AI brand visibility: First Answer launches on P

The way people discover brands is changing.

It s no longer just about Google, now AI Search happens in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Bing Copilot, Gemini and more.

The future of SEO is GEO — meet First Answer

From day one, I imagined what First Answer could be, and today it s finally live!

We believe brand visibility is shifting fast: it s no longer just about Google.

From SEO to AI Visibility: How will brands adapt?

Over the past months, I ve been building something I ll be launching here on Product Hunt very soon.

The starting point was a simple observation: Search is no longer just Google.

People are turning to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Bing Copilot and others AIs and making decisions directly there.

Are we optimizing our way out of good products?

Every metric can be improved. Every screen can convert better. Every flow can be 5% more efficient.

But lately I ve been wondering, at what point does optimization start subtracting from the soul of a product?

When do smoother funnels make things feel flatter?

Some of my favorite products aren t perfect. They re a little weird. A little slow. A little human.

How would you raise awareness and build marketing around AI Hackathon (offline event)?

For almost 3 or 4 months, there was an idea to create an offline event (Hackathon) where makers could work in a team, network and partially launch a product on Product Hunt (if it is good).

Time is ticking, and I + 2 other guys, are working relentlessly on our first event in the capital city of my country.

Would your product be better without VC money?

Venture capital can be rocket fuel.

But sometimes it feels more like strapping yourself to a rocket you don t fully control.

If I had never raised a dollar, how would my product look different?

What’s the best (or worst) decision you’ve made as a maker?

The past few months, I ve been deep in the weeds building my product. A few choices, some risky, some intuitive, completely changed the direction of the project.

One that stands out: launching before I felt ready. Terrifying at the time, but the flood of real feedback saved me months of guessing.

When your inner voice is tired of waiting

Hey Product Hunt,

I m Tatyana - a marketer, psychologist, and author of the book The Meaning of Life and Its Marketing . I ve spent my career connecting meaning, business, and people. Now I m adding fate.

Together with my partners from N0 FATE, we are soon launching Hidden Self - a pocket Freud that knows you better than your mom and can put into words what you re actually feeling.

It s not another AI-generated mental health app. In fact, it s not AI at all.

What I Learned From Launching My First Wellness App

I recently launched my first wellness app, Momentia, a mindful journaling app designed to help people check in with their moods quickly. It s been a rewarding (and humbling) experience, and I wanted to share a few lessons that might help other makers in this space:

  1. Simplicity wins. People don t want a complicated system when it comes to journaling or mental wellness. Small, consistent actions matter more. I discovered this both in my own wellness journey and from early test users.

  2. Community > marketing spend. The most valuable traction so far has come from engaging with communities like this one, not ads.

  3. Your own habits matter. I ve found myself becoming the best test user using the app daily gave me insights I d never get from wireframes or specs.

  4. Feedback is gold. Early testers and even casual users often highlight things I would ve missed as a builder. Just the other day, an early adopter gave me unsolicited feedback in a casual conversation and it turned out to be incredibly valuable.

Launching something in the wellness space has reminded me how important it is to keep things human and approachable. Momentia started as an idea to help me, and I can only hope it helps others, too.

Marketing manager building AI coding tools with some friends

Hey Product Hunt

I m Shirley, a marketing manager currently building Lumi.new with some friends. It s a natural-language-to-code playground think AI coding, but with stronger handling of more complex scenarios (though it s not always easy to show that in a quick demo).

Hi Product Hunt, I'm an IT sysadmin trying to make something useful

Hi everyone, I'm an experienced IT system administrator, not a software engineer, but I've been dabbling in code since I was a kid. While I'm not a vibe coder, introducing AI assistance into my projects has supercharged my skills and accelerated my learning. I truly believe one of my latest side projects can now be a viable business.

My app aims to fill a gap in the IT knowledge base market, offering a product that lets IT teams save significant time, provide better end-user support, and offload tedious maintenance. This is not yet another buzzy AI app that throws prompts at you, this is a fully packaged solution with human-reviewed content ready to go out of the box.

Product Hunt discontinued coming soon / teaser pages. Did they work for you?

I noticed that Product Hunt discontinued the teaser / coming soon section this week, and I m curious if it did help you build genuine traction? 

My take (from hunting PH launches):

Creating buzzzzz.... Invites, Waitlists or Open

I've read a lot of conflicting views on this ... I'd love some advice.

We're about to relaunch our news platform ... which has been locked behind an "invite code" for a few months in ~beta state ... and we'd like to create some buzz!!..

How To Grab Attention (inc. some cool YC-founder templates)

I wrote last week about how we re building Ting on two axes: one to get attention, the other to build the product.

On attention, we re doing pretty well in 3-weeks:

  • 1k on the waitlist.

  • 200 people have joined meetings booked by Ting already.

  • 375 invites sent out so far...

We Built a Tool to See What AI Says About Your Brand

Hey Product Hunt!

I m Rodrigo, founder of First Answer.

We ve all noticed that AI tools like ChatGPT or Perplexity are starting to shape how people discover brands and products. The tricky part? Unlike Google search, there s no clear way to see if or how your brand shows up in those AI answers or if competitors are getting the spotlight instead.

That s what we re solving with First Answer: helping brands track their presence in AI-generated answers, compare visibility against competitors, and get insights on where they re winning or losing in this new landscape.

You built It. It’s great. But will AI ever recommend It?

Lately I ve been thinking a lot about how we discover new tools and solutions. Not just Googling stuff.

I mean when you ask ChatGPT or any other AI:

Should the internet be age-gated and ID verified?

So recently the EU implemented digital age verification that caused people to figure out that they could use Death Stranding's photo mode to get around the verification process (lol).
The USA is about to start implementing something similar and Apple is supporting age verification through things like Verify with Wallet API.
The internet has always been the place of "freedom" and safe haven for folks, is this step towards verification something that might eventually change that into a more restricted digital knowledge base?
I'm totally in agreement with moderating how content can be distributed so it's safe for children but for some reason something feels a little off to me about this. I'm curious what everyone thinks!
How do you think these type of policies will impact our future ability to interact with the digital world?
