oghunt - Discover real products, no AI slop

oghunt is now using google gemini to validate every product launch of the day to ensure there is ZERO AI slop. Also view the top 3 non-ai launches of the day! Lots of work went into this release so please share any feedback you might have.

Like the idea, I think the PH team would appreciate this. What is the accuracy of filtering AI slop out?
I feel that it filtered out everything where the word "AI" is mentioned. 😀

@busmark_w_nika We use AI to filter out AI 🤖

@maxdemaio did you not work on this too?

Max DeMaio

@typesafeui surely not

Kyle Anne

THANK YOU OMG

I was actually joking on Bluesky a few weeks back about making an extension to do this exact thing

Sean Boult

@kyle_anne Thanks for your support! it really is needed cause almost every product uses ai in some way and you lose sight of really innovative things.

Kyle Anne

@hacksore Totally agree

Andrew Jameson

Finally! A way to browse Product Hunt without AI spam. 🎉 How does it filter out the AI-generated stuff though? 🤔

@andrew_jameson111 Gemini is fighting the slop 🫡

Launching soon!

Super cool concept. How are you defining “AI slop” though? Is it based on keywords or behavior patterns?

Sean Boult

@hamza_afzal_butt right now it's all done via this prompt, im open to suggestions tho.

Using Gemini to filter out low-effort AI launches is a smart move — makes the feed way more valuable and focused. And the non-AI top picks are a great touch too. Appreciate the effort you’re putting into keeping quality high!

Zac Zuo

I have a collection called "Not AI at all" and it should definitely be on the list :)

Welcome to the new arms race. AI fighting AI. @hacksore how many launches that are featured here would your AI filter out?
Oscar Alfonso Guerrero

Fantastic Idea! Could you please add a RSS feed? It would be extremely valuable for users of feed readers like me. Thank you.

Sean Boult

@poncho_guerrero Good idea, if you are willing to contribute a PR is much welcomed.

I guess we can rest assured that AI didn't write the video script?

Wow, digging in, this is really bad.

Just because a product uses AI doesn't make it "slop".

Very misleading. These are not "slop":

Sean Boult

@chrismessina are you actually mad about this?

Absolutely! Here’s a friendly and enthusiastic Product Hunt comment reply for OGHunt:

Love the idea behind OGHunt! 🙌 Finally, a way to discover fresh products on Product Hunt without all the AI clutter taking over the feed. The open-source and free-range approach is awesome—makes the experience feel much more authentic. Can’t wait to explore new gems and see how the community shapes this project! 🚀✨ Great work!

What if the AI slop isn't core to much of the product but has become table stakes for the industry / to compete - as we still considered slop?

Dhruv Bhatia

What qualifies as AI Slop though? Genuinely curious as I'm building AI products.

I believe AI products do have a lot of value even if it's just the UX that is being optimized with AI (copilots etc.)

P.S: If you're using AI for your own product, aren't you being a hypocrite?

Tom

@dhruv_bhatia Yeah this was my thought. What is the "Slop" line that delineates something of quality vs something terrible.

Is there some reason AI built tools can't be quality? If it solves a problem for someone and they find it useful, is it still slop because Claude wrote the code?

Tom

Using AI to filter out AI? Most users here can distinguish quality content themselves. Not all AI tools produce slop, so how would those be filtered? The site is well-designed and seems helpful, so well done!


That said, nearly all platforms use AI at some level. Top-notch platforms aren't "vibe coded," but that doesn't mean engineers aren't using tools like Cursor to autocomplete significant portions of their work.

AI is part of our world now. Calling everything built with AI "slop" just hits me wrong, but thats me.

Ahmed Al-Baz

can you create a chrome extension when you click on homepage the new curated products appear

Emma Burrows

Curious to test this out on our launch next week and see whether it considers us AI slop or not (we most definitely aren't!) -- i'll let you know!
