I won't hide the fact that instead of entering key phrases into Google, I'm now redirected to the GPT Chat and asking complex questions.

Over the past year, ChatGPT has become the 5th most visited website in the world, and most recently, it also recommends products.

Hello Product Hunt!

I'm Jamey, a software engineer/wannabe founder still building products for Windows and macOS. Is anyone else doing that? It seems like everything today is all about mobile, which is great, but there's still a lot of daily business run on desktops. I've been working on a side project, mostly for fun, and I'm curious if other people would find it useful. How do people feel about an app that lets you build desktop applications for Windows and macOS using JavaScript, but with native UI controls? There's some more cool features in there too, but I don't want this post to sound like a commercial. Let me know if it sounds interesting!

Yesterday, I read that in addition to Klarna, the CEO of Zoom is already using his AI avatar on quarterly calls.

Understandably, these AI gadgets are quite trendy (and make life easier, save time and money)...

I spent a year building a mobile app. A whole month drafting Terms of Service. Burned cash on stuff that didn t matter.

Never shared it. Never talked to users. Built it alone. Quit before it launched.

Here s what that taught me:

-A business is more than just an app

In the early stages of any tech shift, it s easy to obsess over the innovation faster models, better APIs, smarter predictions. But lately, a pattern s emerging: most AI tools don t fail because the tech isn t good. They fail because no one sticks around. We ve seen this before. During the NFT boom, countless projects launched with high production value, but when the hype faded, only a few survived. The ones that did early DAOs, open-source collectives endured not because of a better roadmap, but because of a committed base that believed in the mission and brought others in.
Some AI projects today feel like they re heading down the same path. A launch tweet, a few hundred signups and then silence. Unless the product becomes part of something larger a movement, a shared belief, or even just a space where users feel like contributors it quietly dies.

Would love to hear from others building in this space:

• Is community a distraction, or a pillar for what you re building?

• If you ve invested in it, what s worked for you?

Over the past few years, I ve ended up with a scattered stack of tools domains, SaaS subscriptions, plugins, licenses, hosting, etc.

Some are in Google Keep, some in emails, and others I forgot I even signed up for.

I m curious how do you track everything you ve purchased for your projects or startup?

• Do you use a password manager?

• Manual spreadsheet?

• Some kind of custom-built dashboard?

Microsoft is reportedly working on making Copilot more emotionally intelligent, designed to check in on users and behave more like a therapist to resonate with Gen Z.

It s a bold move.

Hey!

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:

- Solve a real problem

I'm 4 years into entrepreneurship, and Impostor Syndrome has become a part of daily life.

That's the bad news. The good news is that I've kind of become numb to it.

The last 2 or 3 years, I have been trying to learn more foreign languages besides English.
My go-to app is (not surprisingly) Duolingo.

I have also experience with Memrise, but it didn't feel like a good fit.

I find these apps to help learn vocabulary or for keeping up with a language I've previously learned in other ways (for example, from a language school or online lessons), but not necessarily for learning at a conversational level.

I've tested so many AI Note takers as of late. @Fathom, @Fireflies.ai , BuildBetter, @Grain, and even Google's Transcribing feature. They're all pretty good but lately @Granola has been winning me over.

BuildBetter is really good for teams, has a nice chat function that lets you chat across all your meetings and get good insight from your team members, calls, clients, etc.
But for personal, and individual notes - Granola is a champion. Recently I've been using Granola's new mobile app for in-person convos and it's amazing. Particularly for my conversations in Japanese, where the chances of me misinterpreting something, missing a key note, or simply not knowing a word are higher. Granola captures all key points and topics and WRITES THE NOTES IN ENGLISH.
Literal immediate translating assistant. I'm not sure if other's do this, but Granola has been the easiest to quickly boot up and get my notes in a snap...without needing to translate.
I'm curious what everyone else uses and why!

It's simple. Drop your next big idea and get some brutally honest but hopefully valuable feedback. The rules are:

• Drop your idea, you don't have to go super in depth but give a sentence or two about what it is and does.

• Get roasted, duh

• Roast someone else's.

That way we create a cycle of feedback
