Founded in 2013 as a tiny side project, Product Hunt has become the place for makers and companies to launch their latest app, gadget, or physical products to the world. It's a global community of friendly folks sharing and discussing the latest in tech.
This is the 123rd launch from Product Hunt. View more

Hey folks,
You already ask your AI assistant which tools to use. Now it can do that research using Product Hunt. Describe what you need, compare alternatives, and see what people like or dislike. Community reviews, ratings, and maker details give you more to go on than a product description alone.
Try asking:
Find tools for turning meeting notes into tasks.
Find alternatives to Notion and compare their Product Hunt reviews.
What were the top products on Product Hunt last month?
Building something of your own? Ask your assistant to draft a launch from your README and website. It can help with copy, images, and missing details to craft the best version of your launch.
We want Product Hunt to be useful wherever you're discovering and researching products. And we want sharing what you've built to be just as easy, so there's more for everyone to discover.
Install instructions are here. Give it a try and tell us how it goes. What could we improve to make it more useful for you?
(P.S. You can send feedback without leaving your chat. Ask your assistant to use the submit_feedback tool to tell us what worked, what didn't, or what you'd love to see next. We'd love to hear from you!)
@mike_ciesielka1 Hey Mike, this is a fantastic upgrade to Product Hunt, something I was personally looking forward to.
Earlier this year, Product Hunt rolled out Ask Product Hunt AI, which was later removed, and the MCP feels like a much more powerful evolution of that idea. It seems like search was pulled back so it could be rebuilt into something far more capable... The MCP!
I also think it’s more important than ever for Product Hunt to encourage product reviews. The combination of quantitative signals (rankings, votes, and other metrics) and qualitative insights (from founders, comments, and reviews) will make the platform far more valuable.
Rewarding meaningful community feedback could help aggregate more public support for products, which in turn can power LLMs and make product discovery even smarter.
Product Hunt, G2, and similar platforms will play an increasingly important role in helping people decide which product is right for their specific use case.
The Product Hunt MCP makes it much easier to access Product Hunt data such as last month’s top products, the most-commented or best-reviewed launches, and emerging categories that everyone is building in. That kind of accessible, structured data is incredibly valuable.
The launch draft feature is also amazing. I’ll definitely give it a try and share any feedback or suggestions on how it could be improved.
Kudos to you, Mike! :)
@mike_ciesielka1
Guys, this is amazing! A really cool update.
How do this work for hunters who want to post products on other makers' behalves?
@chrismessina If you can do it on the site, you should be able to do it via the MCP. If you have issues, let us know.
@mike_ciesielka1 ok — and what's the best way to send feedback (i.e. once launch day is over)?
@chrismessina ask your agent to submit feedback to us (the MCP has a tool to do so)! if that's proving problematic, an email to help@producthunt.com will help us set you straight.
@mike_ciesielka1 ha, nice!
Love this idea.
Can it calculate my preparedness for the launch (chances of being featured)?
Can it scan all the launches so far and give me an overview of whether something similar (competitors) already exists in the history of this platform?
@busmark_w_nika great suggestions, both points would help founders and teams a lot! so ++ from me 🙌 competitor research on PH is smth everyone need to do before launching, it would be great to have it done directly from the PH using MCP ⚡
@busmark_w_nika
@amraniyasser +1. the best way to understand the capabilities of the MCP are just to ask it. we don't offer any explicit chances of featuring today.
@busmark_w_nika @amraniyasser too random even with AI to look for patterns :)
@amraniyasser Those featuring estimations would be much needed :D
@busmark_w_nika Pitching a product is hard, and we know that's a big reason why launching here can be tough. What's the best tagline? Are these the best images? Do people understand what I'm talking about? Answering those questions is a great reason to launch on Product Hunt in the first place, but we definitely want to help you put your best foot forward too.
Like the website, the MCP should help you understand the "completeness" of your launch and expect more changes on all these surfaces to help nudge you towards the best version of that launch as well. And if your launch is clearly articulated, differentiated (ask the MCP about doing some of that competitive research!), and well-executed, that sure sounds like something worth featuring.
"Is my launch ready? List anything missing before I submit." Does it just check that all the required fields are filled in, or does it also give feedback on the quality of content?
@amraniyasser it sticks pretty close to the requirements in most cases today, but there are some slivers of subjectivity that we'll expand moving forward. we want to make it easy to steer towards the best version of your launch.
This works great, saved me multiple copy paste from my Agent as we gear up to launch. Are you also planning to add support for comments and replies via MCP?
This might finally crack producthunts search feature? To be finally actually be useful for discovery and finally actually work? please say yes. Please please please 😸🙏
@alchemist_studio I think this is a place where we'll always have room for improvement, but we do hope that empowering your agents with the data should certainly help. Let us know how it does and where we could improve. Be specific when you can!
@mike_ciesielka1 I guess search is hard. But its also super valuable if done right. producthunt is an innovation competition first and formost and second it is a directory service. the biggest directory of products on the internet. thats where the untapped potential is. No one uses produthunt for the second part because it doesnt work. You search for something you need and you get 10 unrelated matches. Instead it should be inteligent. If you search for agentic email. it should show the top 5 agentic email products rated by how well these did on launch etc. And it should show it in the search. OpenMail - Simple agentic email service (340 upvotes, 5th place) etc etc. Thats what I would want. I guess the GOAT @chrismessina also most likley has some power user wishes for search UX on PH 😸
@alchemist_studio ugg, Product Hunt search is SOO bad. Let's hope this motivates improvements!
this is GOATED.
all the missing gold from future launches can be fixed by running this on an agent within an existing repo 🚀
gonna use this for our next launch >
