Solidroad 2.0: AI-powered sales and customer support conversation simulator designed to train customer-facing teams. 

It’s refreshing to see Solidroad focus on improving people rather than replacing them — an approach I rarely see in AI support tools. The interactive lessons and real-world simulations are a great touch, especially since you can customize them to fit your team’s needs, instead of relying on a library of templates and boilerplate scenarios. It makes ongoing coaching, which is always crucial, so much more manageable.

Tonari: Always-on, floor-to-ceiling video portals that allow true eye contact. 

Setting aside Tonari’s remarkable technical achievements, I’m impressed by how the team is clearly thinking about how to solve the remote video call problem in a way that centers core human values like empathy, closeness, and intimacy. I’ll be curious to see whether the product gains a user base outside of Japan. Is the Western workplace really ready for always-on, wall-embedded portals?

Airbounce: MacOS menubar app that transforms your caps lock key into a one-button control station for Zoom — join, leave, mute and unmute with the stroke of a key. 

If the app seems pretty simple, that’s because it is. But it’s pretty cool that you can now save yourself the fleeting stress of that embarrassing shuffle you do while trying to find the unmute button or leave the call before everyone else does. *Shudders*.

The Product Hunt Demo night is moving to Austin in combination with our team off-site. If you’re in or around Austin and want to meet like minded people trying to change the world, sign up here.  It's taking place on Wednesday, September 25th and spaces are limited so be quick!
