Hey everyone, it s been a while

I m honestly a bit nervous to launch today.

We ve just launched Bunzee 2.0 our Business GPT that helps validate the viability of your ideas.

Bildr didn't make it:

An Update on Bildr

Bildr was built on a real belief: that the ability to create software shouldn't require knowing how to write it.

We made meaningful progress on that, and we've had the privilege of watching people build their software and their businesses with Bildr, this has always been what drove us as a team.

But the ground has shifted. The emergence of agentic AI development platforms has created a fundamental change in the relationship between humans and software. The constraint that Bildr was designed to remove is now being removed in different, better ways, and at a pace that Bildr cannot match.

After a lot of consideration, and after years of building, I've made the decision that it is time to close this chapter and to shut Bildr down.

What that means for you:

Studio access to your projects and data, as well as an ability to export all of your data, will be available until May 25, 2026.

Log in to Bildr Studio and use the export option in the Studio header. Everything will be accessible until that date. Please don't wait. After May 25, support will no longer be available.

If your projects in Bildr have real-world customers on them, you will likely receive a direct email from the team offering to help and to show you how to make use of agentic AI development to make migrating off of Bildr much easier. If you don't receive an email from us and you do have live customers on your project, please reach out at support@bildr.com.

If you're on a monthly plan, we've canceled your subscription and you will see no further charges. If you're on an annual plan, you'll receive a pro-rated refund for your remaining months. That will come automatically, with no action needed from you.

Your subscription being canceled does not affect your projects. Everything you've published will continue running normally for your users until May 25th.

After May 25, 2026, Bildr Studio will go offline and all data will be deleted 30 days later.

A Note of Gratitude

Building a better way for non-coders to create software was a mission worth pursuing, and none of this would have been possible without all of you who shared this journey with us. I am deeply grateful for having had the opportunity. Thank you.

Hi builders, I m Bill.

I have a question for everyone here: How much do you actually trust AI to validate your business ideas?

To be honest, I rarely use AI for serious business decisions anymore.

Update: The Deel Leaderboard will no longer be going ahead today for the Paris event.

We re teaming up with The Pitch by @Deel, a global startup competition where up to 100 winners will receive $50k in funding and up to 10 winners will receive $1M+.

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?

We play Oh Hell regularly and struggled to find a decent score tracker that didn't overcomplicate things. Been using Oh Hell & Whilst Score Tracker for a while now and it just works.

The standout feature for our group: everyone can pull up the scoreboard on their own phone, or we throw it up on the TV. No more huddling around one screen.

When you re browsing the Product Hunt leaderboard or checking out top launches, which category of products actually makes you stop and click?

Example, yesterday @lazverry told me on my forum thread that they are a creator, so they spend a lot of time looking into Design & Creatives and Productivity.

I ve discovered a lot of useful products through Product Hunt over time.

Funny thing is, some of them I found way back, but only recently started using when the right use case clicked. I kept bookmarking them. And that s when their real value showed up.

With AI bots getting harder to detect, there s been growing discussion around platforms using biometric verification (like face scans) to confirm real users.

Cool in theory... Reddit is full of bots, fake accounts and garbage engagement. But let s be real

Reddit without anonymity isn t Reddit.

AI dev tools are evolving crazy fast , every few weeks there s a new must-try for vibe coders.

Some people are building full products with @ChatGPT by OpenAI and @Replit , others swear by @Cursor and @Claude by Anthropic , and a few are mixing @Lovable + @v0 by Vercel + @bolt.new to ship apps in record time.

I ve been refining my own vibe stack lately, trying to find that sweet spot between speed, control, and creativity.
It made me wonder ,what does your setup look like right now?
