Ever check the weather and still not know what to wear or pack? That’s why I built ClimaPal, your AI-powered travel and outfit assistant that blends real-time weather, AI insights, and your style to help you plan smarter, wherever you go.
Sometimes I have a problem to have a look at my past milestones or things I have achieved so far. When I think about it, even creating my first product was a success for me. I ve always been a bit shy and afraid to show what I was working on, or I just didn t know how to present it properly, so it took me a really long time.
My first product was an online workout program with a payment gateway, and the monthly price was ridiculously low. But I managed to monetise it and had my first customers. I was probably around 20 at the time.
What was your first product?
What would you do differently to maintain it and make it successful?
I'll say it bluntly that running a business is not as easy as it is presented on the Internet. You have to come up with a good and useful idea, and even then, you don't win.
You can only see the results after a long time. Not everyone can do it for a long time. To do it, you need to have a strong motive. For some people, it may be a family tradition, for some, money.
The other day on LinkedIn, I came across a competitor in my space. The founder proudly wrote in their bio: "Built the tool from idea to launch in just 2 weeks."
Product Hunt was created specifically to showcase what you do. But let s face it, with the progress of AI, there are more and more products and you don t have time to test them all (respect to @gabe , who does this job brilliantly).
I noticed that as my following grew throughout social media, more people contacted me wanting to test products. Of course, I don t have room for everyone, and what s even more shocking is that to get to me, they want to compensate me for testing.
AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and others are getting better at analyzing products and generating insights. But can it truly provide meaningful feedback?
I'd love to hear your thoughts. Would you trust AI-generated feedbacks on a product?
Creating content in 2025 is super typical. Being a content creator as a founder isn t optional anymore, it s almost a requirement if you want to grow your business and brand. But you have to be consistent. And some people prepare content in advance or post in the moment.
I recently launched my first wellness app, Momentia, a mindful journaling app designed to help people check in with their moods quickly. It s been a rewarding (and humbling) experience, and I wanted to share a few lessons that might help other makers in this space:
Simplicity wins. People don t want a complicated system when it comes to journaling or mental wellness. Small, consistent actions matter more. I discovered this both in my own wellness journey and from early test users.
Community > marketing spend. The most valuable traction so far has come from engaging with communities like this one, not ads.
Your own habits matter. I ve found myself becoming the best test user using the app daily gave me insights I d never get from wireframes or specs.
Feedback is gold. Early testers and even casual users often highlight things I would ve missed as a builder. Just the other day, an early adopter gave me unsolicited feedback in a casual conversation and it turned out to be incredibly valuable.
Launching something in the wellness space has reminded me how important it is to keep things human and approachable. Momentia started as an idea to help me, and I can only hope it helps others, too.
Hi Product Hunt I m Kyle, a longtime product manager (20+ years in design & development) now moonlighting as a maker of AI-powered personal assistant apps.
Through my side venture Stellar Cartography, I m exploring how AI can serve humanity first not profit. I recently launched Momentia, a mindful journaling app that helps people check in with their moods, and I m currently working on ClimaPal, a weather + travel assistant that makes packing easier.
Outside of building apps, I m into music, working on cars, and travel (I actually used ClimaPal s packing logic to prep for a London Iceland cruise).
As Makers, we're constantly juggling product builds, user feedback, marketing, and bug fixes. Time seems to vanish in an instant. Over the past year, I ve found that sometimes it's not a grand strategy or overhaul that makes the difference, but rather one game-changing tool that quietly handles the busywork.
For me, a standout has been Fathom, an AI-powered tool that transcribes meetings and automatically delivers highlight summaries. No more scrambling for bullets during calls, no more post-call backlog. It s saved me hours each week. In fact, users combining tools like Fathom, ChatGPT, Asana, and Zapier have reported reclaiming 20+ hours per week by streamlining writing, research, and task automation.
1/ The ultra-planners. hey schedule everything down to the minute, know who they re meeting three months from now, and already have their 2027 summer vacation mapped out.
Hi all. Sarah here, Head of Content @ Product Hunt. I'm starting up a new article series in our AI newsletter, Deeper Learning, called Ask Kitty. It's a place where you can ask the questions you've been wondering about A.I. but have been too shy to ask. Why? One thing I've learned about A.I. is that a lot of people in tech assume you know a lot of things, and very few people actually know the things (or know them in-depth enough to explain them simply). Sometimes this dynamic prevents us from asking questions. And asking questions is one of the best ways to reduce our knowledge gap. And yes, you could ask ChatGPT, but based on my experience you're unlikely to get the full context you need. Not only will I work to answer your questions, I'll work to find the right people to help me answer them! So ask away!
