How real launches run on LaunchEngine.
Two paths, start to finish. An indie maker launching a product, and an agency growing a client’s socials and AI-search presence. Same rule on both: it drafts, you approve, you post.
Path one
Indie maker, launching a SaaS
You have a product and a launch date. Here’s the week, from first open to the day after.
- Step 1 · First open
The Hive maps your launch
Paste your URL. It pulls your branding, then maps every directory, subreddit and community worth your launch — and drafts your Product Hunt, Show HN, r/SideProject and launch-tweet posts. All drafts. Nothing is posted.
- Step 2 · Make it yours
Edit any draft by chatting
“Make the r/SaaS one less salesy.” “List my drafts.” The Hive rewrites in place — no dashboard, no forms. You approve each post from your phone.
- Step 3 · Before launch day
A launch video, without a studio
“Make a launch video.” It writes a script you approve, sends it to your phone as a teleprompter, then asks about b-roll, screenshots and motion graphics before it renders. You get a share-ready video.
- Step 4 · Launch day
Work the list, don’t get banned
“Plan my launch day.” You get an hour-by-hour playbook. At each directory the Chrome companion pre-fills the form — you solve the captcha and hit submit yourself. No auto-posting, no bans.
- Step 5 · After the spike
Keep showing up
The Creator engine keeps you visible: fresh posts drafted daily in each community’s voice, and new communities found for you — still draft-first, still your approval. (Creator, £29/mo.)
Path two
Agency, growing a client
Improve a client’s socials and get them mentioned where AI search looks — at the pace an agency can actually service.
- Step 1 · Onboard the client
Learn their voice
Add the client’s brand and what they sell. The Hive learns their voice so everything it drafts sounds like them, not like you.
- Step 2 · Research
Find where their buyers are
“Find communities for this client.” The Hive researches the subreddits and groups where their buyers actually spend time — no guesswork, no scraping the same three forums everyone else does.
- Step 3 · AI search
Show up where AI looks
Turn on buying-intent mode. The engine watches those communities for people asking for exactly what the client offers, and drafts a genuine recommendation. AI search leans on Reddit heavily, so that’s where a genuine mention has a real shot at being seen. Every comment is a draft you approve and post.
- Step 4 · Every day
Content in their voice
Posts and comments drafted daily for each community, in the client’s voice. You approve from your phone; the companion posts. Nothing goes out unreviewed.
- Step 5 · Outreach
A warm shortlist, not a cold list
“Find influencers in this niche.” You get a shortlist of creators plus a suggested angle for each — a starting point for real outreach, never auto-contacted.
True on every path
What never changes
Draft-first, always
Nothing posts, sends or renders until you approve it. You solve every captcha and hit submit yourself — so the automation that gets launch accounts banned never happens.
AI-SEO is a bet, played well
Getting mentioned where AI search reads is the design intent, not a guaranteed citation. We aim you at the threads AI reads; the recommendation still has to earn its place.
One app, your phone
The Hive, your drafts, your videos and your approvals live in one app. The Creator engine (£29/mo) powers the after-launch and agency workflows.
