🔥 What's been your favorite product of 2025?
by•
We're into the last week of November, which is a little nuts to me. It feels like last week we rang in the 2025 new year celebrations. There's been a ton of new products launch this year, unsurprisingly a lot of them with "AI" in their name. What product or products stood out to you the most?
For me it has to be @Wispr Flow, it's completely changed the game on how I interact with my devices, I rarely find myself typing anymore. Even this post was dictated through Wispr Flow.

I am mostly dabbling in content and figuring out ways to build new resources. So @Lovable has been really amazing and sort of a life-saver. ( @ChatGPT by OpenAI can also build UI/UX prototypes now, so that helped as well.)
Side by side, I started learning a bit about Meta Ads. So, naturally, @Vaizle AI came in handy.
Some tools I really enjoyed
1. Granola - AI note taker
2. Claude code - I am non-technical and the power it has given me to do things is magical
3. Google Gemini - I am a designer and can say that the design quality here has gotten soo much better
4. Twitter / X - The number of people that have influenced and motivated me has been life changing
For me, of course @ChatGPT by OpenAI has been the standout especially for research-heavy work and structuring long documents. As a public policy and a technical project manager, I often use:
@Canva for design a lot of my social media content.
@Unsplash for any free picture to my deck/slides.
@Figma yes for the UI/UX apps dev.
@AskYura for my business chatbot (helps a lot for ticketing and interactive FAQ).
@Reddit my go-to social media platform to exchange news/info/tips.
Lastly, @Qwen 2.5 @Hugging Face @v0 by Vercel for vibe coding.
Welltory
For me, one standout this year has been @Welltory
I use it daily, and what really sets it apart is how clearly it helps me understand what’s actually happening with my body — stress, energy, recovery — not just track it.
It’s one of those products that quietly changes your behavior over time, because it gives you insight you didn’t even know you were missing.
Looking forward to 2026!
three underrated ones that quietly became daily habits for me:
speakeasy (speakeasy.studio.gold) — paste any article url, get audio instantly. had 400+ unread pocket articles, now i just listen on my commute. free tier is genuinely usable. way cheaper than speechify for the core use case
astrologica (astrologica.app) — ok hear me out. ai-generated daily horoscope podcast based on your actual birth chart, not generic sun sign stuff. 5 minutes every morning while i make coffee. i know it sounds niche but the audio format is what makes it actually stick
wordplay (wordplay.studio.gold) — one cryptic crossword clue per day. teaches you how to solve cryptics gradually. has that wordle-like "only one per day" restraint that somehow makes it more satisfying
none of them are trying to do too much. that's probably why they stuck 🙌
