What I'm building after ClawOffice didn't take off
Hey everyone
ClawOffice was a bit of a gimmick - a 3D virtual office for AI agents. It was fun to build and got some attention on launch, but let's be real: it didn't take off. People thought it was cool for a minute, then moved on. No real retention, no real problem being solved.
Here's what I actually learned from it:
Novelty value. A cool concept gets you a launch day. It doesn't get you users who come back on day 30.
I was building for the demo, not the workflow. ClawOffice looked great in a screenshot. It didn't solve anything measurable for anyone.
"What gets tracked gets improved" is real. The founders I talked to afterward all had the same pain - they were shipping features and running experiments with no clue what was actually driving revenue.
How Agencies Are Adding €2k–€5k Monthly Retainers with AI Visibility Services
Over the past three months, I've spoken with 50+ agencies using Rankfender.
Most started the same way: a client asked "are we showing up in ChatGPT?" and they had no answer.
Now? Many have built entire new service lines around AI visibility adding 2k, 5k, even 10k in monthly recurring revenue.
Here's exactly how they're doing it.
Should you add a shoutout to your Product Hunt launch?
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
