Makers, founders, marketers... how do you make sure you're not lowering your standards?

The world is changing incredibly fast, and I feel like this is true for the tech world in many ways.

Everything seems to be outdated so quickly.

How do you manage to react quickly to changes and not fall short of the bar?

Do you think Product Hunt should verify domain ownership for submitted products? 😄

Product Hunt is great for discovery , but sometimes there are concerns about authenticity and trust when products are submitted by people not affiliated with them.

Would verifying domain ownership (e.g., via email or DNS) help ensure that only legitimate makers or teams can submit a product? Or would it add too much friction to the launch process?

Still getting “Meeting detected” when you’re not in a meeting?

TL;DR - https://youtu.be/HNHFhEC98SM

Ever tried recording a quick video message or chatting with ChatGPT and suddenly your AI note-taker like Granola, or Notion pops up saying: Meeting detected!

Does AI actually save us time. Or just change how we waste it?

Some time ago, a friend of mine - a business consultant - brought up something during a live conversation that really stuck with me:

If AI gives us back time, but we don t use that time more wisely - what have we actually gained?

Is there an API that tells me if content is AI generated?

I want to hit an api with some text and get a "likekyhood of ai generated" score. 
does this exist already? I would expect to have to pay which is fine!

Will HR positions survive the rise of AI?

I often see the media sharing articles about layoffs due to AI, how junior programmer positions are less in demand, how there is also a decreased interest in copywriters and graphic designers, etc.

About 2 weeks ago, Teammates launched a tool (AI HR-ist), and right now I came across a post from a local marketer who shared interesting data about Ask AI (an internal AI/chatbot system), which today handles almost 94% of all routine HR requests, such as:

  • vacation requests

  • onboarding new employees

  • payroll information and attendance records

  • benefit selection and answers to basic employment questions

Results of AI implementation at IBM

  • 94% of the HR agenda is automated

  • Payroll, vacation, administration even terminations have been automated

  • $3.5 billion saved

  • 40% drop in HR costs

IBM also claims that employees are happier. The HR department s internal NPS score increased from -35 to +74 after the implementation of AskHR (source: HR Asia). 6% of questions are still directed at people AI has not yet completely replaced complex or emotionally sensitive situations.

Are there products that shouldn’t launch on Product Hunt?

Not every launch is a good fit and that s okay. After following PH closely and launching myself, I ve started thinking about where the line is.

PH is incredible for:

  • Consumer tools with a wow factor

  • Indie hacks that spread through curiosity

  • Startups solving relatable, niche pain points

  • Products with a clear why now

Do you check work emails on the weekend?

I know people who never miss an email, even on a Saturday night.

And I know others who won t even open their inbox until Monday morning no matter what.

When was the last time you felt that raw spark of curiosity… and ignored it?

I mean real curiosity. Like, seeing a headline about dark matter or AI swarms and thinking I should dive into this,

but then doomscrolling, or opening Slack, or just skipping it.

We ve made science feel like homework.

I m building something to fix that. But for now, when was the last time you were curious about something weird or wonderful and didn t follow it? Why not?

A more personal topic: Having (or not having) a family while building a business?

I ve been fairly active on Twitter and have come across several founders and creators who hold very different views when it comes to having a family.

The opinions vary, and I really appreciate that people are open about discussing it.

What’s the one tool in your tech stack that saves you hours every week?

We all have that one tool - the unsung hero quietly doing its job and saving you hours every single week.

For me (no surprise ), it s @Clueso
