Hi all!

I ve been chatting with indie podcasters and noticed a common theme: once an episode goes live, it s hard to know what really worked.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a little project I ve been working on. It s a simple AI tool that looks at your resume and suggests some career paths you might or might not have thought about, based on your skills and experience.

It s still in the early stages (an MVP), so it s not perfect yet. Completely made with Lovable since I don't have a coding background.
I d really love if you could try it out and let me know what you think what works, what doesn t, or what could be better.

Hey Product Hunt!

I m Niall. I ve spent the last 10+ years in SaaS marketing, podcasting, and helping build a startup that was acquired by Siemens. Along the way, I ve hosted shows, worked with creators, and seen firsthand how hard it is to get meaningful feedback on podcast content.

That s why I m building PodCritic, an AI-powered tool that helps indie podcasters understand what s working in their episodes, what s not, and how to improve. It s like having an editorial team and performance coach in your corner, without needing a big budget or production crew.

With PodCritic, you get:

Lately it feels like everywhere I look there is content being spun up by AI. Blogs / emails / socials etc. - all starting to sound kind of the same. I'm really starting to notice it in my own inbox - tons of emails feel polished but a little... robotic? Clearly an LLM has had a hand in it (mind you its great when working with customers who speak another language).

It makes me wonder if the real pivot is actually back in the other direction. Do we start to see copy that is more casual / almost raw and unpolished (slang / grammatically incorrect haha?) and more human as a way to stand out?

When LLMs get really good at writing polished copy from prompts - what role is left for humans? (dystopian kinda)
Are we just lightly amending what AI writes, or is there a bigger opportunity for people who lean hard into personality, community, and voice in a way AI cannot replicate? (its likely AI will soon be able to replicate this **)

I feel like there might be a split coming... AI will take care of the bulk content (support docs / SOPs / Technical docs etc) but the stuff people actually connect with (landing pages / positioning for brand etc) could end up being unpolished / human and super casual.
Curious how others see it. Do you think authenticity becomes the main differentiator or does copy evolve in a different direction? (I'd love to hear what direction people see things evolving?)
What % of your posts are written by AI? (for bonus points)

As someone who's worked for a long time in both the "content creation tools" and "educational content" industries, this is a question I get asked all the time.

The answer is both simple and complicated.

Hello Friends,
I struggle with getting legitimate feedback on a new concept before trying to take it to market. I don't want to launch the product before all of the small issues are worked out or any legitimate feedback is provided. For instance, I just built this micro-product for personal use but I feel like it could be useful to others and maybe eventually launch on product hunt.
However, I don't want to even consider that before getting feedback. I've tried friends and family but those aren't the most reliable for getting honest true feedback. Where do you go pre-launch for feedback and how do you collect this data?
The url for my micro product is: https://myplanstoday.com . It is of course free, you just have to verify your email address. Any feedback on where you have acquired test users, even if it's a paid service would be most helpful.
Regards,
