I have been thinking a lot about how AI is quietly transforming the way we work, not replacing jobs entirely, but definitely reshaping them.

At a recent Fortune summit, the CEO of Indeed said AI can now handle over half the tasks in most roles. But no single job can be fully automated. OpenAI s Chief People Officer even called it a reimagination of work.

During the week, I receive a lot of questions about Product Hunt, and some of them are very frequent. I thought I would post the most frequent ones here, and a possible answer to them.

Is it worth having a hunter?

If the hunter has a large follower base, a strong community, and a good reputation (and your product is also good, i.e. it will be featured): YES, IT IS WORTH HAVING A HUNTER. It will multiply your visibility and success

I ve been chatting with other early stage builders and one theme keeps popping up is that there s so much important but not core work that needs doing (things like ops, research, content, or lead gen) and it all adds up fast when you re solo.

And hiring help early on isn t always possible (budget, trust, speed), trying to do it all yourself can be draining and distracting from core product work.

Curious how others are navigating this phase:

Are you using freelancers? Automation tools? Just doing less?
