Job boards are so 2010. We built an Al that finds jobs in your feed before you even see them. AMA

Hey folks,

It's a big day for us  not only have we launched something that I've been this much excited about in years, we are also climbing the Product Hunt leaderboard to become the product of the day. Checkout Indy AI.

YC founders, would you trust AI to handle 90% of your support chats?

me and my co-founder are building an AI agent because at our last startup we just couldn t keep up with support.

we tried every chatbot out there. they all felt robotic. customers hated it.

hiring more people was too slow + too $$$

so we put together this ai chatbot (think intercom fin but deeper) that trains on your old tickets, learns your tone, doesn t hallucinate, and can actually answer stuff like a real support rep.

Hey 👋 I'm Jamie.

I'm Jamie, an engineer and entrepreneur. I'm based in the UK but love to travel while building. Previously I ran a VC-backed startup, Docbot, which ultimately didn't work out.

I'd say my strength is engineering but my weakness is marketing. I'm slowly working on that.

Thinking of building a comparison tool based on AI... you find this useful?

Heya

I m thinking of building a simple, unbiased comparison platform for products, services, tools even technical stuff like frameworks, APIs, and AI tools to help you decide faster with clear side-by-side insights.

Personally, I often find myself deep in Amazon reviews, YouTube videos, and scattered blog posts when trying to choose something new. While some comparison sites exist, I ve never found a complete or truly comprehensive solution. The same goes for developers when exploring new frameworks or libraries with similar alternatives, a quick, focused comparison could really help clarify things.

Before going further, I d love to hear from you: Would you find this useful? Your feedback will help shaping what I build next.

Successful Launch for Hightech Founders

Hi everyone,
launch day is arriving faster than a Volkswagen on an Autobahn. How do you prepare to launch really successfully and claim that product of the day badge?
I am really working toghether with my beta testers on the feature side of things but as a natural tech founder I have a feeling I am focusing too much on the product improvement and too litle on marketing.
So I am opening up this thread so that tech founders like me get some feedback on how to push the marketing side

Is August a good month to launch on Product Hunt?

I ve been digging into Hunted.Space stats for August launches over the past few years and the differences between days are wild.

Wednesday to Thursday Busy days, lots of traffic, lots of competition.

Saturday & Sunday Projects launched on weekends get 3 4x fewer upvotes on average.

Hello PH, I am Pratham and we are launching the fastest LLM Gateway out there!

Hi folks I m Pratham, an engineer, former founder, and a full-time infra nerd.

I ve been building since college, when I founded a startup called Interact, which scaled to more than 7000 active users in just 3 months and since then, I ve stayed obsessed with backend systems that are fast, stable, and scale effortlessly. Lately, I ve been working on Bifrost, an open-source, and the latest LLM gateway written in Go.

If you're building LLM apps and running into bottlenecks with tools like LiteLLM, Bifrost might be worth a look. It s fully self-hosted, adds only ~11 s mean overhead at 5K RPS, and supports providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Groq, Bedrock, and more. It also comes with built-in monitoring, real-time configuration, governance, MCP support, and a clean web UI to manage it all.

Hiring Bias: Would you rather be judged by a biased human or a biased algorithm?

It is a question of choosing between two evils for us now. Neither option is completely free of flaws.

Human: Recruiters with "gut feelings" who harbor unconscious bias. they reject excellent candidates who just didn't go to the "right" school or didn't just "click." Inconsistent, unfair, and un-auditable.

AI: Algorithms whose training datasets are themselves replete with historical biases. They increase the scale of discrimination at light speed, becoming so-called black boxes that end up rejecting qualified candidates for reasons that humans cannot even fathom.

We are truly deciding to exchange messy, subjective human prejudice for cold, ruthlessly efficient algorithmic prejudice. Is that really an upgrade?

Voice is the new keyboard. But where’s the Ctrl+Z?

We keep saying voice is the future of interfaces but what s the voice equivalent of undo? Tab-complete? Soft delete?

I ve been nerding out on Voice-first UX lately. Not just commands, but command language. What s the grammar of good voice control?

Would love to hear what others are exploring here.

Talking to ChatGPT Helped Me During a Rough Time. But...

Hey PH community

I am Nishargo, one of the builders behind Bolo which is a voice-based emotional insight tool built for people like me, like you, like all of us who sometimes just need to be heard.

Will Vibe Data Analysis be the Future? Let's Discuss!

Vibe coding seems to be a popular concept these days. Instead of writing all the codes by themselves, developers are turning to natural language prompts to simplify the programming process. It seems much more accessible, efficient, and beginner-friendly.

So what about data analysis? It still seems highly professional now, and the majority of people naturally think that they cannot do the data work but have to resort to analysts for help. But maybe with the advance of AI data analysts, everyone can get a customized tool for them to do 'Vibe Data Analysis'--have the data analyzed simply by asking questions to AI.

They just need to upload their dataset, however large it is, ask questions in plain language, and wait for the tool to process. The tool analyzes the data and responds with clear summaries, visualizations of all kinds of charts, and actionable insights, enabling users to make decisions based on solid evidence, without having to spend hours learning softwares, coding skills, or just waiting for an analyst to free up.

For data analysts, their work may become much more easier, as the tools can take over and automate much of the tedious work like data cleaning and calculatiion. They can focus on more creative and valuable aspects, like digging deeper into the data, interpreting the results, and delivering insights to their clients.

Great news for @jakob_knutzen1 , @cheska_teresa , and the entire Butter crew!

What are your secret productivity hacks?

Working and being productive aren t the same thing.

We often sit in front of the laptop for hours, but between context switching, notifications, and tiny distractions.... we barely get real work done.

TIL that you can use the Claude Desktop App to install projects from GitHub. What will you install?

I have been a big fan of @Aqua Voice but do need something local for the times I don't have internet or am traveling. So I wanted to give @OpenWispr a try but didn't really want to go through the whole setup for it... so I gave @Claude for Desktopaccess to my files and computer and... it basically instantly installed the whole thing and got it working!
Then I asked it to package for me as a Mac app (.app) and what do you know... it did! Was honestly kind of amazing. There was one issue that I had to keep troubleshooting and that's sometimes Claude would reference the wrong environment or file... it could figure it out, but just something to pay attention too.

So now you can vibecode and quickly iterate on Open Source software using Claude Desktop, @Cursor, and @Warp. Use Claude to set it up, Cursor to iterate and build, then Warp to polish and debug.

Have there been any Open Source software that has scared you away but you might try install with this method?
