I couldn’t hear my own mistakes, so I built TonePerfect

Hi Product Hunt! I m Nik, a solo founder based between Paris and Tbilisi.

A few years ago I started learning Mandarin. I loved the language, but pronunciation kept frustrating me, especially tones. I could repeat a word again and again, but I never really knew if I was saying it right or just repeating the same mistake.

What do you still do manually, even though AI could do it?

AI can draft a reply, build a small app, or run a routine task. But being able to automate something does not always mean you want to hand it over.

Sometimes doing it yourself is how you notice a problem or understand what someone actually needs.
