I'm Ankush, co-founder of Construct. We go live on Product Hunt on August 23rd, and I'd rather explain what we built here than just post a countdown.

What it is: a team of AI agents that gets a real computer instead of just a chat window. Every agent gets a browser-based cloud desktop with a browser, terminal, files, email, calendar, and memory that persists. You hand it work, maybe close the laptop, and it keeps going in the background as it runs on the cloud. You can open the screen any time on anydevice to watch it or take the control back or guide it.

Why I built it: my last dev tool got to 30k users and was acquired. Engineering was never the bottleneck. The difficult part was that I was also the ops team, and doing invoicing, CRM, support, and follow-ups on top of shipping, it wrecked me. Hiring was the obvious answer but the runway math said no.

If this sounds useful, please do follow the page so PH pings you when we go live. We really want this product to succeed with as much support as possible, we really want to take this full time and build a real useful product for SMBs and solo entrepreneurs like myself.

Happy to answer anything about the build, the architecture, how we manage infra and any quirky question y'all might have.

Cheers 🍻

I upgraded from $20 pro to $60 pro+ plan and had about $150 worth credits remaining in my account. But after using the pro+ plan for some time, I notice I cant see my remaining credits in the account dashboard. Moreover whenever I use an API model, it tells me payment was unsuccessful even though it was cut from the credits earlier, and now I cant use API models, nor see how much credits I have remaining, nor enable on-demand usage to use the remaining $150.
Has anyone else experienced something like this before? What should I do...

Hey guys,

I see so much talk lately about automating intake and document drafting with tools like Clio, n8n, Zapier, and AI. On paper it sounds great: a client fills out a form, AI pulls the info, pushes it perfectly into Clio custom fields, and generates a retainer ready to go.

But honestly, the edge cases seem like they would break it constantly. Like what happens if a client types something weird in the intake? You can't really afford a hallucinated field in this line of work.

For those of you actually running a stack like this:

• Does it actually work without turning into a compliance or malpractice nightmare?
• Do you trust AI to help draft actual documents, or do you strictly keep it to admin stuff like summarizing notes or calendar tasks?
• Did you set it up yourself, or did you have to hire someone just to get the APIs to talk to each other correctly?

I'm trying to figure out if this stuff actually saves time or if it's just endless troubleshooting. Would love to hear your real experiences.

I'm about to board my flight in like 2 hours. It's going to be a 6-hour long flight, and I want to play around with some code while I'm up there.

Which model should I download (has to be under 10 GB)?

Suggest something that will handle some amount of concurrency so that I can plug it into Open Code. Also, it needs to leave room for me to run other stuff on the Mac.

I'm planning on building a web-based productivity app, so I'll need a gig or two of spare RAM so that everything runs smoothly apart from the model.

I was starting to lose motivation on my SaaS because there were no new customers for a few months.

Then out of nowhere today, I get pings on my phone, go check, and baaam — 2 new customers in the same night.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH feeling motivated again.

LFG 🚀

I'm getting ready to launch my product on Product Hunt, Hacker News, and Peerlist. I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos on launch strategies, and one piece of advice that kept coming up was to join small founder communities usually Discord or Slack groups—where builders support each other's launches with feedback, comments, and early engagement.

I've tried searching on Reddit and elsewhere, but I haven't had much luck finding any active communities.

What communities are you guys a part of? Where do you usually share your launches and connect with other founders?

Since I haven't found a good one yet, I'm thinking about creating my own small Discord or Slack community for founders who want to help each other launch. If that sounds interesting to you, send me a DM I'd love to build a small, supportive group where we can all help each other succeed.

Hey guys, I'm new to the sub!

I'm planning to launch my app on Product Hunt soon, and I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos about launch strategies. One thing that kept coming up was joining launch support groups made up of fellow founders and builders who support each other's launches by upvoting and engaging.

I wanted to ask whether this is actually a good strategy. Is this something that most people launching on Product Hunt do, or could it be considered suspicious activity or gaming the system and end up hurting the launch?

I'm also curious if any of you are part of these groups. If so, how do you typically find and join them?

I'd love to hear about your experiences and any advice you have before I launch.
