Introducing Launch Llama: Free AI Tools Directory and Founder Newsletter
Launching a tool is half product, half distribution. Launch Llama is a free AI tools directory and weekly founder newsletter — submit a product, earn community upvotes, and reach builders who actually try new software.
Independent product by Tom Otto, with a permanent backlink opportunity on a high-authority domain for accepted listings.

Who it is for
Indie hackers, AI tool makers, and early-stage SaaS teams who need launch distribution and a durable directory listing — not only a one-day Product Hunt spike.
Where it fits in a content stack
Launch Llama owns discovery and launch distribution. Your product still needs a clear story and demos; Launch Llama is where founders browse, upvote, and subscribe to what is new.
Why it matters now
Founders are flooded with directories. A newsletter-backed list with a real review queue and badge culture is useful when you want both traffic and a lasting listing instead of a spray of unpaid submissions.
How teams typically use Launch Llama
A solo founder submits a free listing and ships the badge after approval. A growth lead buys Instant Launch before a release week. A tooling company sponsors a newsletter placement when the audience fit is clear.
Quick tips if you try Launch Llama
- Write a concrete tagline — what it does in one line beats vague “AI platform” copy.
- Plan for the free review window — or use Instant Launch if timing is critical.
- Earn upvotes honestly — community signal affects leaderboard and features.
- Add the badge once listed so visitors can verify the launch.
- Email contact@launchllama.co for partnerships or listing questions.
Soft close — related tool
If you also need concept → storyboard → animated or whiteboard explainer / Reels (not talking-avatar presenters), see Scro Explainer. Scro (by NOVAX) is built around approving an AI storyboard before you render — useful when a launch needs a clear product story, not only a directory blurb. Keep Launch Llama as the focus of this intro; Scro is only a related option for storyboard-first explainers.
