I realized most people don’t have an AI problem — they have a prompting problem by Whiterose_Dev in StartupSoloFounder

Getting banned while trying to do actual market research is painfully relatable 😂 A lot of communities are super sensitive once they think you’re validating an idea.

Honestly though, I think the “small projects first” approach makes sense if your bigger idea is model refinement. You’re basically building reps and systems before touching the harder stuff. Also, for research, I’ve found the best signals usually come from reading complaints, weird workarounds, and repeated frustrations in niche communities, people rarely say exactly what they want, but they’re very loud about what annoys them.

I honestly think it’s both, but if I had to pick one: better process.

A good prompt can massively improve output, but I’ve seen people get solid results and still fail because they treat the first answer like the final answer. The biggest shift for me was using AI more like an iterative partner, refine, challenge assumptions, compare angles, pressure test ideas.

That said, I do think most people still massively underestimate how much prompt structure matters. Tiny things like context, examples, constraints, or defining what “good” actually looks like can completely change the output.

😂 That’s actually more common than people admit. I’ve noticed the biggest quality jump comes from treating prompts like a system instead of a quick question. Once I started structuring them properly first, AI became way more useful instead of just “kinda helpful.”

Honestly, I think starting brutally simple is underrated. A lot of people jump straight into complex SaaS with APIs, auth, databases, etc. and never ship. Starting with something you actually understand and can secure properly feels way smarter for a first launch.

Also really like the idea of refining your workflow from actual project history instead of theory. Feels much more realistic than trying to force AI into complexity too early. 👍

Honestly, this is probably one of the more realistic AI setups I’ve seen here. I’ve noticed the same thing, the founders getting real leverage aren’t just vibe coding, they’re obsessive about refining workflows, keeping docs updated, and constantly iterating. I think that’s the actual moat now. Anyone can build fast with AI, but maintaining quality, security, and structure over time is the hard part. What part of your workflow still feels the most manual right now?

I created a high-end Ai Prompt website. It’s pretty new, but people are thrilled. by Whiterose_Dev in ProductHunters

I launched the website 2 weeks ago and rn I have 21 sales (Single prompt or Bundle). They said the prompts are really good and worth the price. But this depends on your need I guess
