🗣️ Find the right product, just ask
by•
We just shipped something new on Product Hunt.
Ask Product Hunt AI is a way to explore launches, products, and discussions without digging through pages or trying the perfect search query. You can just ask a question and it pulls from everything happening on the platform — products, comments, makers, all of it.
Looking for tools in a specific space? Want to see what people are saying about a launch? Trying to find something you saw last week but forgot the name of? Just ask.
It’s early, and we’re still figuring out what this becomes, so we’d love your feedback.
Try it out, break it, tell us what’s missing.

@aaronoleary For finding a product in general, this is amazing !! Like searching for a tool to grow on LinkedIn, something for SEO or an emailing tool...
But when trying to find a launch you saw before and don’t remember the name, I think adding filters would help a lot.
For example: launch date (last week, last month), launch tags, logo colors, makers and hunters (search by name)… That would make it much easier !!
Are you also planning to integrate this into private collections? I save a lot of products there, and having this available inside collections would be very useful.

@amraniyasser Good suggestions!

@aaronoleary Thanks! How’s the feedback? Any surprising ones?!
Pulling from comments + makers is powerful but messy. How do you decide what signal to prioritize?
Love the "just ask" philosophy — removing friction is everything. 🚀
I built something similar but for a totally different vertical: an AI copilot for gardeners (frost alerts, disease diagnosis from photos, planting calendars). It made me wonder: do you think vertical-specific "Ask AI" assistants work better than general search, or is the magic precisely in having everything in one place?
Either way, congrats on shipping!
Perfect for "I saw something but forgot the name". Are you planning any personal memory/history layer?

Really like this.
For Product Hunt, “just ask” feels more natural than search already.
The real unlock is when it stops feeling like a feature and starts becoming the default way people explore launches, products, and discussions.
The "forgot the name but remember the feeling" use case is the one search never solved. This might actually crack it.
Nice ship. One thing I keep wondering about with these, if Ask PH answers well enough, does it start to pull traffic away from the actual launch pages?
Or are you seeing it work more as a feeder that surfaces products people wouldn't have found otherwise? Feels like a real tension to design around.

Search on PH has always been a bit limiting when you’re exploring a problem, not a specific tool, so this layer makes a lot of sense.
How you will balance recency (hype / launches) vs long-term signal (retention, real usage, reviews). That’s probably where most of the value will be.
Excited to see where this goes.
@aaronoleary I hope this pulls in more consumers to the site so that we aren't just pitching to other product creators all the time!
Building off @amraniyasser , if adding all these filters, maybe it would be cool to have a toggle for chat mode and filter mode. Similar to how in the LLMs when making artefacts you can switch between code view and visual view. Unclear on how that would work technically, but I Am sure Claude can help XD
Great move. Product Hunt has so much valuable context hidden inside launches, comments, and maker discussions, so being able to ask directly feels much more natural than searching manually.
Would love to see filters like “launched this week,” “most discussed,” or “best for solo founders” inside the AI results. This could become a really strong discovery layer for the whole PH community 🚀
