Agent playbook

Give this to your MCP agent (bz_get_launch_playbook) or follow it yourself. Pause before paid steps.

Before you start

  • Use your product brief: one-liner, URL, logo, 2–3 screenshots, founder email.
  • Pause before any paid upgrade, badge or backlink requirement.

Steps

  1. Open https://alternativeto.net/manage/new/ and sign in (Google or email).
  2. Start a new listing for AlternativeTo.
  3. Paste approved copy only — no invented metrics.
  4. Upload logo and screenshots; match category to your product.
  5. Submit and save the confirmation email or pending URL.

After submit

  • Record status submitted in your launch tracker with the listing URL when you have one.
  • Check back in 3–7 days; move to live when the public page is up.

Gotchas

  • Review queues can take days to weeks.
  • Some routes need an existing account or karma/reputation.

Track status per startup on your app's launch tracker.
