What I learned from launching a niche AI product on Product Hunt

by•

I launched Mystilink on Product Hunt a few days ago.

Mystilink is a desktop AI workspace for traditional metaphysics, including BaZi, Zi Wei Dou Shu and Saju.

The launch didn’t create a huge traffic spike — but it gave us something useful: a clearer picture of how difficult it is to communicate a highly specialized product to a general tech audience.

One thing I am thinking about now is positioning.

Should a vertical AI product lead with the technology — “desktop AI agent” — or lead with the problem/domain it was built for?

For Mystilink, I’re increasingly leaning toward the latter.

Instead of trying to be another general-purpose AI agent, I want to go deeper into the workflows that practitioners actually need.

I am continuing to build from here.

If you came across Mystilink during the launch, I’d be especially interested to know: what was the first thing you thought the product did?
