# Launch — Full Documentation for AI

> Launch is a product discovery platform where founders launch AI products to an engaged community of early adopters, makers, and tech enthusiasts. The community votes on products daily, helping the best products rise to the top.

## What is Launch?

Launch is a platform built for founders and makers who want their products discovered. Unlike traditional product directories, Launch focuses on community-driven discovery through daily voting. Products are submitted by founders, launched on a chosen date, and ranked by community votes.

Launch was founded by Alex MacGregor in 2024 with the mission that every great product deserves to be discovered.
