Hey Product Hunt community!

I'm excited to share my new WordPress plugin, Verse of the Day - Animated AI.

🎂 Built a 500‑customer B2B SaaS before I turned 18 – AMA

At 15 I trained my first machine learning model and landed an internship at a U.S. company.
At 16 I launched my first startup and promptly ran it into the ground.
I learned more from that failure.

At 17 I launched Pleep, an AI sales rep that lets any business owner integrate AI into their sales workflow in under five minutes. Four months later I quit my job to work on it full time.

Why bother? I kept asking myself: Why isn t there an AI sales monopoly yet? My take: because most competitors deliver AI consultants that talk like robots and kill revenue.
We focused on building a real rep that:

  • Doesn t ask you to prompt or pick an LLM you just tell us about your business and we do the rest.

  • Talks like your top salesperson, not a bot.

  • Books meetings and pushes data back into your CRM.

AI Development for Dummies (I’m the dummy) - plus resources from the real experts

It seems like every product on here these days is AI.

And every AI team is outstanding (I ve even spotted a few in the same category as Meet-Ting - which I actually love, nothing better than building to save people time and bring humans together).

Does it make sense to create a marketing course? [The latest App Mafia "case"]

I don't know what it is, but I feel like everyone was fed up with these courses a year ago (I have to admit that I was also thinking about creating one, but at this time, everyone was profiled as a "marketing guru").

When I thought it was over... ONE BIG SURPRISE... it is not, and some guys on X (called App Mafia) dropped one worth $997.

How we raised £250k before launch (UK-focused, step-by-step, with some hacks)

We just hit:

600+ people on the Meet-Ting waitlist

275+ invites sent

50+ meetings booked

How can you promote your Product Hunt launch offline?

This topic popped into my head because during holidays, vacations, and hot summer days, we re all a little less online, and it shows in the drop in upvotes and reach.

But that also got me thinking: maybe this is the perfect time to talk about your PH launch offline.

Will HR positions survive the rise of AI?

I often see the media sharing articles about layoffs due to AI, how junior programmer positions are less in demand, how there is also a decreased interest in copywriters and graphic designers, etc.

About 2 weeks ago, Teammates launched a tool (AI HR-ist), and right now I came across a post from a local marketer who shared interesting data about Ask AI (an internal AI/chatbot system), which today handles almost 94% of all routine HR requests, such as:

  • vacation requests

  • onboarding new employees

  • payroll information and attendance records

  • benefit selection and answers to basic employment questions

Results of AI implementation at IBM

  • 94% of the HR agenda is automated

  • Payroll, vacation, administration even terminations have been automated

  • $3.5 billion saved

  • 40% drop in HR costs

IBM also claims that employees are happier. The HR department s internal NPS score increased from -35 to +74 after the implementation of AskHR (source: HR Asia). 6% of questions are still directed at people AI has not yet completely replaced complex or emotionally sensitive situations.
