That private repo deserves more than two friends who couldn't install it.
The Part Nobody Tells You About Building
You spent a weekend with Cursor or Claude Code. You have something that works. It solves a real problem — at least for you, probably for others. And it's sitting in a private GitHub repo, untouched since the last commit.
The gap between "finished" and "shipped" isn't talent. It's friction. Landing pages, Stripe accounts, translation, support emails before a single sale. Most side projects die here, not in the code.
What teum.io Actually Is
It's a marketplace for AI software assets — prompts, bots, plugins, agents, workflows, toolkits. The kind of thing you build in a weekend and then don't know what to do with.
The listing flow is unusually short. You paste a GitHub URL. The AI reads your repo and writes a product description. You review it, adjust if you want, and publish. Five minutes is a realistic estimate, not a marketing claim.
From there, auto-translation handles nine languages: English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, German, French, Hebrew, Arabic, Hindi, Dutch. One listing, fourteen markets, no extra work from you.
Why This Matters Right Now
The number of people building small, functional AI tools has jumped fast. The infrastructure for selling them hasn't kept up.
You could set up Gumroad, write your own copy, handle taxes, and figure out international payouts. Or you could skip all of that. teum.io handles Stripe Connect payouts in 14 countries — you don't set up your own Stripe account.
There's also an escrow detail worth knowing: payment releases after the buyer confirms the tool works. That's not standard. It lowers the risk for first-time buyers, which means fewer reasons for them to hesitate.
You keep 80% at the base tier.
A Concrete Example
Say you built a Claude prompt toolkit for turning rough meeting notes into structured action items. It works great in your own workflow. You've tested it. The problem: nobody can figure out how to run it from a README.
Instead of building a landing page:
- Go to teum.io/sell
- Paste your GitHub URL
- The AI generates a plain-language description, input/output examples, and suggested tags
- You publish — and it's immediately listed in English, Korean, Japanese, and six other languages
A developer in Seoul and a consultant in Amsterdam can both find it without you doing anything differently for each market.
The listing doesn't require you to write marketing copy. It doesn't require you to know what "positioning" means. It just needs your repo.
What to Try Next
If you have something that works and the only reason it's not listed somewhere is setup friction — this removes most of that friction.
You already built the hard part. The listing takes five minutes. Paste your GitHub URL at teum.io/sell and see what the AI writes about your project. You might find it describes your tool better than you would have.
You already shipped it. Now ship it.
