I built Prodshort because I understood after my previous companies that the hard thing is not to Build but to Sell.
But because I'm a builder, not a seller. I decided to build something that Sells for me.
And Because the trend is Founder Led Marketing, I decided to build something that Create content on your behalf.
But there was a lot of AI tools out there. So I decided to go the opposite way, make it the most authentic possible.
I want you to create content when you are not even aware of it.
And honestly it worked for me. Many people tell me it's amazing but to keep it honest, NO ONE PAYED, and that's the only KPI I'm looking at.
For now, I have feedback about the landing page being too AI generated, and doesn't reflect the quality of our product.
And Builder socially scared from sharing there first content.
Let me know what you think https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

I struggled with content creation. Scripting, memorizing, filming, editing. None of it was enjoyable. Especially when it ate into time I needed to build my product and find customers.
But founder-led marketing and building in public are key to brand, sales, and fundraising. I couldn't skip it.
So I started recording calls and turning them into Reels. It worked incredibly well. I went from not posting at all to one Reel a day. The content is authentic, people love it, and I hit a million views with minimal effort posting stuff I actually enjoy, that aligns with my values.
If you're a builder and you want to create content around your niche, join us. Our mission is to help you do exactly that with minimum effort.
Prodshort helps you record calls and transform them into Reels easily. And with the community, we do calls together, improve our workflows, and support each other.
@bengeekly How well does Prodshort handle pulling key highlights from longer sales calls (like 45+ mins) to make snappy Reels without losing the genuine vibe?
ProdShort
@swati_paliwal Honestly, not perfect, but good enough I would rate it 7/10 and we will make it better everyday. The thing is 7/10 is already enough to post daily if you do one call a day!
@bengeekly Hi! How does it handle meetings with heavy accents or people talking over each other? Still turns into clean shorts without extra fixes?
ProdShort
@julia_zakharova2 It happens that I am Moroccan, during our calls we literally speak English, Arabic, French and Spanish in the same sentence. And to be honest all transcription tools we tried struggles with generating the right content. But the impact is mainly giving wrong captions, and we are pushing some fixes for next weeks.
The rest of the short is Ok, and I believe that it's exactly what we need to make social media more human
I always think “this could be a post” while talking to someone… then forget about it 10 minutes later.
Does it suggest clips by itself or you choose them?
ProdShort
@alina_anitei That's exactly why we built it. Sometimes when Prodshort is not in the call and a moment like that happens, we add it, and redo the moment. It suggest clips by analyzing what is said, but we also made it simple to rewatch fast X2.5 and choose the best moments at once if you need a human in the loop.
ProdShort
@alina_anitei so many good moments just disappear after the call 😅
Yes, Prodshort suggests clips automatically, so you don’t have to review everything yourself. You can still adjust or pick your own if you want more control.
a hitting a million views by just recording stuff you actually enjoy is the dream. we spend way too much time on production and not enough on the actual product. how long does the 'transformation' into reels usually take with prodshort? @ProdShort @amraniyasser @bengeekly
ProdShort
@amraniyasser @vikramp7470 The million views is not guaranteed yet, but we got 50k views in new accounts, and soon including some viral hacks to grow faster :)The reels are ready in less than 5mins after the call ends.
@amraniyasser @bengeekly
appreciate the transparency and that's a total game changer. All the best
ProdShort
@amraniyasser @vikramp7470 Thank you
ProdShort
@vikramp7470 production eats way too much time that should go into building 😅
With Prodshort, the transformation usually takes less than 5 minutes, so you can go from call to ready-to-post reel really fast.
Much needed and useful! But since meetings can be sensitive, how are you handling privacy, consent, and data storage etc?
ProdShort
@lak7It should be treated as a note taker and is visible in the call from everyone. Then the content is not shared, we just create it for you and suggest it. You still need to check it and post it yourself.
Of course from our side, we prompt in a way that will suggest content that respect your privacy.

Guys, congrats on your launch! I like the idea! Do you install it once or need to set it up before every call?
ProdShort
@kate_ramakaieva Thank you, there is 3 options: Connect your Calendar (Google), Schedule a call by giving the Meeting link, or Join name also with the meeting link.
FuseBase
@bengeekly thanks, will try it out and consider it as a sign to be more active on socials!
ProdShort
@kate_ramakaieva Woow, I will be honored if you see that as a sign.
It's one of the pain point we don't know how to solve yet. People don't step and start posting. I recommended to some friends to just start recording the calls, even if they don't post them. I also asked some friends if I can post and just tag them as a start.
Creating content is only the first step.
How active are you in SM ?
Crossnode
huge congratulations on the launch! I genuinely love the content it created for us at Crossnode. It’s been incredibly impressive to see the quality!!! I had a quick question as I continue exploring its capabilities. Would it be possible to turn it on without being in a meeting, so it can record my interactions independently? Specifically, I’m interested in capturing both my screen activity and what I’m saying, even outside of a live meeting setting :))
ProdShort
@rania_rimali Stay tuned for what is coming! The next step is not to do a call alone, but Prodshort will be able to interview you! He will ask you questions that will help you generate content and interact with you!
But If you need a human, you will always find people ready to do calls with you in the community group.
curious what the edit step looks like - does it give you one output per meeting or multiple angle cuts? wondering how much manual curation you still need before it's actually postable.
ProdShort
@mykola_kondratiuk 5 mins after the end of the call. You have 5 AI suggestions. They are ready to post. But you can change the title, captions...
We also have a simple timeline if you really want to be picky, you watch the video with a higher speed, and select the moment you want. The videos and text post are generated automatically following this step too
5 mins is the sweet spot - still in the headspace of the call, editing an AI draft takes way less energy than starting cold.
