Product update: Polyglotta is evolving (a lot)

Polyglotta started as a multilingual translator, but it s becoming something broader: a language-first AI companion for people who think across languages. Instead of translating A B , Polyglotta is built around seeing meaning across many languages at once so you can notice what shifts, what stays, and what gets lost in between.


Here s what s new (and why it matters): You can now translate across a bigger set of languages, with an experience designed for multilingual context rather than one-pair-at-a-time translation. Polyglotta supports 70+ languages, multilingual context, and custom-optimized AI models aimed at more accurate, context-aware results.
There s also a clearer split between two ways of using the app: Translate mode for fast multi-target translations, and Ask mode when you want help understanding what s going on (explanations, examples, nuance).
Audio is a first-class feature now, too. Membership includes high-quality audio pronunciations, so you can read, hear, and internalize phrases not just copy/paste them.
Probably the most Polyglotta change: translations aren t treated as final answers. Each translation can become a place to refine meaning with real people threads for feedback, context, and improvements so the app gets smarter through collective input. If something feels off, the workflow is simple: downvote, comment, and help steer it toward something more natural.
And if you want to go deeper with others, the community space is set up like a collaborative workshop: share feedback, spot weird translations, test ideas, and learn from each other s language insights.
If you haven t tried Polyglotta in a while, the easiest way to feel the change is: pick a phrase you care about, translate it into a handful of languages, then switch to Ask mode and interrogate the why behind the differences.

We co-built the backbone for a $1B company. Now we have a "SaaS engine" and need sales partners.

Hi PH community,

We're a team of builders. Years ago, we co-founded a dev shop that became the core contractor for a major US company. We built their platform backbone. That company grew to 50,000+ contractors, valuation went 20x, crossed a billion dollars.

We built the engine. They owned the car.

Things that make a good difference at a launch on Product Hunt

Whenever I browse product launches, I somehow subconsciously judge not only the product itself and its quality, but also the quality that is reflected in the effort the makers put into preparing it.

It may sound insignificant, but in my case, these things also make a significant difference:

  • Icon GIF at the launch it enlivens the overall impression and is dynamic

  • Quality graphics and video

  • First, a properly filled-out comment

  • Photos in the makers' profiles (it's less trustworthy for me when there's only the letter "J" or something similar)

  • Whether any of my contacts or acquaintances on the platform reacted to the launch

StudyCrew — Gamified AI Study Platform for Students

Turn studying into a game. Level up your brain, track your progress, and flex your streaks.

Hey Product Hunt!

We re building StudyCrew, a gamified study platform that turns the grind into a game. Think XP, streaks, badges, AI tutors, social study boards, and smart tools that actually help you focus all in one place.

Feature Update: Rolling Conversation Summaries — Cut Chat Costs Without Losing Context

We built a feature to solve a problem most AI apps eventually run into:

The longer the conversation, the more you keep paying to resend the entire chat history over and over.

The "Dark Matter" of Intelligence: Why I am building Callable* - YouTube+MasterClass but interactive

I have a list of 50 people that I would kill to have a coffee with. Niche founders, retired experts, brilliant writers.

But the reality is: They won't read my cold email. And honestly, they shouldn't have to. They are busy.

The 10% Problem
I realized that for all the crawling Google and OpenAI do, they have only captured maybe 10% of human intelligence. The other 90% the "Dark Matter" of wisdom is still locked inside people's heads, private journals, or offline experiences. It is "gatekept" by time and physics.

So… What’s in Your Vibe Coding Stack Right Now? (2026)

AI dev tools are moving stupid fast. Every few weeks, there s a new must-use. Some stick. Most don t.

Some vibe coders are developing full products with @ChatGPT by OpenAI+ @Replit. Others swear by @Cursor + @Claude by Anthropic . A few are mixing @Lovable , @v0 by Vercel , and @bolt.new . New and shipping way faster than expected.

I ve been refining my own vibe stack lately.
Building with @Google Antigravity at the core. It keeps the flow clean when things get messy.

Share your current Vibe Stack:

20,000 users... Just in time for the new year!

20,000 users. Just in time for the new year
It s not a finish line. Just another step.
If you used Pretty Prompt even once this year, this one s yours too.

I can't believe we got here in just 7 months, all from that first PH launch...
Tonight, it s a glass of Malbec and family time.
Short pause to close 2025. Then back to building.
