@busmark_w_nika Seniority was always a proxy for judgment, not hours logged. The problem is we used years of experience as a shortcut for "this person has seen enough things go wrong that they know how to avoid them." AI collapses the time it takes to produce an output but it doesn't collapse the time it takes to develop judgment about which output is actually right. I taught at university...
How do we define “seniority” and career/skill progress in the age of AI?

@marcworms Very interesting. But does it create and export 3d models (in formats such as fbx, obj, etc), or is it just generating images using 3d look styling?

Umair is right on, the 90% rubber stamping was never the real friction, it was just the visible friction. The actual problem is the 10% where you need to understand what Claude is trying to do and why before you can make a good call. If the classifier just blocks those with a generic message and no context, you've traded one interruption for a worse one. What I'd want from auto mode is not just...

This solves a real problem. Right now I have a Chrome tab permanently open just to monitor usage, which is exactly the kind of friction that shouldn't exist when you're deep in a session. The normalisation across tools is the hard part you probably don't get credit for in the headline. Each tool storing session data in different formats and locations means this isn't just a dashboard, it's a...

Coming at this from the other side: I'm a founder who has built a personal brand over years in my industry, and now it genuinely serves the company. But the keyword is "built." It was mine first, built on my own time and interests, and the company benefits from that because people trust the person behind it, not because I'm posting ads. That's a very different thing from a company asking...
Brands use employees’ social networks as influencers. But what do employees get out of it?

Solving the consistency problem is genuinely interesting from a brand perspective. I work in branding and the single biggest friction with AI imagery for brand use is that you can generate one great image but can't 100% reliably reproduce the same character, lighting feel, or aesthetic across a campaign. If Soul ID holds across wildly different setups that's a real workflow unlock for brand...

Every CRM I've tried has the same failure mode: it's only as good as what people remember to put into it, and nobody does consistently. The auto-capture from emails and calendar is the piece that actually solves the behaviour problem rather than just the interface problem. Most CRM redesigns just make it easier to enter data manually. This skips the entry step entirely, which is a different...

I use Claude Code daily and have been building since it started, so this hits close. Garry Tan's setup going viral is interesting mostly because of what it reveals about who benefits. The people getting 10x faster from agents are already exceptional builders and product architects. The agents amplify judgment; they don't replace it. If your instincts about what to build are wrong, agents just...

Not a bubble, it's a real pattern. But I think the causality is more complicated than it looks. I'm a founder with two kids under 5. My wife runs an international NGO and travels extensively. We're deep in it on both sides simultaneously, and I won't pretend it's clean or easy. But the framing of "building a business means family isn't a priority" doesn't match my experience. It's more than...
Are builders so busy building businesses that starting a family isn’t a priority?

Launched brandingstudio.ai four days ago, and this thread is basically my post-mortem in real time. What I'd do differently: activate the waitlist earlier and harder. I had ~50 beta testers but didn't mobilise them as a coordinated launch day asset. Some voted, most didn't, most didn't even know what PH was. That's on me for not building the habit loop early enough. The landing page point hits...
What would you do differently if you launched on Product Hunt again?

The self-healing piece is what catches my attention most. Every automation platform can build workflows. Very few can maintain them when the underlying services change, which they always do. If the agent genuinely detects and fixes breakages without manual intervention, that's a much harder problem than the builder itself. To answer Jan's questions directly: "earn from your workflows" lands...

The scheduling step kills momentum at exactly the wrong moment, when a prospect is most curious and most ready to engage. The 10-20% visitor-to-demo conversion stat is quite impressive - what was your sample? Most SaaS websites convert visitors to signups at 1-5%, so getting someone into an actual product walkthrough at that rate would be a meaningful shift in how the top of funnel works. The...

The zombie feeling is the perfect description for what makes short-form video genuinely exhausting. App blockers never worked for me either because the problem isn't the time spent, it's the lack of intention behind it. Categorized feeds that run out is a genuinely different mental model. To answer your question: I think infinite scroll is a design choice that became an assumption. Short-form...

Three days in. Thank you all!
We launched on Monday. We ended up at #6. Not the top 3 I quietly hoped for. But I want to be honest about what the day actually gave me, because it wasn't what I expected. I built BrandingStudio.ai mostly alone, from Porto/Portugal, over the past year. No PH network. No launch team. No one ready to vote when it went live (except my wife - thank you!). Just a product I believed in after over 20...

Hey @busmark_w_nika Just launched brandingstudio.ai yesterday and ended up at #6, so this thread is perfectly timed. Going in, my goal wasn't #1. It was validation and the SEO/directory tail that Aleksandar mentioned. For an AI branding platform in a category that most people haven't fully mapped yet, getting in front of 500+ engaged PH visitors who actually read about the product and comment...
What do you expect from Product Hunt when you launch here? [motivation and reasoning]
Joao Seabraleft a comment
Launched brandingstudio.ai on Product Hunt yesterday, so this thread is hitting differently. We went with a free tier that lets people complete the first module, BrandDNA, in full. They get real, substantive brand strategy insights before ever seeing a paywall. The reasoning was exactly what Gianmarco said: the aha moment has to land before you ask someone to pay. For branding that moment is...

Most scrapers fight the rendered HTML. This goes upstream to where the data actually comes from, am I understanding that right? That's quite interesting. What gets me most is the stability angle. Anything built on CSS selectors or DOM structure breaks the moment a site redesigns its front-end. If you're anchored to the underlying API calls instead, that problem should mostly disappear. I'm...

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm João — first time launching here, so bear with me. I spent 20 years building brand identities for companies like Coca-Cola, HSBC, AT&T, and Bank of America. The methodology always worked just as well for a 3-person startup as for a Fortune 500. But at $150K–$500K and 6+ months, only big companies could access it. I kept thinking: what if the process itself could be made...

The launch timing is perfect. Launching the day before FP1 in Melbourne is exactly the right move and honestly the best possible product demo you could ask for. The official F1 app has always been too heavy for what most fans actually need during a session. A native menu bar app that gives you live timing without pulling you out of your workflow is the version I've wanted for years. Qualifying...
