Happy Hump Day! Today, I’m covering a new launch from Loom built to help you go from idea to shipped much faster. But first…

Do you ever discover a product and say, “Damn, I wish I found this yesterday?”
Well, that’s kind of how I’m feeling after coming across Loom’s latest launch on the Product Hunt homepage today. If you don’t know Loom, it’s a tool to quickly record and share your screen to showcase things like a product demo, flag a bug, or even make a sales pitch.
Like a lot of companies, Loom is wasting no time building out some AI features, and the company launched its most recent offering today: Loom AI Workflows.
Say you’ve stumbled on a bug. The usual process is documenting what the bug does, screenshotting the error, and filing a Jira ticket, all of which takes time. Now instead of that, you can boot up Loom, install the Jira integration, record a video, and in one click, generate a super detailed Jira ticket — ready for an engineer to tackle.
If you’re like me, you might hate the blank page. Especially when writing up a project, what I find easier is vocalizing my concept. For example, I wanted to pitch a new content series this morning. Instead of writing up a document, I recorded a Loom with my thoughts and plan of action and hit the “write a document” button, and voila! A project document ready to be pitched (with some minor tweaks, of course).
The goal, according to the team, is to ultimately help product and engineering teams go from idea to shipped much faster by removing a lot of the time spent dealing with things like bug reports, ideation, and document creation.

Slack gets shoutout out on Product Hunt not only for helping teams collaborate, but for its API too.
The makers of Casc shouted out using the API for their app that lets you access knowledge from your documents across platforms. i.e. No need to force everyone to use the same tools. Just use Slack or Teams to pull from Notion, Google Docs, OneDrive, etc.
On Slack’s API, they said “We love Slack and its granular and meticulous API interface that allowed us to interface Casc with all the features we had in mind and many more coming soon!”
Product videos are hard to make, and making yours stand out among a sea of them is even harder. One way is to make them more dynamic by adding animations, effects, and even making them somewhat 3D. That’s what Talevideo does. Record your video, upload it and in one click you can turn it into a 3D masterpiece.
