We're building a platform to prove what AI builders can actually do, would love your honest take

by

Hey everyone, I'm Shukria, co-founder of TAM Network. First time posting here, so wanted to introduce myself and what we're working on. Would genuinely love feedback from this community.

Here's the problem we ran into:

My co-founder and I work with a lot of AI builders, developers, automators, no-code creators, strategists. The one thing we kept hearing was: "I've built incredible things with AI, but I have no way to prove it."

Resumes don't capture it. GitHub repos miss the context. Certificates test memorization, not real-world problem solving. And companies hiring for AI roles have no reliable way to tell who can actually deliver.

So we built TAM Network.

It's an AI-native platform where builders:

→ Earn verified build records for work they've actually shipped

→ Get a TAM Score based on real output, not self-reported skills

→ Complete paid missions ($200–$750+) solving real company challenges

→ Get discovered by companies hiring based on proof, not resumes

Think of it as the verification layer that's been missing between "I know AI" and "here's what I've actually built with it."

We're pre-launch right now. Early community is 2,400+ students, 380+ builders, and 95+ companies. Planning our Product Hunt launch soon.

A few questions I'd love this community's take on:

1. When you're evaluating someone's AI skills (hiring or partnering), what do you actually look at? What's missing from the current options?

2. For those who've launched on PH, any advice for a first-time launcher? We're both new to the community and learning as we go.

3. Would you use something like a "verified build record" for your own work, or does it feel like overkill?

Appreciate any thoughts, even the brutal ones. That's how we get better.

This sounds super promising...love the focus on verified build records for real AI output!

On PH launches (from a few under my belt, one POTD): outreach...outreach...outreach was the key. Build relationships early.

If you're up for it, I'm launching The Sponge on PH soon...an AI-powered flashcard app with a browser extension that turns webpages into study material via spaced repetition. Would appreciate a follow (see "PRODUCT HUNT LAUNCH" link in profile).

Great idea!
We are in the same boat but with different destinations...
Yes, there is a VERIFICATION problem. Everyone is just declaring what they know, what they do, etc., but we definitely need a verification layer.
Would you be interested in connecting?
