Hi all. Sarah here, Head of Content @ Product Hunt. I'm starting up a new article series in our AI newsletter, Deeper Learning, called Ask Kitty. It's a place where you can ask the questions you've been wondering about A.I. but have been too shy to ask. Why? One thing I've learned about A.I. is that a lot of people in tech assume you know a lot of things, and very few people actually know the things (or know them in-depth enough to explain them simply). Sometimes this dynamic prevents us from asking questions. And asking questions is one of the best ways to reduce our knowledge gap. And yes, you could ask ChatGPT, but based on my experience you're unlikely to get the full context you need. Not only will I work to answer your questions, I'll work to find the right people to help me answer them! So ask away!

You might have noticed we added "categories" today. Over time, "topics" became more like keywords rather than useful for goal-directed searches within specific product verticals (which is most PH searches). Categories will help us improve search and browsing, as well as eventually a lot of other downstream features. Ex. Zoom *is* video conferencing software, not "tech, productivity, video, SDK, meetings" Categories are what your product is or what problem it solves. Topics might include general industries, specific features, technologies, or keywords. At the moment, categories are meant to supplement topics. Topics will still exist, although you can think of them more as tags than a primary taxonomy. We built out the a lot of this from scratch, so please suggest verticals we're missing if your product isn't categorized yet you can do so by editing your hub page. Lmk if you have any questions!

What are the best tools or gadgets you use to help you in yourself workday? I use the Opal app to block out all social media. And a physical egg timer to help me do Pomodoro (25min work // 5min off) What works for you?

As we all know, Product Hunt is a platform with a huge user base. So how do you use this platform to introduce your products and pave the way for your upcoming products?
