Hi Product Hunt 👋 I built ProWorkBench after noticing a growing problem with AI agents: They either can’t actually execute real work, or they execute too much without control. ProWorkBench takes a different approach — governed autonomy. Instead of silent execution: • actions are proposed • policies apply • you explicitly invoke execution This keeps automation powerful while still safe and understandable. It runs locally, supports both local and API models, and is designed to become an extensible AI work platform rather than another chat interface. We also opened our affiliate program today — early partners can earn up to 50% commission as the ecosystem grows. I’d genuinely love feedback from builders, automation nerds, and anyone experimenting with AI agents right now. Thanks for checking it out 🙏 — Jamie ⭐ Optional “Hunter Comment” Reply (Post Later) After a few comments appear, reply with: One thing we learned building PB: governance isn’t a limitation — it’s what makes autonomy usable in the real world. This drives engagement. 🧩 Screenshot Order (Use This Sequence) PH users swipe like TikTok — order matters: 1️⃣ Hero overview (what PB is) 2️⃣ Approvals/governance workflow 3️⃣ Local model connection 4️⃣ Plugin/extension concept 5️⃣ Affiliate program screenshot ← important 6️⃣ Dashboard or execution example 🔥 Positioning Summary (What You’re Actually Launching) You are NOT launching: an AI chatbot an automation toy You are launching: A governed execution layer for AI agents That framing attracts serious builders and affiliates. If you want, next I can give you the “Day-1 launch timeline” (hour-by-hour what to do after posting) — that’s the part most founders mess up and it determines whether you drift or gain momentum.
