I gave my heart, my soul, and everything else into this...

Hey everyone,

I’m Maxime, 100% self-taught.

I don’t usually talk much about my process, but I have a confession: I absolutely hate the "marketing" part of being a founder. I love building. I love automation. But when it comes to launching? The soul-crushing manual work of submitting to 50+ directories to get backlinks (Product Hunt, BetaList, etc.) makes me want to quit before I even start.

For years, I did it the "hard way." Open 20 tabs, copy the description, paste the description. Copy the logo, upload the logo. Select the tags... over and over.

I tried "form fillers," but let’s be honest: they are mostly useless for launchers. They don't understand context. They break on dropdowns. They can't handle image uploads. I spent more time "fixing" the auto-fill than it would have taken to just do it manually.

And that’s when I said: 👉 “Okay, screw it, I’ll build a real AI that actually reads the page and submit to directories.”

I’m not going to lie: This was the hardest thing I’ve ever coded. I spent months in a "grind" mode, 12 hours a day, trying to solve the "Universal Form Problem." The challenge isn't just filling text; it's the fact that forms are coded completely differently everywhere. I had to build an AI agent that doesn't just "map fields" but actually reads and interacts with the page like a human handling weird dropdowns, custom tags, and those annoying file uploaders that always break

But last week, I finally cracked it. 🤯

I took a new project and submitted it to 15 directories in the time it used to take me to do one.

  • It handles the complex stuff (tags, dropdowns, pricing models…).
  • It automatically matches the right logo and screenshots to the right fields.
  • It doesn't just "paste" text; it contextually understands what each directory is asking for.

It's called Auto Directory Submission. It’s the tool I built so I never have to experience "launcher burnout" again**.**

👉 https://auto-submission-directories.com

To make the launch process even easier, I’ve also compiled a master list of 1,000+ directories where you can submit your company.

Would love to hear your feedback or answer any questions about the tech behind it!

With all my love ❤️
