This weekend Iâm refining a platform weâre building for businesses to launch their own assistant â not just a chatbot, but something that books appointments, sends reminders, and answers real questions.
We handle all the technical setup (WhatsApp, workflows, database), and the client just gets a ready-to-use panel where they can manage everything.
Still figuring out how to balance flexibility with simplicity â but itâs getting closer every week.
Happy to check out what others are building too đ

@lautaro_nievas Sounds cool! Who are your typical users? I could imagine something like this being pretty helpful for small businesses and non-tech folks. Kind of a plug and play solution.
@jakecrump Exactly my friend! It's focused on small and medium-sized businesses. The idea is to sell automations like an agency, but with a CRM style to give it more value and something tangible, so they can see how it works (if they want). They can view website and WhatsApp chats from the same place and, at the same time, test the chat's inner workings.
P.S.: I'm thinking about adding an internal agent to whom they can add information about their business to simplify processes or questions about chats (how many appointments were scheduled, the most common time or day, etc)
Product Hunt
@lautaro_nievas Very cool! I like the internal agent idea. I feel like context is king when it comes to making AI agents/chatbots work well. Definitely makes sense to be able to upload that info internally to improve user facing chats.
@lautaro_nievas this sounds solid. Handling all the tech stuff so clients get a ready panel is smart. Finding that balance between flexibility and simplicity is always tough but sounds like youâre on the right track. Curious how youâre managing WhatsApp workflows and keeping it smooth for users. Keep pushing, itâs getting closer every week!

@harvanshchaudhary Oh I love this. Maybe I can paste a github repo url and get a lineup?
@mikekerzhner damn thatâs actually a banger idea⊠Repo URL in, mugshots out. Someone also suggested pulling data from X but their API pricing be wild rn
@harvanshchaudhary Link doesn't work :-( But sounds super fun
Prototypr
@harvanshchaudhary fun and weird is the way to go
Prototypr
@harvanshchaudhary yeah, everythgn is related, and all the pieces come together into something bigger too
Prototypr
@harvanshchaudhary haha I mean you can reuse any part of it, if it doesn't go anywhere beyond a bit of fun, you still have all the API stuff to reuse for anything, so why not
I want to stitch together Suno, Gmail, and Zapier to make an automation that sings me my unread emails every morning.
Product Hunt
@steveb Hahaha, please build this!
@steveb That sounds pretty cool. Getting emails sung to you feels like a way better wake-up call. Canât wait to see how it turns out! Do share when u are done with it.

I'm going to resurrect an older project this weekend. It's a minimalistic daily journaling app that lives in the mac menu bar. It's more focused on brain dump / stream of consciousness writing over structured writing.
I'm planning on using Electron which I've never seriously set down and used before. We'll see how it goes!
Product Hunt
@jakecrump Very cool! I use Apple Notes for this at the moment. But, you know, Apple Notes is... special.
A simple chrome extension that allows me to store message templates for LinkedIn and X. It also allows personalization with first name.
This idea came up when I received 500+ birthday wishes across social platforms and couldn't manually respond to each.
Product Hunt
@rohanrecommends Cool idea! So kind of like quick snippets with some personalization options. Any other platforms you're planning to include? I'd assume adding other platforms means adding in the ability to automatically pull in user data from there right?
@jakecrump yes! Most messages are repetitive. Example, every time someone sends me an invite to connect on LinkedIn, I ask, how did they discover my profile or if there's a reason they reached out.
Currently, it supports LinkedIn and X. I plan to include Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, Reddit, Facebook and Instagram in the near future. Or maybe AI functionality to auto-generate some obvious replies :)
Product Hunt
I've been itching to experiment building something with Apple's HealthKit. Been really into health data lately! Are you working on anything?
Product Hunt
@gabe Oh interesting! I can tell you a request I have haha. I'd love a rucking (weighted walking) workout tracker for my apple watch. The built in workouts don't have that particular workout included so I just use hiking. But it's pretty inaccurate because it's not factoring in or tracking the weight I'm carrying.
Iâm updating my app Kilowatt to include a new Garage feature that will allow people to add custom car models next to the library of existing models in the app. With so many new car models coming out itâs nigh impossible to keep up so this will offer people a way to add models that are less popular and not in the app yet. Also I just launched Flexible a fitness app aimed at doing your rehab exercises consistently, I really need to work on some marketing for that one though. It hasnât even been hunted yet đ
Product Hunt
@_tijs My wife and I have actually been talking a good bit about switching over to an electric car for our next vehicle. I'll have to remember Kilowatt! Seems super useful. For the new models that users are adding, are you planning on tracking what the most commonly added ones are to include by default? I can imagine that is a lot to keep up with given how many are coming out!
Also, I'm terrible about remembering to stretch before or after workouts. I really like the red panda mascot for Flexible. I'll have to try it out! And you should totally hunt it!
@jakecrump i want to eventually move away from offering the library, as you said it's getting harder and harder to keep up. I think if i help the user identify the right values they can get quite far in adding enough detail to get an accurate charging estimate without needing presets. This will also make it more flexible when adding an older model which might have less range now then when it came out for instance. As the apps that come with your car get better the niche for my app will be customization and things like cost calculation. It seems to already be more attractive to spreadsheet nerd types then average car owners so i think i can lean into that.
And yeah for Flexible i think i'll end up hunting it myself although i guess it's still better if someone else adds it. Thanks for the positive note!
Product Hunt
@_tijs Yeah I think leaning into the customization and cost calculation is a smart move. Good on you for understanding who it appeals to and leaning into that. And I think aiming for approximation over trying to get super accurate for every type of model makes sense. Like you said, even age of the car or something like mileage could affect that. I imagine most people are looking to just get a close approximation.
For hunting Flexible, it's totally fine to hunt it yourself. It really doesn't change anything if it's hunted by you or someone else in terms of it getting on the homepage.

