Launch and Promotion

Launch and Promotion

This page records the public positioning and launch assets for AgentDesk.

One-Liner

AgentDesk turns failed AI agent runs into clickable, replayable evidence bundles.

Short Pitch

AgentDesk is a local visual debugger for AI agent workflows. Run or import a workflow, click from trace events to graph nodes, inspect prompts, tool calls, results, artifacts, costs, and validation issues, replay failed steps, and export redacted evidence.

What Makes It Different

AgentDesk is not trying to be another workflow builder. Its value is the debugging loop:

• which node failed
• what prompt/tool/result happened
• what artifacts were captured
• what it cost
• what graph issue may have caused it
• what evidence can be exported safely

Recommended Promotion Channels

Prioritize developer communities where a local debugging tool is useful:

• Hacker News Show HN
• Product Hunt
• Reddit communities around local AI, Ollama, MCP, open source, and self-hosting
• Dev.to or Hashnode technical article
• GitHub Discussions and community spaces
• LangGraph, CrewAI, Ollama, MCP, Vercel AI SDK, OpenAI, and Anthropic developer communities where self-promotion is allowed
• Awesome lists for MCP clients, Ollama tools, and AI agent tooling

Launch Sequence

1. Confirm NPM command works.
2. Confirm README GIF and screenshots render.
3. Confirm GitHub Wiki and Discussions are populated.
4. Confirm open issues are intentional and labeled.
5. Post technical article.
6. Launch Show HN.
7. Launch Product Hunt.
8. Share short clips on X/LinkedIn.
9. Submit to awesome lists and directories.
10. Answer every meaningful comment quickly.

Discussion Threads

Seeded discussions should guide user energy:

• launch announcement
• roadmap vote
• help thread
• show-and-tell for broken traces

The goal is to make the repo feel active without pretending there is a large community before one exists.
