I m a Product Operations Manager at a startup that s about to take our AI product to public launch. We ve spent months building features, tightening up UX, and obsessing over prompt quality. Now we re in the final stretch!
We had recently launched a Coming Soon page when Product Hunt pulled the rug out (in a good way!) with the new forum-first approach. Honestly, it makes sense conversation is a better way to meet people than a countdown clock. So here we are.
Question for the class: if you had to pick one of the following to start with, which would you choose:
A genuinely useful product
A differentiated product
Or strong messaging around usefulness/differentiation
I ve seen apps hit #1 with nothing but a killer marketing message even when the product itself felt thin. I ve also seen products in crowded categories break through on sheer value, with almost no messaging polish. And then there are products that stand out by offering a totally new way of doing things.
In a time when big corporations are overpaying for their job offers just to steal the best talent from another big company, and in an era where everyone can build their own startup, there will always be room for people who prefer to join a team and work on something (in the future) big.
1/ The ultra-planners. hey schedule everything down to the minute, know who they re meeting three months from now, and already have their 2027 summer vacation mapped out.
After months of obsessing over the details, we re finally ready to bring InvisOutlet Pro to the Product Hunt community.
If you ve been following our journey from our $160K+ Kickstarter campaign to CES 2025 this is your chance to support us again as we bring InvisOutlet Pro to a bigger audience.
Do you spend 3 hours trying to find a clever .com before writing a single line of code? Or do you ship the MVP and slap on whatever domain wasn t taken at the time?

I was chatting with a friend about how they used their AI assistant (marketed as a task manager) for relationship advice and it was actually good. Totally unexpected, and not at all what it was designed (or at least marketed) for.
It made me wonder: what are the best off-label ways you ve used AI agents or tools? Something outside their intended purpose that turned out to be surprisingly fun or valuable?
Hey! Just wondering.. is there any tool out there where I can just type a domain for example and it automatically searches for the email addresses of this domain specifically for departments (Marketing, Project Manager, C-Level, etc.)? And then also creates a campaign to cold outreach automatically? Thanks in advance. Cheers
Before launching our AI assistant, we worked with a red teaming vendor (let s call them L ) to check how safe our product really was.
We were expecting a few corner cases or prompt injection attempts.
What we got was a pretty eye-opening report: infinite output loops, system prompt leaks, injection attacks that bypass moderation, and even scenarios where malicious content could be inserted by users via email inputs.
This was at a previous company, selling B2B SaaS infrastructure. We had strong early traction, a few marquis accounts and constant user feedback. One theme kept popping up: people loved the idea and related to the need but when they tried to use the product in certain ways, it didn't easily do what it was supposed to.
