Been thinking about this a lot lately.

Code gen has gotten really good. You can ask an AI to make a landing page, a product site, even a full app flow, and it ll give you something usable fast.

But most of the time, it still feels like AI made it.

Not broken.
Not even ugly.

An MIT paper on LLM use recently caught my attention researchers found that regular use for simple tasks can measurably reduce cognitive engagement over time. There's a good discussion of it here:

So I went back through my own ChatGPT history out of curiosity.

A lot of "rewrite this sentence," "what's the word for X," "give me a synonym for Y." Things I already knew or would've figured out in a minute or two. I wasn't using AI as a tool. I was using it as a reflex.

Same with feeds opening Twitter with no intent, scrolling, closing, opening again with no memory of what I was looking for. My thumb was running the show.

Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Loy, founder of Buystocklot. We're launching 2.0 today and I wanted to share what we're building and why.
The problem:
The $200B+ wholesale stocklot industry still runs on WhatsApp groups, cold emails, and "who you know." Buyers waste weeks finding the right deal. Sellers list on 10 platforms hoping someone finds them. There's zero price transparency, no trust system, and no real marketplace connecting the two sides.
What we built:
Buystocklot is an AI-powered B2B marketplace specifically for wholesale stocklots surplus inventory, overstock, closeouts, off-price branded goods. Think of it as the "missing infrastructure" for an industry that trades billions but operates like it's 2005.
What makes 2.0 different:
Bix (AI Matching) Our AI assistant that learns what buyers want and proactively matches them with new listings the moment they drop. No more endless scrolling.
Market Intelligence Real-time wholesale pricing data by category, condition, and location. Nobody else provides this. We want to be the Bloomberg of wholesale stocklots.
Live Auctions & Flash Deals Time-limited stocklot auctions with real-time bidding. Creates urgency and better price discovery. First in the industry.
Verified Traders Seller verification, trust badges, and deal history. Because trust is everything in B2B.
RFQ System Buyers post what they need, sellers compete to fill orders. Reverses the marketplace dynamic.
Who it's for:
Wholesalers, distributors, liquidators, off-price retailers, importers/exporters anyone buying or selling bulk inventory across clothing, footwear, electronics, beauty, and more.
The vision:
Make wholesale trade as easy as retail e-commerce. Every stocklot trader in the world should be able to find a deal or a buyer in minutes, not weeks.

We ve been building Voizematic over the past few months, and one thing became very clear:

Most AI voice agents today are really good at conversations

But businesses don t actually care about conversations they care about outcomes.

Things like:
Did this call convert?
Was this lead qualified?
What action happened after the call?

Last month, I did something that felt slightly insane.

I took our product description, fed it into ChatGPT, and asked it to build a competitor. Not a parody. A real competitor. Better features, better positioning, better everything. I told it to be ruthless.

It did!

The output was polished. Confident. Structured like a real go-to-market plan. It named features we don t have. It positioned itself against us. It looked like a threat on paper.

It may feel like you ve considered everything:
product page, positioning, network support, social media content even day planning.

We thought we did too.

Hey all,

I wrote a forum post not long ago on marketing as one of the rising in importance hires for all startups. This is all the things we've done, with some results and free resources.

Six months ago, I launched a product.

Beautiful landing page. Great onboarding. Real customers. Solid retention.

One problem: AI never mentioned it.

Not in ChatGPT. Not in Perplexity. Not in Gemini.

Let me start from the creator s perspective:
I personally don t have a product (apart from hiring people for creative work or offering personal consultations).

But as a creator, I constantly share content, insights, and information, value that helps me build trust (for free). Based on that perceived expertise, people eventually decide to work with me (a paid service).
