AMA w/ CEO of Bolt - from $0 to $20M and how we almost didn't make it

Live Feb 28th, 9am PT - drop your questions!

Hi everyone,
CEO of Bolt here! Super excited to open up about our journey and offer any learnings and stories I can to help other makers on their journey. Within a span of 2 months we've grown to $20M in revenue and were recently featured in NYT as paving the way for vibe coding.

Best ways to fight dashboard chaos?

As my dashboards grow more complicated they always seem to descend into disorganized chaos with a bunch of different datasets and charts all over the place.
What are some good way to fight the chaos and keep things organized when dashboards start getting complicated?

How do you handle multiple communities, trillion notifications and endless answers? 😅

When you re trying to cover multiple platforms with your brand and also cover other platforms for your business account, things can get a little out of hand.

How do you manage your communities and everything that comes with it?

A New Idea for Product Hunt Makers: Targeted Launch Notifications for Relevant Audiences

One challenge for Makers launching on Product Hunt is getting in front of the right audience especially for first-time launchers.

I think it would be helpful if Makers could notify followers of similar products about their new launch. Just like how we get updates from people we follow, users who are interested in similar products could receive a friendly notification about a new launch.

Example Notification: "Looks like you're interested in no-code web builders like $Bubble! Check out $SlashPage a game-changing no-code tool where you can create everything from blogs to communities with just a click!"

Shout out your favorite new product you absolutely love using (that’s not yours)

What s a recent product you ve started using that you absolutely love?

Maybe it solved a real problem, has great UX, or just brings you joy every time you open it. Bonus points if it launched here on Product Hunt.

Beyond Product Hunt: Where Else Do You Launch Your Product?

Hey Product Hunt community!

We gearing up for the launch of WebGremlin.ai and of course, planning to submit to PH. But I m curious, where else do you share your products to get traction? What are other platforms, forums, or communities that have worked well for you (like hackernews)? And while we re at it, what s your go-to initial launch strategy to make some noise?

Thanks in advance!

I’ve been automating email workflows — drop yours and I’ll simplify it 👇

I ve been deep in building an AI Executive Assistant not for calendar blocks or reminders, but for the real workflow stuff teams do every day:

  • triaging inboxes

  • prepping replies

  • handling follow-ups

  • surfacing what matters

Before we lock a few new workflows, I d love to hear from you:

- What s one email-related task you wish someone else (or something else) handled for you?

Is it just me, or are we all doing 2 jobs at work?

I ve been watching how people work.. across ops, product, founders, even execs
.

Everyone s moving fast. But almost no one feels like they re in control of their day.

Here s the common thread I keep seeing:
- People aren t just doing their jobs.
- They re managing how to do their jobs, too.

- Inbox triage. Thread chasing. Meeting prep. Decision follow-ups.
- Context-switching that steals energy and attention.

What kind of apps would earn you more money?

I see a lot of tech products on Product Hunt that are meant to improve someone else's business situation, and as many makers as possible are ideally targeting the B2B market.

However, this past week I've also seen a lot of "fun" products that not only made it into the featured category but also earned one of the product of the day titles.

Has AI helped you do what you couldn't before? Or still figuring it out?

I think by 2030, the real question won't be "Do you use AI?" but "Can you work without it?"

I noticed this in my own life recently. 

I always said "I'm terrible at design" whenever I needed to make something look nice.

When is the right time to delegate work tasks to another person?

My environment consists of many solo founders.

However, when I see someone is already starting to hire an employee, the question crosses my mind:
What profit has that person achieved when they can afford to pay another extra person?

What’s the best productivity tool that’s NOT Notion, Obsidian, or Roam?

Notion, Obsidian, and Roam are great, but they re not for everyone. Maybe you found something simpler, faster, or just less overwhelming. What s the one productivity tool you actually stick with the one that makes life easier instead of adding more work?

Startups using Linear - is it a company wide project mgmt system, or do you use other tools too?

We made a move to @Linear at Product Hunt within the past 6 months. Curious if other startups using @Linear have adopted it company wide. Or is it primarily used by the EPD team and the rest of the company uses different PM tools? And if so, how is it working?

We were previously on @Asana . I like to say I am tool-agnostic, and can adapt our company processes to whatever tool the team will use, but with many project management tools, I had my love/hate relationship with Asana. @Notion works well as our homebase for company and project documentation, brainstorming, etc. and can even work for simple task/project management (I love their inline databases). But if you're looking for more robust tools, I haven't seen Notion up to the task. I have also tried@Trello , @Todoist , @Basecamp , @ClickUp etc at other companies.

Help me quit Chrome

I've been using @Google Chrome for years and honestly never thought much about changing. It just always seemed like the best and easiest option. Lately though, I've been feeling like maybe I'm missing out. Chrome doesn't feel like the no-brainer pick anymore, and I'm seeing more and more interesting browsers out there.

Currently, @Horse is my top pick. This is the one I'm most interested in trying out, but it also seems like a pretty different approach. I don't necessarily want my productivity to dip, but that may just be inevitable whenever switching.

What's the next frontier for AI Coding?

At this point, all of the AI coding assistants are in the same neighborhood. Decent at "advanced autocomplete", OK at code generation sometimes, and most are somewhere in the process of incorporating code context mechanisms. But what's next? Agentic behavior? Something else?
My pet prediction is that we will see the emergence of a new programming language that's designed for use with AI and can be translated to a variety of popular languages. (Or if we're cursed, just javascript )

B2C AI Adoption: Is advertising AI features a Plus or a Minus for Growth?

I'm seeing a growing trend of B2C products actively advertising their AI features as a USP, claiming AI being the prime solution.

However, being back in my hometown for a weekend, I've heard a lot of apprehension around data privacy and a general lack of understanding "what happens in that blackbox". Nothing I hear very often back in Berlin, so demographic differences are clearly playing a big role in user receptiveness.

Transparency is crucial, no doubt. Advertising AI on platforms like producthunt or in decks for investors makes a lot of sense - that's the right audience.
But are we far enough along the AI adoption curve for "AI-powered" to be a major selling point on the customer-facing side? Or are we scaring off potential users with concerns about data usage and complexity?
Let's discuss!

  • Have you seen AI transparency hurt or help your user acquisition efforts?

  • How are you addressing user concerns about AI?
