... something I naturally enjoy. So I did what any engineer would do: I leaned into what I love, and built an agent to handle it. Over the weekend, I put together a marketing agent that researches trending topics in the health

... process, after you have formed your own first version. For me, the healthiest pattern is: think first, use AI to challenge or extend, then decide yourself. Comment from Ashraf Mahmoud(@amm8): As you describe, it comes down to how you use Ai. For general purposes things that I know, I use AI as tool to summarize information. I can check the results because I know the topic

... also good  saving time :) Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @sk_uxpin  I think that everybody should create and use what is currently needed for their purposes :D Comment from Aleksandar Blazhev(@byalexai): Hey Nika! Great topic. I ll jump in here, but I don t want to talk about the obvious stuff everyone already knows and uses. Sure, text and image generation are cool and all... but mostly they just make things faster. Honestly, does your life ... ... perfect example of how people end up doing things that are not actually in their best interest. With AI, you can be much more precise about the direction you re taking. I have hundreds of other health

... gabriel_flores3  Thank you! Bookmarked! Any favorite episode to recommend? Comment from Eva Luksa(@eva_luksa): I really enjoy The Diary of a CEO by Steven Bartlett. It covers a wide range of topics, not only business, but also personal growth, decision-making, mindset, health

... with different people. Also includes: Real-time chat with read receipts, typing indicators, voice messages, file sharing, message reactions, rooms, channels, and Memory Lane (daily "on this day" throwbacks). Built with Flutter + Supabase. Free on Google Play. TOPICS: Messaging, Productivity, Tech, Health

Zero downtime. - Safety guardrails responses scoped strictly to your data. No hallucinations, no going off-topic. - Every language automatic detection and response in whatever language your customer writes in. No configuration needed. What I learned building this: The hardest part wasn't the AI. It was the infrastructure around it normalizing messages from 12+ different channel ... ... across all of it. The second hardest part was getting people to trust an AI agent enough to put it in front of their customers. That's still an ongoing challenge. Where we are: Deployed in telecom, e-commerce, healthcare

... best for me delivering a service, while also protecting your income and time... although the time part is probably the most exhausting (sometimes the tasks are beyond my strength, and I have to make things up, no social & health insurance, chasing people with paying invoices, etc.). But despite that, it's still my choice. What suits you the most, and what advantages/disadvantages have you noticed for your preferred choice? Comment from David Tiong(@mrdavidtiong): @busmark_w_nika  guess ... ... give my students a quality education. Comment from Evan Sterling(@evan_sterling): Being a founder sounds freeing until things go wrong then it can feel heavier than any job. Comment from Amine EL KABIRI(@amine_el_kabiri): Cool topic

... years ago, so I am aware of this :D Comment from Sourav Das(@sourav_das29): In my experience, founder-first can quietly distort everything. When people are sold on the person, early traction and feedback can look healthier than they actually are. It's the halo effect in action - users overlook real product gaps because they trust the founder. You end up optimizing for the wrong signals and realizing it way too late. Comment from Daniil Poletaev(@danshipit): I think ... ... known maker.

... advantage, and build relationships with clients/users on a more personal level. Here are a few examples: A local advertising agency, Visbility, holds Friday Beer at 5 PM meetups where they educate the general public about content marketing and other topics. Lovable holds hackathons for builders. Product Hunt organises pitch days (like that one today) to improve "starting positions" of makers. The things your company does for its community should still be industry-based, but go beyond the product and offer ... ... doing much yet, mostly just showing up in r/healthIT and LinkedIn conversations and trying to be genuinely useful rather than promotional. But what I'd want to build: a monthly "compliance office hours" open Zoom, any healthcare

... away from a life that just doesn't fit. My version of "freedom" is a bit simpler: it s that pure high when a tangled, messy problem finally clicks into a clear solution. Being able to prioritize your own health and peace of mind is the real "rich," regardless of what s in the bank account. Is that fear still what pushes you today, or are you starting to feel more "pulled" by the excitement of what you re actually ... ... good at writing them :). Finally I wanted to take the venture towards independence. I hate the idea of being a cog in the machine. Money and freedom are nice too :) Comment from Ruxandra Mazilu(@ruxandra_mazilu): Loooove this topic

... invited to a weekly meeting despite the holiday. I had forgotten one fact: Orthodox countries celebrate Easter a week later. (and countries in the Far East simply don t have this holiday at all.) This is actually a broader topic, because every country celebrates holidays differently, and with many teams being international, some kind of synchronisation is necessary the question is: how? Do you organise holidays and days off individually based on each employee, or according to where the company ... ... someone else does something about it. I had a colleague a while back who was based in India. I was always wondering why they would miss roughly 32 days of the year, sacrificing pay and calling it a "mental health

