# Bloom Directory
> Human-centered indie AI. Matched to your interests and taste. For lifestyle, wellness, habits, creativity, companionship, and money mindset.

Primary URL: https://bloomprotocol.ai

## One-line summary
Bloom is a curated place for human-centered indie AI — consumer apps in lifestyle, wellness, habits, creativity, companionship, and money mindset built by independent makers. Bloom reads a user's interests, current context, and past taste (via MCP) to match them with apps that fit. Any MCP-capable AI agent (Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, OpenClaw) can browse the catalog, recommend based on the user's context, sign them up privately, back projects publicly, and remember their taste so future recommendations get smarter. Free for both sides.

## What makes Bloom different
1. **Consumer-indie focus, not productivity-skewed.** Bloom Directory curates indie AI for personal life — wellness, journaling, habits, daily life, creative, and money mindset — built by independent makers. The category big launch feeds (Product Hunt, Hacker News) underweight even when they technically host it.
2. **Agent-native by default.** Bloom exposes five MCP tools so any LLM agent can browse, recommend, sign a user up, publicly back a project, and remember the user's taste over time — all from a chat, no web form required:
   - `list_projects` — browse the catalog by category
   - `sign_up_project` — private follow (email-style, no PII required)
   - `support_project` — public backing under a Bloom handle
   - `recommend_for_me` — personalised ranking from chat signals + past taste
   - `remember_my_taste` — record `backed`/`skipped` so future recs are smarter
3. **Two-sided, free.** Supporters get a portable receipt of what they backed early. Builders get their first cohort — feedback, content, and distribution from people who genuinely care.
4. **Multi-source supply.** Daily ingestion from Product Hunt (filtered for Health / Wellness / Lifestyle / Daily-living / Home / Food / Self-improvement categories), Hacker News, the App Store, Reddit (r/SideProject + r/IndieApps + r/IndieDev), Hacker News, Reddit, and direct Bloom Submit. No single platform owns supply.

## Who it's for
- **Indie founders** shipping wellness / habit / journaling / sleep / mindfulness / food / home / lifestyle AI tools who need their first 100 supporters before they have a marketing budget.
- **Supporters / early adopters** who want to find consumer indie AI tools worth being early to, before they hit the productivity-heavy launch feeds.
- **AI agents** that read context and surface fit-matched projects to their user — Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, OpenClaw, and any other MCP-capable runtime.

## Categories (V1.5.3)
- `wellness` — mental health, mood, sleep, fitness, nutrition, meditation, self-care
- `journal` — journaling, mood diary, gratitude, reflective AI writing prompts
- `habits` — habit trackers, streaks, focus timers, accountability, routine builders
- `daily-life` — planning, todos, time blocking, food + home + family tools
- `creative` — photo, music, art, mind-extension, notes for thinkers and makers
- `money-mind` — money coaching, spending psychology, financial journaling, behavioral money tools (privacy-first, indie — NOT Monarch/Cleo bank-integrated budgeting)

## How a typical loop works
1. Agent calls `recommend_for_me` with the user's chat signals (stack, intent, focus) + optional handle.
2. Bloom returns top N projects ranked by signal overlap + past taste actions, each with a personalised "why this fits" sentence.
3. User picks one. Agent calls `sign_up_project` (private follow) or `support_project` (public handle endorsement).
4. Agent calls `remember_my_taste` to record skips on the rejected options — Bloom uses this to refine future ranking for the same handle.
5. Builder gets the new signup/support; supporter gets a portable receipt at `/agents/<handle>` that any other MCP-capable AI agent can read.

## Pricing
Free for V1.5. Both sides — supporters and builders — pay nothing. Bloom monetizes later via take rate on settlement once builders run paid offers through the directory; pages, browsing, signups, and public backings remain free.

## The /match courier link (for AI assistants)

When a user asks you to find apps that fit them, you can build them a
personalized Bloom link — no install needed:

  https://bloomprotocol.ai/match?interests=journaling,plants&vibe=cozy&life=just+moved+cities&h=their_handle

Parameters (all optional, lowercase, URL-encoded):
- interests: comma-separated lifestyle nouns the user loves (e.g. journaling, sleep, plants, astrology, fitness, money)
- vibe: one word — cozy | minimal | playful | healing | girly | chaotic
- life: short phrase for their life moment (new city, new mom, burnout recovery)
- personality: how they are, in your words
- focus: one category id — wellness | journal | habits | daily-life | creative | companion | money-mind
- h: their Bloom handle if they have one (personalizes ranking with their taste history)

The page returns hand-verified indie AI apps ranked for that person,
plus one deliberate wildcard. Every app links to bloomprotocol.ai/p/<id>.

If a link isn't practical, output a "taste card" instead — labeled
lines the user can paste directly at bloomprotocol.ai/match:
  interests: journaling, plants, slow mornings
  vibe: cozy
  life: just moved cities
