I have been thinking a lot about how AI is quietly transforming the way we work, not replacing jobs entirely, but definitely reshaping them.
At a recent Fortune summit, the CEO of Indeed said AI can now handle over half the tasks in most roles. But no single job can be fully automated. OpenAI s Chief People Officer even called it a reimagination of work.
During the week, I receive a lot of questions about Product Hunt, and some of them are very frequent. I thought I would post the most frequent ones here, and a possible answer to them.
Is it worth having a hunter?
If the hunter has a large follower base, a strong community, and a good reputation (and your product is also good, i.e. it will be featured): YES, IT IS WORTH HAVING A HUNTER. It will multiply your visibility and success
I ve been chatting with other early stage builders and one theme keeps popping up is that there s so much important but not core work that needs doing (things like ops, research, content, or lead gen) and it all adds up fast when you re solo.
And hiring help early on isn t always possible (budget, trust, speed), trying to do it all yourself can be draining and distracting from core product work.
Curious how others are navigating this phase:
Are you using freelancers? Automation tools? Just doing less?
I want to dive into practical applications of generative AI and have set myself a challenge to develop a useful product in 30 hours of focused work. My goal is not just an experiment but creating something with genuine practical value.
I have basic programming skills and can use any available APIs and tools (GPT-4, Claude, Stable Diffusion, etc.). The ideal project should:
Ever been so annoyed by a problem you thought someone needs to fix this ? That s where a ton of great products start. However how do you really know whether this frustration is worth building a product around, or if it's just a personal annoyance?
This was the first question @mwamedacen and I asked ourselves when we considered launching 1Stroke - an AI tool that generates and rephrases smart replies anywhere on the web with just a right-click.
Our pain point? We used to spend hours writing and rewriting professional emails and social media content, only for them to be read in mere seconds.
I've been on this platform for over 2 years, and we have to admit that the number of tools that appear here every day is truly unimaginable.
Sometimes it's hard to select the best ones, but I have to say that some that I found a few months or years ago, I still use every day because they are useful to me in some way.
I m currently working on a product designed for users around the world, and as exciting as it sounds, building something truly global comes with a lot of unexpected challenges.
Whenever I click through to the social media profiles of the makers in the product hunt community, I find that they are quite versatile and are involved in things other than just business.
What other skills do you have besides your work skills?
For many startups, time and money are always limited and, honestly, never enough. We still need to put out better-than-good products on the market. This may seem impossible, but is there a way to overcome the limits of time and money? Do you think the available time and money define how good a product will be?
Jeanne Baret, Frida Kahlo, Virginia Wolf, Sabiha Gokcen the ones first appears in my mind. I respect women in history and I believe it was even harder to achieve any success back then.
I'm new to Twitter and want to utilize it for my product growth, however, I struggle always with what to post something that it's worth tweeting and can help my page acquire followers. Would be interested to know how you find content ideas for your Twitter page.