@aswin9 This sounds very fun! Looking forward to it launching!
I launched my side project yesterday called DeepRankAI its a free AI Content humanization tool that turns your AI generated content into human like writing in one click.
Product Hunt
@gerome24 Very cool and congrats on launching! What was the process like for building the AI detection? That feels like a tough problem a lot of people are trying to crack.
@jakecrump This is undoubtedly a highly complex problem, and I am still in the process of completing it. However, the humanization tool is already finished and successfully bypasses all AI detection systems and tools. The most challenging aspect of developing the AI detector has been sourcing genuine human-written content to fine-tune the LLM for accurate detection results.
Product Hunt
@gerome24 That's interesting! Is there a particular kind of human-written content you aim for? I'd imagine not all styles would work well.
@jakecrump Its basically made to convert the content the user pastes into the text area and wants humanized there is multiple different styles and most work pretty well but the default option works best
Purposeful Poop
I've been (slowly) working on a notifications system for my side project!
this weekend I hope to finish the v1, which should allow users to "no-code" their own notifications based on different triggers that happen in the app!
Prototypr
@catt_marroll is your sideproject the notification system itself?
Product Hunt
@catt_marroll Ooh, I love the idea of getting to set up your own triggers for notifications.
Continuing to work on my video conferencing application (to start with : ) )
It was really annoying to sometimes get dropped after 40/60 minute mark while having an important discussion. Thought I build one for myself, Convonet Going well so far. Have to work on some additional features and a refactored back-end.
Product Hunt
@umarfrq Interesting! If you're building a video conferencing app, I bet @rajiv_ayyangar has some advice!
Thanks @jakecrump . Do try when you get the opportunity, it will be nice to have feedback
@rajiv_ayyangar would be great to hear from you.

