What you actually get
A project page and a place in the Launchpad, then eligibility for the weekly chart, scored by their AI judge on originality and quality. Outbound links on chart rows carry rel="noopener" with no nofollow, so the link is followed. Roughly a thousand projects compete for a hundred chart slots.
How to submit to Hot100.ai
1
Sign in with Google
The SUBMIT button does nothing while signed out and /submit bounces back to the chart. SIGN IN goes straight to Google with no other provider on the card.
2
Say who is submitting
A required dropdown with four honest options: founder or team, on behalf of a founder, community member, and agent or automated submission.
3
Title, URL and a 200-character summary
Title caps at 100. The summary cap is 200 and it is easy to overshoot, since the counter only turns red after you have typed.
4
Declare the builder stack
Three searchable pickers, up to two each: model or provider, IDE or agent, and stack or hosting. This is the part that makes the chart what it is.
5
Thumbnail, stage, links, then submit
A thumbnail upload, a stage dropdown, optional maker links, and a required tick that you have reviewed security best practices. Submitting redirects to a builder project page showing Awaiting Review.

Gotchas
The summary cap is 200 characters and the counter only goes red once you are over, so a pasted short description usually needs trimming on the spot.
Signed out, the SUBMIT button is inert and /submit silently redirects to the chart. It looks like a broken route rather than a login wall.
Their model list is versioned and dated, so the exact model you used may not be there. Pick the nearest real one rather than leaving it blank; the stack is the whole point of this chart.
About a thousand projects compete for a hundred chart slots, and the $19 tier buys discovery rather than ranking, which their own copy is careful to say.
Let your agent submit to Hot100.ai
Connect SubmitMap to your AI over MCP and this page stops being something you read and copy. Your agent asks for the Hot100.ai playbook and gets the brief for this exact form, with the values already taken from your submission pack instead of placeholders you fill in by hand.
