Use the Claude Chrome extension to submit your startup to 362 directories
Claude in Chrome is Anthropic’s browser extension: Claude reads pages, clicks and fills in forms in your own Chrome. Pair it with the free Launch Llama connector and Claude works through launch directory submissions for you, using your listing copy and logging every result.
Watch Claude auto-submit to a directory
Set it up in five steps
- Install Claude in Chrome. Add the Claude extension from the Chrome Web Store, pin it to your toolbar and sign in with your Claude account. It runs on desktop Chrome and needs a paid Claude plan.
- Add the Launch Llama connector. In Claude, open the Launch Llama connector in the connectors directory and click Connect, then sign in to Launch Llama. This gives Claude your listing and the directory queue.
- List your product once. Auto-submit starts from your Launch Llama listing, so your name, tagline, descriptions, logo and screenshots are written once and reused everywhere. Listing is free.
- Pick a contact email. Claude asks which address directories should use. Use a role address such as hello@yourdomain, not a personal inbox, so confirmation emails and newsletters land in one place.
- Ask Claude to start. Give Claude a batch size and let it work in a Chrome tab group. You can watch each form fill in, approve steps and stop it at any time.
Then ask: “Auto-submit my Launch Llama listing to the next 10 free directories. Use Chrome for the forms and log each one.”
How auto-submit works
- One manifest from your listing. Launch Llama turns your listing into the copy directories ask for: a 40-character tagline up to a 500-character description, categories, logo, screenshots and a safe contact block. Claude pastes the version that fits each field instead of rewriting it every time.
- A queue of the next free directories. Every run starts with the must-haves (Product Hunt, G2 with Capterra, AlternativeTo and BetaList), each with its own guide. Then Claude gets the next free directories from a vetted catalog of 600+, best backlinks first. Directories you already submitted to, paid-only sites and community posts (Reddit, Hacker News) are skipped.
- A receipt after every attempt. After each directory Claude logs what happened: submitted, waiting for your email confirmation, needs you, or failed. Runs can stop and pick up again without double-submitting, and every receipt ticks your Launch Directories tracker.
The rules Claude follows
- Free paths only. On a checkout or paid-only wall, Claude stops and logs it.
- Your listing copy as written. No invented features, numbers, awards or reviews.
- Only visible fields. Hidden spam-trap inputs stay empty.
- No CAPTCHA solving and no fake accounts. Those are handed back to you.
- Confirmation emails go to you to click, and stay pending until you do.
- Each directory once. Three failures in a row and Claude stops and reports.
Claude in Chrome vs doing it by hand vs a submission service
| Option | Cost | Time | Control |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doing it by hand | Free | Several minutes per directory, every field typed again | Full |
| Done-for-you submission service | Paid | Hands-off for you | Someone else submits, you get a report |
| Claude in Chrome + Launch Llama | Free connector (Claude plan required) | Runs while you watch or work | Full: your copy, your browser, a log of every result |
More ways founders use Claude in Chrome
- Fill in launch forms. Product Hunt drafts, startup programs and accelerator applications, from the same listing copy.
- Research competitors. Read rival landing pages and pricing pages and summarise what they offer. Pair it with Launch Llama’s compare tools.
- Check your own site. Walk through your signup flow, spot broken links and copy issues before you launch.
- Keep listings up to date. When your tagline or pricing changes, update your Launch Llama listing from chat, then revisit directories that allow edits.
Common questions

- Can Claude submit my startup to directories automatically?

- 362. Launch Llama’s catalog has 600+ vetted launch directories, and 362 of them have a free submission path an agent can fill in (271 if your product is not an AI tool, since AI-only directories are skipped).
