Writing a good description

Think of it like explaining your product to a smart colleague who's never seen it. Include:

  1. What it does — the core value in one sentence
  2. Who it's for — specific audience (not "everyone")
  3. Key differentiator — why yours, not a competitor
  4. Proof — numbers, customers, traction (if any)

Example:

TaskFlow AI is an AI-powered project management tool that automates sprint planning for remote engineering teams (10-50 people). Unlike Jira, TaskFlow learns your team's velocity and suggests realistic sprint scopes automatically. Used by 200+ teams including Vercel and Linear.

This gives the AI real material to work with.
