🗣️ Find the right product, just ask

We just shipped something new on Product Hunt.

Ask Product Hunt AI is a way to explore launches, products, and discussions without digging through pages or trying the perfect search query. You can just ask a question and it pulls from everything happening on the platform products, comments, makers, all of it.

Looking for tools in a specific space? Want to see what people are saying about a launch? Trying to find something you saw last week but forgot the name of? Just ask.

🗣️ Today's leaderboard is powered by voice

@Wispr Flow launched on Product Hunt back in 2024. Since then it has become one of those tools that quietly sticks. It's the AI dictation tool a bunch of us here use day to day (yes, there are still a few people committed to typing everything out). It works anywhere on your Mac or PC, so you can just talk and have clean text land wherever your cursor is.

For the next three days, it is showing up on the leaderboard in a different way. From April 14 to 16, you can upvote and comment on Product Hunt using Wispr Flow directly. If you use dictation, those upvotes and comments will carry a bit more weight. Try it out by clicking the Wispr Flow unit on the Leaderboard and telling it to upvote a product name

Should you add a shoutout to your Product Hunt launch?

tldr: yes. Shoutouts are one of the simplest distribution levers on Product Hunt.

Shoutouts are meant to pay it forward and highlight the tools that helped you build. But beyond goodwill, they create durable distribution for your product on Product Hunt and across LLM driven discovery.

When you shout out a product during launch, it becomes a founder review on that product s page. Founder reviews sit above regular reviews and include a link to both your profile and your product. That means your product is now attached to every future visit to that product s review page, long after launch day. For example, check out @timliao s shoutout of @Framer or @guymanzur s shoutout of @Base44

What's the best AI model for coding?

New AI models pop up every week. Some developer tools like @Cursor, @Zed, and @Kilo Code let you choose between different models, while more opinionated products like @Amp and @Tonkotsu default to 1 model.

Curious what the community recommends for coding tasks? Any preferences?

We are launching Typeless for iOS, ask me anything!

Hey Product Hunt community!

This is YUKI from the Typeless marketing team.

Let's be honest: mobile typing is broken. We lose ideas because typing feels like too much work. We delay replies because it's tedious. We fight autocorrect, fix typos, and hope our messages don't sound rushed.

How to increase your chances of having your forum approved?

I often get asked why someone's forum was rejected.

First of all, I need to clarify that I m not an internal member of the Product Hunt team, so I do not influence these decisions.

How to build relationships with influencers when you want to promote your product?

This is more of a feedback for marketers who are trying to establish contact with bigger influencers.

Thanks to my experience from "both sides", I noticed certain patterns that could work better and satisfaction would be on both sides. :)

I'm Aloke, first engineer and head of the coding team at Warp. AMA! 🔥

Hey Product Hunt!

I'm Aloke, Engineer #1 at Warp and lead eng on Warp's new coding features.

We're all in on agentic coding at Warp, but we also recognize that even the best agents need some human guidance. We just launched a suite of new features to help you closely iterate with agents code review panel, file editor, file tree, slash commands, WARP.md (or use your existing agent.md file).

👋 Hi Product Hunt! I’m Bijoy, the maker of Guitar Wiz.

I ve been building music apps for iOS for over a decade, but Guitar Wiz is by far the most ambitious project I ve worked on. It started life years ago as a simple chord library (GtrLib Chords), and has now grown into a complete all-in-one companion for guitarists of all levels.

How much are you willing to pay for influencer promotion of your product?

At a time when everyone allows themselves to build any solution using AI, it is difficult to differentiate themselves, and makers are betting on more aggressive distribution.

Some differentiate themselves with good tech support, some build their personal brand as a founder, and some pay influencers.

Apple considers collaboration with Google: Will Gemini AI save Siri?

Yes, we had this talk on Product Hunt countless times, about whether Apple is behind in AI.

Apple is in early talks with Google to potentially use Gemini AI to power a revamped version of Siri, as part of efforts to catch up in generative AI. They have been considering Anthropic s Claude and OpenAI s ChatGPT + testing their own models.

Getting attention with ads is easy. Holding attention is hard.

Founders often find that clicks do not mean customers, because people do not trust what they see online.

In a noisy digital world, the real moat is credibility.

What tactics (ads, content, community, something else)
have helped you build trust with your audience?

Advice on how to get threads approved more on Product Hunt?

I always aim to raise topics and questions relevant to startups/products and my personal endeavors that others might relate to.

The threads usually start with an intro to the topic, my experience, and, lastly, ask others to share their experiences. I try to structure these parts into clear, error-free sections so that they are easy to read. I have never used AI, for what it's worth.
