Verified AI Launch Intelligence
See what launched, what changed, and what it costs.
Track AI product launches, model updates, pricing changes and tested workflows. Each record separates official sources, company claims, Kingy testing and third-party evidence so you can see what is known and what remains unverified.
Editorial submissions and sponsor-fit reviews are separate. Payment does not influence Kingy scores, verdicts, rankings, evidence labels, or publication decisions.

Score definitions and rubric
These are launch-record readiness heuristics, not product ratings.
Launch readiness
How complete and reviewable the launch record is, not the quality of the product.
Inputs and weights: Launch date 15%; qualifying source 10%; what launched 10%; demo 15%; category 10%; audience 10%; editorial assessment 10%; traction evidence 10%; creator or audience fit 10%.
Evidence inputs: Reviewed launch metadata, public source links, demo links, taxonomy, audience, editorial notes, and recorded traction signals.
Demo evidence
Whether the record contains useful, reviewable demonstration evidence; it is not a rating of product output quality.
Inputs and weights: Working demo URL 45%; video walkthrough 25%; clear description of what launched 10%; audience 10%; editorial assessment 10%.
Evidence inputs: Demo and video URLs plus the reviewed launch description, audience, and editorial notes.
Creator-story fit
Whether a launch has enough demonstrable evidence and audience relevance for a useful creator story; it does not predict views or guarantee coverage.
Inputs and weights: Demo evidence 25%; visual creator category 15%; audience 15%; editorial assessment 15%; traction evidence 10%; pricing clarity 10%; API or open-weight evidence 10%.
Evidence inputs: Reviewed demo, category, audience, editorial, traction, pricing, API, and open-weight fields.
- Scale
- 0.0–10.0. A present qualifying input receives its published weight; a missing input receives zero. Scores are rounded to one decimal.
- Assigned by
- Suggested by the deterministic field-completeness helper and assigned or approved by a Kingy editorial reviewer.
- Rubric and check date
- Rubric version P0-2026-08-10. The record’s “Last verified” date is the score check date. Checked: 2026-07-09.
- Confidence and missing data
- Confidence depends on source completeness. “Not scored yet” means no reviewed value; “Needs review” means the value or score set failed validation.
- Freshness
- Recalculate after a material launch, source, demo, pricing, audience, or traction change and during the record freshness review.
- Disputes
- Use “Suggest a correction” on the record and cite the relevant evidence. Commercial relationships cannot buy or alter a score.

The Kingy AI Referral Index
AI assistants sent 1.3279% of kingy.ai's own traffic. Published studies put the web-wide figure anywhere from under 1% to 25%. The index reconciles them, catalogued by method.
Methodology
How Kingy AI Scores Launches
Kingy AI scoring is designed for launch discovery, editorial review, creator planning, and buyer trust checks.
Kingy score
A directional editorial score for launch clarity, source quality, audience fit, pricing visibility, demo usefulness, and practical buyer or creator value.
Demo score
A signal for whether the product can be shown, tested, explained, or compared without relying on vague announcement copy.
YouTube potential
A creator-fit signal for demos, tutorials, before-and-after workflows, explainers, reviews, and audience-specific product education.
Source verification
Records distinguish verified, needs verification, and founder submitted status using official URLs, source links, last-verified dates, and correction paths.
Pricing clarity
Pricing signals favor launches with visible pricing, free-plan status, pricing pages, API access notes, or clear uncertainty when pricing is not public.
Use-case clarity
Launches are easier to evaluate when the audience, workflow, category, demo, and alternative comparison are obvious from public sources.
Founder and sponsor fit
Founder submissions and sponsor interest are routing signals only; editorial review still checks source quality, public claims, demo clarity, and usefulness.
Verification labels
Verified means enough public source evidence is present, needs verification means the record needs more checking, and founder submitted means the entry came through the submission path.
Scores are editorial signals, not scientific benchmarks, paid placements, or guarantees.
Founder submission
Submit Your AI Launch
Founders can send a launch for editorial review when the public source trail is ready to verify.
