We invented (product) time traveling 🔮

Time travel is mathematically possible (according to the 5th Google search result on the topic). You can now also go back in time to explore the most popular products of the day on Product Hunt! 😺

Here's what we've learned using the technology so far:

On 11/24/2013 a "Ryan Hoover" hunted the first ever product. 👶

Overcast launched 3 years ago this week. 2 years ago Pocket Listen finished #1 (before it was acquired by Mozilla). Exactly a year ago we saw the most upvoted comment of all-time (before Jian Yang smashed the record pitching not hotdog). 🌭

Also...

You can now go back and see the top products for any year/month! Here are the most upvoted products for 2015, 2016, and 2017 (so far). 🏆

Travel Back In Time 🔮

We asked 34 customers what Viktor does for them. Not one said chatbot.

They kept using words like colleague, coworker, team member. One CEO called it the glue holding their e-commerce business together, which is a lot, but also… you see why. It lives in Slack and plugs into 3,000+ tools, so instead of jumping between tabs, you just ask for the thing. Pull Stripe against HubSpot, check Sentry alerts, spin up a campaign brief, build a landing page, send a report upstairs. It all happens there.

It has already hit top 5 on Product Hunt with 130 comments, is SOC 2 certified, and your data does not train models.

One user said it was the first time AI felt like a real coworker, which is either exciting or slightly concerning depending on your week.
