I often see the media sharing articles about layoffs due to AI, how junior programmer positions are less in demand, how there is also a decreased interest in copywriters and graphic designers, etc.
About 2 weeks ago, Teammates launched a tool (AI HR-ist), and right now I came across a post from a local marketer who shared interesting data about Ask AI (an internal AI/chatbot system), which today handles almost 94% of all routine HR requests, such as:
vacation requests
onboarding new employees
payroll information and attendance records
benefit selection and answers to basic employment questions
Results of AI implementation at IBM
94% of the HR agenda is automated
Payroll, vacation, administration even terminations have been automated
$3.5 billion saved
40% drop in HR costs
IBM also claims that employees are happier. The HR department s internal NPS score increased from -35 to +74 after the implementation of AskHR (source: HR Asia). 6% of questions are still directed at people AI has not yet completely replaced complex or emotionally sensitive situations.
I think many tech product builders, including myself, can easily fall into tunnel vision, whereby I am overly convinced that the feature we re working on is clearly justified. With vibe-coding tools, the cost of building new features has also dropped dramatically. But lower development costs didn't seem to translate to product growth in my organization. Many newly launched features still receive little adoption, or have a hard time "syncing" with the rest of the product.
So I m curious: how do you decide when a feature is actually worth building? Do you wait for repeated user requests, test a lightweight version first, trust your product instinct, or rely on behavioral data before committing?
TBH, I think chasing your dream is a luxury and not a given, I couldn't just do it out of gut feeling, I had to build toward that. In my case, there have been two determining factors:
- a certain level of security for a few months ahead
- the right project (have done a couple of projects before, both eventually dropped, the third one was the charm!) What about you?
Anyone else deal with this? I work on a big external monitor, and every time I present, people are squinting at a shrunk down version of my screen going "can you zoom in?" The bigger your monitor, the tinier everything gets on their end. It drives me nuts. And on top of that these call apps like Teams, only allow you to share one window at a time. There are comparative solutions like PrivacyStage, BetterStage, etc., but anyone else able to find any better way to solve this?
Hey there! I'm Will; serial entrepneur, programmer, product designer, and the co-founder of Dora AI. From my early days of tinkering with radios and other hardware, to getting lost in the world of cutting-edge technology, I've always been a geek at heart. That geekiness brought you Dora, my fourth startup project, and I hope to create a new web design tool that can help designers quickly create top-notch websites with interactive 3D effects and complex animations without writing any code. After more than two years of product development, cutting-edge designers and top studios from over 20 countries around the world have become dedicated users of Dora. Today we are taking a new step: launching Dora AI, which can generate top-notch websites like Apple-level with just one sentence, and even generate interactive 3D animations. Join me for an Ask Me Anything (AMA) discussion. Let's dive deep into the realms of AI, startups, and everything in between.
As a community manager, I'll love to create a discord server for active Product Hunt community members to network. Is this something you'd love to be a part of? Comment let me know.
Hey Makers! Jamie from the Product Hunt team here. Launches are a way to share big milestones for your team over the course of many months of work, but there are so many smaller updates in between that might be interesting to share and connect with the community. We re exploring some new ways to make posting product updates more frequent, and we're curious to hear from you on what would help you most. Makers, if you had a way to post incremental product updates (written, video, or some other way), would you do it? Product enthusiasts, would you find these updates an interesting way to follow along with your favorite makers so they don t become long lost friends you haven t heard from in 6 months? Fill out the poll and comment below with your thoughts.
Elon Musk along with a bunch of few other companies like Apple asked for pausing AI development beyond GPT-4 for 6 months. What are your thoughts on this ? Follow me on Twitter for AI news :- https://twitter.com/matchaman11
Getting early customers for your product isn't easy - they need to buy into your vision and get a ton of value from your product. Let me know if you have any inspiring (or lucky ) stories about how you attracted and closed on your first paying customer!
