"I just watched seven AI experts argue about my blog post for 3 minutes straight."

Marketing guy said it was too technical. Accessibility auditor flagged the contrast. Editor caught a logic hole I missed.

AI is everywhere right now - from copilots and chat assistants to analytics, research, and planning tools. But beyond the hype, I m curious about what s truly useful in day-to-day product work.

From a PM or founder perspective:

• Where has AI genuinely saved you time?

• What tasks do you trust AI with - and what do you never delegate?

• Has AI changed how you write specs, manage roadmaps, or talk to users?

• What AI use cases sounded great in theory but failed in practice?

Personally, I see a lot of potential, but also a lot of noise. I believe that in the future, AI should help us much more. Create good roadmaps, convert product specs into concrete tasks, prioritise them, assign people, push for realisation, and much more.

Yesterday went through this Tweet by Greg Isenberg.

There is an app called "rent a human."

There are tons of great coding agent CLIs and IDEs out there. Which do you use on a regular basis? What stands out as being the killer feature?

I ve been experimenting with a CLI workflow that removes the most annoying part of AI-assisted dev:
re-explaining context every single time.

Instead of prompts like:

Integrate Stripe payment gateway with X, Y, Z

I just run:

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.

News in the tech world gets old quickly. It's no longer relevant in 10 minutes.

What helps you quickly navigate the world of AI?

I caught the latest news about AI from:

We re usually very good at creating to-do lists for work.
But what about everything outside of work?

I ve started turning my personal habits into a checklist to build discipline and make these habits non-negotiable over time.

Here s mine:

All of us want customers on our platforms. However, a sign-up is very different from an engaged user who keeps returning and finding value over time.

Creating the right user experience, without being too intrusive, spammy, or in your face , can significantly improve engagement, increase conversions, and reduce churn. In my experience, a platform s success is defined far more by its active users than by the total number of people who have ever signed up.

Below are a few approaches I ve seen work well, along with some that haven t been as effective.

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:

Building my app with AI tools, zero coding background. The magic part - I can ship features in hours. The scary part - I have no idea if the code is actually good.

Right now my "QA process" is:

- Does it work when I tap around?

- Did anything break that worked before?

We re getting ready for our second Product Hunt launch on Jan 31, and a post by @busmark_w_nika got me thinking.

What to do (that we didn't do the first time):

• Plan your launch. What does it mean?

  • Write down everything you need to do before you launch.

  • Cleaning your copy

  • Your product images

  • Your product video (demo under 60 seconds if you can)

  • For our first launch, we didn't do anything. Even though we got 2nd Product of the Day, I would not recommend others to leave it to their luck. Plan and maximize your chances of success.

• Keep it simple, stupid.

  • Don't overcomplicate your page with lots of marketing language.

  • Simplicity, clean product screenshots, and clear language.

  • I think this is the single most important thing to take into account when launching, and why we probably did so well on our first launch.

    • Ask yourself: Does the tagline make sense? Will others understand what the product does and what it is in under 10 seconds?

    • For us at @Pretty Prompt: Grammarly for prompting. (Grammarly = it is an extension.) Improve prompts in one click. (super clear what it does).

    • You can straight away visualise how you might use the product and what it will do for you.

• Focus on your strengths.

  • Don't give everything you got in one go.

  • Earn the right for people to read and scroll down. Read and scroll down.

  • Save some stuff for your pinned post.

  • People have a short attention span.

  • Hook people on your most important feature, showcase it front and centre, don't give me everything together cos I'll forget, and also I'll get lost.

  • For us at @Pretty Prompt: Improve your prompts in one click. Works inside ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Lovable, and more.

  • Even though you have about 10 other features on Pretty Prompt, we don't talk about them right in the beginning; we just feature that one "killer feature" and let users dive deeper afterwards.

• Product assets = show, don't tell.

  • Your images and video should be about your product.

  • Don't make it marketing-heavy. Make it product-heavy.

  • Show me what the product does, don't tell me about it.

  • For us: 60-second demo video actually using the tool. Screenshots of the top features (Improve - Refine - Save - History). Not fancy Figma designs, I mean screenshots of the actual product.

  • If you get big like Notion, Cursor, Claude, etc. you may also be able to add a more human video of you talking about the product, or new functionality, your story, etc. But for the majority, just show your product, and let the product win.

• Learn from others.

  • Though no two products or launches are the same, you can learn from others and pick the best things that fit your own product.

  • Checkout this post by @fmerian on "The Cursor Way to Launch". Great tips.

• Warm up the Audience.

  • Don't just rely on your followers.

  • Use as many channels as possible to maximise the reach and get people excited about your launch, even before you launch.

  • If you do this step well, the launch is just 50% of the job, and you're already a step ahead of most.

  • For us: I did a community post, Substack one, LinkedIn one, Slack one. We'll be recording a founder video too. I want it to be as human as possible; people buy into people.

I came to exactly the same conclusion that real startup ideas often come from simple and boring problems. From my own experience: I spent three years on a startup that was supposed to revolutionize online education, but in the end it had 0 users. Now I ve just started solving a simple problem for home appliance repair technicians and immediately got my first paying users on a very rough MVP.

Today marks my 1 0 0 0 day streak in on product hunt - wow does time fly

The last 2.7 years have been insane From discovering awesome products (built by SF legends) to actually launching 2 products myself and winning 2x product of the month awards a golden kitty with @Clustr and now being nominated for an orbit award with @Trace feels unreal. Not only did my team go through the ups and downs, but we persevered and survived two top tier accelerators with @500 Startups & @Y Combinator - gotta catch them all

Since the AI era started booming, everything has been changing incredibly fast and it requires us to adapt just as quickly. AI is now part of both our work and daily lives. It slowly seeps into everything, and over time, it can even reduce how much we think and decide for ourselves.
Of course, I won t deny the huge benefits AI brings.

But the more I saw how easily we can get carried away by it, the more I felt the need to slow down to step back and look at the bigger picture.

After spending time working with AI, I realized a few important things:

I know this topic has been here a million times (and people will still ask me a few more times after that).

I personally see advantages in both cases, but maybe one more advantage when it comes to launching during the week.

Very briefly:

I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

As an SAP ABAP Developer, I had app ideas sitting in my head for years. Before AI, the learning curve for mobile development felt impossibly steep. Now? I shipped my iOS app in weeks.

But here's my honest question:

How many of us vibe coders are actually building sustainable products?

Hey Product Hunt!
I'm a designer who built my first app using just AI no coding background.
SelfOS is a modular productivity tool where you enable only what you need:
Daily tasks with subtasks
Long-term goals
Habit tracking
Shopping lists
Just launched on Google Play and App Store a week ago.
Would love your feedback what features would make it more useful?

Google Play https://play.google.com/store/ap...

On Product Hunt, I can see many people launching their products using "vibe-coding tools" like @Lovable , @bolt.new , or@Replit

I reckon many people who created something with them are usually developers who didn't have enough time for building a side idea before, but with AI, they could make it happen.
