We've been prototyping this internally for a while, but this is our first public feature for searching and exploring Product Hunt's data with AI. It's informed not just by launch traction and discussions, but also by hundreds of thousands of reviews, including over a hundred thousand founder reviews, so you can find the best products for you. Try it out and let us know what you think!

 This has been a long time coming, and it’s awesome to finally see it live. Just used it to look for an invoice generator and already discovered a bunch of great options.

This will make product discovery easier on Product Hunt. Many congrats Rajiv and the team on shipping this!

 Really like this.
The best product discovery UX is increasingly becoming intent-first, not filter-first.
This feels like the right direction for Product Hunt.

 Yep I did like it a lot ! I wanted to find the dev tools that launched today and it was very informative.

 nice. It would be super interesting to know what you do under the hood?

This was one of the missing feature on PH. I believe you guys will make improvements soon on this, such as I see results bringing dead products (not operation). Also there can be more than 5 results.
Anyways, thanks to everyone behind this feature 👍

Maker

 which products did you find that are dead?

 thank you for your follow-up.
Not exactly remember the product names, but I made a search with "automated cryptocurrency trading", and I tried to reach their products via the link in PH, 4 of those websites was not accessible.
I know there are good products related to my search query in PH, but I couldn't see them.
Again, thank you everyone behind this great feature!

this will help a lot, small feedback i tried search for open source tools that are launched this week but it was not sure and show only couple of tools but PH has a open source tag why its not showing the relevant tools?

Maker

 good catch! I think we can work on this - cc

Maker

 Thanks for flagging this! We've fixed this, so you'll actually get open source results.

 thanks for quick fix really appreciate it man

Cool! Is there any aspiration to look for things beyond the products? E.g. in forums, mentions in your newsletters etc.?

Maker

 I think this is a really interesting idea! What would you expect to find when forums or newsletter mentions are surfaced?

 I exactly do not know how the tool will execute it, but sometimes I remember only snippets of conversation (e.g. when someone mentions an interesting study or fact within the post or comment.)

I cannot find the forum, so my hectic searching happens in keywords like: LinkedIn tool against ban – and then, it can, for example, show me results, e.g. of that product from product categories, or discussions related to such kind of tools (possibly can filter it).

I'm so stoked to be part of this release! How many times have you tried Googling (or even asking ChatGPT) with a specific pain point only to fall short of the solution or end up comparing multiple products, eventually either giving up or choosing one out of frustration.

Ask Product Hunt is the first step to reducing a lot of that friction! Simply ask what you're looking for and BOOM - instant results that will help you achieve what your trying to do and.... you can instantly compare different products in the same chat.

tbh this wouldve saved me a few evenings of manual digging before my own launch. hows freshness handled, does a 2022 product w/ strong traction outrank something shipped last month?

thats usually where category-scoping searches fall apart imo. bookmarking either way

Love the direction, especially around discovery and community. The challenge (as always) will be maintaining signal vs noise as more products launch. If you get that right, this remains one of the most powerful launch platforms out there.

Awesome! Finally there's ask on PH!

yeah! I was playing there and it's super cool. The timing and data are amazingly accurate. You're always a step ahead. Really congrats!

Tried it, really great, very useful. Any plan to bring this into private collections? I save many products there, so having this inside collections would be very useful.

Maker

 can you say more about what you're trying to do? and how you envision using ai in collections? Like...are you trying to search your collections?

 I'm very often on Product Hunt and see a lot of launches, so I started saving many tools into my collection. But I realized I almost never go back to them. Being able to use this AI to search inside my collections would be very useful.
When I save a product into my collection, it means it already caught my attention and I kind of remember it, but finding it again later can get messy (scrolling into my collection, re-reading launches, trying to recognize the right one). So having this AI that can search inside private collections would be extremely useful. Sometimes I remember a tool that does something very specific, and I know I already saved it in my collection, but finding it again can be a bit annoying.. Being able to describe what the tool does and quickly find it would make collections much more powerful.
