Has Product Hunt become startups talking to themselves?
We launched Visibility by Causo last week to learn how Product Hunt actually works. What we found was interesting and worth sharing. Our results: 21st place 24 points 53 followers 13 comments 13 waitlist sign-ups ~60 real product uses 360+ total launches that day Not terrible, but it didn’t feel like traction. Interestingly, some products started the day with 50+ points already. One gained 50...

This is just a cherry on top - a product launch platform that doesn't let feedback on its own product to be posted...
Learnings from our launch - is PH now more about a reputation leaderboard than real feedback?

Visibility by Causo measures how AI systems understand your company. It runs structured scans through ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity to show what each model knows about your startup, where gaps exist, and how to fix them.

For years, founders have optimized for Google. But the front door to discovery is shifting to AI. We built the AI Visibility Checker to answer one simple question: Can AI correctly explain what your startup does? It runs a multi-model scan across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity to see how visible and consistent your company identity is. This tool shows how AI perceives your brand before...

Congrats on the launch! I’m most curious about two things: how you prevent extra chat noise, and how clean the handoff is from thread to action. If you can show real examples or simple metrics on that, it’ll stand out.

It's a shame that it doesn't work with audio (yet, I guess). Cool though! Congrats on the launch!

This is awesome, now all the vibe coders can vibe break their stuff before going to vibe prod! Jokes apart, really needed tool! Will test it on our own product soon!

Sounds very interesting! I spent most of yesterday playing with OpenAI agent kit, will be interesting to see how this stacks up. In any case, awesome job! Congrats on the launch!

Love it! From "please fix" to "please break". Had to be done.

This is super cool! Most people have ideas but get stuck trying to juggle a dozen tools just to make something watchable. The “AI director” angle feels like a real unlock. Can already imagine folks using this for everything from fun shorts to product promos. Excited to see how it evolves.

This is really cool! A huge challenge for vibe coders is not just building but figuring out what comes after - GTM, outreach, even basic ads. Having a space that highlights and celebrates projects gives builders more visibility and motivation to keep going. Love seeing initiatives like this that make the community stronger.

This is cool — deepfakes on calls are getting scary good, so nice to see someone tackling it. Curious to see how it handles normal glitches/lag in bad lighting. Excited to give it a spin, congrats on the launch!

Looks cool guys! Will definately try it out! Wanted to build something similar for youtube about a year ago. After sending a couple of hundred personal emails to creators - got very few replies, and very few willing to engage. The market seems to be very crowded in by creator agencies, etc. Cheering for you to solve it!
