What's the future of storytelling?

We've all seen AI generate beautiful videos from a text prompt. It's impressive, but we don't think that's its true destiny. The real future of AI in storytelling isn't just about creating beautiful content; it's about helping us craft stories that make us feel.

Picture this: A creator is building a world. Instead of just prompting and waiting, they're actively directing the AI in real-time. It s like a live gaming experience for the creative process, helping them instantly visualize the stories and world they're imagining. "Show me what's down that cobblestone alley," they might say. Instantly, the AI generates the scene with visuals, ambient sound, and a rough voiceover. This allows them to iterate rapidly, making the story more emotionally touching and truly fun to explore and play around with until the beat feels perfect. Then, the AI can handle the "last mile" work of rendering and polishing.

In this vision, the human is always the source of the core idea, the vision, and the emotional truth. Crafting a prompt will no longer be a technical chore; instead, the entire creative process becomes an entertaining experience. The AI is simply the powerful tool that helps us capture and share those feelings more effectively than we ever could alone.

So, what's the future of storytelling?

What AI-native features could make Product Hunt even better?

I have been a Product Hunt user for 5 years now, and it's been amazing to see how much the platform has evolved.

That said, I sometimes feel the absence of AI-native features. Things like smart filtering of fake profiles during the signup stage, automated link health checks on launch pages, or even an AI-driven support assistant (remember the old chat widget?).

That s one of the reasons I joined iPNOTE to help make IP protection simple, affordable, and accessible for founders everywhere.

How to build relationships with influencers when you want to promote your product?

This is more of a feedback for marketers who are trying to establish contact with bigger influencers.

Thanks to my experience from "both sides", I noticed certain patterns that could work better and satisfaction would be on both sides. :)

Hunters who are visible and active on Product Hunt – Short List

I usually get a few messages from makers during the week asking if I could hunt them.

Short answer: I don't currently hunt (but maybe in the future)
