From AI engineer to founder — launching Clipo AI tomorrow
Hey everyone! I'm Abhishek, founder of Clipo AI.
Quick background: I spent 8 years building AI systems for video content deep learning research with Sony Japan, then founding AI engineer at Vidyo.ai (now Quso.ai). After working with hundreds of creators, I kept seeing the same problem: one great video recorded, then 6+ hours spent turning it into clips, posts, carousels, and thumbnails using 5-6 different tools.
So I built Clipo one upload, 20 pieces of publish-ready content. Clips with virality scores, branded carousels, voice-aligned LinkedIn/Twitter posts, thumbnails, AI images, subtitles, and more. 12 products in one connected workflow.
We're launching on Product Hunt tomorrow (May 6). This is my first time building in public I've always been the behind-the-scenes engineer. Would love to connect with other makers here.
I'm Community Member of the Year!
Is Product Hunt still for the "garage" indie maker, or is it dominated by big corps?
I m getting ready for my first-ever product launch, and I ll be honest, I m feeling like the ultimate underdog. I m a 50-year-old Realtor from the Canadian Prairies, and looking at some of these launch teams with their massive marketing budgets and VC backing is a little intimidating.
I built this solution because I had a problem I needed to solve: my own doomscrolling habit. Since I don't have a technical background, I used AI as my "expert partner" to help me navigate the roadmap and bridge the gaps I didn't even know I had.
But now that I'm at the starting line, I have to ask: Can a solo, non-tech founder still rank well here? Or has the platform shifted to favor the big players with the huge email lists?
I d love to hear from other indie makers how do you compete when you don't have a marketing department? Is the "Maker's Story" still enough to get people to pay attention?
Introducing myself
Hi everyone!
I m Rajiv, and I ve been working on a project called tseda (Time Series Explorer).
If you ve ever stared at a messy time series dataset and wondered where to even start, I built this for you! It s an app designed to take the headache out of exploring and decomposing regularly sampled data (hourly or greater).
The "Why" behind it:
I wanted a tool that didn't just give me a raw plot, but actually helped me understand the structure of the data. tseda uses Singular Spectral Analysis (SSA) to break things down into Trend, Seasonality, and Noise, but it does the heavy lifting for you automating window selection and suggesting component groupings so you aren't just guessing.
Hi I'm Jeff I'm an acquired founder looking to reconnecting with founders!
After several years of founding and running a VC backed startup that got acquired by a fortune 100 I am looking to reconnect with the founder community!
With AI it's such a fun time to build now, but go-to-market is the new bottleneck. I'd love to connect with folks to share stories!
Hey PH, solo founder who spent 8 months building an AI reading assistant. Finally here.
Hi Product Hunt community
I'm Hiurich, a non-technical solo founder who learned to code by building. I'm based in Venezuela and I've been lurking on PH for a while, finally decided to stop lurking and actually show up.
What brought me here:
Pitch your product here, maybe someone is looking exactly for what you offer.
I'm good at building. Marketing is a different story.
Hey I'm James, a software developer from Australia with 20+ years building things professionally.
Most of my career I've been the person behind the scenes solving hard technical problems, shipping reliable software, making other people's ideas work. Unravl is the first thing I've built entirely for myself, and now I'm figuring out the part they don't teach developers: how to actually get it in front of people who might find it useful.
No funding. No growth team. No playbook. Just me, the product, and a lot of learning in public.
If you've been down this road builder trying to find an audience I'd genuinely love to hear what worked for you. And if Unravl sounds like something you'd use, even better.
First-time builder working on a focus tool
Hey everyone
I m Qasim, currently building my first product
I kept running into the same problem while working, constantly switching apps mid-task and breaking focus without even realizing it
Tried using timers but they didn t really change anything for me, they just tracked time while I was distracted
hey from tampa, solo bootstrapping my first AI product
hey everyone, matt here from tampa
solo bootstrapping an AI product after spending most of my career nowhere near tech. 6 months ago i couldn't write a line of code. yesterday i shipped a live, paid product to swarmseller.com.
