You ve built something new. It solves a real problem. The team s excited, you ve shipped it, the feature s live...

And then crickets.

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 made a move to @Linear at Product Hunt within the past 6 months. Curious if other startups using @Linear have adopted it company wide. Or is it primarily used by the EPD team and the rest of the company uses different PM tools? And if so, how is it working?

We were previously on @Asana . I like to say I am tool-agnostic, and can adapt our company processes to whatever tool the team will use, but with many project management tools, I had my love/hate relationship with Asana. @Notion works well as our homebase for company and project documentation, brainstorming, etc. and can even work for simple task/project management (I love their inline databases). But if you're looking for more robust tools, I haven't seen Notion up to the task. I have also tried@Trello , @Todoist , @Basecamp , @ClickUp etc at other companies.
