Example Usage
Just ask your AI agent:
"Help me plan my Product Hunt launch"
"Write a tagline for my SaaS product"
"Create a launch day checklist"
"Check if my email is PH-compliant"
"When is the best day to launch?"
"How do I avoid getting shadow-banned?"
"Find hunters in the AI/developer tools space"
Key Product Hunt Rules
| Rule |
Why It Matters |
| Never ask for upvotes |
Ask for “support” or “feedback” instead — violating this = ban |
| Launch at 12:01 AM PST |
Maximize your 24-hour window |
| First 4 hours are critical |
Algorithm weights early momentum heavily |
| Respond to every comment |
Engagement depth boosts ranking |
| Stagger your outreach |
All-at-once looks spammy to algorithm |
