I've been working on something called The Capital over the past few weeks.

Most AI directories are useful for getting a listing, but after that there isn't much reason to come back. I wanted to experiment with a different approach.

Instead of only listing products, founders can join a weekly community competition where people vote for their favorite AI tools. Every week there's a live leaderboard, so builders can keep improving their ranking and share it with their audience.

The top 3 projects each week receive:

🏆 Featured placement on the homepage
📬 A feature in the newsletter
⭐ A permanent place in the Hall of Fame
✍️ A Founder Spotlight article

Last week 72 founders took part, and seeing founders support each other's launches has been the most rewarding part of building it.

Right now it's free to join while I continue improving the platform based on founder feedback.

If you're building an AI product and think it would fit, leave a comment or send me a DM and I'll explain how it works.

And if you're not building AI...

What are you working on this week? I'm always looking for interesting projects to follow.

I've spent the last few weeks working on a project called The Capital.

One thing I noticed is that most directories give you a listing... and that's pretty much the end of it.

I wanted to build something a bit different.

Instead of just collecting products, founders compete every week on a community leaderboard where people vote for the tools they like most.

The weekly winners get:

• 🏆 Featured on the homepage
• 📧 Included in the newsletter
• ⭐ A permanent Hall of Fame spot
• ✍️ A dedicated Founder Spotlight article

Last week we had 72 founders competing, and seeing founders share their pages and support each other has been the best part so far.

It's completely free while I'm building it, since I'm mainly looking for feedback and great founders to feature.

If you're building an AI product and think it might be a good fit, leave a comment or send me a DM and I'll tell you how it works.

Otherwise...

What are you building this week? I'd love to check it out.

I´ll go first,

This week I've been building The Capital, a weekly competition for AI founders.

The idea came from noticing that most AI directories stop after you submit your product. I wanted to build something that gives founders a reason to keep coming back.

Every week founders compete on a live leaderboard, share their ranking with their communities, and climb through community voting.

The Top 3 receive:

• Homepage visibility
• Newsletter exposure
• A permanent Hall of Fame spot
• A dedicated Founder Spotlight article for the weekly champion

Last week we had 72 founders competing, and it's been really fun watching founders support each other and share their leaderboard pages.

It's completely free to join while I'm continuing to improve it and gather feedback from the community. So this is not an ad to make money just to create a bigger community of founders!

If you're building an AI product and think it could be a good fit, leave a comment or send me a DM and I'll happily tell you more or if you want to submit straight away, click the link in my bio!

Curious what everyone else is building this week too!
