Hey ProductHunt,
I'm building AIssential 450+ AI sources (arXiv, newsletters, YouTube channels, podcasts) filtered down to exactly what matters for your role.
The problem: AI moves faster than any individual can track.
Even a full-time engineer or PhD can miss a critical paper or architecture analysis just by taking a long weekend.
I know because it happened to me.
9 months in the making. Early access is live at aissential.tech would love feedback from this community before launch.
Hey Product Hunters!
I built AIssential after spending too many hours
every week trying to stay up with AI across arXiv,
newsletters, YouTube, blogs, and podcasts.
The insight: curation isn't about fewer sources — it's
about matching sources to your specific role and focus.
An AI engineer and an AI policy researcher should see
completely different feeds from the same 450 sources.
Happy to answer any questions about how the enrichment and
the filtering work or the tech behind it.
Update, Aug 2026 — the pitch above is a year old and no longer describes the product.
AIssential started as a filtered feed: 450 sources, one feed per role. It worked, and it didn't matter — a better feed is still something you have to read and turn into a call yourself.
So the product moved. Counsel takes the decisions you've actually got open and argues a position on each one, quoting real published work verbatim rather than improvising. The mechanism is the whole thing: a chatbot writes first and cites later; this reads first and writes only what it can quote.
Public verdicts are readable without an account if you'd rather judge the goods before signing up.
