Brains by API, Value by UX? Curious to hear your thoughts
The other day I was talking with a friend about how companies like Anthropic and ChatGPT sell intelligence through APIs but much of the user-facing value is being created by other companies which use their APIs.
These companies wrap the API (hence the name openAI-wrappers) with clean UX, clever prompts, and just enough orchestration to feel like a full product. They don t need to build the model, they just need to understand the user s workflow.
But now, with OpenAI acquiring the hardware startup IO and moving toward building physical products, the lines are starting to blur. Will we end up with one unified interface for general intelligence, or a fragmented ecosystem of domain-specific wrappers?
Super curious to hear where you think this is headed. Also, as a side question, what are your thoughts about all these gpt-wrappers?
The 1 person unicorn dream - Myth or Reality?
Hey All,
The thesis of a 1-person Unicorn has been going around since the emergence of LLMs and Agents. While I certainly see how an engineer can now do the work of 10, maybe 20 engineers, I'm still not able to see the path to a $1B company.
What do everyday users actually want AI to do next?
Hey guys,
I've been thinking about this and wanted to get your take on it.
ChatGPT broke AI into the mainstream, but now that the novelty has worn off what are everyday (non-tech) users actually asking for?
When non-tech people think about AI are they wanting AI to handle their emails, manage their schedules or something completely different?
From the conversations I've had, it seems like most people use ChatGPT and see the potential but can't figure out how it fits into their actual routine. What I'm noticing is that people are really interested in AI solutions that can take over the stuff they find tedious, whether that's digital stuff like sorting through emails or physical tasks like household chores.
What are you hearing from non-tech users? What problems are they hoping AI will solve for them?
Looking forward to your thoughts!!
Loving Slack, but Really Missing Sub-Sub-Threads
Hey all,
Let me start by saying that I really enjoy using @Slack. Every day I use it, though, I find myself wishing I could create threads within sub-threads. Is this limitation intentional to encourage keeping conversations in the main thread or are there any plans to support one additional level of threading in the future?
For example, we're building a product called Mozart, an AI-powered digital audio workstation (DAW). We had a thread discussing the mixer component, and within that, someone started a sub-thread about how effects would be handled. I wanted to go even deeper and discuss one specific effect the reverb module but there was no clean way to do that without cluttering the entire sub-thread. I instead had to forward the message to the main chat and start another thread there. A sub-sub-thread would have allowed us to stay a bit more organised and focused without losing context.
Keen to get your thoughts on this :)) !
What's The Next Big Thing In Tech?
What's your bet on the next frontier? Everyone's still catching up with AI, but some interesting stuff is already happening.
Some areas where I see the world heading next are quantum computing, which is finally moving from lab experiments to actual commercial systems.
Brain-computer interfaces are another one. With the way Neuralink and other similar companies are heading, we may be more closer to reality than other people realise.
While everyone's obsessing over Agentic AI, some of the really wild breakthroughs might be happening in these corners of tech.
Looking forward to your thoughts!! :)
Is it really good to succeed at a young age?
I often met people with the mindset:
"I'll work hard until I'm 30, and then I'll enjoy the fruits of my labour."
Many people wanted to get into the Forbes 30 Under 30.
Multi Window Vibe Coding for Max Efficiency
Hi all,
Our team @ Arthos, a Music AI startup, uses @Cursor for everything (we actually have a massive budget in house for the usage based pricing :) ). I've always wondered if it's possible to open the same repository on multiple windows, and vibe code non conflicting features.
Has anyone tried this? What happens if Cursor edits the same file with 2 different agentic instances?
What was the very first project you vibecoded with AI?
On Product Hunt, I can see many people launching their products using "vibe-coding tools" like @Lovable , @bolt.new , or@Replit
I reckon many people who created something with them are usually developers who didn't have enough time for building a side idea before, but with AI, they could make it happen.
🚀 PoliteAI is evolving: A Smarter Alternative to Slack
Hey Product Hunt ,
We started PoliteAI as an AI Hub for teams, giving access to GPT, Claude, Gemini, and more. But teams weren t just chatting with AI, they were collaborating.
So we re making a bold shift.
AI is everywhere...what’s one thing it still can’t do right?
I work with startup teams and use AI tools almost every day for writing, research, support, and more. It saves a lot of time, no doubt. But there are still things AI just can t do well.
For example, when reading customer feedback, AI often misses the real meaning behind the words, like when someone sounds polite but is actually unhappy. Or when making product decisions, AI can list pros and cons, but it doesn t really understand the bigger picture or timing like a human would.
I review hundreds of products daily and try to demo as many as I can - what do you want to learn?
I'm a product nerd. I love demoing and testing out products and am blessed that I can do this as part of my work here at Product Hunt but I sometimes forget to share my thoughts and impressions from testing products with the community....and I want to change that!
What would you like to see if I were to start sharing some reviews, product comparisons, and first impressions of Products that are launched or discovered? What aren't you currently seeing in reviews!
Throw any ideas, ask me anything, this is ultimately for you all!
Do you know any impactful social responsible projects?
Many of us appreciate tools that save us time or money in our businesses. But there are also projects out there with a bigger mission (improving lives, supporting the planet, and helping those in need, to name a few).
Do you know of any inspiring projects that aim to make the world a better place?
I built Geekflare from 0 to 6M monthly visitors. Ask me anything.
