I needed it, it was a pain for me at first. This doesn't mean my products are success stories of course. But it's a start.

There was a time when everyone couldn't afford a good camera and professional equipment to take high-quality photos so I've built an AI tool that not only improves photo quality but also highlights each detail of photos, making them sharper and crispier.

Paradigm - We're a remote team of gen AI engineers working on AI projects.

How it started: Me and my co-founders started to work on a Gen AI product and we recruited a few AI/ML engineers. Before we knew it, we received some great startup gen AI projects.

That's how we came up with the idea that we could actually build a remote gen AI team to work with startups and enterprises.

I also needed my product, a chatbot named Llanai https://www.producthunt.com/prod... I learn languages as a hobby, but also use them professionally for writing and/or interfacing with customers -- I always lacked a platform to practice my conversational skills or improve my pronunciation. Also noted similar struggles in other language exchange apps, such as HelloTalk.

Michael Shver · Answer

I've been a soccer fan and player for a long time, and I've come to understand the many struggles that team managers and team owners face with all the processes required to bring their players to success.

So I've decided to create an app that will be an affordable option for team management tasks, allowing soccer enthusiasts to communicate with each other, share tips, strategies and achievements. It will also create new opportunities, such as assisting in finding sponsors to alleviate financial struggles and foster growth.

We started off trying to tackle the BIG problem of trying to reduce administrative burden in health care. We did a lot of interviews and some demos combining speech to text with AI to speed up admin tasks. Unfortunately there were too many barriers there, so we decided to focus on similar problems in more accessible markets first. One of them is sales people and founders who need to document customer talks in the CRM. We are launching that one today (https://www.producthunt.com/post...)!

Hey Maurizio , to be honest came up with the idea from my ownb personal pain point! 😅

Answer

When I was struggling to keep myself organized in school. I would routinely forget online readings and scramble to make up answers on a skim. Also, when i realized my phone had 130 open tabs and my clutter was unreal!

Bob WIlsey · Answer

After working closely with a lot of business owners(restraunts, stores etc) in my area, we identified this missing part- the need for promotions and redemptions for everyday customers. We launched Retexts today!(https://www.producthunt.com/post...)

Abdellah · Answer

I remember we had many meetings where we brainstormed ideas, we decided to choose the prefix of our design Devinweb agency (founded in 2012). We decided to use the prefix 'Devin' to symbolize guidance or care or fate. Then, we added the second part 'Stock' to signify resource management within the enterprise.

So, we came up with the name Devinstock.
