Hey Product Hunters!

I ve seen a lot of people jump straight into building an app without validating the idea first. Some succeed, but many end up realizing too late that there s little demand for their product.

With all the excitement and hype around AI coding, there's a thought that bothers me.

AI makes mistakes. A lot. Some goes into production.

From testing new products, I've come to several conclusions and possibly also identified mistakes that product creators make when launching them.

Whenever you want to attract your first testers (especially those who are well-known), try first to build up your credibility.

Hi guys, I am a new founder of an AI agency, Think Bridging AI.

My journey started last year in July when I suddenly had to drop out of 3rd year Mechanical engineering. Honestly, I always wanted to start my own thing and so I was quite excited to finally try it out. Unfortunately, the reality hit, when all those, 'get rich fast', 'get leads fast', and 'get your first customer in 7 days' Youtube channels burst my bubble.

It's not that easy. I still have a client or 2 in the pipeline which took 6 months to get, 100s of emails sent, and stress levels through the roof.

Hello Product Hunt friends!

Juan checking in from the community team. Hope your week is off to a great start!

You barely see in person and sometimes, when you are international in different time zones, you are barely on video meetings + some people working at home can lack socialising.

How do you fix this?

Product Hunt changed my life. A year ago I stepped in as CEO, and a couple weeks ago we launched Product Forums (which you're reading this on!). Before that I founded and launched @Tandem (virtual office - YC S19), and @Cryptagon.io.

Ask me anything about Product Hunt, launching, startups, YC, or what we're trying to do with forums!

I hate to say it and I don't want to sound pessimistic (but it's probably happening already :D)...

with all the conveniences we have, we are so fast and unfortunately also comfortable.
