How was this list made?
From Gridd's launch tracker: each entry is a company's or founder's own launch post on X, filed under AI when the product's main thing is AI. Views and engagement come from the post itself every six hours, nothing is estimated, and the full data is free to reuse (CC BY 4.0) at https://gridd.agency/launches/data.json. Launches the tracker missed are not counted.

Method: every AI launch from 2026 in Gridd's launch tracker, ranked by the views X shows on the launch post, read every six hours. X's view count includes paid promotion. The tracker holds launches that got noticed, so its median is higher than a typical launch's.
