We've been steadily improving Tower over the past few months, with huge progress since 2024. Tower now connects directly to your data, automatically builds semantics, transformations, and dashboards, and generates actionable insights in minutes.
New in 2025.10:
Tower Pipelines: Combine multiple sources (HubSpot, Snowflake, Airtable, Excel, Databricks, MS SQL, Tally Prime, and more) without a separate ETL tool
Tablet Apps: AI-native dashboards for iOS & Android
I have been around since the GPT-3 days, and one thing I ve noticed with GPT-5 is how careful it has become.
One clear difference between GPT-5 and the earlier 4o model is a kind of hesitation when it comes to certain topics, be it macroeconomics, politics, or anything nuanced.
When we first launched prjct/cli, the idea was to work with every AI editor @Claude Code, @Cursor, @Windsurf (my fav), @Codex by OpenAI. Sounded great, right? But in practice it was a mess:
Tons of extra code just for compatibility
Features blocked because we had to play lowest-common-denominator
Charlie (@cerwindcharlie)and I have been thinking a lot about what really matters when building a startup. And honestly, it all comes down to one thing:
If generating code is a commodity, then what is built, and how is the most critical question to answer.
This is the goal of Shotgun - to help you turn technical research and spec generation into context for software engineers, AI code-gen tools like Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, with complete codebase understanding, and agents doing the heavy lifting.
Shotgun produces clean, reusable artifacts and exports to the agents.md ecosystem to help you get the most out of code-gen tools and Agents.
This came to my mind when I read about how the creation of Sora has raised concerns that it could be an AI equivalent of TikTok (critics warning it could fall into the same addictive patterns as other social platforms).
And after several messages with some people, I also noticed how I wasted a lot of time on my desktop instead of doing something productive or learning.
A recurring request from Ting users was for a shareable "scheduling link". No matter how much we believe in our unique approach, Calendly has changed the game, and links are ubiquitous across the internet.
But Ting s mission is to keep the user and guest in places they already communicate, like email or WhatsApp.
So @dbul and I asked ourselves: how can we give users a link without building a web app? The answer was to go back to basics.
We made a product hunt AI coach! Do check it out... we named her Christina, in honor of @chrismessina who has given us great advice about product hunt! Experience the product hunt coach at this link. We used our AI tool called Creatium to create interactive content on how to handle a product hunt campaign... check it out at the below link! If you do have feedback on the experience, you could provide it on our product hunt page... https://www.producthunt.com/prod... We very much appreciate your inputs and support. Thank you! Launching on product hunt: interactive content with a coach
Some of you noticed the app hitting limits today that s because every generation is powered by integrations with external APIs, which can get expensive fast.
Right now, I m keeping Lumora simple: paste your landing page get a 14-day drip sequence, with customizable tones and export options. The goal has always been to remove blank page paralysis for founders and marketers.
According to the 2025 @Stack Overflow Developer Survey (49,000+ participants), @VS Code and @Visual Studio remain the most used dev environments, despite the rise of subscription-based, AI-enabled code editors @Cursor and @Windsurf among others. Both maintain their top spots relying on extensions as optional, paid AI services like @Github Copilot and @Kilo Code.
Curious which IDE the Product Hunt community uses the most?
