Lately, I ve been reflecting on the quiet fear that, as AI tools become better at creating art, writing, and design, creativity itself might lose its meaning.

It feels like a valid concern because:

• AI can produce beautiful art and music faster than a human ever could,

• Many creative fields are shifting from original creation to "curating" or "editing" AI outputs,

• Instant generation often replaces slow, imperfect human exploration,

• Younger generations are growing up with AI co-creation as the norm, not the exception.

I wonder:
Will true creativity still matter when "good enough" is instantly available?

Hey planners, overthinkers, and goal-getters!

How many tabs are open in your brain right now?

(Ever feel like your to-do list is working against you? You re not alone. Between deadlines, shifting priorities, and that ever-growing I ll get to it later pile, staying organized can feel like a part-time job.)

What if you could hand that chaos to an AI that doesn t just spit out robotic schedules, but thinks like you ?

Personally, I was laid off a year ago and currently bottoming out on savings. Every day is not guaranteed, quite literally, at this point. Yet, I keep my head down and continue building out a product relentlessly that I, quite frankly, have no idea how it will turn out.
Many of us took this leap of faith and are under strenuous circumstances, especially in the current market. If you're in similar positions, just know that everything will work out! Fortune favors the bold.
We're in this together! I would love to hear your stories.

A few days ago, I listened to a Czech video cast where the idea was that in a few years, the teaching position will lose its relevance.

This seems like a quite realistic prognosis to me, because:

• The teaching position is not particularly valued,

• AI knows more information than a teacher,

• AI does not sharply confront the user, which encourages people to ask questions and think critically (this can sometimes not be said about the school system)

• More and more young people prefer to communicate with Chatgpt than with an "educational authority"

Finding the right cofounder is hard and it s even harder to know where to start. This thread is for anyone who s either:

Looking for a cofounder to join your project or company
Looking to join a startup as a cofounder, early builder, or technical lead

Hey fellow builders!

I m a solopreneur currently launching my first SaaS (Aurexa), and I ll be building multiple small apps/tools in the future all revenue-generating.

Right now I m setting up Stripe for payments and I m wondering:

How do YOU structure your Stripe account(s)?

If you had to make image or video with sound to publish what tools would you use? What type of content do you (or would you) produce with those tools?

Some tools I'm thinking of are

• @Sora by OpenAI for video

• @Suno.ai for music gen

• @ChatGPT by OpenAI for image gen

• and maybe something like @ReelFarm for UCG-esque automated content.

Hey folks,

I m building SaaS product on a ramen budget. The painful surprise? My burn on must have SaaS and Cloud is eclipsing what I can put into marketing and product.

I keep hearing legends about founders stacking thousands in credits or discounts. But every blog post feels dated or locked behind an accelerator gate.

If you ve personally snagged legit credits (not referral spam), could you share:

Is it truly vibe coding if there aren't tunes making the vibes...well...vibey. Thought it'd be fun to put together a YouTube playlist of what everyone listens to when building! I'll take all the links and make a playlist on YouTube after a couple of days :)
Just drop the link and tag the tool that you mostly use. I'll start!
I vibe with Black Coffee and mostly use @Cursor!

Besides generating text, images and videos for you in a few seconds/minutes, AI can certainly do other things.

What unusual uses of AI have you seen?

It used to be fashionable to be "in stealth," but then our collective wisdom shifted to "launch early and launch often." In my experience, there are two good reasons for this:

The first reason is that it's often more important to figure out whether people want what you're building than it is to figure out whether you can build the best possible version of it. Launching early gives you the opportunity to either pivot or iterate quickly. Launching is learning.

Hi everyone! Please welcome this week's Maker's Corner feature, @themisty , Founder of @Nonilion

Hey Product Hunt!
This morning I launched my first solo product ever: Controol a minimalist finance app built around one idea:

Know how much you can spend, not just what you already did.

No team. No paid ads. No launch list. Just late nights and building something I personally needed.
I honestly didn t expect much but hours later, it made it to the Top 5 of the day

The feeling? Wild.
Strangers are connecting with the mindset behind it, and it's been amazing to read their comments.

Ever had a random idea and thought, Someone should totally build this ? Drop it here.

This thread s for the stuff you don t want to build yourself but really wish existed. Weird, useful, hilarious, oddly specific all fair game.

I'm currently building a tiny tool to reduce churn for SaaS products using Stripe, something super simple:

But before I go too far, I m genuinely curious...

How do YOU handle cancellations right now?

• Do you ask why they leave to improve your product?

• Do you offer a discount? A pause?

• Or just let them go?

I love my Fellow Aiden coffee brewer. They truly are the Apple of coffee...!

Now they're getting into espresso:

I saw an article on TechCrunch discussing Cluely (created by Chungin Roy Lee and Neel Shanmugam).

TL;DR: The AI tool, originally developed to cheat on software engineering interviews, now helps users cheat on exams, sales calls, and job interviews through a hidden in-browser window. And now has raised $5+ million.

Edit: thank you everyone who took the time to comment! Hello! I have a health and wellness app that helps people track their compliance on therapeutic diets with the help of AI. I ve gotten very strong encouragement from friends in the tech industry but am finding acquiring customers difficult. I don t spam my app in communities on Facebook or Reddit, but I ll briefly mention it here and there when someone else posts or comments about using apps to help with therapeutic diets. My user growth is about 2-3 per week. If I try to ask communities to talk w people for user research, I m finding most communities will delete the post, even if I am not selling the app but want to talk with others about their pain points. I m curious, what customer acquisition strategies and techniques have worked for you?

A month ago, a friend of mine approached me about creating a calorie-tracking app.

Considering that people (especially Generation Z) are more health-conscious, I really like this idea.

New from @andrewmason: agentive video editing coming to Descript.

A smart, versatile, tireless AI co-editor with all the tools it needs to make any video you want because it s built right into Descript.

A few weeks ago, I started to feel like I had hit a plateau on social media, especially with my Substack newsletter. I couldn t seem to get past a certain number of subscribers (stagnation).

In similar situations, I ve noticed that people often either:
run a giveaway
pay for ads

I'm doing a little research on the traffic on this platform. Many people ask when it's a good idea to launch a product on Product Hunt.

I'd like to know your perspective on how you spend your time here during specific seasons (weekends, holidays, summer).
