How to grow your LinkedIn account and maintain your presence there?

We're not going to lie. One of the key places people ask you for help with a PH launch is in LinkedIn DMs (followed by X and email).

Most connections I got were people from Product Hunt, so it is a pity not to use that platform.
I am trying to grow LinkedIn and play with many strategies, among:

  • posting several pieces of content per day

  • actively comment on other people's posts

  • send a certain number of connection requests per day

  • do collaborative posts with other creators

  • writing LinkedIn articles/newsletters (native feature)

How would you use AI to automate insights from multiple data sources? 🤔

Hi PH community!

We've been steadily improving Tower over the past few months, with huge progress since 2024.
Tower now connects directly to your data, automatically builds semantics, transformations, and dashboards, and generates actionable insights in minutes.

New in 2025.10:

  • Tower Pipelines: Combine multiple sources (HubSpot, Snowflake, Airtable, Excel, Databricks, MS SQL, Tally Prime, and more) without a separate ETL tool

  • Tablet Apps: AI-native dashboards for iOS & Android

  • Smarter AI analytics & new connectors

  • Intelligent data transforms

  • Tons of performance and UI/UX improvements

Realistic audio with expanded emotional range

I'm trying to create realistic audio to support scenarios for frontline staff in homeless shelters and housing working with clients. The challenge is finding realistic voices that have a wide range of emotional affect. We are hoping to find a generative approach to developing multiple voices rather than creating voices with actors or ourselves. We've tried v3 Voice Design which expands on monotone generated voices but not much. We want voices that go from soft whispers to screaming and everything in between. Perhaps I'm not very good at prompting, but I've tried various attempts. Again, we're trying to do this without needing to record every voice which is not sustainable for our approach. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Why we build Ting Whatsapp

Ting's magic has always been in "multiplayer" mode - CC the AI, and it books your meetings with other people.

But we quickly realized a huge part of calendar management is actually "single-player," because: CC'ing an AI adds friction if you don't have a thread going, and digging through an old Ting thread to reschedule is a massive pain. We knew we had to build a way for you to just chat with Ting directly and have it orchestrate all the boring stuff in the background.

We started 1-on-1 emails first, but that felt clunky and slow. The obvious answer for a busy person on the run was WhatsApp. We've had a lot of requests for it, since these days meetings are discussed in many places - not just email, but LinkedIn DMs too.

Tech Week Kickoff → A Practical Networking Playbook

SF is buzzing this week, but the question travels: how do you actually meet the right people (cofounders, investors, collaborators, etc.) without burning the night? What works for me: be visible (present/pitch if possible instant context), be memorable (two-liner like I spent a decade in meetings at Apple left to fix that ), and be intentional (goal: 5 useful connections, 1 investor intro keep moving every 3 5 minutes).

Here's my simple framework:

  • Intent Target Ask (why you re here, who you need, concrete next step).

  • Anchor to the moment ( What stood out from the talk? ).

  • Exit cleanly ( Great chat mind if I send that link tonight? ).

When will technology advance to the point where we can live on Mars or the Moon?

Yesterday, @zaczuo shared an idea about delivering packages from space. To me, that seems quite sci-fi and financially demanding to actually pull off. Today, I m reading that Bezos predicts millions of people could be living in space by 2050.

How realistic is this scenario, given that the last time we set foot on the Moon was more than 50 years ago? (And above all, I feel like we still can t solve basic problems on Earth, let alone expand into space.)

Hey, Dad's back!

I said I was popping out for some cigarettes and a paper some time ago, but it was no abandon. The queue at the shop was massive. And of course being British, I wasn't going to leave it. So with a copy of last month's paper under my arm, and a freshly lit hot stick perched between my lips. I am here.

Founder’s Review of FunBlocks AI Slides

As a founder, I'm constantly evaluating tools that can genuinely boost productivity and creativity. FunBlocks AI Slides stands out as a strong contender in the AI presentation space, primarily due to its innovative integration of Markdown for slide creation.

What I like?

  • Markdown-Driven Efficiency: The ability to write slides in Markdown is a game-changer. It eliminates the tedious back-and-forth of adjusting element sizes and positions with a mouse, allowing for a focused, high-speed writing experience. This is pure efficiency.

  • Automatic, Elegant Layout: The smart layout algorithms deliver beautifully arranged, professional-looking slides automatically. This means I can focus purely on content, trusting that the presentation will look polished and aesthetically pleasing without manual fuss.

  • AI Presentation Assistant: The AI capabilities go beyond simple generation. It can craft entire presentations from a theme, but more importantly, it allows for granular optimization of any selected text. This interactive AI assistance is incredibly powerful for refining ideas and content.
