Hey Product Hunt!

I m Hardik, a 3rd-year student at IIT Bombay and I m in that exciting (and confusing) phase of exploring product, AI, marketing, and entrepreneurship. I d rather learn deeply than rush into building the wrong thing.

So I m curious:

If you were 19 again, what would you spend the next 5 years mastering?

For solo makers, wearing every hat is almost unavoidable - developer, marketer, support, product and often designer too.

AI makes this even easier now. You can generate UI pretty quickly, but a lot of products end up relying on consistent, polished AI-generated solutions rather than something truly unique or thoughtfully designed for their specific product.

So I m curious:

Do you design the UI/UX yourself when building solo?

We've been talking to dozens of AI agent founders over the past few months and one thing keeps coming up, only few actually knows what it costs them to serve a single customer.

With traditional SaaS it's simple. Seat-based pricing, predictable infra costs, clean unit economics.

With AI agents it's a completely different beast. You've got LLM tokens, voice minutes, vector DB queries, tool calls, cloud compute. All variable, all billed separately, none of it tied to a specific customer or workflow.

You get a monthly invoice from 5 different vendors. You make a guess. And you find out months later you've been losing money on your best customers. Even OpenAI itself uses Metronome just to handle ChatGPT's billing complexity.
