First, a huge thank you to the whole community for your support on AINA's launch day. We're grateful to be at the top, with such strong competition around us.
What we love about Product Hunt is that it's really about community and genuine connections. Preparation and launch day both taught us a lot.
This could be huge for people getting back into the job market after a break or years in one role
@gorns Evgenii, yes, exactly. After a break or years in one role, people often struggle to position themselves again, and ATS filters make it even harder to understand why they’re not getting interviews! It's absolutly crazy. That’s one of the situations where we hope AINA can be especially useful.
@gorns Absolutely! And even getting comfortable with interviews again can be a challenge after a long break. Being able to practice a few times before the real conversation can make that return feel much easier!
@olya_vasilevskaya Thank you so much for the support!
We haven’t planned that yet - for now, our main focus is on self-presentation and interview practice for job searching. But who knows, You never know where a new idea might take you.
@olya_vasilevskaya I love that you already found another way to use it :) Practicing for meetings in English is such an interesting one. Thanks for sharing this, Olga!
@alexandra_senyutich @olya_vasilevskaya That’s a great idea! We’re moving really fast, and today’s feedback is already helping us see where to go next. Thanks for sharing it - keep an eye on us, there’s a lot more coming!
@olya_vasilevskaya Thank you so much for bringing up this idea!
The Interview experience was unexpectedly great. Looking forward to it
@5atyam_5rivastava So glad you enjoyed the interview experience! Thank you for trying AINA and sharing your feedback 😊
@5atyam_5rivastava Love hearing this! Hope to see you back for another practice!
@5atyam_5rivastava “Unexpectedly great” - we’ll happily take that 😄 You’ve also raised the bar for the next version!
What surprised you most: the avatar, the questions, or how the conversation adapted to your answers?
Love it! How did you get into GPT-6 Astra Challenge?
@a_6 Thanks, Anna! We use GPT-6 Astra in AINA, so when Product Hunt and OpenAI announced the challenge, it felt like a natural fit. We joined through the challenge page and scheduled our launch for September 18!!!
@a_6 Thanks, Anna! The challenge came at the perfect time for us, especially since we were already working with Astra in AINA. Really happy we got to be part of it!
@a_6 Hey Anna! Thank you! 🙌 It was actually perfect timing. We had already integrated GPT-6 Astra to build personalized candidate development plans after sessions with our AI coach, even before we knew about the challenge, so we took the opportunity to join!
Oh wow, I definitely was doing a lot of mentoring and coaching for people in my own company, and this is a real changer. Basically, we can use it not only outside the company but inside the company to actually help people understand their needs and build personalized plans. Amazing product.
@saicheg Thank you so much, Valentine! It means a lot that you actually tried AINA and immediately saw a real use case for your team.
Using it to help employees understand their goals and build personalized growth plans is a powerful direction for us to explore.
Which part felt most useful to you as a mentor: the coach’s questions, the insights, or the personalized recommendations?
@saicheg Love that you saw this use case right away! From the recruiting side, I find the idea of supporting people not only when they’re looking for a new role, but also while they’re growing in their current one, really interesting. Thanks for trying AINA and sharing this perspective!
Hiring itself is a very difficult job, and it's good to see how AINA is actually solving for both sides: companies and candidates. Congrats on the launch on Product Hunt to the whole team, and excited to try out this product.
@kartikrawatt Thank you, Kartik! That’s exactly the vision behind AINA: one connected hiring journey where companies get clearer signals and candidates get guidance, preparation, and support. We’re excited for you to try it and please come back and tell us what worked and what we should improve!!!
@kartikrawatt Thanks so much, Kartik! Really happy that the value for both sides came through. That’s a big part of what we’re building with AINA! Would love to hear what you think once you give it a try!
@kartikrawatt Thank you so much for your thoughtful words and support! 💙 Making the hiring journey better for both candidates and companies is exactly what we’re working toward. We’d love to hear your feedback once you’ve tried AINA 😊
hmm, I tested and would say, that it cool. Sold!
@aleron WOW, Alexsandr! That’s incredibly inspiring for us to hear. Thank you so much!
@aleron So happy you liked it, Alexandr! Thanks for the support!
@aleron Thanks so much for testing it and for the kind words! Would love to hear your feedback as you keep exploring.
