A French user asked Google AI Mode: "une plateforme SaaS tout-en-un sp cialis e dans l'intelligence de visibilit IA et le SEO"

Google's AI generated a ranked list of the top 4 platforms in 2026.

Rankfender came in at #1.

launch yesterday (july 12th) we told you all about @FetchSandbox.

today i'd rather hear about you.

One of the more interesting things we have learned while building Causo is that people ask for automation, but what they really want is productivity. Those sound like the same thing but actually aren't.

Ask someone what they want from an AI sales tool and the answer is usually:

Just find the leads, write the emails and run the outreach for me.

But the moment the tool actually tries to do that, the questions start: where did this company come from; why does it match my ICP, is this person still working there; where did you find this information; can I change the email; has anything been sent yet?

What would make you trust an Android keyboard that claims to encrypt your typing before it reaches the chat app? I m testing a different UX: encryption at the keyboard layer, before plaintext reaches the chat app.

The difficult problem is not adding an Encrypt button. It is trust. A keyboard can see sensitive input, so enabling a third-party keyboard should require unusually strong evidence.

If you were evaluating this idea, which signal would matter first?

A. A two-device demo: type encrypt send open offline

We are a venture firm, not a software company. But when we need a tool now, the first question is not what to buy, it is whether we can just build it ourselves. A few subscriptions we used to renew without thinking are gone.

Curious what others are seeing. Have you cancelled anything because you built the replacement, and did it hold up?

I checked Google Search Console for my site. I wanted to know which of my twelve guide pages were bringing people in. None of them were.

The site got 87 clicks in 90 days. My brand name by itself was 56% of them. Most of the rest were people spelling my brand name wrong. Searches that had nothing to do with my name showed up three times in total.

So no new people are finding the site. Everyone who arrives already knew the name before they searched. I had been looking at those clicks and calling it growth. It was not.

I decided the fix was longer and more useful guides. Each one was about 450 words. They are now about 1,000. This time I checked real keyword data first, instead of guessing what people search for.

I remember the era when people on X started gossiping that this platform is dead. (IMO, they were just angry that some rules had changed and they weren't featured.)

I can speak for myself that, being here for more than 3 years, I have had many opportunities:

• got free access to many tools or were sent physical products

• had calls and touch with the members of the community and also the internal team, including the CEO

• was encouraged to create a hackathon (last year)

• recongition

• there were also many missed opportunities from my side to hunt products

• featuring in newsletter with 140k+ recipients strengthening my personal brand position

After just one month since releasing the beta of Explainers on Scrimba, we've crossed 10,000 explainer videos generated. Let s see in the coming weeks if we can add a zero to that number

three bugs an ai wrote for me this week. every test green. all three would've paged me in prod:

1. webhook retried charged the customer twice

2. subscription.activated arrived before subscription.created they paid, app said not entitled

3. a stale event flipped a canceled sub back to active free access, forever

none of these show up in a 200. you find them from a customer or you fire the ugly event orders on purpose and find them first.

we now throw every ordering + every duplicate at your handler and hand back the exact sequence that broke it.

A few months ago, I realized I was measuring the wrong thing.

Every day I'd look at questions like:

We're genuinely excited about this one.
You already start your day inside an AI - Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor. That's where the thinking happens. But the work lives somewhere else, and you spend all day copying between the two.
So we're killing that gap: RunEvr is getting an MCP server. (MCP = the open standard - now backed by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google & the Linux Foundation - that lets your AI securely plug into real apps. RunEvr is becoming one.)
Connect the AI you already use, and just talk:
"Create a task for Sara to review the trailer, due Friday."
"Did anyone reply to my thread about the poster?"
"What's waiting on me right now?"
Your AI does it, and it shows up live in RunEvr for the whole team.
Works with Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT.
The best part: you don't pay us a penny extra. It runs on your own AI account - your existing free or paid Claude/ChatGPT plan. We don't meter it, don't upsell it, don't touch your bill.
And one line we won't cross: your AI can never see more than you can. Same permissions as you - superpowers, not a backstage pass.
Which AI do you live in - and what's the first thing you'd have it do in your workspace?

Over the past year I've noticed something unexpected. Building products with AI keeps getting easier.

Choosing which AI tools to use keeps getting harder.

Every day there are new models, coding assistants, design tools, agents, MCP servers, and productivity apps. I love seeing innovation, but I also wonder whether we're reaching a point where too much choice is slowing us down.

Followings are coming soon!

