Well Intelligence is live on Product Hunt 😻

The founder tax nobody talks about
You started a business to build something amazing. Instead, you're spending entire Sundays chasing invoices, copying numbers between platforms, and trying to figure out if that Stripe payment actually matches your accounting software.

One full day every month. Gone. Just like that.

What Well Intelligence actually does:

  • Auto-connects everything - Gmail, WhatsApp, any billing portal flows directly to your accountant or GDrive

  • AI answers your money questions - "How much runway do I have?" gets answered in seconds, not spreadsheet hours

  • Think ChatGPT for your finances - but it actually knows your numbers and builds charts on the fly

Vagus+ 3 (new update)

I recently launched a major update to the app, and I'd love to get your feedback.

What is the most underrated skill for startup founders in 2025?

Everyone says execution matters most.

But I think it s execution in the right way
The kind that runs experiments, not marathons.

It s easy to move fast.

It s harder to design motion that actually teaches you something.

Would you pay more for a product with great support?

Most people think users choose products based on features or price. In reality, support decides who stays.

A cheaper tool becomes expensive fast when every issue turns into a ticket nightmare. Meanwhile, teams keep paying more for products that solve problems and support them when it matters.

Support is not a cost. It is part of the product experience. Fast replies build trust. Clear answers reduce churn. Companies that treat support as a growth lever win.

I really wonder these questions

How do you really get honest customer feedback in 2025?

I ve been obsessed with this question lately.

Most survey tools give you answers, but not insights. People rush through, skip questions, or just give generic responses.

Tiny A/B Test is available now, for free

Hi,

The Tiny A/B Test launch on Product Hunt and it was successful because of you, thank you!

🥉 Friends, ProblemHunt took 3rd place in the «Product of the Day» race!

Friends, thanks to your support, ProblemHunt took 3rd place in the Product of the Day race!

1. The race featured exactly 222 products, including: ChatGPT Atlas by OpenAI, XMind with over 100 million users, the much-talked-about Manus AI, and many other strong competitors. Admittedly, it wasn't easy. But thanks to our close-knit, responsive, and friendly community, we managed to break into the top 3. This genuinely inspires us and gives us energy to actively develop ProblemHunt for you. From the bottom of our hearts thank you to each and every one of you!

How much money would you be willing to spend from your own savings to start a business?

Are you the kind of person who believes in your dream enough to burn through most of your savings on it?

For millionaires, this might not be a big deal, but what about people with a typical 9 5 job? I see how much a solid marketing campaign costs on just one platform (often the monthly expense is equal to at least a full year s salary).

The day before yesterday, a friend told me he and his wife are closing their restaurant, which they opened just six months ago. They had taken a loan for it, which makes it even worse.

If you had to delete your entire website but keep only one section live, what would that section be?

Over time, I ve realized how much effort we put into our websites on landing pages, pricing, testimonials, product tours and yet, most visitors only ever deeply interact with one or two sections depending on your ICP.

  • For developer-first products, that s usually docs.

  • For consumer apps, maybe it s onboarding or pricing.

  • For enterprise tools, perhaps case studies or ROI calculators.

The rest is mostly noise or at least secondary.

It made me wonder:

The Breakpoint [2025-10-21] - On context engineering

Meow world, welcome back to The Breakpoint, a weekly thread on all things dev tools on Product Hunt.

Recent dev-first products launched on the site

We've launched!

Hi!

We're live! We need your help!

Why your 500+ member community might not help you win on Product Hunt at all?

Yesterday, I had a chat with a founder who s launching on Product Hunt next week.

He said: We ve got a community of 500+ people. Getting Product of the Day should be easy.

So I asked one question:

How many of them have an active Product Hunt accounts that are at least 4 6 weeks old?

The hardest part of building AI isn’t intelligence, it’s endurance.

Everyone talks about smarter models.

Few talk about stronger systems.

But that s where things really fall apart.

Raycast Keyboard for iOS - AI, dictation, snippets, and quicklinks at your fingertips

Hot off the press! @Raycast for iOS just got "its biggest update yet." Dictation, AI commands, Snippets, and Quicklinks are now accessible from the keyboard.

Thoughts? For me, it's an instant crush.

Viral post + new features + community milestone + red market

Hey everyone,

LOTS going on. Google just turned a core part of our product into a feature - which is always fun - BUT, we saw it coming when they added it to Workspace not long ago. Inevitable, really, importance of keeping an eye on the market. The wave of AI scheduling assistants is as validating as it is like white-water rafting...!

Which pricing model is working for you?

For years, SaaS pricing revolved around seats.

If you're adding more teammates then pay more.

This was simple, predictable and scalable.
