1. A 3-year search for a simple tool to track both personal and business finances in one place. Nothing fits.

2. Website owners constantly need minor edits in the admin panel. They are forced to pay specialists for 5-minute tasks. We need an AI agent that does this on command in the browser.

3. An indie hacker spends 20-30 hours manually cold launching each new product in directories, Reddit, and blogs. There is no tool that fully automates this and proves its effectiveness.

4. A freelancer often loses in proposal competitions due to the inability to quickly create personalized and visual website concepts for each job order.

5. A Telegram channel owner is losing their audience without understanding the reasons for unsubscriptions. There is no simple tool for automatically collecting feedback from departed subscribers.

Have been a ghost member for a while. But I want to be more active on PH and offer my help any way I can. Got any ideas or advice on how to make the most of PH for me?

Meow world, welcome back to The Breakpoint, a weekly thread on all things dev tools on Product Hunt.

Over the past month, I've been scrolling through several LinkedIn profiles and noticed how some people have long portfolios of businesses that say:

Hey Jay!

Jay from Shadow here.

Shadow already knows when your meeting starts and ends.

Hey @ElevenLabs! The voice quality is miles ahead of anything else we've tried. Huge fan of what you guys are building! We re actually using it in our internal tool to generate audio summaries of specific Spotify topics. It works like magic, but we ve noticed one tiny hiccup: the audio occasionally fades out or loses volume mid-sentence. Has anyone else experienced this, or is there a specific API parameter we should look into to keep it consistent? Keep up the great work, looking forward to seeing where you take the product next!

Hey! I'm building a free Chrome extension that helps you track prices, try on clothes virtually, and find colors that actually suit you. Looking for a few people to test it and tell me what sucks / what's good. Anyone down to help?

Im struggling right now with getting users and i just wanna know if this is any good outside my bubble of nice friends. Would really help me out!

I spend most of my time on these two things:
1) observing products on the main page and upvoting/commenting on them

2) talking with people within comments under my forums

The second one is the one where I notice some things that I lack and see possible improvements, namely:

Many products are hard to explain in one sentence especially to their own founders

You live with the idea every day.

You know the problem deeply.

So I've been a solo founder for almost 3 years, first two years was a b2b company and a lot of sales, meetings and "people to people work".

This year its been a lot more me and my computer when starting a tech/ai company. which have really tested me and my sanity...

I kept losing time rewriting prompts. Every time I switched from ChatGPT to Claude to Gimini, I had to mentally adjust my prompt format. And voice-to-AI? Forget it my rambling needed serious editing before any LLM could understand me.

So I built Oshn Prompt a menu bar app that sits quietly until you need it.

How it works:

• Select any text anywhere press Cmd+Shift+I get an optimized prompt instantly

• Or press Cmd+Shift+U to speak your idea Whisper transcribes, AI polishes

I keep going back and forth on this, so I m curious how others think about it.

At what point do you start taking non-English markets seriously?

• only after you feel solid PMF in English?

• when inbound users from certain regions show up?

• by picking one market early (Japan, LatAm, etc.) and committing?

• or do you just keep pushing it off to stay focused?

If your launch does not go as planned, do not judge it too quickly.
Avoid the instinct to immediately add more features or pivot the product.

Instead, pause and evaluate what already exists.
Check whether the core features are clearly communicated, fully polished, and genuinely solve the intended problem.
Often, the issue is not the idea, but the execution, positioning, or user experience.

Refine what you have. Improve clarity, usability, onboarding, and messaging.
Then relaunch with focus and confidence.

Many products fail not because they were wrong, but because they were unfinished, unclear, or rushed.

Hey makers!
I've been deep in prompt engineering lately while building an AI tool, and I'm genuinely curious about how others approach this.
A few questions:
1. Do you save your best prompts somewhere? Notion, text files, dedicated app, or just copy-paste from chat history?
2. How do you iterate? Do you have a systematic approach or just tweak until it works?
3. Different prompts for different models? Or do you use the same prompt for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini?
4. Text vs image prompts do you treat them completely differently?
I've noticed I was doing the same optimizations over and over (adding role, being more specific, structuring output format), which made me wonder if everyone has their own "prompt formula."
Would love to hear your workflows!

Lately, I have been experimenting with how to feed context into GPT models more effectively.

For example, when fine-tuning or working with larger context windows, I have noticed that the dilemma is in organizing the surrounding information, rather than the prompt itself. Last week, I came to know that it's called Context Engineering.

I don't know about you, but I feel like I've been working non-stop for years now, and I don't know how I'm able to do it. And it's often because I include activities in my daily life that make my work more enjoyable or break up the monotony.

For example:

I exercise every day (and listen to video casts about tech, business, and marketing in the background)

With over 8 years of experience in data analysis and product management, I've journeyed from scaling products for established companies to founding my own. Today, I'm the solo founder of Oshn.ai.

My mission is simple: to give people back their most valuable resource time. I believe the future lies in autonomous systems where AI agents handle routine tasks, freeing up human potential for creativity and strategy.

I'm not just building apps; I'm building a new model for creating a business.
As an "AI Conductor," I manage systems of AI agents to rapidly launch and validate ideas. My first product, the personalized meditation app Oshn Meditation, was built and launched in just 1.5 months, proving this model works.

It's incredible that AI can now replicate the work of entire companies. But as a solo founder, I feel the importance of human connection and feedback more than ever. I'm hoping to meet like-minded people, find exciting collaborations, and hear your thoughts.