• panel customization

• mobile element capture

• Device syncing

For a long time, most AI conversations were about answers.

Could a chatbot write a better email? Summarize a document? Explain a concept? Even when the output was wrong, the result was usually a suggestion that a person could accept, reject, or ignore.

Agents change that dynamic a bit.

An AI agent might update a CRM, approve a workflow, modify a database record, send a message to a customer, or trigger actions across multiple systems. At that point, the conversation is no longer just about the quality of the answer. It's also about the consequences of the action.

Think about how you work today. You use Claude for writing. ChatGPT for research. Cursor for code. Maybe Codex for longer tasks.

Each one learns something about you. Your preferences. Your projects. Your decisions. But none of them talk to each other.

So you end up repeating yourself. Re-explaining context. Correcting assumptions that one tool got right weeks ago in a different conversation.

It is like having five assistants who each only remember the conversations they were personally in. They are all smart individually, but collectively they are forgetful.

Spent more time on the "no sign up needed" part of my site than on any actual feature. Not because it was technically hard, it's the absence of something, which should be easy. It's because every shortcut that makes onboarding faster quietly wants an email, a login, a "just to save your results." Fighting that instinct at every step took longer than building the thing people actually came for.

Nobody's going to comment on it. Nobody screenshots "wow, no signup wall." It just quietly removes the one moment where someone almost leaves. That's the part I think gets underweighted when people plan builds, the effort spent on friction you're removing never shows up as a feature anyone can point to, but it's often the difference between someone actually using the thing and someone bouncing in the first ten seconds.

Curious if others have a version of this, something that took real effort specifically because it was invisible by design. What's the thing in your product nobody will ever thank you for, that you know mattered anyway?

First, the part that matters most: Thank You.

When I launched Pulse here, genuinely didn't know it would make it #10 globally on Product Hunt.

You downloaded it, broke it, told me exactly what felt right and what needed work, and sent me bug reports at 2am. Every single one of those shaped the app.

For a while, we were tracking the usual SaaS stuff like signups, pageviews, DAU, WAU, and retention charts. Useful to know, but none of it told us whether people were actually succeeding with Causo. So we started using PostHog properly and built our own dashboards around the things that matter for our product.

Causo now has two sides:

Causo for Fundraising has a database of 1,000+ funds and 17,000+ investors. It helps founders find the right partner at the right firm, understand why that person is relevant, and write outreach specifically for them.

Causo for Sales uses the same technology to research almost any niche live. You describe the companies you want, and it finds them, checks why they fit, identifies the right people, verifies contacts and writes the outreach.

One recurring piece of feedback after launching PH Radar was that makers want more context, not just rankings.

I'm currently experimenting with a BI layer that analyzes Product Hunt activity beyond the daily leaderboard.

Current prototype dashboards include::

Launches by category
Votes by category
Hunter activity
Comment-to-vote ratios
Historical launch trends

Generation tools are low-stakes when they're wrong draft an email, get a bad draft, edit it. Judgment tools are different: grading, flagging, scoring. If the output looks confident and it's actually a guess, someone might act on it without knowing that.

Working on letsflw's exam-checker made this concrete objective questions are easy (exact match, no ambiguity), but for open-ended answers we made a call to surface the AI's mark as a suggestion to review, not a final score, because presenting it as settled felt dishonest.

Here is the paradox of 2026.

Reddit now holds 10.24% of Google's top 3 organic positions. One in every ten top results belongs to Reddit .

The number of keywords where Reddit ranks #1 jumped 54% , from 8,993 in March to 13,872 after the May 2026 core update .

Reddit's top 3 share rose in all 20 niches tracked. The biggest gains came in experience-led categories pets, education, sports, and e-commerce.

I run Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex most of the day, and I keep flip-flopping between two setups that both feel wrong.

Setup 1, babysit: I watch every command and approve everything myself. Nothing slips past me, but I'm stuck at the terminal and the whole point of running an agent is gone. I might as well be typing it myself.

What a day!

Yesterday, Honestly launched on Product Hunt and finished with 480 upvotes and 130 comments, placing us among the top products of the day.

We ultimately finished 2nd and, more importantly, we had the opportunity to share our vision with thousands of founders, marketers, and product builders who believe customer feedback should be honest and accessible.

We are thankful beyond words for the support we received

I ve been thinking about this a lot lately.

For Second Brain, the answer was clear: the setup. Terminal. Git. Cloudflare configuration. People wanted to try it but the friction was too high.
