Hey Product Hunt Fam! 👋
AI tools are everywhere—AI for content, AI for outreach, AI for lead gen, AI for AI… (Seriously, where does it end? 🤦♂️)
But here’s the thing: AI alone doesn’t deliver outcomes. It drafts, generates, and automates—but when it comes to actually getting stuff done? That’s still on us humans.
We pivoted Waxwing into a Human+AI marketplace because our early users told us exactly what was missing: accountability and real, finished work. So we built Waxwing 2.0 — the only marketplace where real experts take AI to the last mile.
What does that mean for you?
• AI-Generated Previews → See exactly what AI can do before you hire an expert. No surprises, no guesswork.
• 500+ AI-Powered Workflows → Crafted by true pros, fine-tuned for execution (not just outputs).
• DIY or Hire an Expert → Use our workflows yourself or bring in a pro to refine and execute.
• Context-Aware AI Copilot → It learns your brand, your tasks, and your goals—offering actually helpful suggestions.
• Centralized Knowledge Base → No more repeating the same brand details to every freelancer; Waxwing already knows your brand inside out.
• Multi-Agent, Multi-Expert Orchestration → Execute high-value, complex projects with a mix of AI agents and human experts working in sync.
We are going head-to-head with @agent.ai (by @dharmesh )
They are betting big on AI agents just like us. But here’s what we’ve learned: agents without humans still fall short. They hallucinate, miss context, and don’t deliver ownership or final outcomes.
We believe Human+AI > Just AI — and we’re doubling down on that.
Here’s why Waxwing is better:
More than agents: We offer outcomes. You don’t just get a chatbot—you get a result.
Real experts in the loop. When AI hits its limits, humans take over. Seamlessly.
Execution, not just automation. Work gets done—not just started.
Brand-aware workflows. No cold starts, no repetitive onboarding. We retain brand context across projects.
Why does this matter? Because businesses don’t need more AI tools—they need results. AI alone won’t take responsibility, make judgment calls, or avoid the dreaded hallucinations. That’s where humans step in.
With Waxwing, AI does what it does best (speed, drafts, automation) and experts do what they do best (creativity, strategy, accountability). The result? Real, tangible outcomes.
Let’s make AI human again. Let’s make AI great again.

Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and what you want from an AI-powered service marketplace. Let’s build the future together!
P.S. Huge shoutout to @rohanrecommends for hunting us, @gabe for the amazing feedback and @rajiv_ayyangar for building this amazing community! 🚀
My user journey has been quite challenging. The platform asked me numerous questions. For some reason, it requested my website data and other related information. How does this step contribute to the user onboarding process? Overall, I believe the UX/UI could use some enhancements.
Waxwing
@michael_vavilov AI is data hungry, we crawl the website and gather all the public information to build the initial knowledge base and context for the AI agents to run for you.
Why ask this when a workflow has not yet been created? From a product point of view, these questions can be addressed later, allowing users to be brought into the platform more quickly and to demonstrate value sooner.
Waxwing
@michael_vavilov That's great feedback, definitely something for us to ponder upon. Thank You Michael.
Makes so much sense! Can’t remember how many times I personally have used an AI tool or workflow, only for it to miss by just a bit, in the last step. Feels quite frustrating.
Super excited to try the product out & see what adding humans in the mix can lead to!

@aditya_sharma40 Thank you so much for the support. Looking forward to you trying the product.

Hello PH fam,
Waxwing founder chiming in! As a lifelong techy, I love what AI brings to the table: faster workflows, automated insights, instant drafts. But here’s the catch: AI isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Without real human insight—someone who understands brand voice, nuance, and big-picture strategy—AI’s outputs can feel generic or out of context.
Meanwhile, going the purely human route can be slow, especially when you’re juggling multiple freelancers who each need to be caught up on every project detail.
That’s why we believe in pairing the two: let AI handle repetitive tasks, and let qualified experts refine the results. It’s about cutting out the busywork so humans can do what they do best—bring creativity, empathy, and strategic thinking to the table.
We’ve spent months turning that principle into something tangible, and the result is Waxwing! Hope y'all enjoy using it as much as we did building it!
Cheers!
@samarth_tripathi totally agree that AI alone isn’t enough- human expertise makes all the difference. Curious, what has been the biggest challenge in getting AI and human experts to work seamlessly together?
Would love to hear your insights on this !!
@dharmesh @rohanrecommends @gabe @rajiv_ayyangar @creative_nemo

@richa_sharma07 Thank you so much for the support. Do try and let us know how we can improve?
Congrats on the 2.0 release! 🥳 Creating a marketplace for human-assisted AI agents bridges the gap between automation and human insight. Eager to see how this evolves and supports diverse use cases.
Waxwing
@gianmaria_caltagirone Thank you. We do believe Human+AI is where real magic happens. Super excited about the future.
The biggest pain right now is that AI gives you drafts, not done. I think Waxwing 2.0 nails that last-mile problem by introducing human accountability. Congratulations on the launch @creative_nemo! Hoping to see this become bigger
Waxwing
@pranay12 Thank you Pranay, we completely agree... The 'last mile' is definitely missing and a problem we hope to solve.

Hmm, sounds good! Congratulations on the launch. Excited to see where this goes! 🎊
Waxwing
@kay_arkain Thanks, we are excited too !
How does your quality control system balance AI efficiency with human oversight when scaling?
Waxwing
@denzel_downs Great question , To be real - it's still too early for us, we will probably need some great folks on our side to figure this out at scale.
Looks good!
Nice to see you hut great products @rohanrecommends! Great to hear from you
Might try the product as human producer
Waxwing

Congratulations on the launch! Waxwing sounds like it solves the gap between AI's output and human expectations.
Waxwing
@jesna_james Thanks Jesna, We do hope to solve the problem and bridge the gap.
Waxwing
It was about time we have human-in the loop in the actual sense! A real-time integrated human expertise is what makes Waxwing 2.0 a game changer for no-bullshit, tangible and accelerated outputs blended with the creator's uniqueness. The customized plug-and-play workflows make the human creators retain their driver's seat and focus on the strategy while AI does the rest.
Waxwing
@girnarg Thanks Girnar!
Trust but verify! 🔍 Are ‘AI-savvy’ experts vetted through tests, portfolios, or client reviews?
Waxwing
@desmond_ren1 Hey Desmond, Right now - we vet all the experts personally. As a user, you get to see their AI workflows/Agents before even deciding to work with them which we believe is better than portfolios and client reviews (which will also be available soon).
Thanks for the support
I like the blend of AI and human expertise! 👀
Waxwing
@shenjun Thanks, We believe that's the only way to deliver real value.
Interesting idea! I definitely experience the problem all the time.
Waxwing
Thanks for the support Tom! Would love for you try out our product and let us know how we can make it better?
Human+AI is magical.
Congrats on the launch! Been learning a good bit about AI agents lately so it's cool to see human-assisted AI agents come to market.
Waxwing
@cam_walker Thanks Cam, Agents are awesome .. Human + AI agents are even better.
Congratulations for the launching

I was tired of AI tools giving me vague generic responses that looked good the first time, but were hard to execute end to end. Always ended up taking a lot of my time to polish those blog posts or changing those marketing assets.
Adding a human in the loop with AI will actually get shit done. Looking forward to trying this out.

@rahul_bhatnagar1 Do let us know what you think about the platform Rahul
Powerful concept! Blending AI efficiency with human expertise—Upwork 2.0 sounds like the future of smart work.
Congrats on the launch Tarun and team! Love the Human+AI focus. Execution over automation is the way forward. Excited to see where Waxwing goes next.
