Are we really using our time more meaningfully thanks to AI?

AI has undoubtedly made our work easier and faster.

An article that would have taken me several days before (defining the topic, doing research, interviewing experts for unique insights, validating data, and writing the final piece) can now be turned into a solid article in under two hours. (in my case, when I publish a weekly newsletter)

How much time do you spend on hobbies?

Last 5 years my job was my hobby. And then I felt burning out emotionally. Thats why now I decided to do tennis, dancing and painting apart from work. I m wondering how much time is okay for that.

What needs to be perfect with your product before launch?

I've just made the most difficult decision to put off my product launch until after a week later because I thought we are not ready. A few shake-ups here and there. But this, in my opinion, while it is a setback, I see it instead as an opportunity to re-evaluate what we currently have. And make sure we get it right with our launch. We're working on making our product worthy of this community. And we are working hard at it. What is a non-negotiable for product launches in your opinion? Let's hear your thoughts. UPDATE: We finally fixed the issue we had and resolved to go live this Saturday. :) I can't thank you all enough for all your amazing answers. We'll keep working hard on our product even post-launch. But of course, those early feedbacks will be vital to our growth. We are going live on PH on Saturday. Please find us here: https://www.producthunt.com/prod... Thanks for your support.

How did you come up with your logo, naming and branding? (Vision behind it.)

A day ago, I was talking to a friend about logo design.

TL;DR: how the Apple logo came to be and how it wasn t always the bitten apple we know today.

The first concept was actually Newton sitting under a tree.

How do you feel about offering money to test a product?

Product Hunt was created specifically to showcase what you do. But let s face it, with the progress of AI, there are more and more products and you don t have time to test them all (respect to @gabe , who does this job brilliantly).

I noticed that as my following grew throughout social media, more people contacted me wanting to test products. Of course, I don t have room for everyone, and what s even more shocking is that to get to me, they want to compensate me for testing.

What's your favorite perk of WFH?

Hey, hunters! Many of us work from home or in a hybrid system. If that's your case: what's your favorite perk of working from home? My top reasons: - Wearing comfy clothes - Avoiding the commute - Being able to travel! I'm currently in Europe for a month, and that wouldn't have been possible if I worked in-office.

How do busy founders “reset” during weekends, holidays, or vacations?

So far, the impression I have of this community and maker circles is that you work every day.

Which is great, it s one of the reasons I m here.

How do you recruit early adopters for your product?

Hi PH I would like to share experiences on how to get early feedback and validation when launching a new product Let's start with mine... 1. In January I created a landing page about my new product with the goal of collecting early adopters e-mails 2. I searched on LinkedIn for professionals that can benefit from my new product. In my case I looked for "conversational designers" and I obtained a list of 6 hundreds people approx. 3. I created a sequence (thanks to an automation tool) to engage with those people on LinkedIn: view profile, follow, send an invite, endorse skills and a couple of follow-up messages to request if they were interested to get early access to the new product. 4. Once they land on the landing page, I started engaging with them directly on the landing page through a widget and a conversational application that I built with my brand new no-code design studio in a few minutes. In this way I obtained the first 100 early adopters. This helped me a lot to gather feedback and improve the product before the launch scheduled on Thursday, Feb 9th. What about your experience to look for early adopters?
