The first line is “Let your app choose the right model, tool, or action in near real-time with Decisions API, now available…”. It carries a 1:12 video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 603K views in the directory.
The copy runs 41 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41. The body carries a link, so the post had somewhere to send the reader and paid a little reach for it.
It went out on a Tuesday. Launches posted on a Tuesday have a median of 651K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
The waitlist launch guide covers this: the call to action was a queue, and the four days after decide what the queue is worth. For the next one, read giving people something to reply to: the conversation is what carried this one.
What viral AI launches share is the guide for it: model launches are the largest category in the directory and travel on the demo. This launch sits in the Developer Tool and Frontier Lab directories.
