Just add AI
gm legends. It’s Sunday.
New week, new products. This week: the best AI workflow automation tools, how to pitch a product quickly, why hunger is the father of invention, and Evernote’s first launch in 5 years. Plus, stick around for 5 of our favorite launches.
Important stuff is below. Stop skimming and start reading.
P.S. Launching soon? We’d love to hear about it → editorial@producthunt.co 🫶
Last call
In case you missed it, it’s nominations season for Product Hunt’s Orbit Awards in AI Workflow Automation. We’ve narrowed our list to nine tools that do your dirty work:
Winners are partially based on user feedback. So if you want to see your favorite get favored, share your use cases below or leave a review on the product links above. Who knows? Maybe you can even automate that process.
Your agents stopped answering and started doing
Your agents call tools, write to databases and move money, so a wrong answer is now a wrong action, which is a considerably worse meeting. Arcjet runs policy before every LLM call, tool call, query and API request: prompt injection, sensitive data, bots, rate limits, spend quotas, and your own rules in Rego on top. It reads the OpenTelemetry you already emit, so switching it on is one environment variable, no code changes and nothing to deploy. Each check also reads the earlier steps in the same workflow, so an agent's tenth action gets judged against the first nine and not on its own. JavaScript, Python and Go SDKs all at 1.0, agent framework guards included, free tier to start on.
Perfect pitch
Here’s a timeless post that’s trending a year later. Tasos V asks: Can you pitch your product in 5 words or less?
Ours was “We surface great products.”
Here are some of our favorites:
- Digma: “Preempt issues your tests miss.”
- Brisqi: “Offline-first personal Kanban app.”
- Totally Chefs: “Social network for food lovers.”
- Proof Pocket: “Safe offline document vault.”
We all know brevity is best. Now, you go. Quickly, if you please.
What's for dinner?
Vikas Shah is a dad and builder who’s just trying to feed his family. No, like literally. He needs to get three square meals into bellies each day or everybody gets hangry.
The problem, he writes, is that “every household has someone carrying the invisible mental load of meals. It's not the cooking that's exhausting — it's the deciding. 21 meals a week. Remembering who eats what. Knowing what's in the fridge. Figuring out quick meals for busy nights. My wife carried all of this. When I'd ask, ‘How can I help?’ she still had to manage me. That's not really helping.”
So Vikas built a tool. And he wants to know: Could this help with families like yours?
Evernote gets first update since 2020
AI integrations these days are table stakes. This is no less true for old-school applications like Evernote, the notetaking app that promises to capture and organize everything from to-do lists to articles to read.
Oh, you forgot about Evernote?! That may be because, before releasing v11 this week, it hadn’t released an update since 2020. Two years later, it was bought by Bending Spoons, which cut down on what came with the free plan — and cut most of the team.
But now it’s back with a v11 that’s heavy on the AI, in three specific ways:
- an AI assistant that makes it possible for “users to interact with their notes, tasks, and calendar through a dedicated chat interface”
- “Semantic Search,” so you can find notes without having to know the exact keywords in them
- AI meeting notes for transcription and summarization
Evernote is clearly starting a new chapter. But is the Product Hunt community taking note?
