Are product launches and hunts increasing on PH since we have generative AI and vibe coding?

I am wondering if it's just me or if there are many more products to browse here on Producthunt every day since Vibe Coding joined the chat. I have been here for quite a few years and have seen lots of launches and hunts. But over the last one to two years, I have seen many more products being launched per day. So also more time needed for me to find good products.

Maybe the Producthunt staff could show statistics on product launches per day over the last six years. That would be really interesting. If the Producthunt staff are reading this, please provide us with the statistics. I would love to see them.

So, what are your thoughts on this? Do you think there has been an increase in good products, or just an increase in low-quality products resulting from Vibe Coding? Let's discuss it!

VSCO plays catchup with Adobe and Google with new "AI Lab"

From TechCrunch:

Video editing app VSCO is adding a set of new AI image editing tools, support for high-resolution RAW files, non-destructive edits, and content-aware region detection.

The AI tools will be housed in a new tab called AI Lab, which also brings AI-powered object removal chops, similar to Google and Apple s homegrown offerings.

From "What's Product Hunt?" to #1 Product of the Day 🚀 Hi, I'm Hira, AMA!

Two months ago, I'd never heard of Product Hunt. When I told people we were launching @AI Context Flow here, they told me to keep my expectations in check.

Fast forward to today: #1 Product of the Day and #1 Productivity Tool of the Week.

The journey was chaotic, humbling, and honestly surreal. If you'd told me this would happen, I wouldn't have believed you.

To everyone who upvoted, commented, and cheered us on: Thank you. Your support means everything and keeps us building.

How I spent ten years on 18 projects to understand the fundamental rule of startups

My journey in startups began 10 years ago, and I've launched 18 startups, most of which failed. Briefly on why they failed:
1. Contract Online my first startup in 2015, which was supposed to be an online service for remote signing of contracts for any transactions between individuals. A kind of analogue of a secure transaction. For this startup, I even managed to attract a business angel who invested $16,500.

Reason for failure: I had two lawyers on my team who discovered in the process that the legal framework at the time could not provide reliable grounds for protecting our users in remote transactions. The contracts would not have been considered legally signed.
2. Natural Products In 2015-2018, I became very passionate about healthy eating, but in the process, I discovered that products in all chain stores are full of chemicals, and stores with truly natural products are inaccessible to the majority. Hence, the idea emerged to create my own online platform where you could order natural products directly from farmers at affordable prices.

Reason for failure: For several years, I tried to launch this project, even trained as a baker of natural bread and tried to create my own farm, but in the process, I found that few people are willing to pay for truly natural products, even if these products were only 20-30% more expensive than market prices, and not 2-3 times more, as in premium stores. Hence, the market was so small that all my attempts were doomed.

Can AI really sound human enough to manage customer conversations?

Today, on the PH homepage leaderboard I noticed a product named Peakflo AI Voice Agents, human-like AIs that can make and receive business calls, remember context, update CRMs and trigger workflows automatically.

Basically, they act like real team members answering calls 24/7, handling follow-ups and syncing everything with your systems.

Analyzing traffic from Product Hubs

Launched in 2022, Product Hubs are your permanent company page on Product Hunt, different from your launch pages.

I recently ran an experiment analyzing organic traffic from these hubs over 30 days. Here's what I learned.

The State of Vibe Coding 2025 - Key Takeaways

The @v0 by Vercel team recently dug into industry trends to publish the first State of Vibe Coding report.

My key takeaways:

  1. Everyone can build: 63% of vibe coding users are non-developers, generating UIs (44%), full-stack apps (20%), and personal software (11%).

  2. Adoption is everywhere, with significant adoption rates in APAC (40.7%), Europe (18.1%), North America (13.9%), and LATAM (13.8%).

  3. 92% of US developers use AI coding tools every day

  4. 30% of new code at @Google is generated by AI

  5. 25% of @Y Combinator startups rely on AI-generated code

  6. Rapid expansion has a cost. Vibe coding apps keep hitting vulnerabilities: exposing secrets, access misconfigurations, hardcoded credentials.

  7. The future: going mainstream or hitting its sweet spot in working MVPs, the vibe coding trend is here to stay, and it's happening now.
