80 places to launch an app: Product Hunt, Hacker News, Indie Hackers, directories, catalogs, and more. Each one has its own copy limits, image dimensions, and submission rules. Getting all of that right, for even a handful of platforms, takes real time. Paste your app's URL. vibelaunched checks your live page, matches it against real requirements for 80+ platforms, and generates ready-to-paste prompts for copy, graphics, and video, each one built to that platform's exact specs (character counts, image sizes, video formats — all baked in). Run the prompts through the AI agent you already use: Claude Code, Cursor, or any coding agent. It writes the actual assets. You paste them into the platform. vibelaunched also auto-detects where your app has actually launched, so you can see which venues you've covered and which ones are still open. This isn't a directory listing or a generic AI copywriter. It's a launch kit generator built for AI-built apps: comprehensive, tailored to each venue, and automated end to end.

RedLinz is a browser-based visual markup tool built for human-to-AI handoffs. Instead of describing a UI tweak in words or handing an AI a raw screenshot and hoping it guesses right, you mark up the image directly. Circle, arrow, or annotate with 12 standardized markup symbols — circle, arrow, rectangle, X stamp, checkmark, callout, number stamp, and more — each carrying meaning the AI can parse. RedLinz then exports a structured prompt with exact coordinates and labels instead of a flat image, so the agent stops guessing which element you meant. Works with Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Grok — or any AI tool that reads text and images. All annotation happens client-side; images never leave your browser. Free forever for 5 markups/month, no card required. Upgrade to Pro ($8/mo or $82/yr) for unlimited, watermark-free exports.

Your head is no place to run a business. The thing you promised in Slack. The follow-up from this morning's call. The update three people are waiting on. A promise made in a conversation has no home, so following through depends on you remembering. AI has given every business unlimited interns: highly capable, endlessly willing, but you do the training. You brief them, hand them the context and check what comes back, and next time they start from scratch. readywhen works like the most senior person in your business. It never starts from scratch: it knows what you've promised and where you're heading, and it has an opinion about what that means. “Not that, this first.” Here's how it works. Connect your tools and it learns your business on its own: how you write, what you sell, who your customers are. You maintain nothing. It catches every commitment you make, every decision and promise from every call, meeting, note and Slack thread, the moment it's made. Nothing lives only in you
