Most of us jumped on AI productivity thinking it would reduce the grunt work.

Instead, we now juggle a maze of tools over hundreds of tabs.

The world is changing rapidly due to AI and technology.

New generations (and not only they) have to adapt to changes in the job market.

I know that many of us at PH have a founder mindset.

The world is changing incredibly fast, and I feel like this is true for the tech world in many ways.

Everything seems to be outdated so quickly.

How do you manage to react quickly to changes and not fall short of the bar?

If you're building an AI startup in 2025, you're facing a unique contradiction - your greatest tool is also your biggest existential threat.

Here are the impossible dilemmas keeping AI founders awake:

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.

We ve all seen flashy demos with slick animations but not all of them stick.

So here s the question: what actually makes a product video convincing to you?

Every time I vibe code there is always this huge lift that I constantly have to go through. Authentication, billing, password resets, emails, signup, waitlist, landing page and when it s all said done and the app is ready then comes the marketing, the blogging, the social media automation, the product hunt launch etc etc etc . So much repetitive crap that I have to do just to get a simple app up and running. How do you guys handle all this?

Since I am a coder and a hammer sees everything as a nail, I decided to create all this code as a template so I can jump into building an app right away. There is actually a lot more than what I mentioned above e.g customer support, chat, roadmap for building in public, email flows and more coming.

Hey Product Hunt Narayan here, builder of Metaflow

I ve worn two hats for most of my career.

Hat #1: engineer the one who loves clean abstractions and reliable systems.

Hat #2: growth marketer the one elbow-deep in campaigns, funnels, and dashboards, trying to find signal in the noise.
