About

Trying something new here! I built Clean My Robot because my day job had me really excited by AI, but the news had me feeling icky about too. I didn't built this company as a long-term solution. It's a stop-gap while policymakers, AI executives, software engineers, and construction crews sort out more environmentally conscious solutions. I learned about building technology in undergrad at Carnegie Mellon where I studied Information Systems. I learned about strategy in grad school at Columbia where I studied Information and Knowledge Strategy. Trying to package all that up along with my 15 years of professional experience in Clean My Robot!

Clean My Robot - Offset AI’s carbon and water footprint

Clean My Robot is built specifically for AI’s carbon and water footprint. Unlike generic offset products, it combines verified carbon offsets and water restoration certificates, transparent public proof of retirement, and project selection with geographic intent near U.S. regions most burdened by data center growth. The result is a simple, credible way for everyday AI users to respond to a problem that usually feels invisible and impossible to act on.

Hi, am I in the right place?

I m working on an idea for people who feel guilty about the environmental impacts of AI. I ve never built a startup before and trying to figure this all out. Someone told me to check out this community. Wondering if product hunt is the right place for my project, though? I don t see a category for climate tech or anything that quite fits what I m working on. Instead of asking Claude, Gemini, etc if I m in the right place, I figured I d just ask the community itself.

We just launched our Alpha and we need your honest feedback.

I built Prodshort because I understood after my previous companies that the hard thing is not to Build but to Sell.
But because I'm a builder, not a seller. I decided to build something that Sells for me.
And Because the trend is Founder Led Marketing, I decided to build something that Create content on your behalf.
But there was a lot of AI tools out there. So I decided to go the opposite way, make it the most authentic possible.
I want you to create content when you are not even aware of it.
And honestly it worked for me. Many people tell me it's amazing but to keep it honest, NO ONE PAYED, and that's the only KPI I'm looking at.
For now, I have feedback about the landing page being too AI generated, and doesn't reflect the quality of our product.
And Builder socially scared from sharing there first content.
Let me know what you think https://www.producthunt.com/prod...
