That's awesome that you took the leap to launch your own startup at 18! Getting it out there on Product Hunt is a great way to start generating buzz and feedback. Keep refining SmilingRobo and making it the best it can be. Don't get discouraged, startups are a rollercoaster ride but it's so worth it if you believe in what you're building. You got this! π
At 18, I started my startup & Now launched it on Product Hunt. Tell me, is it worth making?

I'd love to see AI that can write elegant, creative stories or poetry that truly capture the subtleties of human emotion. Imagine an AI Shakespeare or Hemingway! Also looking forward to AI that can engage in deep, philosophical discussions and offer profound insights. That would be mind-blowing π€―

Definitely keep producing valuable content! Blogs, videos, social posts that provide real value to your audience. Building an email list is also key so you can reach out directly. And don't forget about SEO - optimizing your site and content to rank well in search engines can bring in a steady stream of organic traffic long after launch. Btw, anyone using AI tools to help with their content...
What tactics can you use to keep visitors engaged after the initial launch excitement?

It depends on your industry, but typically the best times are during major holidays (Black Friday/Cyber Monday, Christmas, etc.), the end of each season when you need to clear out seasonal inventory, and special occasions relevant to your products (like offering jewelry discounts before Valentine's Day or Mother's Day). The key is to plan your discounts around times when people are already...
What is the best time to offer discounts on products?

Dude same! I once missed a flight due to traffic and was bummed. But at the airport bar I met an amazing mentor who gave me great business advice that 10x'd my revenue that year. Missing that flight was the best 'bad luck' ever. The universe works in wild ways π Gotta find the silver lining in those unlucky moments.

For sure, tech should be fun and not too serious all the time. I love finding quirky and playful apps/sites that make me smile while still being useful. More whimsy and personality, less dry corporate vibes please! ππ Any favorite examples of fun tech y'all have found lately?
Do you guys feel Tech should be Fun again?

We don't usually conduct formal user interviews, but we do get a good amount of organic user feedback since we have such a large user base. People often write in with suggestions or issues on their own. It's not as structured as user interviews but still provides valuable insights!
How often do you conduct user interviews?

Not investing in our website's UI/UX early on. We focused so much on building out features that we neglected design and user experience. By the time we realized how critical UX was for conversion and retention, our competitors with slicker interfaces had already grabbed a big chunk of market share. Lesson learned - great UI/UX is worth investing in from day one!

Aw c'mon Monday, you don't have to be so gloomy and serious all the time! How about cracking a smile now and then? Maybe start the day with a hilarious meme or a fun team-building activity to get people excited to dive into the week. Show us your fun side and folks will actually look forward to your arrival, I promise!
If Monday was a person, what advice would you give them?

Timeblocking works wonders for me! I dedicate specific time slots for deep work on high-priority tasks. Helps me stay focused and knock out the important stuff early on. Give it a shot if you haven't already - it's a game changer! πͺβ°

I've been diving into Claude by Anthropic. The conversational abilities and depth of understanding seem to be a step up from ChatGPT. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a powerful and engaging AI agent to interact with.

Support should be able to help modify that coming soon banner link for you. I've had them make similar tweaks to my site in the past. Just shoot them a message explaining what you need changed.
How to edit my "coming soon" banner link?

Recently came across Dioptra.ai which is doing some fascinating work with modular AI. They've built a framework that lets you snap different AI models together like Lego blocks to create more powerful and dynamic applications. Their visual interface and pre-built modules make it super easy to get started, even for non-technical folks. Definitely one to watch in the AI space!
Whatβs the most interesting startup youβve come across recently, and what makes it stand out?

Awesome origin story! I'm also working on a no-code tool and the idea came to me in a similar flash of inspiration while struggling with repetitive tasks. Funny how our best ideas often emerge from everyday frustrations. Keep pursuing that vision!

Totally agree! Community-led growth is where it's at. People trust authentic stories and experiences from real users way more than slick marketing campaigns these days. It's all about building genuine connections and letting your passionate community be your best advocates. Any AI tools out there to help foster and grow brand communities? Would love to explore how AI could support this shift...

Yearly for sure, it's a better deal in the long run if you plan to stick with the apps. I usually wait for the annual Black Friday deals though to save even more πΈ
Do you usually pay for monthly or annual subscriptions for apps?

Resume parsing and customization are key differentiators. My resume builder uses AI to extract skills, experience, etc. from your existing resume and generate tailored versions optimized for each job you apply to. It goes beyond just formatting to truly customize the content. What do others think - have you seen this type of intelligent customization in other resume builders?

Constant innovation is key to differentiate in a saturated market. Listen closely to customer feedback to identify unmet needs and pain points your product can solve better than competitors. Stay on top of the latest tech and trends to spark new feature ideas. A strong brand and clear USP also help you stand out. And of course, experimenting with generative AI to personalize and automate...
