"ChatGPT is already recommending CitableHub — every project inside gets structured to be cited next."
Built a directory that makes indie projects citable by AI (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini). Each listing gets schema.org markup, FAQPage JSON-LD, and an llms.txt file — so when someone asks an AI "what's a good tool for X?", the engine has something real to pull from.
Checked the admin panel today: new projects coming in tagged "via ChatGPT" as their discovery source. People are literally finding the directory because an AI told them about it.
What's under the hood:
Every project profile is structured for machines, not just humans
An "Intent Map" lets owners write the exact Q&A pairs people ask AI about their space — those get baked into the structured data
A citability score (/100) shows how ready your project is to be cited
Cross-platform corroboration between the directory and a content platform so AI engines see multiple independent sources
Numbers after 10 days (no paid anything):
174 users
657 projects listed
Referrals from Google Search, ChatGPT, Perplexity, YouTube, GitHub, Reddit
$850 revenue from optional boost feature
The thesis: most founders optimize for Google. Almost nobody optimizes for AI answer engines yet. That gap is closing fast — the ones who get structured now will be the ones AI cites later.
Free to list. It's called CitableHub — drop your project and get a citability score in 2 minutes.
