CitableHub
CitableHub is a discovery engine that structures software projects to be citable by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. It generates an AI-optimized profile that enhances existing metadata (such as llms.txt) to enterprise-grade trust, making projects readable and recommendable by AI systems. The platform also provides a step-by-step promotion checklist with ready-to-paste copy and links to directories, helping projects gain visibility beyond traditional search engines. Users can list unlimited projects for free, track clicks, saves, and ranking movements through a dashboard, and access a directory where real users can discover tools. CitableHub is designed for founders, indie developers, and creators who want their projects to be found where AI looks for answers, not just on Google.
