Are Vertical AI Agents still worth building?
I recently came across some news:
Claude for Financial Services officially launched in mid-July. It s designed specifically for the finance industry, integrating data from platforms like PitchBook, Morningstar, Snowflake, S&P Global, and Databricks to support market research, due diligence, and investment decisions. During early testing, Claude Opus 4 hit 83% accuracy on complex Excel tasks.
It really makes me question how much room there is left for AI Agent startups ----LLMs are getting better at handling more and more tasks on their own.
For an AI Agent to have long-term value, it must be able to understand, remember, and adapt to a user's evolving preferences and context ---- something LLMs still struggle with due to their limited memory and continuity.

π‘ When is the right time to raise investment for a SaaS startup? π°
Hey Product Hunt fam
Would love to hear your take on this,
I built the MVP. Now I have no idea how to market itβ¦.
For those of you who ve been following along first off, thank you. I ve been building Probado, a platform that helps early-stage founders get structured, paid feedback on their MVPs from vetted testers. It s affordable, customizable, and enhanced with AI that helps summarize insights and recommend improvements.
We ve got now 100+ vetted testers onboarded, and the MVP is just about done.
But now I m facing the part that honestly feels the hardest so far: marketing.
What marketing channels actually work in 2025?
The marketing landscape feels completely different than it was even two years ago. Social media algorithms are harder to crack, paid ads are getting more expensive, and everyone's fighting for attention in the same spaces.
Some people swear by TikTok and short-form content. LinkedIn seems to work for B2B but feels oversaturated. Twitter is either dead or thriving depending on who you ask.
Clay has been acquired by Automattic!

Clay is joining Automattic giving us the opportunity to accelerate our mission with greater resources, broader reach, and long-term stability. The platform you love will continue to live on and grow, with our entire team remaining at the helm.
How Would You Build a SaaS Blog Today? (Ghost, WordPress, MDX?)
We're planning our new SaaS blog and could use some advice on the tech stack.
What's the best way to build a blog these days for good SEO and an easy workflow for writers?
We're debating between a CMS (like Ghost/WordPress), building it directly into our app, or a simple static site (MDX). How did you build yours? Curious to hear what you'd recommend!
Also, for early-stage SaaS products still in MVP phase, what setup would you recommend to keep things simple but still SEO-friendly? Is it better to start scrappy with MDX or Notion + super.so-style setups, or go straight for a Headless CMS if we plan to scale content quickly?
Do you still believe in SEO?
Hi there! I've been working in content marketing & SEO for almost a decade - and while I've seen many announcements of the death of SEO, the current search climate, combined with the latest announcements from Google are strong signals that SEO may (finally ) be over.
What do you think? Is "answer engine optimization" the answer?
