Nothing on this page you have to take on faith

39tools, so your agent runs the whole site
Listings, categories, blog, domains, analytics, moderation. You never open a dashboard to change something, and there is no API key to generate or paste.

Correct a price in the chat, switch to the tab, it's there. No build, no deploy, no static export to wait for.

The part nobody posts about

Directories are a good business. Yours never shipped.

You picked the niche months ago. Then came the part nobody posts about: sources to find, pages to scrape, and no two listings describing themselves with the same fields.

Then categories. Then structured data, a sitemap, a domain, and the moment you realise every typo fix means another deploy.

The folder is still on your machine. It has never earned a euro.

The work is real. It just isn't the work you should be doing.

Why not just ask ChatGPT

A chatbot writes about your niche. This one models it.

Three things you do not get from a conversation, a template, or a WordPress plugin.

  • It designs the fields first

    Ask a chatbot for a directory and you get prose. Here you get typed fields, and every listing is validated against them.

    design_listing_schema

  • Edits land while you're still typing

    Fix a price in the chat, refresh the page, it's there. Nothing rebuilds, nothing redeploys.

    ~0.1s to the live page

  • Built to be found

    Structured data, a sitemap, breadcrumbs, and pages generated from the searches that returned nothing.

A directory running in production

No template ships with these fields

This is the listing schema an agent wrote for a directory of French gun shops, a niche with its own legal vocabulary. Nobody would have guessed that a listing here needs a French weapons-class field, or a flag for delivery to a partner shop. The agent asked what the niche needs, then built it.

The field labels are in French because the directory is. Each directory is monolingual, in its own language.

No two look alike

Six designs. None of them ugly.

Same listing, six presets. Your agent picks a taste, not a hex code: the palette, the typeface, the radius and the card treatment all come with it.

Getting started

Three steps, one of them is a copy-paste

There is no onboarding wizard. The product is the connection between your agent and your directory.

  1. 01

    Connect your agent

    One command in Claude Code, or the same URL pasted into ChatGPT or Cursor. It opens a browser to log you in. Nothing to generate, nothing to store.

  2. 02

    Describe your niche

    The agent designs the listing schema, runs the research, drafts the listings and sorts them into categories. Research output arrives as drafts, so you review before anything goes public.

  3. 03

    Publish

    A free subdomain serves the site straight away. Add your own domain when you want Google to index it.

In your terminal
claude mcp add --transport http directoryfast https://directoryfa.st/api/mcp/mcp

Social proof

Makers have been saying this for a while

Real people, real handles, every quote one click from its author. Gathered on Product Hunt and X when DirectoryFast launched.

Directories are the next big thing. I advise beginner makers to make a directory first. It is a great first step. Much better than a SaaS because one can procrastinate with SaaS for years without even starting doing marketing. With directory you can finish building within a week (or a day if you use an advanced tool like Directoryfast) and go to the hardest part — promoting it.
Alexander Isora@alexanderisorax
Directories are underrated! Can be a great passive revenue stream. Cool to see this, I know where to start next time I build one!
Dan Mindru@d4m1n
I know how hard it is to build a directory and DirectoryFast definitely takes the pain away by providing a solid foundation. Great work!
Marvin@lockinmarv
Awesome product that released in the right time! I was watching Dany for some time on twitter building his own directories and I'm already 100% sure that the quality is there and all the features needed to run the directory included.
Igor Krasnik@igorkrasnik
I tried Directory Fast, and it's super easy to set up. Dany is showing us how fast and simple it is to use his directory tool by regularly creating multiple directories.
João Aguiam@joaoaguiam
Love this product, you know that directories is my thing right? Completely recommend!
Sergiu Chiriac@s_chiriac
This is an absolutely helpful product for those who want to build a directory product. Classic. A must buy and ride the directory wave :)
Tejas Rane@tejas3732
A product that solves a real problem for people looking to build online directories! Built by the legend himself 👏
Rob Hallam@robj3d3
Wish you had released this before I built my directory
Carl Poppa@poppacalypse
Directories are fire these days so having a tool to quickly build them seems line a cool idea!
PL Bompard@plbompard
Directories sure is a hot topic at the moment 🔥

Objections

Before you sign up

Is this for me?

You need an AI chat that speaks MCP: Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. If one of them is open right now, you have everything you need and the connection takes a single command. If not, this is not the right product for you yet.

What if it doesn't work for my niche?

The free plan takes no card. Build the directory, look at what the agent produced, and pay only when you want your own domain on it. If the niche turns out to be thin, you will know before spending anything.

Why not just use a directory template?

A template gives you a grid and asks you to fill it. It does not know that gun shops need a French weapons-class field, or that coffee roasters need bean origins. The agent designs those fields, then keeps running the site afterwards: publishing, correcting, writing, reading the analytics.

How long until I see results?

The site is online the same day. Indexing runs on a different clock: it needs a custom domain, and then Google takes weeks, not hours. Anyone promising you rankings on a schedule is guessing. Start on the free plan and judge the content first.

What's the catch?

Free directories are noindex, deliberately. Free subdomains attract SEO spam, and one spam site would drag down the reputation of the domain everyone else sits on. So the free plan is a real product for building and testing, and €29 a month is what makes a directory findable.

Last thing

Your agent is already open.

Give it a niche. Come back to a directory that's online.
