No code? No problem
No-code: The tools that allow anyone go from 0-1.
No-code has always been about turning ideas into something real without touching a single line of code. But now, AI is completely changing the game. Butternut AI, for example, takes things to a new levelājust type in your business name and a few keywords, and boom, youāve got a fully-fledged, multi-page website thatās customizable, responsive, and even SEO-ready. The gap between āI have an ideaā and āCheck out my websiteā is smaller than ever, and honestly? Thatās pretty incredible.
Time to lock in
Productivity: All about the apps that get you locked inĀ
Productivity isnāt just about checking boxes anymore. Tools like Raycast Notes and Amie are blending work and life in ways that feel naturalāwhether itās jotting down ideas in the moment or effortlessly syncing your schedule. Theyāre earning our trust by actually delivering value. I used to hesitate before clicking āSign in with Google,ā but now? If an app helps me manage the chaos of work and life better, itās worth it. The future of productivity isnāt just about getting more doneāitās about making life feel a little easier.
You've got AI frIend in me
AI Hardware: The products bringing AI into the physical realm.Ā
In the past hardware didn't necessarily mean the tech was portable, but it seems we've long left what tethers us to a location and have evolved to making hardware as mobile as possible. The inclusion of AI is no exception, fromĀ necklacesĀ toĀ Gameboy-throwbacks, toĀ framesĀ it seems that the builders of AI want us to wear our future companions, or at least have them adjacent to our smartphones rather than solely within them. While I do love the exploration of hardware, the current iteration has made me wonder how many takes of an OS1 (ifykyk) can we get. Maybe in 2025 we'll see some diversification in the space?
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 alsoā¦ 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.
