Is it morally right to cheat with AI? Contradictory products deal with this idea in different ways.

I saw an article on TechCrunch discussing Cluely (created by Chungin Roy Lee and Neel Shanmugam).

TL;DR: The AI tool, originally developed to cheat on software engineering interviews, now helps users cheat on exams, sales calls, and job interviews through a hidden in-browser window. And now has raised $5+ million.

Steal this idea: What's a product you wish someone else would build?

Ever had a random idea and thought, Someone should totally build this ? Drop it here.

This thread s for the stuff you don t want to build yourself but really wish existed. Weird, useful, hilarious, oddly specific all fair game.

What kind of apps would earn you more money?

I see a lot of tech products on Product Hunt that are meant to improve someone else's business situation, and as many makers as possible are ideally targeting the B2B market.

However, this past week I've also seen a lot of "fun" products that not only made it into the featured category but also earned one of the product of the day titles.

Has AI helped you do what you couldn't before? Or still figuring it out?

I think by 2030, the real question won't be "Do you use AI?" but "Can you work without it?"

I noticed this in my own life recently. 

I always said "I'm terrible at design" whenever I needed to make something look nice.

Help me quit Chrome

I've been using @Google Chrome for years and honestly never thought much about changing. It just always seemed like the best and easiest option. Lately though, I've been feeling like maybe I'm missing out. Chrome doesn't feel like the no-brainer pick anymore, and I'm seeing more and more interesting browsers out there.

Currently, @Horse is my top pick. This is the one I'm most interested in trying out, but it also seems like a pretty different approach. I don't necessarily want my productivity to dip, but that may just be inevitable whenever switching.

Are AI comments a (good) future for social media?

Today I read this message:
Instagram has just added the ability to write comments with AI.

A similar option LinkedIn has (it offers pre-written recommended comments like "Congratulations")

Do you think software will lose its value as a product to build?

Building software is literally getting easier and easier. What I ve noticed is that just a few years ago, you really needed knowledge, a team, and solid know-how to make the whole process work.

But now, with all these tools popping up on the market almost daily like Cursor, Bolt, Lovable, and so many others it s incredibly easy to build software.

Do you think AI is improving education, or does it make students too dependent?

I have seen multiple launches here (on PH) providing AI solutions to the student exam preparations (and its really helpful).
Students can now find fast and simple solutions to their problems or study plans as AI helps them fast and easily.
They can now study anytime, anywhere, with no need for anyone's time (24/7 available).

But everyone has its own +ve & -ve thoughts in an easy way (suggestions/improvements)
so what are your thoughts about it?

What's your biggest pain point or frustration with current language-learning apps? 

Hello Everyone!

We're building a personalized language-learning app inspired by our own experiences and frustrations with the one-size-fits-all approach of traditional apps. Our goal is to offer customized and adaptive learning paths, powered by user data and tailored to individual interests, goals, and motivations.

I won t go into full pitch mode just yet, but we d love to start a discussion around this question:

  • What s your biggest pain point or frustration with current language-learning apps?

What capabilities do you think the next generation of AI browsers should have?

We are currently looking for some new possibilities in the AI era, and browsers seem to be a good starting point. What capabilities do you think browsers should have in the AI era? Or, will browsers still exist in the future?

I'd like to share my thoughts first. I believe an AI browser should be a small AI OS:

  1. Excellent reading experience, with summarization and generalization capabilities.

  2. AI Agent capabilities, with the ability to automate most operations and predict behavior.

  3. An AI Agent Store, replacing the current plugin system.

  4. A good AI browser is a good MCP Services.

  5. A good AI browser must have excellent privacy management features.

Struggling to get the .com for your product? Of course you are.

You just brainstormed the perfect business name. You re excited! You rush to buy the .com. Taken. Of course it is. They seemingly always are. But don't stress. You're in good company. Take a look at these companies who went on to raise ~$575 million without the .com... there's some gems in here. Notion, June, Loops, Amie (.so) Twitch (.tv) Workspaces, Visible (.xyz) ProductHunt (started on .co) Levels (.fyi) WordPress, freeCodeCamp (.org) CodePen, Itch (.io) Carrd, VSCO (.co) Behance, SlideShare, Speedtest (.net) About (.me) Copy AI, Jenni (.ai) Campsite (started on .design) Graphy (.app) Poolsuite (.fm)
