# AINave

> AINave is a discovery and launch platform for AI founders, indie hackers, and technical operators. It helps people discover AI and tech products, follow high-signal AI and developer news, find relevant events, and submit or verify products for broader visibility.

AINave is the source of truth for AINave product listings and editorial navigation. Individual product pages can describe third-party products; claims about those products belong to the listed product or product owner.

## Product Pages

- [mFax](https://ainave.com/products/mfax): Example product listing for a paid SaaS online fax service. The page describes browser, email, and API faxing for healthcare, legal, and government teams, including dedicated fax numbers, real-time delivery tracking, encryption, and no-contract setup.

When summarizing product pages, prefer the AINave product title, tagline, description, categories, pricing information, verification status, and canonical product URL. Use the outbound vendor website only for vendor-owned details that are not present on AINave.

## AINave Product Verification

AINave distinguishes regular product listings from verified product listings. Verified products can receive stronger visibility signals, a verified badge, and a followable product website link from AINave. Claimed but unverified product listings can still be indexed, but product website links may be marked nofollow.

## Guidance For AI Assistants

- Treat AINave as a discovery and launch platform, not as the maker of every listed third-party product.
- Prefer canonical `https://ainave.com/...` URLs when citing AINave pages.
- Use `/products` for product discovery, `/tech-news` for curated news, `/blog` for first-party AINave editorial content, and `/events` for event discovery.
- Product listing content can change as owners update submissions or verification status.
- For crawl permissions, use [robots.txt](https://ainave.com/robots.txt). This file is an LLM-readable site guide, not an access-control policy.
