AI is moving fast. Every day there s a new tool promising leverage. Most don t stick.

In 2025, the tools that mattered weren t the flashiest.
They were the ones that quietly saved time on work I already did every day.

Some are now non-negotiable.
Others are on my watchlist because they could replace entire steps, not just speed them up.

What AI tools actually earned a permanent spot in your workflow in 2025?
And which ones do you think will matter in 2026?

About 4 weeks. Preparation matters more than launch-day tactics.

Week 1
Get the basics right. A working product or solid beta, clear ICP, and a sharp one-line value proposition. Start being active on Product Hunt. Comment, engage, and learn how launches behave.

Week 2
Refine your story. Tighten the tagline and description. Create visuals, demo GIFs or a short video.
Week 3
Build momentum. Shortlist supporters who genuinely care. Share progress, not asks. Polish your maker comment and test the flow end-to-end.

Week 4
Execution mode. Final asset checks, launch timing, staggered outreach, and active engagement on comments throughout the day.
No spam. No hacks.
Top launches are rarely spontaneous. They are quietly prepared.

Back in April, we launched Flexprice on Product Hunt.
What followed was 24 hours of chaos, caffeine, and endless browser refreshes that felt like a sport.

By the end of the day, we became Product of the Day.
It was surreal. But the real story started after that.

We spent the next few weeks reading every comment, DM, and bit of feedback.
Some validated what we were building.
Some completely changed how we explained it.

That s when it clicked.
Product Hunt isn t just about visibility.
