🚀 PoliteAI is evolving: A Smarter Alternative to Slack
Hey Product Hunt ,
We started PoliteAI as an AI Hub for teams, giving access to GPT, Claude, Gemini, and more. But teams weren t just chatting with AI, they were collaborating.
So we re making a bold shift.
I’m preparing to launch a product that will compete with Slack and other collaboration tools.
Hi there ,
I am getting ready to launch a product that lets people chat in groups and focuses on work and workspace collaboration.
Like Slack and Discord, the pre-preview version will not have all the features they do. For now, it will only have text chat.
The difference is that it costs less and makes the most of AI's presence and support in the workflow.
I m a fan of Slack, but honestly, its pricing is a barrier for me, and I believe it s the same for any team.
I know it s not something new, but is this a good idea, and does the community also care about it and want to see it?
What’s been the trickiest part of getting AI to work reliably in production for you?
I am just curious about the real work, not the flashy demo stuff.
To be honest, it has not been about picking the right model for us; they are all great in their own way. It has been everything about the model:
Managing auth and region-specific routing (US vs EU)
Keeping user context in sync across Redis, Postgres, file storage
Dealing with random failures that only happen in production, never in dev
Making sure nothing breaks when we swap one model out for another
Some days it feels like we re duct-taping 10 systems together just to answer one user request cleanly.
