Most push notification tools make you do the work daily. PushPilot is different — set up your campaign once, and the AI writes & sends fresh, personalized notifications every single day. Automatically. → No copy-pasting the same message daily → Works with Firebase & OneSignal you already use → No SDK changes needed → Built to retain users, not just send blasts The only push notification tool where AI fully runs your campaigns — so your users never go cold.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Harsh, founder of PushPilot — and I built this out of a frustration
I kept hearing from app teams:
"We know we should be sending push notifications daily, but we just don't
have the time to write them every single day."
So instead of another tool that helps you send notifications faster,
I built one that removes the daily work entirely.
Here's how PushPilot works:
→ You describe your campaign goal once in plain English
→ The AI writes fresh, personalized notifications every single day
→ They go out automatically via Firebase or OneSignal
→ Your users stay engaged — without your team lifting a finger
No copy-pasting. No repetitive content. No SDK changes.
We're live today with a free plan — no credit card needed.
I'd love to hear from anyone managing push notifications for their app:
What's the biggest pain point you face with user retention today?
Happy to answer any questions below 👇
How are you handling delivery reliability here? Like if a notification fails, is there any retry mechanism?
@new_user___0842026266099961450c7f9 Our native integration with FCM (directly or via OneSignal) provides robust and reliable notification delivery, validated through testing on millions of devices.
@leera Is your retry mechanism idempotent? How do you prevent duplicate notifications on retries?
@new_user___0842026266099961450c7f9 Great question — reliability is something we’ve spent a lot of time on 🙂
Under the hood, PushPilot relies on native FCM delivery (either directly or via integrations like OneSignal), so we’re building on top of a very robust infrastructure.
On top of that, we have retry mechanisms in place for transient failures (like network issues or temporary service unavailability). We also track delivery responses so we can handle failures more intelligently rather than just blindly retrying.
Still early, but improving observability (delivery status, failure reasons, etc.) is something we’re actively investing in.
What types of campaigns are working best with PushPilot right now? I'm imagining this could be great for daily habit apps, news/content apps, or e-commerce re-engagement — but curious what you're seeing get the best retention results?
@aditik spot on! you actually nailed our top use cases right there.
honestly, the biggest retention bumps we're seeing right now are in the e-commerce and creator/content spaces. a lot of teams are using it for quick, targeted re-engagement blasts, like "new drop" announcements, flash sales, or weekly content digests.
because we made the campaign builder so lightweight, we're noticing founders are sending more consistent, timely updates instead of putting off massive, complex newsletters. the daily habit angle is a super interesting one too, we've got a couple of early users playing with weekly milestone nudges.
what kind of app are you currently working on? would love to hear how you'd imagine using it!
@aditik Great question — and you’re pretty much spot on with those use cases 🙂
What we’re seeing so far is that it’s less about the industry and more about when and why the notification is triggered.
Does this support both Android and iOS push services, or is it tied to Firebase only?
@david_david48 it support iOS as well. this product uses OneSignal or Firebase to send notifications to user.
@enworl Great question — this comes up a lot 🙂
We’ve actually designed PushPilot to be flexible depending on how you’re currently set up.
If you’re already using OneSignal, you can continue with that and connect it to PushPilot without needing to rip anything out. We don’t force you to migrate or change your existing pipeline — the idea is to layer on top and make things easier from a product/operations perspective.
At the same time, PushPilot also works directly with FCM through a native integration. So if you prefer to avoid intermediaries or want a more direct setup, you can go that route as well.
Under the hood, we use the appropriate APIs (whether it’s FCM directly or via OneSignal) to ensure reliable delivery. We’ve tested this across millions of devices, so the focus is really on making sure notifications are both dependable and easy to manage.
In short — you’re not locked into a single approach. You can either plug into your existing OneSignal setup or use PushPilot as a more direct layer with FCM, depending on what fits your use case better 👍
@david_david48 Do you have any other query ?
hey PH! 👋 so pumped to finally share this with you all today.
as the one driving the product side of things, my biggest obsession with PushPilot was just stripping away the bloat. we noticed how tedious it was to just get a simple campaign out the door without fighting a clunky UI or over-complicated setups. our goal was to build something that feels lightweight, fast, and just gets out of your way so you can actually focus on your campaigns.
I'll be hanging around the comments all day, would absolutely love to hear your honest feedback on the UX/flow and what features you'd want to see on our roadmap next!
Push notifications are such a small thing but somehow take up a huge chunk of my day. Writing them again and again gets exhausting.
@abhay_singh89 Thanks Abhay, we will do out best to make this product more productive.
It’s weird how something so short like a push notification can take so long to get right. Half my time goes into tweaking wording.
