... wasn t happening. Then it became inevitable. VC interest went from red hot to chilled. Someone told me that if you re building a Google feature, it won t be long before Google builds it. They did. So did Superhuman, Read AI and plenty of others. If I did it again, I d find something harder to replicate by going deeper, perhaps rethinking the calendar altogether rather than building an agent on top of it. 2. Pay yourself properly. There ... ... market: I speak Portuguese, Mariana is Portuguese and my wife is Brazilian. We ran a test in Portuguese. We recruited 100s of Brazilian users in three weeks, mainly thanks to Ting on WhatsApp. IYKYK . December Based on competitors

... just remembers everything and you're done in one tap, no forms, no re-entering info, simple thing but it stood out because it made every other checkout feel unnecessarily slow after that. Comment from Ivy Bisht(@ivy_bisht): Superhuman's onboarding call. They used to get on a call with literally every single new user before letting them in. When it launched, people thought that was insane. How do you scale a product by doing sales calls ... ... with people and walked them through it themselves. Those first thousand users didn't just use the product; they became the ones telling everyone else about it. Everyone's obsessed with building funnels that remove humans from the process. Superhuman

... progress drafts inline in the thread. A mailbox filter on All Emails and Search narrows to one account and sticks between restarts. New mail appears the moment it syncs, even before it's sorted. Quoted history collapses reliably across Superhuman, Apple Mail, and New Outlook, and revealing it keeps your place. Smarter at spotting bulk and marketing mail, and it retries a failed message once. Gmail hiccups and rate limits retry automatically. Long emails display in full. Fixed No more ...

... hated. Here is exactly why. The Spam Never Stops The moment you put "developer" in your headline, the messages start. About 35% of LinkedIn connection requests are followed by aggressive sales messages, according to research from email management company Superhuman. That means one in three people trying to "connect" with you are actually trying to sell you something. Recruitment spam is worse. You will receive messages for roles you are wildly unqualified for, roles that require seven years of experience ... ... what the actual job entails. Developers have noticed. Only 12% of developers use LinkedIn as their main source of technical information, according to a Stack Overflow survey. Most are on the platform purely because they feel they have no alternative

... from one approach to the other? And what do you think matters more: timing or differentiation? Comment from Dora Yang(@new_user___1702026e6f946759d1d798a): I d prefer finding a niche pain point to solve in an established market. Existing competitors prove that customers understand the problem and are willing to spend money, while the founder still needs a clear reason that a particular customer segment will switch. Comment from innocent fonkoa(@innocent_fonkoa): Chose established niche with Ritually habit tracking ... ... demand saved me from having to convince anyone the problem exists. But entering established means your differentiation must be razor sharp. Ours is: other apps track habits, Ritually builds them with AI. One sentence that separates us from every competitor

... There are so, so, many email apps out there: Superhuman, Hey, Slashy, Cowork gmail plugin, Spark Mail, Proton mail, Spacemail, Titan, Shortwave, Alfred, Canary, Spike, Tuta, Skiff, Icloud, Zoho, Yahoo (if it counts even). But has any one of us tried it before? Why/Why not? Comment from Roberto(@brajn): I just fine with Gmail Comment from Dev Grover(@grover___dev): have never used coz tbh never felt the need of one Comment from Scarlett Massey(@scarlett_massey): i like experimenting ... ... switching cost?

I respect that Comment from Sarvesh Chidambaram(@sarveshsea): I try alternatives

... ever go back and read old entries? Comment from Evgeny Alexeev(@alexe_ev): Here is my 5: Claude - solo building my little product with it! Linear - best jira alternative even for solo Zed - fast and light, if terminal is not enough for you but you won't stick to VS

... agree with this message? I certainly do! Because so many founders spend hours everyday in email, and end up doing 0 building. I was stuck in the same loop too and none of the tools I tried, helped: Gmail, superhuman, etc because they were all leaving all the work to me, no matter the importance level. So I built Dirac and am beyond excited to announce its launch Comment from Rian Robertson(@rianbrob): Totally agree...founders need to focus ...

... amount of courage to solve the threading problems prevalent in every email client today? Bravo! Comment from Neeraj Nathany(@neerajnathany): What email client do you guys currently use? The native Gmail or Outlook itself, or something else? Hopefully not Superhuman ...

... observation: most people today receive far more email than their inbox was designed to handle. Important messages get buried, conversations get delayed, and productivity tools either feel too manual or too expensive. Some tools solve parts of this well (Superhuman is a good example), but they re not always accessible for everyone and still rely heavily on manual sorting. So I started experimenting with a different approach: What if an inbox could automatically understand what matters? Replyless uses ...

