# Launch Simulator

> Generate schema-based Product Hunt launch simulations with multiple AI models

<Info>
  Launch Simulator is the most **playful** app in the repo -- but don't let the fun fool you. Under the hood, it's the same serious architecture: validated output, saved generations, model switching, credit gating, and custom result rendering.
</Info>

## What Is This?

Ever wondered how your product would do on Product Hunt? Now you can find out -- sort of.

Fill in a short form about your product, hit generate, and watch the AI simulate your entire launch day. Complete with upvote counts, drama in the comments, and a bingo card of launch-day moments.

It's entertainment-first AI, but built with production-grade patterns.

## What You Get Back

The generated simulation includes structured sections like:

* **Launch stats** -- upvotes, ranking, traffic estimates
* **Timeline events** -- hour-by-hour drama of your launch day
* **Top comments** -- AI-generated community reactions (the good, the bad, and the snarky)
* **Founder profile** -- how the AI sees you as a founder
* **Competitor drama** -- because every launch has haters
* **Bingo card moments** -- the classic launch-day tropes, checked off one by one

All of this is structured data rendered through a custom output component -- not a wall of text.

## How It Works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Describe your product">
    Fill in a short form with your product details. Keep it real -- the AI uses this to craft the simulation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a model">
    Choose which AI model powers your simulation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate your launch">
    The AI returns a multi-section structured simulation that matches the defined schema.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enjoy the show">
    Browse through your simulated launch day. Laugh, cry, share it with your team.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Credit System

Launch Simulator uses the shared credit system. Premium models cost credits, free models don't. No extra billing code needed.

## Great Starting Point For...

Despite the playful surface, this app is a genuinely useful template for:

* **Startup roast tools** -- let AI roast your pitch
* **Report generators** with multiple structured sections
* **Novelty AI products** with shareable outputs
* **Simulations and scenario generators** for any domain
* **Entertainment-first AI tools** that still need real architecture

<Tip>
  The magic trick here: structured schemas + custom renderers = AI outputs that look and feel like a real product, not a ChatGPT screenshot.
