For AI tools the catalog layer is not three launches

When I launch an AI tool I used to book three launch days across TAAFT, FutureTools, and Toolify like they were Product Hunt. That was a mistake. Those sites are a catalog layer. They work better as one coverage pass, not three separate adrenaline mornings.

EarlyHunt is the AI angled weekly Hunt board I run for the spotlight piece. Monday 8:00am UTC, seven days on the homepage, Free plus about $19 Premium, BLP around 60. That is the room where hunters show up and I can answer questions for a week.

Then the directories. TAAFT around BLP 77, FutureTools around 71, Toolify around 72. I list once across that set as coverage, not as three launches. Hugging Face around BLP 70 only if there is a model or Space demo. On Product Hunt Alternatives the top alternatives lately skew Peerlist, Uneed, BetaList, Aura++ and so on. Product Hunt is still the baseline people compare against, but it is not automatically number one on every alternative list.

So the AI checklist got simpler. One weekly hunt room for attention. One catalog sweep for discovery. Hugging Face only when the demo belongs there. I stopped pretending every form was a launch day.

Do you treat TAAFT, Toolify, and FutureTools as launches, or as listings?