... Hosted on Netlify. Fully functional. Why It s Interesting AI productivity tools are still early. Privacy-first communication tools are underbuilt. Unified inbox systems are technically complex to execute. The heavy lifting is done. This could evolve into: A Superhumancompetitor An AI executive assistant A founder productivity OS A privacy-first communication layer Status Pre-revenue No active users Working prototype Full codebase available No inflated claims. Just execution. https://dawnn-unified-communicat... If you re a serious builder exploring ...

... saved. ## The stack: AI Engine: NVIDIA NIM + OpenRouter (auto-fallback if one fails) Reply Gen: Learns my tone from sent emails Gmail API: Native OAuth, secure, no data leaks Deployment: Runs locally on my machine ## Why local matters: Unlike Superhuman, SaneBox, or other AI email tools my emails never hit a third-party server. Everything processes on my machine. True privacy. ## Pricing: This Email Agent is 1 of 13 agents in NeuraClaw. All 13: $79 one-time. No subscriptions ... ... data leaks. No cloud dependency. Or keep paying $20/month for Superhuman

... cranking out apps for the past few years and loving it.  Then one morning a week or 2 ago I got a little ambitious and decided to build a desktop email client because outlook was so-so and superhuman was ridiculously expensive.   Is this a big mistake?   Am I wasting my time ? So far I have Microsoft and Google working and I can do the normal email interaction read, reply, archive etc.   I also got local ...

... their brand. The interior design industry needed this. Architects needed this. Real estate developers needed this. Anyone who converts blueprints to photorealistic 3D interiors needed this. We re not here to replace designers. We re here to make them superhuman. To let them respond faster. To let them show, not tell. To let them focus on the creative decisions instead of the technical bottlenecks. Foursite is built for professionals who refuse to be slowed down by outdated workflows. Designers ...

... some AI products may behave like Veblen goods where the price itself is part of the appeal. Second, fragmentation increases. Rather than one AI for everyone, we ll see many AIs tuned for specific tribes, workflows, and values. Like Superhuman in email, these products won t win by being objectively better, but by being deeply felt by a particular group. Third, privacy becomes a class system . Society has already accepted pay to remove ads elsewhere. It s likely AI follows ...

... Gmail (30 seconds) AI analyzes every email without storing it anywhere Gets one digest with AI summaries Emails categorized: Important / Transactional / Promotional See what matters in 60 seconds Why I built it: Most email tools help you write faster (Superhuman, etc.). I wanted to help people READ smarter. Plus, it's completely free forever - no paid tier. What makes it different: Actually free (not freemium) Privacy-first (zero email storage, CASA certified) AI summaries that make sense Works perfectly standalone ...

... with client X this week?" "reply with best practice answers" Ask AI used to search 1 year of email. Starting over the next few weeks, Ask AI will search 5 years. And finally, you can now ask about using Superhuman. Try: "how do I make a split inbox" or "how do I find auto archived emails". Comment from Rajiv Ayyangar(@rajiv_ayyangar): Interesting - are you using auto response drafts? I feel like for some reason those haven t been useful ...

... founders I m Bogdan , one of the folks behind xTiles (you might ve seen us on Product Hunt). While xTiles keeps helping people plan their best lives, we ve started working on something new: We re building a superhuman AI project manager - a tool that turns messy ideas, chats, or AI replies into structured projects with full context, tasks, and resources. So, if you re a founder who feels like you're stuck doing too much routine instead of creative ...

... Could be an app, a gadget, even a simple workflow that changed the game for you. Bonus points if it s something you found here on Product Hunt ? Comment from Priyanka Gosai(@priyanka_gosai1): Honestly? For me, it's Superhuman s split inbox + keyboard flow. I used to drown in email chaos newsletters, team updates, product alerts all hitting the same inbox. Superhuman

... Congrats to @rahulvohra and the team! https://www.reuters.com/business... Comment from Rajiv Ayyangar(@rajiv_ayyangar): Love Superhuman! It set a high bar for interface design and positioning/branding. Also, Rahul's piece on how to iterate towards PMF should be required reading for every founder/pm: https://review.firstround.com/ho...

... significant problem that almost everyone I talked to was experiencing. There are thousands of great platforms out there. However, when mapping out the customer value chain, I noticed something. Consider this example: a typical professional might rely on Superhuman for email, Slack for team communication, Notion for tasks, Dropbox for files and storage, LinkedIn Sales Navigator for prospecting, Zoom for meetings, Calendly for scheduling, Apollo or Salesloft or Outreach for outreach, HubSpot or Salesforce for CRM, and Crunchbase for data ...
