Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Chihan, building Ari

🙋‍♀️ Hi from Austin, TX!

In the last few years, I've been moving around different enterprises and startups. Pretty different worlds but somehow they all got me more interested in one particular topic - the way people work together.

Not the nice and shiny version of work.
The real work.

When you're in a meeting that no one fully understands when it ends. The decision that you knew had been made somewhere along the way. The follow-up that everyone had good intentions about...until 2 weeks passed.

These things used to frustrate me.

These days they make me curiously intrigued.

My fascination is one of the reasons why I helped build Ari with my team at Ariso. And these past few months have probably seen me ask more questions about AI and the future of work than answered them. 😂

Alright, so here’s my agenda – simple enough, share what we’ve learned building, share when things aren’t going well, learn from others who’ve gone through the messy bits already, and hopefully meet some of the builders of the many products I discover here.

I am particularly excited about the chats that will take place in between launches. Lessons learned randomly, firm beliefs, failed experiments, small wins, and those “oh! I wish someone would have told me this six months ago!” moments. They are typically the most interesting ones.

So if you are building something, please stop by 🙌
It would be great to chat about your project!

💬 What’s one lesson you have learned building that you wished someone had told you before?
