Connect with the Product Hunt community

Let me start from the creator s perspective:
I personally don t have a product (apart from hiring people for creative work or offering personal consultations).

But as a creator, I constantly share content, insights, and information, value that helps me build trust (for free). Based on that perceived expertise, people eventually decide to work with me (a paid service).

Hey makers! Big update for discli the Discord CLI for AI agents.

What's new in v0.7.0
We went from 35 commands to **63 commands** and from 31 serve actions to **54 actions**.

Here's the highlight reel:
Interactive Components: Buttons, select menus (string, user, role, channel pickers), and modal forms. All via the serve JSONL protocol. Your bot can now send a dropdown, collect a form response, or disable a button after it's clicked.
Rich Embeds: Full embed support with color, footer, image, thumbnail, author, and repeatable fields. Both CLI (`--embed-color ff0000 --embed-field "Key::Value::true"`) and serve mode (JSON).
AI Agent: A single Python script (`ai_serve_agent.py`) that wires Claude Agent SDK to discli serve. Claude has full Discord control it runs CLI commands for messages/channels/roles and outputs component blocks for buttons/selects/modals. ~550 lines for an agent that can do literally anything on Discord.
New command groups:
- `discli webhook list/create/delete`
- `discli event list/create/delete` (guild scheduled events)
- `discli member timeout` (modern Discord moderation)
- `discli channel edit/forum-post/set-permissions`
- `discli thread archive/rename/add-member/remove-member`
- `discli role edit`, `discli reaction users`, `discli poll results/end`
7 Claude Code Skills: Install with `npx skills add DevRohit06/discli@discord-bot`. Skills for bot scaffolding, AI agents, moderation, support bots, welcome flows, logging, and slash commands.
Install:
pip install discord-cli-agent
Try the AI agent:
pip install discord-cli-agent claude-agent-sdk
discli config set token YOUR_BOT_TOKEN
python examples/ai_serve_agent.py
Then just @mention your bot:

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.

Shipping AI tools is getting weird.

We tried to release a VSCode extension.

It kept hitting 500 errors. No explanation.

Last month, I did something that felt slightly insane.

I took our product description, fed it into ChatGPT, and asked it to build a competitor. Not a parody. A real competitor. Better features, better positioning, better everything. I told it to be ruthless.

It did!

The output was polished. Confident. Structured like a real go-to-market plan. It named features we don t have. It positioned itself against us. It looked like a threat on paper.

If you re still sitting on your launch, this is the push.

YC made a special exception for this community: one or more companies that launch tomorrow will get a YC interview and potentially funding. A YC partner will review every eligible launch.

I knew there was a gap here when I started building Room Service, but I honestly didn t expect this much interest.

What surprised me is that it s not just a developer problem anymore.

With all the AI tools, game dev workflows, and this whole vibe coding shift, a lot more people are running into the same thing: their Mac fills up, but they don t really know why. That s what I m trying to solve.

There are so many launches on Product Hunt every day. How do you decide which ones are worth clicking into?

What s your #1 filter or shortcut?

TL;DR: Anthropic refused to sign a contract with the Pentagon that would have allowed the U.S. military to use all of its models without restrictions. Anthropic insisted on an exception, and brace yourself, that its models cannot be used: 1) for mass surveillance of citizens, 2) for autonomous killing. Now the administration is threatening that if the founder of Anthropic doesn't change his mind by a certain date, they will come after him.

Google, OpenAI, and Musk (Grok) have all signed the contract.

Following Sam Altman's announcement over the past few hours, people have been speaking out massively about cancelling their OpenAI subscriptions and subscribing to Claude.

I am a Computer Science student doing research into how solopreneurs and small startups create new apps and what their stack looks like. Particularly, I'm interested in how you handle things like authentication, billing, and permissions/authorization in your apps.

Let me know what you're working on below and how you're going about it -- I'd love to connect for some quick calls to learn about your product and talk about your process in building it!

Hey all,

I wrote a forum post not long ago on marketing as one of the rising in importance hires for all startups. This is all the things we've done, with some results and free resources.

When we started building Murror, I made the same mistake most AI founders make: I marketed the technology.

"Powered by AI." "Smart algorithms." "Personalized insights." All the buzzwords. And you know what happened? Crickets.

Last week Garry Tan (CEO of Y Combinator) shared his entire Claude Code setup on GitHub and called it "god mode."

He's sleeping 4 hours a night. Running 10 AI workers across 3 projects simultaneously. And openly saying he rebuilt a startup that once took $10M and 10 people. Alone, with agents.

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

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?

I recently saw a marketer with 10k+ followers launch and finish 6th with 348 upvotes. They followed a proper pre-launch and post-launch plan, did everything right, and still the outcome felt unpredictable.

Now I m launching @Curatora next week.

I m not a marketer. I have a little over 1k followers. Of course, asking for support helps. But I also keep hearing that a large part of the Product Hunt community shows up mainly for their own launch, then goes quiet until the next one.

That makes me wonder: how much of success here is strategy, and how much is timing and network effect?

I've been going through hell for the last month. I was banned from LinkedIn for excessive activity.

• For 24 hours

• For 48 hours

• For 72 hours

• For 168 hours - currently waiting until Tuesday, 10 PM CET.

The only useful advice I've received from support is to be less active.

It may feel like you ve considered everything:
product page, positioning, network support, social media content even day planning.

We thought we did too.

tldr: yes. Shoutouts are one of the simplest distribution levers on Product Hunt.

Shoutouts are meant to pay it forward and highlight the tools that helped you build. But beyond goodwill, they create durable distribution for your product on Product Hunt and across LLM driven discovery.

When you shout out a product during launch, it becomes a founder review on that product s page. Founder reviews sit above regular reviews and include a link to both your profile and your product. That means your product is now attached to every future visit to that product s review page, long after launch day. For example, check out @timliao s shoutout of @Framer or @guymanzur s shoutout of @Base44

Hey everyone,

So we just hit the reviews section on Product Hunt and I'm genuinely curious what you think. If you've actually used ClickSay, we'd love to hear what's working for you and what's not.

According to @RevenueCat 's State of Subscription Apps 2026 report, "hard paywalls convert 5x better than freemium, but with significantly wider variance."

Day 35 download-to-paid, freemium vs. hard paywall

Does access method impact download-to-paid conversion within 35 days?

npm install -g intina47/jot

You probably don't need this.

You have Notion. You have Obsidian. You have approximately forty seven other apps that promised to fix your notes situation.

Hey PH community. Yesterday we launched ClawSecure and landed #2 Product of the Day

ClawSecure is the free security scanner for OpenClaw AI agent skills. But I'm not here to pitch. I just want to share real traffic numbers and what I actually learned from our Product Hunt launch, so it's useful for other makers planning theirs

In a discussion forum with @monatruong_murror , we talked about how AI can help us learn things that aren t naturally familiar to us, like programming.

The biggest challenge was/is:
Getting AI to guide you toward a solution, instead of just giving you the answer.

Product Hunt is best known for its homepage, a daily leaderboard of the most creative and innovative products on the internet. Makers go all out to win launch day, because that visibility matters. Product Hunt also plays a significant role in how products appear in Google search results.

What surprised us was that AI assistants like ChatGPT were rarely citing Product Hunt in product recommendations.
