Currently most of them tools launching on producthunt are on AI. If you are not building a tool related to AI are you feeling pressure?

I do, but then, I cannot allocate developer time - costly - when I have zero confidence that AI APIs will be affordable. I think first prices we're seeing are just that: initial prices. Likely to change.

Every other launch on producthunt seems to be around ChatGPT. How do you cope up with it
@matcha_anil I think its a good thing as the tech is still new and diverse applications help us explore the potential. BTW, I think along with GTP many other products are launched on PH as well. Yesterday I found a product about AIrport Maps which was impressive. Also, today we have launched Wavel AI which is more to do with Voice AI. Do check it out.
Yes, many products looking to have quick wins in #chatgpt hype, but a unique niche will stay for a long. Stick to your niche :)
@yash_gandhi4 Strongly agree. The path to commercialisation is long and needs lot more than a tech hype.
@yash_gandhi4 Wise words. Only fear is if these AI products will replace the existing products not incorporating AI into the tool
@matcha_anil The best is to observe these trends closely, listen to your customers and put these AI models into your product once you see a fit. Avoid hypes as sometimes it's hard to follow for quick gains and stick to your plans/niche.
No FOMO. Just curious to see how it is being used. Learning along the way.
Doesn't apply to me haha, already have an AI tool: evoke-app.com
But can definitely sympathise with people building non-AI tools
I don't think the ChatGPT trend to go down for the next 3 months at least, so you have time to polish your MVP before launching.
Launching first typically isn't the best metric for identifying winners. Good luck
We're building a product that's all about meaningful human connection and interaction. I think with all the AI-generated content, people will value authenticity even more.
AI is just a hammer, not a hole; "building something people want" is still the key!
wouldnt say pressure, but we got to keep up with the trend!
