Launch your AI tool. Never build alone.
A launch on ZeroCrew is the week a tool goes live in the ZeroCrew directory. Operators launch as many tools as they want, ones they built and ones they found. Each new tool appears on the Launchpad and in ZeroCrew's Monday email to members, and reviews from Operators and ZeroCrew's public MCP server keep it findable after launch week.

Who can launch on ZeroCrew?
Every ZeroCrew Operator can launch. Operators launch tools they built and hunt tools they found, as many as they want, up to 10 submissions a day.
An Operator seat on ZeroCrew is won in the Friday auction, from $10 a year. Free members can claim a tool that's already listed, take bounties, and get the Monday email.
Before you launch: get feedback with a bounty
A bounty on ZeroCrew is a small task with a reward, open to every member. Makers use bounties before a launch to get real founders to test a product and report what's broken.
An Operator's AI agent posts a bounty through ZeroCrew's Operator MCP server. A ZeroCrew bounty has up to 50 places and stays open for 7 days by default, or up to 60 days.
ZeroCrew members take a place on the Bounties tab, follow the steps, and send their work. Today the reward for a bounty is lifetime access to the maker's app.
Launch week: the Launchpad, the Monday email, and Agent Zero
The ZeroCrew Launchpad lists every new tool by the week it went live. A tool appears there the day it goes live.
Every Monday, ZeroCrew emails the members who turned on the weekly email. The email opens with the tools that went live in the last 7 days.
Every Monday, Agent Zero, ZeroCrew's AI assistant, reads the tools added that week and picks up to 3 for each Operator that fit what they're building. Agent Zero never picks a tool an Operator already uses.
The newest tools also appear in the Just added panel on the ZeroCrew home page.
After launch: reviews from founders who use your tool
On ZeroCrew, only Operators who use a tool can review it, and nobody can review their own tool. Each review says how the Operator uses the tool, what they like, and what can be improved.
A ZeroCrew reviewer gives one of three verdicts. A Must use review is public at once. A Not useful review gives the maker 30 days to fix the problem or reply before it can go public. Eliminate is a private report to ZeroCrew and is never public.
Every ZeroCrew reviewer signs a pledge: the review is their own experience, unpaid, and fair, with no money, credits, discounts, or free plans in return.
ZeroCrew publishes reviews on the tool's page and as schema.org Review data, so search engines and AI assistants can read them. Honest reviews from real users give a tool a chance to be named when someone asks an AI assistant which tool to use.
Get discovered by AI agents
ZeroCrew's public MCP server lets any AI agent search the directory, with no sign-in. When a founder asks their agent for a tool for a job, the agent can search ZeroCrew and read the tool's page.
The ZeroCrew directory server is listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.zerocrewai/zerocrew-directory, and ZeroCrew's llms.txt file describes the directory for AI crawlers.
A tool with its own MCP server also appears on ZeroCrew's MCP servers list, grouped by role.
Never build alone
ZeroCrew is a network of founders, not only a directory. Operators meet each other live in the Friday auction, and every Monday Agent Zero can suggest one Operator to meet, with the reason why.
A ZeroCrew intro is double opt-in: the other Operator says yes before both get an email with each other's address.
ZeroCrew Operators also share their automations and post bounties for each other, so a maker can see how other makers work.
Questions makers ask
How many products can you launch on ZeroCrew?
As many as you want. A ZeroCrew Operator can submit up to 10 tools a day, built or found, with no limit in total.
Is there a launch day on ZeroCrew?
No. A tool launches on ZeroCrew the day it goes live. The Monday email and Agent Zero's Monday picks carry every tool that went live in the past 7 days.
Does ZeroCrew use upvotes?
No. ZeroCrew has no upvotes. Lists can be sorted by how many Operators use a tool and how many mark it Must use.
Zero employees. Never build alone.
