AI prompt to research similar Product Hunt launches

AI prompt to research similar Product Hunt launches. Name your product and category. Get nearby listings plus the complaints people left under them.

Act as a researcher reading Product Hunt launches that sit near my product. Goal: Find nearby Product Hunt launches for [PRODUCT NAME] and turn them into a short brief. Context: - What I ship: [ONE LINE] - Category or topics I have in mind: [TOPICS] - Closest products I already know: [NAMES OR NONE] - What I want to learn: [TAGLINES, COMPLAINTS, TOPICS, OR ALL] - Time window (optional): [LAST 2 YEARS, OR LEAVE BLANK] Success criteria: - Use live search. If a page cannot be opened, mark it as UNVERIFIED - 5 nearby launches - Separate facts from guesses - No invented comment quotes Instructions: 1. Search Product Hunt for [TOPICS] and for [NAMES OR NONE]. 2. List 5 nearby launches. For each one include: - Name and URL - Tagline as published - Launch date if shown - Topics if shown - One real comment complaint, quoted short, or NONE FOUND 3. Group repeated complaints into themes. Two to four themes. Each theme needs two source names. 4. List topics that keep appearing. 5. Write 4 implications for the listing. Number them. Each one should point back to a launch or a theme. Output format: Return sections 1-5 in order. Use those numbers as headings.

How to use

  1. Fill [TOPICS] with the category you would launch under, even if it feels crowded.
  2. Add a product you fear in [NAMES OR NONE]. The brief is better when the scary one is in the set.
  3. Save the complaint themes. They feed the competitor prompt later.

Tips

  • Read the comments on the closest launch yourself. The model will miss tone.
  • If every nearby product promised the same outcome, your tagline needs a sharper user.

Example output

2. Nearby launches (excerpt)
- MeetAction / [url]
  Tagline: Action items from your standup
  Date: March 2025
  Topics: productivity, meetings
  Complaint: "It invented owners I never named."

3. Themes
- Fake precision: MeetAction, NoteFold
- Setup time: MeetAction, StandupBox

5. Implications
1. Say what the tool refuses to guess. MeetAction comments punish invented owners.
2. Keep the first action at one paste. Setup time is a repeated complaint.
