Builder guide

Have these ready before you open the submit flow:

• A Protograms account (sign in through the web app)
• A demo video or photo showing your live AI product in action
• A public try URL that works in Safari or Chrome without extra setup
• Title, short description, vision statement, category, and optional tags

Video is the primary format for the feed. Record your live product working in real time as a vertical reel. Photos are accepted, but video performs best for discovery.

• Place text and logos within the center safe zone.
• Use the highest available resolution. Media is optimized on upload.
• Videos play muted and loop in the feed.

After uploading media, complete the remaining fields in the submit form:

• Title — clear name for your product
• Description — short summary shown in the feed
• Vision — what you are building and why it matters
• Category — helps explorers find your product
• Tags and collaborators — optional discovery and attribution

Every listing needs a public URL where explorers can use your product. This is the link opened when someone taps Try on your reel.

• Must load in a standard mobile or desktop browser
• Should not require a private invite or unsupported browser extension
• Can be your app URL, signup page, or live demo environment
• Protograms validates the link before publish

Sign in to the web app and open Submit. Upload your demo video, fill in product details, add your try link, and publish. Your listing appears in discover feeds once submitted.

1. Open the web app and sign in
2. Go to Submit from the navigation
3. Upload your demo video (Step 1 · Media)
4. Complete product details and try link
5. Submit — your reel enters the consumer feed

After publish, track how your product performs from the builder dashboard:

After you add your Try link on Submit, check the in-feed preview. If it loads, you are done. If it keeps spinning or fails, apply one of these on your deployed app (not inside Protogram):

Signed-in builders can open the in-app guide for copy-paste snippets, platform reference, and a pre-submission checklist.

Media specifications for feed uploads:

Media displays full screen in the feed. Position critical content within the center safe zone. Landscape and wide formats are accepted. Content will be center-cropped to fill the feed. A 9:16 vertical crop is recommended for optimal presentation.
