Hey PH

We're launching Rover on Feb 25th, but the preview is live right now and we want your honest takes before we go big.

What it is: One script tag on your website your users get an AI agent that takes real actions inside your UI. Clicks buttons, fills forms, runs checkout, guides onboarding. Through conversation.

Last week we hit our highest number of new paying users in the last 24 weeks.

Week-over-Week growth: +5.56%

CAC: $0

As a measure of the impact of vibe coding and the need to focus on positioning, narrative, and marketing and distribution, I noticed that that 610 products were submitted to the Product Hunt leaderboard today, but only 16 were featured which is less than 3%.

The previous high was just over 500 products in December.

1. A 3-year search for a simple tool to track both personal and business finances in one place. Nothing fits.

2. Website owners constantly need minor edits in the admin panel. They are forced to pay specialists for 5-minute tasks. We need an AI agent that does this on command in the browser.

3. An indie hacker spends 20-30 hours manually cold launching each new product in directories, Reddit, and blogs. There is no tool that fully automates this and proves its effectiveness.

4. A freelancer often loses in proposal competitions due to the inability to quickly create personalized and visual website concepts for each job order.

5. A Telegram channel owner is losing their audience without understanding the reasons for unsubscriptions. There is no simple tool for automatically collecting feedback from departed subscribers.

I came to exactly the same conclusion that real startup ideas often come from simple and boring problems. From my own experience: I spent three years on a startup that was supposed to revolutionize online education, but in the end it had 0 users. Now I ve just started solving a simple problem for home appliance repair technicians and immediately got my first paying users on a very rough MVP.

We listened to our community and made some major changes to put privacy first.

A new privacy-first API We redesigned our API now the official version to handle token compression with privacy at its core. We only require your AgentReady key. Your LLM API key stays yours we never see it:

AI makes it easy to ship more.

It does not make it easy to ship responsibly.

Yesterday, I came across a job posting from a specific SF company that offered Yesterday I came across a job posting from a specific SF company that offered a salary of 250k 1M (including equity), but realistically, I don't think they have that money; they're just grinding to satisfy investors and succumb to too much hustle culture.

Requirement: be available on-site from 9 AM to 9 PM 6 days a week in the office (and I bet even Sunday would be dedicated to meeting some team members in "free time"). In addition, they were willing to hire those who would relocate to SF.

Meow world, welcome back to The Breakpoint, a weekly thread on all things dev tools on Product Hunt.

Hey there creative ad people. We're working non-stop to make marketfunkers the best as it can be, and feedback is very valuable.
So if you're into performance marketing/paid social/copywriting - give the platform a test and let me know what you think.

It took longer than it should have, mostly because it kept getting deprioritized in quarterly planning. And the annoying part is: the longer you wait on dark mode, the bigger it gets. More components to adjust, more edge cases, more workflows to test.

So we stopped debating it. No justification, no comparisons. We just shipped it.

Single clips are easy now. Kling, Runway, Minimax can turn one prompt into a great shot in minutes.

But when you try to build something longer, a 30 90 second story, a multi-scene ad, a short narrative, the same problem shows up almost every time.

Recently, I asked how much you trust AI agents.

When it comes to finances, you said you don t.
With health data, you don t either.

But now I have a different question.

hey ph community, spent a good amount of time putting this one together and i think it's worth a read if you're into learning, productivity, or just curious about how memory actually works.

most people try to learn vocabulary, feel like nothing is sticking after a week, and quit. what they don't realize is that the real changes in your brain happen much later. and if you quit before week 3, you're leaving before the interesting part even starts.

Citable's Blog Generation feature creates complete, publish-ready long-form blog posts structured to get cited by AI models. You enter a prompt. We generate a full draft with the authority signals, direct answers, and citation architecture AI engines look for.

What makes it different:

Over the past few years, we ve seen an explosion of AI powered apps, redesigns, and next-generation experiences.

And yet weather apps somehow still feel exactly the same:

Different colors.
Slightly different layouts.
The same numbers inside slightly different rectangles.

Today, I read in the news that OpenAI is considering "expanding its data footprint" and possibly buying Pinterest, as there is a lot of data on it just for the sake of users finding inspiration (which can be key for purchase decision making and understanding personas Pinterest has 600M+ users).

I also take into account how Pinterest started to resent the proliferation of AI content there users do not like it so much (as far as I know, OpenAI also wants to have its own social network, and Sora curation is a bit reminiscent of that)

We've surpassed the singularity.

Many people have told me that being part of Gen Z comes with advantages we have time, energy, and plenty of opportunities to shape our careers in the AI era. And I do feel lucky to have grown up with technology, to have had early exposure and opportunities to learn and explore it.

But the AI era feels different. The shift is not only new, it s happening at lightning speed. Before I ve even fully adapted to working with AI, we re already seeing waves of layoffs where human roles are being replaced or reshaped by AI systems. And honestly, that creates uncertainty and anxiety not just for me, but for many people around us.

What was the reason for any YC rejection you faced in the past? And what would you suggest future founders do differently with their profile/ idea/ application to minimize downside?

It s almost here for me. In three days, I ll be relaunching a major update for the app I have been collaborating with, and I ve set clear boundaries for myself about what I will and won t do before the launch. I guess these are some general, unwritten rules I try to follow

Definitely DON T:

• Accept offers from charlatans promising votes or engagement for money

• Send unsolicited messages begging for votes or support

• Spam other people s posts with launch announcements

The greatest invention of our time the smartphone has also become one of the biggest consumers of our energy and attention.

Being focused is now an art.

Many people were looking for an answer in one category, namely, Forums Streaks.

This metric by itself only tells you that people log in to the app.

Hey everyone!

We re continuing to improve UX HeatGrid to make design, readability, and content density analysis more seamless. v1.1.0 is coming very soon!

There are products I keep using when launching on Product Hunt -- products that help me craft beautiful assets, plan content distribution, and analyze results.

Here's my personal collection. How about you? What's your stack?
