Launched the beta of a personalized AI-powered newsletter, would love feedback
Our thought it that it can be a replacement for Google Alerts since the Google Alert experience is... well... not great.
It's also just a great way to think about getting your news - hyper-personalized at scale.
Any feedback appreciated, we just launched: https://www.producthunt.com/prod...
We want to validate this is an interesting and usable concept before we go further, but you can imagine how this concept could be brought to more information mediums (video, podcast, etc.).
Thanks for your support!

It'd be good if there were some example templates/newsletters on the website or the product hunt listing.
Also was wondering about your experience with launching a new AI powered product/tool. What are some of the pain points/challenges that you're experiencing? Would like to understand some of the challenges here, not so much on the technical side of developing the product, but more on the business or operational aspect.

@sam1323123 Sam, thank you for this feedback, I totally agree.
One thought we had was to create curated feeds on the homepage to show the type of thing it can do. We also plan to add some screenshots once we clean up the email template, this was a bit of a rushed launch just to get something out there.
This is our first B2C AI product we've launched, so there was definitely some learning involved. From a business/ops perspective, just coordinating a launch when you're building at the same time is difficult. Things go wrong on the technical side that effect launch plans. So even though we had a robust launch plan and checklist, things happen fast where you need to pivot fast.
From idea to launch, the whole process took us less than 2 weeks so we really rushed this. For any future launch, we'll be doing some validation testing before we start development and build a waitlist much earlier.
In this case, we had some other motives to launch this as well so we skipped that step.
So overall, I'd just say managing the chaos in a tight launch timeline was the biggest pain point.
@david_steen Thanks David. What about growth and competitor research? Any challenges experienced there?
@sam1323123 we just launched so haven’t gotten into growth strategies yet.
We also didn’t identify any direct competitors, but also didn’t do a ton of market research - in this case we were building the infrastructure for this product anyway so it was a quick thing to spit out and test.
