I love it @busmark_w_nika - it's very auspicious! But I'm wondering, how do products get shortlisted or featured within each of the award categories? Marlee isn't included in the Productivity shortlist (https://www.producthunt.com/gold...) up for votes & we won productivity product of the week when we launched, so this seems odd to me...? Is it based on total votes rolled up for the year?

Hi Nika! Happy new year! This is extremely worrying. Lies can spread incredibly fast, misleading advertising from powerful lobbyists may influence the uneducated etc. It'll be a race to the bottom. Also the tech industry roll back of DEI initiatives, Meta, McDonalds etc all rolling back diversity initiatives. I just hope we don't regress and lose all the progress that has been achieved for...

Hi Daniel! Great question to discuss here! I agree with John's comments, but I think it's worth mentioning here that the artists & creators whose work was used to train the AIs never gave their consent to have their IP used in this way and so are not benefiting from their commercial intellectual property rights through royalties etc. Obviously the industry is so new, this hasn't yet...

Welcome Nicholas 👋 What brings you to the Product Hunt community?

Happy new year Priyanka! 🎉 I'm seeing that AI agents are becoming our natural teammates in the workplace - supporting decisions, accelerating personal development, sparking ideas, and managing routine tasks. This shift creates space for us humans to focus on relationships and complex problem-solving, boosting productivity. Ethics, responsible development, security & safety are vital.

Great discussion Sayoni, thanks for highlighting 😍

My daughter's obsessed with an app called Feelsy. It's super calming - a nice change to just "be".

Thanks for sharing Nika! Richard Branson is inspiring. I often share his stories with my son. He has dyslexia, which my son also has. He often says he's successful because of his dyslexia - it helps him think differently from everyone else.

Hi Nika, I upvote.... - If I like the product (& have a personal use for it), or... - If I can see a unique benefit for the product (to people, the planet or business), ie it fills a gap - & videos & images help in this process

I plan my days based around my goals - the tasks that are going to help me hit my goals the fastest! Then I colour block the tasks in my calendar so I stick to them.

For me "short films in one click" is the problem. Very few storyteller / filmmakers would believe that proposition. To believe it, you'd need to break it down. (Unless by "short films" you actually mean memes)? To create a compelling short film there's the story idea, the character development, script or story production, the location or place in the world where the story is set, the...

Love your launch video & great product!

I play deep house music!! It drowns out every distraction & helps me stay on task 🎧🥁

Hi Hamza, BTW we have research on the top 5 (human) skills that lead to startup venture success, they're.... 1. Initiative: Turning ideas into action 2. Personal power and leadership skills 3. Big-picture thinking and vision (you nailed it with your #4) 4. Instinctive decision-making skills (ie strong gut instinct) 5. Commercial awareness and financial drive (you got this one with your #5)...

I joined earlier this year to launch our first product but I love seeing all the latest innovations coming down the pipeline 🚀

Alignment is also given a real boost when I understand how my key stakeholders are convinced & adapt my communications to suit each stakeholder so I connect & convince them faster

Definitely time blocking in my calendar for the key tasks for the week ahead (based around seasonal goals) 🎯

Hi @chrismessina, I also have mixed feelings about this technology. We just published our new Gen Z at Work Study, with findings showing that younger generations have a 53% decrease in big-picture, strategic thinking & a 60% decline in trusting "gut feel" for decision-making. These are some of the skills that we know lead to venture success in business. The more tech does the thinking for...

I agree Nika! I was thinking the same this morning. Twitter usage has declined since Elon bought it (media is saying round 15%) but I'm betting it'll rapidly grow now he's Trump's new bestie. I checked my feed last night (after it was announced Trump had won), & there were 50/50 balanced views (some against Trump, some for Trump, & a lot of Elon's posts winning the top spots in my...