... launches a dedicated space makes so much sense the biggest challenge for new products isn't the product itself, it's getting seen on a day crowded with established players. I'm launching NexClip AI on April 14 (first topic-based video editor for macOS), so I'll miss this Thursday's Alpha Day, but I'll be checking in to try and comment on Alpha products. Great initiative. Comment from Priyanshu Singh(@priyanshu_singh23): This is actually a great ... ... strong incentive for builders to ship before they over-polish. I d be interested to see whether Alpha Day ends up rewarding products with clearer problems and stronger conversations, not just prettier launch assets. That would be a healthy

... know when AI is a thinking partner vs. when you need someone accountable for the advice. I think the line will probably be less about topics and more about accountability. AI can be incredibly useful for thinking things through, getting perspectives, or learning the basics... But when decisions carry real consequences for health

... built DuLink to solve a problem that's probably familiar to many of you with immigrant parents. The problem: My primary language is English after being educated abroad. My mom's is Mandarin Chinese. I'd find articles about health breakthroughs, current events, or things I thought she'd find meaningful and send them to her. But they almost never got read. It wasn't that she didn't care. It was the friction. Google Translate meant copying text, pasting ... ... link, beautifully formatted, with optional audio, ready to share via text, WhatsApp, Telegram, WeChat, etc. Your recipient doesn't need to do anything except open it.

... 11pets, etc.). So the answer is: not yet for generic discovery, but the branded signal is there. I think the original data angle you mentioned is our best lever we're sitting on vaccination compliance patterns and breed-specific health data that nobody else is publishing. That's next. Curious if you've seen a typical lag between restructuring and generic query pickup, or if it's more about hitting a citation threshold? Comment from Ben Jackson(@benjackson74): @imed_radhouani ... ... about "pricing accuracy" and "SaaS trust signals." It's been quoted in Perplexity multiple times since. Why it worked: It was a problem every founder experiences but no one had quantified. AI had nothing else to cite on that topic

... fast "being recorded" is becoming the default expectations in work calls. Do you think most people have actually agreed to that, or just stop questioning it? Comment from Olia Nemirovski(@olia_nemirovski): This is such a nuanced topic. I already assume every business call is being recorded (I use AI assistants a lot myself). My assistant always announces it upfront in the chat. Beyond that, we solve most of it with NDAs, and they explicitly cover call recordings. If something ... ... Chaubey(@rohanrecommends): @farhad_asbaghipour  perhaps yes, unless some norm is set internationally. Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): I would be for recording, but only if both parties agree. A few times, I worked even when I had health

... allinonetools_net): From what I ve seen, founders often delay family not because they don t want it, but because building something early on can consume almost all your time and energy. Comment from Aleksandar Blazhev(@byalexai): Very interesting topic, Nika! I d say it really depends. For example, I ve been with my wife for 10 years now. We got together back when I was in university. If I hadn t met her then, I m not sure ... ... fitnessrefined  that's possible too :D Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @astrovinh  Does your tool somehow help to connect these "lonely" people? :) Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @astrovinh  IMO, I haven't found a healthy

... relationship. We offered packs of psychology-based questions, quizzes, and mini-games. They helped partners talk about hard topics like trust, jealousy, and intimacy. Today, Lovon has a new focus. We are building AI therapy: a voice-only AI psychologist . It helps you speak out loud, release emotions, and feel better. It can support you with many mental health

... glad to see the disclaimer on the bottom of your site, have you thought about what other guardrails should be implemented for Leo, so that it is staying helpful and referring users to a professional as needed? On the topic of building, it sounds to me like the choices have been made based on what Lovable best supports, is that accurate? What is the reasoning behind using Lovable over other similar options on the market? When implementing auth and permissions ... ... writing data. Role separation: Platform Admin / Org Owner / Org Admin / User. Happy to compare notes or talk further if it's helpful.

... Paul Graham essay that dropped the same week that was directly relevant to what we're building. That kind of signal is hard to get anywhere else. Would I have preferred top 3? Of course. But #6 with a healthy comment thread (specially without a PH network or team to help) and real signups beats a silent #2 any day. The launch is a starting point, not the whole story.

I mean, if you're not a business, you probably don't need to worry about this topic. Comment from Chris Messina(@chrismessina): @andrew_g_stewart  actually, there was a useful discussion on this episode : The hard paywalls convert ~5x better than freemium stat (10.7% vs 2.1% download paid by day 35) is very ... ... experimenting to find the right balance.

... with large companies, you never have a 100% guarantee that your data is completely safe. Comment from Han(@hanatwork): I share enough context with AI to get useful advice, like work dilemmas or ideas, but keep sensitive stuff (finances, health, personal IDs) to myself. AI can feel trustworthy, but at the end of the day, it s still a system, not a human. Balance usefulness with privacy and you re good. Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @rtinfow  This ... ... Another great question! Comment from John Baek(@fitnessrefined): I think some helpful guidelines on sharing information outlining the pros and cons, including risks would help many users.
