Was expecting to see a ton of dating app launches on the occasion of Valentine's day :)

Who's building the next Tinder powered by AI? The next Bumble? Share your links in the comments below for visibility

Earlier this week, Nika asked: Is dating through apps still a thing? And she wondered about the effect AI would have on our relationships.

Well:

Recent events made me think about how technology is shaping our relationships.

We re online more, we even use AI as a relationship advisor, and at the same time, it feels like it s harder for younger people to approach someone in real life.

Hey Product Hunters!

I'm working on an app that uses AI to give you ideas for plans, gifts, and messages all 100% personalized to your partner (their city, tastes, personality, etc).

Most couple apps out there feel too generic and don t really help when you want to do something truly special.

My app aims to suggest creative, customized ideas, plus remember important dates and small details for you.

I was recently talking with a group of founders, and we went around sharing tools we're using now. Posting my notes for our community here - would love to know what else people are using!

Voice AI toolkit:

- Vapi

Hi all! I m working on an idea that came out of my own frustration:

There are SO many AI tools right now for writing, meetings, code, design, finance but it s getting overwhelming.

Even though I m deep in the AI world, I still find myself Googling things like: Best AI tools for solo founders ; Free AI video editing apps ; Is this tool even legit?

So here s the vision:

I'm a UX designer by trade, and as a designer I always had some fun ideas to build but never the tools to do so other then some concept design. But recently I had this Idea again from a while back and just build it.

It ook me over 2 months and had to learn a lot of code and documentation myself to tell the damn AI's what to do.

It's a weird feeling of feeling powerful and helpless at the same time haha.

@rrhoover 's comment on @kwindla 's "Happy Birthday, Photoshop" thread got me thinking:
"I wish Product Hunt was around longer so we had more nerdy, tech archeology to explore."
The products that made an impression on us, even if they didn't make it, often inspire the next generation of apps. Also, there's something interesting about a product that you resonated with and you thought should have been huge but didn't quite make it. It's an opportunity for reflection on maybe what was missing or how your values may differ from the world or how that product may have been a glimpse of the future and ahead of its time. I subscribe to the idea that most startup ideas will happen eventually, but timing matters. You need to see into the future, but if you see too far into the future, it may take a while for that to become reality.
For me, there are lots of contenders in the consumer social space. I really loved @Clubhouse, especially in the early days of the pandemic. I thought @Airchat had a fascinating interface (twitter...but audio?). I also thought the authenticity and light attention requirements of @BeReal. was compelling. But maybe my favorite more niche product is @Honk by Benji Taylor.
Honk was real-time messaging, one-on-one, without a log. You could see people typing in realtime. You could spam emojis, and your swarm of emojis would battle comically with your friend's swarm. It was silly, and beautifully designed, and a valiant effort at breaking through our cultural tendency to regress to boring async chat.
There's also something really cool about seeing somebody type in real time. It's like seeing them think! One magic moment is when you start typing and before you can finish the idea, the other person's understood the idea and is responding. It's a funny feeling.
Plus their Twitter account was genius. It would often just tweet "Honk"
What's your favorite social app that doesn't exist anymore? What did you take away from it?
@rrhoover I'm guessing you have too many to count. @bernatfortet @kwindla @gabe

Last week, I downloaded and purchased @AgBr after seeing it on the homepage. Its design and super specific goal just immediately clicked with me. I love black & white photography, and this was a really interesting and approachable way to experiment with it; even though I've never been much of a photographer myself. I'm usually just appreciating others' photos.

But then, over this past weekend, I noticed that I kept feeling compelled to take pictures throughout my day so that I could play around with different filters and try out different levels of film grain on them. Having the tools to create was suddenly making me look for more and more opportunities to use them.

Hey, PH! I m Kirill, a UX & product designer obsessed with making tech feel more human.

Lately, I ve been thinking about how bad design makes good ideas fail whether it s:

Mental health apps that feel like data-entry chores.

Productivity tools that make people feel less productive.

Hi, I m Lukas. I ve only been using Product Hunt for the past 30 days, but it s quickly become one of the few platforms I check daily. It s been incredibly inspiring to see what people are building, and I ve already discovered a few tools here that I now use regularly.

In the past, I ve co-founded a few mobile apps that reached over 500K downloads and were featured on the App Store, and I m now building on that experience with a web application I m currently working on

I m looking forward to learning from others here and sharing whatever I can along the way.

I always feel like I m aging myself when I suggest using @PayPal to send money. ( Don t you have Venmo? my little brother asked me years ago. I quickly made an account but honestly, I only use it with him.)

It s wild how fast things have changed. First, @Venmo and @Zelle took over, and now there s @Wise , @revolut , and probably dozens of other ways now to send people money instantly.

Most networking platforms feel like noise.

You join a few Slack groups, post in some forums, fire off a few DMs and maybe, if you re lucky, you meet someone cool.
