Hello Product Hunt!

We've just added a major new feature to Trophy that we think is worth shouting about.

I posted a random thread on X about the cost of living in the Netherlands. Nothing about what we're building. Just genuine thoughts about life in the Netherlands.

It hit 1M+ impressions. And here's the weird part we got a ton of signups and paid users for Starnus from it. Without ever mentioning the product.

Meanwhile, my "here's what Starnus does" posts? Way less engagement.

This genuinely messed with my head. I'm sharing the actual X post below

I have been thinking about situations where clients specifically ask for AI agents to simplify a process. On the surface, it sounds reasonable. They want something intelligent to classify, route, or decide. But when we go deeper into the actual workflow, we often find that the logic is completely structured. It might just be routing leads based on budget, geography, or service type. In those cases, a simple if-else condition or a fetch record from a table would solve the problem cleanly.

Another common case is using AI to analyze structured form submissions. If the inputs are predefined dropdowns and checkboxes, there is nothing to interpret. A fetch record or rule-based filter is cleaner, cheaper, and easier to maintain.

So the real question is this: are we adding AI agents because they actually do the job better, faster, or more efficiently? Or are we just throwing AI into the mix because it sounds cool and everyone else is doing it?
