About

👋 Hello, I’m Alper Tayfur — startup founder passionate about the intersection of technology, artificial intelligence, and automation. I design tools that feel like teammates, not platforms — systems that think with you, not for you. 🧠 With a background in start-up and AI-powered workflows, I explore how smart tech can actually empower humans — not replace them. 🏗️ Currently building in public @Awish — a platform where your ideas become automations, just by describing them. 🌱 I believe products grow best when built with communities — not in silos. Topics I love: 🚀 Startups Execution & New Ai Techs 💡 Emerging tech & product innovation 🧠 AI & natural language ⚙️ Automation logic & no-code tools 🫶 Let’s talk smart systems, strange builds, and the tools we wish existed.

Vote selling on Product Hunt

Every day, after launching, makers are contacted on LinkedIn and X by people offering to sell votes. As the Product Hunt team, we are very much aware of this and really hate it. We have systems in place to neutralize this type of gaming. Every vote counts for a different number of points on Product Hunt. A couple examples:

  • An account with a recently created gmail address and no history of quality contributions on Product Hunt: this vote will count for 0 points. Yes, this might be a well intentioned user, but we take a conservative approach to protect the community. If the account has a company email or applies for verification on Product Hunt, that's a different story.

  • An account with a company email address linked to a legitimate LinkedIn account with a history of meaningful contributions on Product Hunt: this vote carries significant weight.

A couple questions for the community:

  • Are there specific accounts on Product Hunt that you suspect participate in vote selling? You can reply here or email report@producthunt.co

  • What would you want to see us do differently here?

How do we define “seniority” and career/skill progress in the age of AI?

We keep hearing: Juniors won t stand a chance.

But companies are still opening internships, which suggests something deeper than just skill-building still matters (like understanding systems, workflows, and how companies actually operate the management part).
