We re officially in nominees season for the Orbit Awards: AI Workflow Automation.

What's the most important aspect of video creation for you? What do you want to do the most that you cannot currently do easily?

After our first launch on Product Hunt, our team spent a little over a month upgrading the product. There were major changes to the UI and several new features added, so the process took time from discussions and redesigning the interface to testing, fixing bugs, and updating AI prompts.

We re also a very small team, so everyone had to push themselves to give 200%. Time and resources are limited, and at the same time, we also had to work on securing funding for the next six months to keep the team running and continue developing the app.

Hey everyone!

What a day. Thank you all so much for the support.

As reported by @alexeheath :

• An AI agent social network: When we asked about social networking ambitions beyond Sora, Simo went somewhere unexpected: What happens to social relationships in a world where everybody has their own personal agents? And how can these personal agents help you manage your social relationships in a better way? She framed it not as agents aimlessly talking to agents like Moltbook, but as AI mediating existing human relationships. We haven t cracked what that will look like, but I think that s a very interesting area.

With the advent of clawdbots, it's as if we've all lost our inhibitions and "put our lives completely in their hands."

I'm all for delegating work, but not giving them too much personal/sensitive stuff to handle.

Hi Product Hunt!
I m Lili, one of the Engineers at Warp who built Oz an orchestration platform for cloud agents.
Oz helps devs run coding agents at scale safely with orchestration, observability, a unified local <> cloud experience.
I worked on setting up our cloud environments with all the tools agents need to run code (there is a lot to unpack here, getting cloud agents to work on arbitrary base docker images was more challenging than you might think!), surfacing agent runs and artifacts like PRs and plans in our desktop and web apps, and integrating the Oz agent directly into GitHub actions.
Building with and on top of Oz has been so much fun. The platform is incredibly flexible, and the primitives we ve built unlock a whole new level of experimentation and automation.
AMA about how we built Oz, our favorite use cases, and where we see the platform going!

As usual, Y Combinator came up with segments that are worth investing:

1. Cursor for Product Managers
2. AI-Native Hedge Funds
3. AI-Native Agencies
4. Stablecoin Financial Services
5. AI for Government
6. Modern Metal Mills
7. AI Guidance for Physical Work 8. Large Spatial Models 9. Infra for Government Fraud Hunters 10. Make LLMs Easy to Train

As a measure of the impact of vibe coding and the need to focus on positioning, narrative, and marketing and distribution, I noticed that that 610 products were submitted to the Product Hunt leaderboard today, but only 16 were featured which is less than 3%.

The previous high was just over 500 products in December.

Since I haven't been able to meet my work goals very well in the last few quarters, I now plan to approach them more systematically and not push myself too hard on work goals, as that ultimately led to problems that made my plan less sustainable.

So here is my structure and list:

New AI models pop up every week. Some developer tools like @Cursor, @Zed, and @Kilo Code let you choose between different models, while more opinionated products like @Amp and @Tonkotsu default to 1 model.

Curious what the community recommends for coding tasks? Any preferences?

What happened today shocked me
We added a new politician to Votap Zack Polanski based on user suggestions.
In the first minute:
22 votes
4 comments
and the chart started moving
Watching the feedback live within seconds that was one of those okay, this can be big moments.
We re at 689 users now.
Imagine this when it s 10,000. 100,000. 1 million.
That spike of activity was proof that people care and they re ready to express it.
If you want to be part of it, download Votap.
More tomorrow.

We've objectively tested Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge to determine which offers the best:

Speed,

Standards Compliance,

I used to think the hardest part of building a product was building the product.

Turns out, creating superfans is harder.

The real challenge is getting people to love your product:

First of all, I want to thank you for voting for us in yesterday's launch - you still can, the week is not over. HERE

Second thing, I summarised some things that I realised, reflected on, and maybe should have known sooner:

Hey PH, today we re rolling out Scheduled Automations in BrowserBook. Check out the demo here: https://youtu.be/x6VmagIm1yw?si=...

There are a lot of GEO / AEO tools launching right now.

Most of them simulate prompts and track mentions.

It took longer than it should have, mostly because it kept getting deprioritized in quarterly planning. And the annoying part is: the longer you wait on dark mode, the bigger it gets. More components to adjust, more edge cases, more workflows to test.

So we stopped debating it. No justification, no comparisons. We just shipped it.

Three months ago, @Cursor launched Composer 1, their first coding agent, and they just released a new update, introducing 1.5.

Hey everyone,

I've built my product around traditional SaaS pricing (monthly tiers), but I m starting to wonder if that model is getting outdated, especially with more AI-powered and compute-heavy tools entering the market.
That shift requires real architectural changes, instrumentation, metering, billing logic, and UI changes, not just pricing tweaks. It s something I m starting to seriously think about for my own product.

In particular, AI usage has real COGs (every prompt costs money), and I m seeing more platforms experimenting with usage-based models, or hybrids like SaaS base + usage + overage.

For those of you building AI or compute-intensive tools:

1. Global problem: Dating apps fail for complex lives (illness, relocation, unfulfilled youth). A platform is needed for matching based on life path compatibility.

2. Daily routine: after every client meeting, I need to write a structured report for colleagues. Existing corporate tools (Microsoft 365) are inefficient and slow for this.

3. A startup founder loses focus and productivity juggling 5-7 tools for a single project. Existing all-in-one platforms don't provide the feel of a unified workspace.

4. An African entrepreneur cannot accept international payments on Shopify. PayPal blocks, Stripe is unavailable. There is no payment gateway that does not discriminate based on geography.

5. Micro-influencer cannot monetize a loyal audience: there is no safe and effective platform for deals with small brands and those willing to work with small influencers in India.

It s been a minute since I ve posted here. Over the past few months, we ve been deep in building at Clueso and talking to a lot of Marketers, trainers, Product managers, and solo creators about how they make videos.

The conversation has shifted from speed vs polish to how do we create videos that are clear, thoughtful, and visually solid.

Our team is planning to launch a new version of our product on Product Hunt next week, after a period of optimization and improvements. As we get closer to launch day, I realize there s a lot to prepare, and I m curious about how other teams usually approach this process.

So far, here s what we ve been focusing on:

• Most importantly, making sure the product works well and delivers real value

• Continuous testing to ensure performance and stability

• Designing clean and clear product screenshots

• Preparing a summary of what s been updated, fixed, or optimized

• Writing launch content (tagline, description, first comment, etc.)

• Maintaining good health and a stable mindset for the launch

• Expanding our network and connecting with other makers

This is something I ll find out in just a short while, one week from now (Jan 28), as I m about to re-launch a digital detox app. If you want, follow, maybe you will be on watch of my steps and activities

However, that s not the main point of this post.

I know it isn't just me because I have a number of LCNC friends who, like me, won't even open Stripe before first opening ChatGPT or something similar to guide me through the maze that is Stripe.
Here's me, having just downloaded Claude Cowork, really doubtful that it is going to make any difference with the seven stuck projects I have in Stripe...
