How do you know when it’s time to give up on a startup idea?

You ve put in the hours.

You shipped the MVP.

You posted on all the platforms.

You got some users. Or maybe not.

From SEO to AI Visibility: How will brands adapt?

Over the past months, I ve been building something I ll be launching here on Product Hunt very soon.

The starting point was a simple observation: Search is no longer just Google.

People are turning to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Bing Copilot and others AIs and making decisions directly there.

🎂 Built a 500‑customer B2B SaaS before I turned 18 – AMA

At 15 I trained my first machine learning model and landed an internship at a U.S. company.
At 16 I launched my first startup and promptly ran it into the ground.
I learned more from that failure.

At 17 I launched Pleep, an AI sales rep that lets any business owner integrate AI into their sales workflow in under five minutes. Four months later I quit my job to work on it full time.

Why bother? I kept asking myself: Why isn t there an AI sales monopoly yet? My take: because most competitors deliver AI consultants that talk like robots and kill revenue.
We focused on building a real rep that:

  • Doesn t ask you to prompt or pick an LLM you just tell us about your business and we do the rest.

  • Talks like your top salesperson, not a bot.

  • Books meetings and pushes data back into your CRM.

ThirdEye and the rise of AI‑driven search

Thirdeye provides AI-search analytics for performance oriented marketing teams. Unlike classic search engine tools that chase organic rankings, it focuses on how large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity mention and cite brands.

The platform monitors brand mentions across these models in real time, analyses sentiment and provides prompts showing how and where the brand is being referenced. It also sends real time alerts when a brand is cited by an AI model and offers competitor monitoring to identify positioning gaps.

What stops OpenAI from building this?

No matter what you're building, investors new favorite question: "What stops OpenAI from doing this?"

For @Migma AI: we operate on the software layer while OpenAI provides the foundation models. they re pushing toward AGI, not building specialized vertical products. email requires deep integrations, brand learning, cross-client rendering, and a compiler we built in-house. OpenAI won t spend years perfecting how 40+ email clients render html but that s exactly our edge. Look at how they acquired @Windsurf for billions: instead of building vertical products themselves, they buy proven software players. we re in that category.
Now tell me: what stops OpenAI and giants from doing what you're doing?

Meet Socials by DevVoid: a smarter way to share who you are ⭐

Hi Product Hunt,

We built Socials by DevVoid after realizing how often great conversations ended with paper cards that got lost or links that never got saved. We wanted introductions to be simple, memorable, and measurable.

✅ POLL: What do you think OpenAI are announcing today?

ICYMI: OpenAI posted a cryptic tweet yesterday, announcing a livestream for today at 10am PT. The cryptic part? They swapped the S for a 5 , which, of course, set off a wave of GPT-5 speculation. But this is OpenAI, and at this point, GPT-5 rumors feel like a monthly tradition.

What do you think it is?

What are your secret productivity hacks?

Working and being productive aren t the same thing.

We often sit in front of the laptop for hours, but between context switching, notifications, and tiny distractions.... we barely get real work done.
