Strategy to launch free ai tools on Producthunt?

On my quest to improve SEO for my product's website, I have built a free ai wrapper that I will launch on PH on monday.

Why Monday? Because Monday is usally when you get the most traffic. I've been mostly following the steps of this guide by Sveta Bay (great guide btw) but does launching free tools automatically gets features by influencers and ai newsletters?

I guess you would need to be on top 5 for that atleast, right? But to get on the top 5 you need a good combination of product + marketing, but am i not doing as a marketing activity for my actual product? infinite loop lol
