Hey PH community,

I ve been noticing a shift more and more products these days are AI-powered, AI-enhanced, or just... AI everything.

While the possibilities are exciting, I sometimes wonder:

• Are we moving too fast without fully thinking through the problems we re solving?

• Are we relying on AI because it s trendy or because it genuinely improves the product?

Here's everything you need to know

Vertical AI is made up of 3 core products:

Vertical Stream all AI models in one place

I ve launched a free tool for career exploration in tech (AI-powered, no sign-up needed).

Users try it, but very few leave feedback.

What s worked for you to gather early signals without forcing people to fill long forms or hop on calls?

I d love to improve the experience but don t want to nag users.

I'm seeing more products launch on Product Hunt that require payment to actually use any features. No free trial, no freemium tier, just a download that leads straight to a paywall.

Part of me thinks this makes sense. If your product has real value, why give it away? People on Product Hunt understand they're looking at premium tools. Plus offering free access can attract users who will never pay anyway.

But I also see the argument for temporary free access during launch. Product Hunt users want to actually try what they're upvoting. How can they give meaningful feedback or become advocates if they hit a paywall immediately?

Hey makers,

I launched my product recently on Product Hunt. I put effort into the messaging, visuals, and value and was honestly excited to share it. But after 24 hours, I ve barely gotten any traction. A handful of upvotes, no meaningful feedback just cold emails and offers from marketers.

Hey folks

We re living in the golden age of AI tools from idea generation to design, marketing, customer support, dev workflows, and even fundraising decks.

But I m super curious... how are YOU actually using AI in your business?

What s genuinely worked for you?

@Paste just launched their latest version, and tbh I'm considering switching over but I'm curious to hear what other people use?
I know @Raycast has a pretty powerful and integrated one that I'm considering using. I currently use @ Pasta which I love.
Do folks have any they recommend? What's the consensus?

Hey folks!

We re gearing up for our next launch and would love your input.
