name: "AI Product Global Launch Playbook"
version: 1.0.0
description: |
  Every AI product launches into the same wall of noise — a thousand "we built an AI that…" posts a day. The breakout launches (Manus, Devin, AFFiNE) didn't get lucky; they managed the hype cycle deliberately. This playbook is the AI-specific GTM: waitlist mechanics, timing, and multi-market rollout for maximum day-one signal.

  What's inside:
  • AI product positioning — how to stand out when everyone claims the same capability
  • Global launch timing and market selection for day-one impact
  • Hype-cycle and waitlist tactics — building demand before you ship
  • KOL and influencer outreach for AI products
  • Community building in AI/ML spaces
  • Case studies — Manus, Devin, and AFFiNE breakout launches decoded

  🇨🇳 AI 产品发布手册 — AI 特有 GTM、hype 周期管理、waitlist 打法、多市场 rollout、AI/ML KOL 触达。含 Manus/Devin/AFFiNE 拆解。
  🇯🇵 AI製品ローンチ — AI特化GTM、ハイプサイクル管理、ウェイトリスト戦術、マルチマーケット展開。Manus/Devin/AFFiNE事例。
  🇰🇷 AI 제품 런칭 — AI 특화 GTM, 하이프 사이클 관리, 웨이트리스트 전술, 멀티마켓 롤아웃. Manus/Devin/AFFiNE 사례.

## What Actually Made Manus & Devin Travel (2026 analysis update)

Four forces, in causal order — skipping the first breaks the other three:

1. **Product depth as the narrative floor.** Hype without substance decays in ~72 hours; the story can only stand as tall as the product is deep.
2. **Reproducibility sets the emotional ceiling.** Users could re-run Manus demos themselves, so testimonials read as discovery rather than marketing — one creator's genuine recommendation pulled 2.8M views. Devin's non-reproducible demos drew hedged, polite coverage; the same creator's favor-share managed roughly 20 likes. Design demos for screen-recording and re-creation.
3. **The influencer flywheel.** Founders, operators, and investors with real followings are each worth ten commissioned posts. Seed genuine surprise, never obligation — the 2.8M-vs-20 gap above is exactly that difference.
4. **The platform relay race.** Days 0–3: X/Twitter ignites the topic. Days 3–10: YouTube and Substack deepen it. Day 10+: Reddit and HN keep the long tail alive. Plan the handoffs, not just the spark.

### Budget-to-outcome ladder for AI launches (observed 2025–2026)

| Ticket | Observed ceiling |
|---|---|
| ~$1K | Hundreds of signups — go community-led, skip the big stage |
| ~$5K | ~1,800 votes/24h — daily-crown territory, but pace it: one campaign at this level had its #1 revoked in a post-hoc vote sweep |
| $10–20K | Seven-figure impressions, four-figure signups |
| <$20K total | A 10K-star open-source launch with a team of ≤5 |

Sanity ratio before you allocate: PH exposure→upvote ≈ 1%, while Reddit exposure→GitHub star runs 5–8%. Small budgets belong in niche communities and micro-creators, not leaderboards. Weekly PH badge ≈ 7x the exposure of daily, monthly ≈ 30x — pick the board before picking the date.