I've been making bagel categories using bagelly icons, trying out the airbnb style..this is an RSS aggregator thing I use in my other projects. Fun for a friday! did a quick vid here: https://x.com/graeme_fulton/status/1923371069894779137
@graeme_fulton lot of work to have an excuse to make bagel icons! But it looks cool, the feeds are just your personal favorites?
Prototypr
@_tijs yeah a lot of pointless work haha, just done that for fun. Here's the figma: https://www.figma.com/design/a7cFyq9csOQmOHw976tEMQ/Untitled?node-id=1-98&t=evcy6VNSrNyVMUnN-1
just made with chatgpt, but still takes a bit of time..
The feeds are just from absolutely everywhere, some have been submitted, and some imported from OPML files which have curated RSS feeds
@graeme_fulton ah nice, you managed to get decent cohesion for the different bagels.
Prototypr
@_tijs haha yehh maybe I can evolve it into something even more bagelly and original, but it still feels disingenuous generating with AI...how do you find all that?
I think it's good to see this type of fun stuff come back to UI on the web at least
Working on splitbi.com
Product Hunt
@rsmrahul Any particular features you're working on or looking to add?
@jakecrump I have just launched the product. Yet to get real users, so not adding new features, but will add new features once got some real users and based on their suggestion. This week I am looking in to any defects and minor UI changes.
EarlyFinder
Going to create some automated n8n workflow to pull data from my db and create an articles based on that!
https://www.producthunt.com/posts/earlyfinder
Product Hunt
@marty_ First off, congrats on the launch today!
I haven't used @n8n before, but I hear great things. I'm guessing the articles are based on the early startup info? Is it aimed at kind of telling the story around them?
Iâve been spending time building something I needed myself, and Iâm excited itâs now live đ
đĄ Nexlink is a lightweight networking tool that lets you share your contact details with just a tap or QR scan - no app installs, no awkward exchanges. Itâs perfect for meetups, conferences, or even casual run-ins.
The idea came from too many missed connections at events, and I figured, why not build a smoother way to connect that actually feels modern?
Built it using Replit, and a few hours of trial and error đ
Hereâs the link if youâre curious: https://nexlink.replit.app
Would love your thoughts or feedback! And always happy to connect with fellow weekend builders đ
Product Hunt
@sarah_oluwatosin Good idea! Love when things get built out of a specific personal use case.
What was your experience like building with @Replit? Was this the first product you've built with it?
@jakecrump Thanks. My experience with @Replit was pretty good. I had built simple landing pages before now, but this is the first end-to-end app I built on the platform.
I too will be resurrecting an old project. It's kind of a simplified Electron. You can build desktop apps for Windows & macOS using JavaScript, but with a native UI and without any prerequisites to get started or to distribute your app.
Product Hunt
@jamey_blakely This sounds like a great idea! Depending on how my time goes with Electron, I might have to follow up on this project!
@jakecrump Still lots I want to add, but always looking for feedback! https://tiptopjs.com/download/
Product Hunt
@jamey_blakely Awesome! I'll definitely take a look!

This week i am building integration my AS sales consultant for e-commerce with Shoporia. Already tested video ai and integration with customer support platforms,.When AI can not consult it automatically calls to support. Also added cookies to support conversation history and let AI be more like human
Product Hunt
@emin_aliyev Is the video AI for support as well? Like AI generated support agents over video?
Easymove
@jakecrump it is not exactly for support mostly it is sales consultant. Same experience like in retail store, sales person will consults, get your feedback, understand visitor behavior and reorganize storefront and if necessary can help with frontdesk support
Product Hunt
@emin_aliyev Ah okay gotcha! That's a good analogy!
Smart Keys for Mac
I use notion for my task management and journaling, but I was missing scrum standups and some accountability as a solo developer, so I thought about creating an alarm that wakes me up with my daily own updates (what I did yesterday, what I plan to do today). I did some simple experiments, recording myself before going to sleep and playing it when I woke up, and I enjoyed the experience.
After some initial research, I found thousands of iOS custom alarms, but many of them didnât work well. Digging deeper, people said that iOS alarms are a workaround since Apple doesnât provide any API for that. The technical approaches are not welcomed by Apple and could be shut down at any moment. Still, there are VC-backed companies built on top of this backdoor.
So my first proof of concept was to create a voice memo + alarm app to validate if my approach would be accepted by Apple. An alarm that plays even in Sleep mode, Do Not Disturb, and when sound is muted. They just accepted it. Now I want to polish it a bit more and get some initial feedback.
To be honest, I donât think thereâs a real market for this, so Iâll probably make it open source. However, I see a good foundation for future ideas.
Product Hunt
@diegodottac I use a lot of notes and to-do apps, but they rely on you remembering to actually open them and check. I like the idea of an alarm app that preemptively gets you updated on what you need to do each day. I definitely see the benefit for a solo dev!
NoCodeDevs
hey, cool thread! we are buiding ideahunt.app, a place to discover AI-vetted startup ideas from pain points sourced from Reddit and Hacker News! It's basically a big vetted startup idea database that gets updated daily based on real user pain points found in online discssions.
Product Hunt
@c_arthur_west_iv I really like this idea. I feel like I see 'request for product' style tweets and posts a lot. Very cool to aggregate them in one spot.
I'm curious, what is the AI vetting process doing? Is it cleaning up the requests and grouping them together?
NoCodeDevs
@jakecrump Exactly, it categorizes them and them groups them by topic: SaaS, education, entertainment etc. you can learn more about the process on the landing page :)
Product Hunt
@c_arthur_west_iv Very cool! Also, I like the total Total Startup Ideas quick update. Gives it a very nice realtime feel. Nice touch âš
