Hello everyone! Just joined Product Hunt and would love to connect with some like-minded people! My name is Cecilia and am currently working at Talentium - a Stockholm-based AI company. We're building a platform where recruiters can prompt for candidates that matches their requirements, regardless if the data is public or if it's coming from a CV or from their talent pools.
Aside from working in the start-up world for my whole career, I've started a restaurant together with my parents in my hometown which is now one of the best rated restaurants in that city! And now I'm currently working with my sister to launch a Vietnamese coffee brand in Sweden, finalizing the details. Been doing a bunch of random stuff throughout my life, like moving to Vietnam for a year, studying wine tasting at Stanford, and much more.
While building a product, I ve also been trying to run content on social media to bring in more traffic. I experimented with creating AI-generated characters and producing UGC-style videos around them.
During this process, I realized something interesting: there are hundreds of tools that can generate virtual characters and UGC-style videos. But what actually makes a video engaging isn t the tool - it s the authenticity of the person creating the content.
tldr: yes. Shoutouts are one of the simplest distribution levers on Product Hunt.
Shoutouts are meant to pay it forward and highlight the tools that helped you build. But beyond goodwill, they create durable distribution for your product on Product Hunt and across LLM driven discovery.
When you shout out a product during launch, it becomes a founder review on that product s page. Founder reviews sit above regular reviews and include a link to both your profile and your product. That means your product is now attached to every future visit to that product s review page, long after launch day. For example, check out @timliao s shoutout of @Framer or @guymanzur s shoutout of @Base44
