AskPilot.io replaces static online surveys with adaptive conversations, online or within your apps. It is FREE for occasional survey users & affordable for heavier users.
Create AI-powered surveys and role-play training that ask smarter follow-ups in real time, uncover the why behind every answer, and automatically score response quality.
Trigger conversations from your app, run live workshops, and turn open-ended dialogue into clear insights—no code, no forms, just better decisions.
AskPilot.ioThe conversational engine for surveys, role-plays, and apps
Create professional, mirrored Zoom and Teams backgrounds for your whole team in minutes. Sure, the world doesn't really need another Zoom background generator, but hear me out.
Ours -
- is free (because)
- shows a map of where you are on Earth so people stop scheduling calls at 1 am (no guarantee)
- looks "pretty" and your whole team looks like a team brand-wise
- allows you to add charities and causes you are passionate about (because being supportive is also free)
- Customizable

Hot take: If your camera is on, your brand is already in the meeting. Most people are just letting their laundry represent it. We built ZoomBackgrounder after one too many “oh god, is my bed made?” moments before VC calls during peak WFH. We didn’t need another Canva template — we needed something dead-simple that made us look like an actual company, not three freelancers trapped in different...

I built AskPilot.io out of frustration. Traditional survey tools forced me to *dumb down questions* just to get a dataset that was easy to analyze. The trade-off was painful: clean charts, bland insights. Yet every time I interviewed customers live, I got incredible depth—context, emotion, real “aha” moments. Static surveys just couldn’t follow up or ask *why*. The same thing happened in...

I personally hate people. They are annoying. But, I hate taking meeting notes and keeping track of 1:1's more. If humanity continues to go the way of "building stuff with teams," then I guess we should at least attempt to do it better.

How to measure and rank the impact (sensitivity) of inputs 4. How to chart hundreds of series in a chart without going mad (well, too late) This spreadsheet took a long time to get "right" and take a look at the internals to see how...

Five years ago I made a Monte Carlo forecasting spreadsheet available to the Agile community to quickly and easily perform forecasting using estimates OR team historical data. It has had hundreds of downloads and I just launched a major update. Still free.

Hi Product Hunters. This spreadsheet performs Monte Carlo forecasts for Agile software development teams using historical team data if available or range estimates if not. It doesn't have any macros or code, it's pure spreadsheet formula goodness and even (mostly) works in Google Sheets. I originally made it available to get the Agile industry out of simplistic (flawed) estimation and...

Nice work. Love that it puts data front and center each morning via slack and email. I'm sure it would help teams avoid that "last day of the sprint" update.
