gm legends, happy first day of 2026.
If you want to kick this year off with more than vibes, today’s lineup has range: one tool forces you to look at your life in big blocks so those “someday” plans actually find a slot, one cuts your feeds down to the tiny slice of the internet that is worth your attention, and one tracks your caffeine curve so the new sleep and health routines have a fighting chance.
Your time, on a timeline

Intnt lets you map out the rest of your life in years, months, and big milestones. You plug in your age, rough expectations, and goals, and it turns that into a clear, zoomed-out view of how much time you probably have left and what you’re planning to do with it. It’s less “to-do list” and more “here is your one life, in blocks.”
🔥 Our Take: There is something pretty morbid about plotting your remaining years on a screen… and also something weirdly grounding. Starting 2026 by staring at a rough estimate of how much time you have left is not exactly cozy, but it does make “I’ll do it later” feel wasteful.
You prompt your LLMs, why not your speech-to-text?

AssemblyAI’s Universal-3 Pro introduces a new class of promptable speech models—built for real-world Voice AI. It handles domain-specific language, multiple languages, accents, and noisy audio with ease.
Unlike traditional ASR, Universal-3 Pro lets developers guide accuracy with prompts, combining the reliability of speech recognition with the controllability of LLMs—so you’re not stuck fixing transcripts after the fact.
AssemblyAI is opening free access throughout February, and the Product Hunt community is among the first to try what promptable ASR can do.

Cut the feed, keep signal

NBot is an AI curator that reads the internet for you and throws away the junk. You set the topics you care about, it combs news, blogs, forums and social, and gives you a tight feed of just the useful stuff instead of another endless scroll.
🔥 Our Take: Starting the new year by trying to read everything is how you burn out by week two. Better move is deciding what actually matters, then letting something else hunt for the one percent that is worth your time. Less noise, more signal, and your brain gets to work on the inputs instead of chasing them.
Caffeine you can actually see

Clarity tracks what you drink and shows how much caffeine is in your system right now and how long it’ll stick around. Log your coffees, teas, energy drinks and supplements, and it gives you a simple curve instead of a random number so you can decide when to cut it off if you actually want to sleep.
🔥 Our Take: If your New Year plan is to make healthier choices and you still slam coffee whenever you feel tired, this is a good place to start. Seeing the caffeine build up in real time makes it way harder to pretend that one last cup at 4pm is harmless.
