Solo founder who built an AI lecture tool because ChatGPT kept citing papers that don't exist
Hey everyone,
I'm Egor. Before doing data science/causal inference for an edtech company, I trained in sociology and religious studies (PhD-track program).
I built Nexus Humanum because I got tired of AI tools inventing citations. Ask ChatGPT for a lecture or lit review and it'll happily cite a paper that doesn't exist plausible author, plausible journal, zero real DOI. Funny enough, GPTZero just found 100 of these hallucinated citations in papers accepted at NeurIPS itself, so it's not just me being paranoid about this.
So I built an AI lecture generator where every citation is real, indexed, and clickable sourced from actual academic databases (OpenAlex, HAL, CyberLeninka, CORE, PhilPapers), with solid coverage of non-English scholarship most tools skip entirely.
Hi Product Hunters - I’m Jeroen, building ValuAid from Belgium
Hi Product Hunters
I m Jeroen, based near Antwerp, Belgium, with a background in resale, auctions, e-commerce and business development.
Together with my technical co-founder, we're building ValuAid: an app that helps people identify an object from a photo, explore what it could be worth and, eventually, make a better-informed decision about what to do with it.
The idea came from repeatedly seeing how difficult it can be to understand an unfamiliar object, whether you re a reseller, browsing a flea market, clearing out a home, have inherited something, or are simply curious about an item you own.
We're building a platform to prove what AI builders can actually do, would love your honest take
Hey everyone, I'm Shukria, co-founder of TAM Network. First time posting here, so wanted to introduce myself and what we're working on. Would genuinely love feedback from this community.
Here's the problem we ran into:
My co-founder and I work with a lot of AI builders, developers, automators, no-code creators, strategists. The one thing we kept hearing was: "I've built incredible things with AI, but I have no way to prove it."
Resumes don't capture it. GitHub repos miss the context. Certificates test memorization, not real-world problem solving. And companies hiring for AI roles have no reliable way to tell who can actually deliver.
Founder of GrowWise, building Omnix360 for K-12 organizations
Hi everyone,
I m Anshika Verma, founder of GrowWise and creator of Omnix360.
I run a K 12 learning organization and have seen how difficult it is for tutoring teams to turn assessment results, tutor notes, and student performance data into clear instructional decisions.
"I built 9 AI products from a state you've probably never heard of"
Hi, I'm Ayan farmer's son, Tripura founder, accidental AI builder.
I didn't come from a startup hub. No IIT pedigree. No angel uncle. I grew up watching my family farm in Tripura, Northeast India a state most people can't place on a map.
What I did have was a front-row seat to broken systems. Hiring that filtered people out before a human ever read their name. Healthcare workers doing life-saving work with zero digital support. Bamboo forests with untapped economic potential and no data to unlock it.
So I built.
Short-term memory loss built my app
When I was born, I couldn't breathe, and that is exactly why I made this app.
My memory was destroyed by an accident at birth, and I spent years apologizing to many people and trying to explain why I couldn't remember things. There are some things people can't see, so they dismiss it as excuse.
And they were right to do so, because I could've written it down or done something to prevent myself from forgetting the important things. And that's exactly why PendragonX.com was created.
I wanted something that helped me remember everything and that led me to finding Evernote, which I absolutely fell in love with, until Bending Spoons bought them and extinguished the spark of what Evernote seemed to originally be for me.
So I searched for a better system, and stumbled upon the zettelkasten system by Niklaus Luhmann, and I knew this was special immediately. What made this system so genius was the ability to take ideas that seemed to not connect at all and make them into a living system of knowledge, one that could find the gaps in what you know-you-know-, what you know-you-don't-know, what you don't-know-you-know, and what you don't-know-you-don't-know.
I know that sounds like a mouthful, but let me explain. People know some things without even thinking, but few people know about their gaps in knowledge. PendragonX takes the zettelkasten method and intentionally shows you what you know and transforms it into how to know what you don't, then how to apply that to action.
That's where we come full circle back to me to explain more about myself. I filled the gaps with this app.
I no longer had excuses, I was able to be present for those who counted on me. I could finally turn those thoughts to actions, and stop removing myself from fault.
So all the good and bad about this app is 100% my fault, and that's a wonderful thing.
In SF for a week! Let’s meet up ☕️🍻
Business student who built a free startup failure database (would love to meet other makers)
Hi everyone, I'm Kashika, a business student at Northeastern University studying marketing.
I just launched Ledger & Lore, a free, sourced database documenting why 194 startups actually failed, spanning 22+ countries and industries from fintech to biotech to retail. Each entry includes funding history, investors, a sourced explanation of what actually went wrong, a timeline, and a plain-language lesson, built to be a genuine alternative to expensive tools like Crunchbase that treat failure as a footnote rather than the actual subject.
Every entry is manually researched and verified against public reporting, not scraped, and where a figure was never publicly disclosed, it's marked "Undisclosed" rather than estimated. There's also a compare tool to look at two companies side by side, and a research article pulling patterns across the whole dataset.
