I built a macOS app that turns rough ideas into perfect AI prompts with one hotkey

I kept losing time rewriting prompts. Every time I switched from ChatGPT to Claude to Gimini, I had to mentally adjust my prompt format. And voice-to-AI? Forget it my rambling needed serious editing before any LLM could understand me.

So I built Oshn Prompt a menu bar app that sits quietly until you need it.

How it works:

  • Select any text anywhere press Cmd+Shift+I get an optimized prompt instantly

  • Or press Cmd+Shift+U to speak your idea Whisper transcribes, AI polishes

When do you actually decide to go beyond English?

I keep going back and forth on this, so I m curious how others think about it.

At what point do you start taking non-English markets seriously?

  • only after you feel solid PMF in English?

  • when inbound users from certain regions show up?

  • by picking one market early (Japan, LatAm, etc.) and committing?

  • or do you just keep pushing it off to stay focused?

Advice for a first-time founder when a launch does not meet expectations

If your launch does not go as planned, do not judge it too quickly.
Avoid the instinct to immediately add more features or pivot the product.

Instead, pause and evaluate what already exists.
Check whether the core features are clearly communicated, fully polished, and genuinely solve the intended problem.
Often, the issue is not the idea, but the execution, positioning, or user experience.

Refine what you have. Improve clarity, usability, onboarding, and messaging.
Then relaunch with focus and confidence.

Many products fail not because they were wrong, but because they were unfinished, unclear, or rushed.

What's your prompt engineering workflow?

Hey makers!
I've been deep in prompt engineering lately while building an AI tool, and I'm genuinely curious about how others approach this.
A few questions:
1. Do you save your best prompts somewhere? Notion, text files, dedicated app, or just copy-paste from chat history?
2. How do you iterate? Do you have a systematic approach or just tweak until it works?
3. Different prompts for different models? Or do you use the same prompt for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini?
4. Text vs image prompts do you treat them completely differently?
I've noticed I was doing the same optimizations over and over (adding role, being more specific, structuring output format), which made me wonder if everyone has their own "prompt formula."
Would love to hear your workflows!

How do you approach Context Engineering when building with OpenAI models?

Lately, I have been experimenting with how to feed context into GPT models more effectively.

For example, when fine-tuning or working with larger context windows, I have noticed that the dilemma is in organizing the surrounding information, rather than the prompt itself. Last week, I came to know that it's called Context Engineering.

What are your productivity hacks for recovering in your free time?

I don't know about you, but I feel like I've been working non-stop for years now, and I don't know how I'm able to do it. And it's often because I include activities in my daily life that make my work more enjoyable or break up the monotony.

For example:

I exercise every day (and listen to video casts about tech, business, and marketing in the background)

I'm Ilia a solo-founder Oshn.ai

With over 8 years of experience in data analysis and product management, I've journeyed from scaling products for established companies to founding my own. Today, I'm the solo founder of Oshn.ai.

My mission is simple: to give people back their most valuable resource time. I believe the future lies in autonomous systems where AI agents handle routine tasks, freeing up human potential for creativity and strategy.

I'm not just building apps; I'm building a new model for creating a business.
As an "AI Conductor," I manage systems of AI agents to rapidly launch and validate ideas. My first product, the personalized meditation app Oshn Meditation, was built and launched in just 1.5 months, proving this model works.

It's incredible that AI can now replicate the work of entire companies. But as a solo founder, I feel the importance of human connection and feedback more than ever. I'm hoping to meet like-minded people, find exciting collaborations, and hear your thoughts.

Building a personal profile on Product Hunt in 5 steps (Tips, but recommendations are welcome)

I ve been on Product Hunt for over 1,000 days, and honestly, when I first started, I had no strategy.

I knew I wanted to grow, but I didn t have a clear plan. I simply liked the platform, and that was enough motivation to spend time here. That time helped me recognise certain ways to build a personal brand on Product Hunt.

I Built a Tool to Stop Myself From Leaking Ad Spend (and it worked)

Hey Product Hunt,

I'm a solo founder, and like many of you, I've had my share of frustration.The most painful one was spending money on ads, getting a decent amount of clicks, but seeing almost no conversions. It's a feeling of throwing money into a black hole.

What’s the easiest no-code tool for handling subscriptions + payments?

Hey Makers I m exploring options for managing subscriptions, payments, and authentication in a super simple way. Ideally, something that s: 1. No-code / low-code friendly 2. Easy to integrate without a ton of setup 3. Handles the boring stuff like billing, invoicing, cancellations, and user access automatically I ve looked at a few tools, but many feel too heavy for a small MVP. Curious to know: What are you using right now? Any lightweight tools that worked really well for your early-stage product? Bonus if it has a generous free tier or is affordable for indie founders. Would love to hear what s working for this community before I commit to something!
