AI is everywhere right now - from copilots and chat assistants to analytics, research, and planning tools. But beyond the hype, I m curious about what s truly useful in day-to-day product work.
From a PM or founder perspective:
Where has AI genuinely saved you time?
What tasks do you trust AI with - and what do you never delegate?
Has AI changed how you write specs, manage roadmaps, or talk to users?
What AI use cases sounded great in theory but failed in practice?
Personally, I see a lot of potential, but also a lot of noise. I believe that in the future, AI should help us much more. Create good roadmaps, convert product specs into concrete tasks, prioritise them, assign people, push for realisation, and much more.
About a week ago, there was a case in my country where a woman took a Bolt taxi, which, instead of taking her to the designated place, started driving her to the Austrian border. In the end, the woman jumped out of the car to save herself.
[So the police were not very active, and Bolt just used only AI-generated answers, the company then announced it was a mistake in the GPS... but to be honest, I would say it was a kidnapping attempt].
December is the month that officially closes the launch chapter of the year, so you still have a last chance to come up with something that will get attention.
Such December classics are definitely products with these narratives:
Wrap-ups
Advent Calendars
Most searched topics
Prognosis for the coming year
Productivity and health apps (ready for New Year's resolutions)
When you re browsing the Product Hunt leaderboard or checking out top launches, which category of products actually makes you stop and click?
Example, yesterday @lazverry told me on my forum thread that they are a creator, so they spend a lot of time looking into Design & Creatives and Productivity.
AI as you know it is disrupting industries, and the software industry is at the forefront of this disruption. So what will be the future of SaaS, a model that presents users value for use?
The first and most important impact as we are already seeing is that the barrier for non-technical people to build software they require will drastically drop. This is evident in tools like lovable, bolt, replit etc... where users with no coding experience can whip up apps in a couple of minutes or hours as the case maybe.
There's a stat that keeps haunting me: 61% of young adults report feeling seriously lonely. Not occasionally seriously.
I know this number isn't abstract. When I started building Murror (an AI companion app for young people battling isolation), I was living it. Working from a tiny apartment, going days without a real conversation, completely absorbed in a product designed to solve the very problem I was drowning in. The irony wasn't lost on me.
