Launch Guidelines

Every launch is reviewed by a human before it goes public. These guidelines help your product clear review faster. Questions: business.codehype@gmail.com.

1. What belongs on CodeHype

CodeHype is for AI products people can try — not pitch decks, waitlists without a product, or unrelated software.

Good fits include:

• AI tools and apps
• AI agents and copilots
• AI APIs and developer platforms
• AI startups with a working product

Your listing must make it obvious what the product does in one clear sentence. If a visitor can’t tell what it is from the tagline and description, rewrite it before submitting.

2. Submission quality

• Use your real product website (reachable over HTTPS).
• Write an honest tagline and description — no hype you can’t back.
• Add a clear logo and screenshots when possible.
• Pick the most accurate category, type, and pricing model.
• Founder/company details should identify who ships the product.

3. Review window

We aim to review launches within about 24 hours. That window is a service target — not automatic approval. Overdue items stay pending until a reviewer decides.

4. Not allowed

• Malware, phishing, credential theft, or deceptive downloads
• Scams, fraud, or misleading claims
• Illegal products or services
• Spam, duplicates, or empty / placeholder listings
• Adult content, weapons, drugs, gambling (where prohibited)
• Piracy or IP theft
• Impersonation of brands or people

5. Voting & fairness

Ask your community to upvote — don’t buy votes, run bot farms, or game rankings. Suspected manipulation can lead to removal or ranking adjustments.

6. After rejection or change requests

If we request changes or reject a launch, you’ll see a founder-facing reason in My launches. Edit and resubmit when ready. Previous review history is kept.

7. Ready to launch?
