We launched PromptQL on X/Twitter 2 weeks back and went viral as the first AI version of slack; and we just went live on Product Hunt! Yesterday Jack Dorsey announced his version, Buzz. And as someone following the space - I see a lot of people having strong opinions about this.
So what's yours? Is slack working for you as you do more and more of your work with AI? Where does it break? Do we even need a new era of collaboration tools?

Hey dear Community !

While building RunEvr, we created different modules for creative teams - Materials, Tasks, Boards, Forums, Reviews, and more.

One part we re especially curious about is team communication

Our Forum module is designed around project-based conversations, and naturally users often compare it with Slack.

Your AI is already smart enough. Give it somewhere to work.

Asking AI a question was never the hard part. The hard part is what happens after the answer. However good the draft is, the one pasting the table into the doc, saving the file where it belongs, and sending the email to the client that's still you. Your work is scattered across a dozen tools: some of it in your inbox, some in Notion, some in a folder on your laptop. Your AI lives in exactly one place, a chat box. Wherever it can't reach is wherever it can't help.

So the problem was never intelligence. It's that your AI has nowhere to work. That's the gap Happycapy Connectors close: a connector is a grant that lets Happycapy work inside a tool you already use the big apps, your inbox, even your own computer. You don't switch tools, migrate data, or learn anything new. Capy comes to your work, not the other way around. We've been saying AI should adapt to you since day one; this is what that looks like as a product.

Last week, six AI products launched on Product Hunt that share one move. None of them ask users to open a new app. They embed into surfaces people already touch.

Hardware: Dune Keypad (46 upvotes) sits next to your keyboard with Claude integration. Video calls: Mina Meeting Assistant (47 upvotes). Text threads: folk (51 upvotes). Chat windows: Databox MCP (39 upvotes) plugs business data into Claude via Model Context Protocol. Mac autocomplete: Typeahead (22 upvotes).

The pattern is clear: shipping AI as a new app is the slow path. The fast path is grafting onto a surface the user already touches. The cost of building a standalone AI app dropped 90%+. The cost of getting it noticed did not. Surface integration sidesteps the noticing problem because the surface already has users.

A lot of teams already manage work inside Gmail and Google Workspace. Customer conversations happen in email threads, follow-ups come out of meetings, and project coordination lives across tasks and boards throughout the day.

Keeping CRM records and project workflows aligned with all of that activity still takes a surprising amount of manual updating afterward.

Most of us spend half our day typing the same messages again and again follow-ups, status updates, or quick replies.

Typing faster doesn t solve that. Writing smarter does.

That s where Slashit App comes in.

It lets teams:

Hey everyone,

I m curious to know: What are some of the apps, tools, or services you ve discovered that have truly transformed the way you work or build your startup/product, or basically helped you in day-to-day work productivity? It could be anything from project management, productivity hacks, automation, communication, or even wellness tools that help you stay focused.

Today, the productivity domain in tech is very well developed - there are tools for almost any need!

But at the same time, there s always a feeling that there might be something else, something better. All the time.

What I like about this space is that once people start using tools like Miro, Notion, Trello, ClickUp, etc., they tend to keep testing new things and experimenting with different tools.

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

Remember when products designed for consumers unexpectedly revolutionized how businesses operate? For example, Discord started as a chat app for gamers but is now essential for remote teams.

Its journey from gaming-focused platform to business tool is fascinating:

• Originally built for gamers needing low-latency communication

• Features like server organization, voice channels, and role permissions were perfect for gaming

• Discord thrived during the pandemic as businesses discovered its community-building strengths worked brilliantly for remote collaboration

• Now powers everything from customer communities to virtual events

Hey, I m building a tool where you just chat to automate tasks no setup, no coding. It connects with your apps and gets stuff done.

Quick question:

• What tools do you use for repetitive tasks right now? (Zapier, Notion, n8n, Make.com, etc.)

• What are the most common apps or SaaS tools you use every day?

• What s the most annoying part of your workflow?

• Would you be interested in trying an early version and helping shape a tool that could save you hours each week?

Appreciate any thoughts!

Yesterday @fmerian recommended Googly Eyes from @Sindre Sorhus, which I immediately downloaded! After enjoying the eyes following my cursor around for the day, that got me thinking - what other fun, goofy apps do you all have for your Mac, Chrome, or other devices that don't necessarily serve a purpose other than to bring joy and break the monotony? @Scroll Buddy is another one that comes to mind that I have saved in a collection.

We see productivity apps, AI-based software, open-source products, etc. all the time, but what about your saved products someone made after their 9-5 or on a weekend just to have fun and test their skills?
