Alper Tayfur's profile on Product Hunt

About

👋 Hello, I’m Alper Tayfur — startup founder passionate about the intersection of technology, artificial intelligence, and automation. I design tools that feel like teammates, not platforms — systems that think with you, not for you. 🧠 With a background in start-up and AI-powered workflows, I explore how smart tech can actually empower humans — not replace them. 🏗️ Currently building in public @Awish — a platform where your ideas become automations, just by describing them. 🌱 I believe products grow best when built with communities — not in silos. Topics I love: 🚀 Startups Execution & New Ai Techs 💡 Emerging tech & product innovation 🧠 AI & natural language ⚙️ Automation logic & no-code tools 🫶 Let’s talk smart systems, strange builds, and the tools we wish existed.

Are we using AI to think better or to stop thinking at all?

I've been noticing something lately. We went from using AI as a tool to letting AI become the default for almost everything: writing, deciding, planning, even reflecting.

Need to write an email? AI. Need to make a decision? Ask AI. Need to understand how you feel about something? Believe it or not, AI.

The problem isn't the technology. The problem is that we're quietly outsourcing the one thing that makes us valuable: our ability to think for ourselves.

Would you lie about your company's performance just to get better opportunities?

I think we all lie every day (even when we say "Good night" to someone, and we don't even have to mean it sincerely).

We also lie on our resumes, we don't fully disclose everything on our tax returns, and we sometimes fake income.

What auth provider are you using in your stack, and would you choose it again?

Curious what the community is running for authentication/authorization in their apps (e.g. Auth0, Supabase Auth, Clerk, Firebase Auth, Cognito, etc.)

A few things I'd love to hear your take on:

What provider are you using and what's your primary stack? (e.g. Next.js + Clerk, Go + Auth0, etc.)
What's the one thing that surprised you , good or bad ?
Would you make the same call today? Especially curious if you've hit scaling pain.

For context: I'm building a B2C application with my own database layer, and currently in the process of evaluating which authentication provider best fits the architecture. Trying to understand how others are handling the auth <> database relationship and what influenced your final decision.
