AI role-play training for teams - replacing slide decks with actual practice

Every company does training. Almost nobody thinks it works.

Slides, videos, a quiz at the end. Done. Two weeks later nobody remembers anything and everyone knows it, but the box is checked so we move on.

The thing that actually works is practice. Doing the thing, not watching someone explain the thing. The problem is practice is expensive - it requires time, a trainer, and someone willing to play the other side of an uncomfortable conversation.

So we made the AI do it.

You write the scenario. Your team talks to the AI. It can be a difficult client, a sales call, an internal procedure, an onboarding situation - whatever your team actually needs to get better at.

We call it Socratize.io. MVP is live.

Does this resonate with anyone here, or is corporate training just something people complain about but never actually fix?

Questions to ask a fund administrator before signing, what am I missing?

Going through diligence on three fund administrators right now for a $12M committed VC fund and I keep running into the same problem. Every sales call sounds great. Until you sign. So I've been building a list of questions that actually surface the differences between them. Here's what I have so far. Please tell me what I'm missing because I'd rather get this right than learn it the hard way.

What I'm asking each one: Who specifically will be my point of contact, and how many other funds do they currently handle How are K-1s delivered, what's the actual historical median delivery date the past three years (not the marketing answer) Is partnership tax preparation included in the base fee or billed separately, and what's the threshold where it starts costing extra How are wire instructions reviewed before going out, single sign-off or dual review What happens if my point of contact leaves the firm mid-engagement Can I see a sample monthly investor statement and a sample K-1 they actually produced last tax season What's the price for adding a second vehicle (SPV or fund) versus the first Do you handle audit support if my LPs request one, bundled or extra

What I'm not sure how to ask but want to: how do I tell if they're actually staffed for the work they're taking on, or if they're growing client base faster than they're growing headcount. That's the thing I'm most worried about and the thing nobody will answer honestly. Anyone been through this recently, what would you add?

Scraping tooling is moving from "data extraction" to reliability infrastructure

We're launching ScrapeOps AI Scraper Generator on Product Hunt on Tuesday, May 27, 2026.

What I observed was that.. most scraping tools sell the happy path. The real cost is what happens after that.

Selectors drift. Targets ship new front ends. Anti-bot behavior changes overnight. Someone HAS to debug why yesterdays 96% success rate is now 41%.

We're building around a more production-focused workflow:

  • Schema-based scraper generation
  • Python / Node.js stack selection
  • Live generation progress
  • Output quality scoring
  • Prebuilt scraper examples
  • Developer-first workflows instead of black-box demos

I dont think AI replaces scraper engineers. I think it removes a chunk of repetitive setup and gives teams a faster path to code they can inspect, modify, and ship.

Would be interested in hearing from investors/operators watching the data infra space:

Does AI-generated code meaningfully change the scraping market, or does reliability remain the real moat?

Were collecting pre-launch discussion here: https://www.producthunt.com/p/ai-web-scraper-builder

I Solved near-linear VRP at Amazon/FedEx scale. Looking for advice on how to get in front of logistics-focused investors.

I built a route optimization API that handles fleet planning without zone pre-partitioning. The system scales to enterprise volumes. Have a working demo and a documented paper.

Not sure if this is better framed as a deep tech / infrastructure play or an enterprise SaaS. Would appreciate perspective from anyone who's raised in logistics or supply chain.

I have a demo MVP: demo.vepathos.com

Looks like we have a solid Product, but not sure about strategies.

Hey folks, we have been building a SaaS, apprently a MacOS application, which is an alternative to Granola, but which runs everything completely offline. So, the target audience are the folks who vakue their privacy over anything (law firms, investors, etc). We have been running a closed beta for several months, and we went live a week ago. And without even marketing it, we got around $850 of revenue. We know that this might not be a very big thing, but for us, being devs and having a bootstrapped product is a big acheivement.

But with the happiness, we are now thinking about a scalable marketing strategy and might need investments on it. Any of your valuable thoughts are very much appreciated 🙏

How did you guys started?

For those who already broke into VC, how did you get started?

Mainly curious about the sourcing side and how you built early deal flow. Currently exploring the space so any advice helps.

Finally going to experiment with AI Agents - over the weekend - would welcome how VCs have used Claude pro / agents for their relevant workflows. Not trying to build anything enterprise grade - just experimenting.

Ideas / links / favourite YouTube tutorials are all welcome!

TIA!

Hello! Someone from a company called Union Agency reached out. Strange that the website is called: https://unionmatching.com but the email is hello@unionagency.co, so this feels off.

Apparently started by this guy named Samvit Ramadurgam, and the team name dropping investing in Meta, Airbnb, Uber, the usual heavy names. You can't blame me for being paranoid. I checked the LinkedIn profile, but can you be really sure these days?

In the email, they stated several of my work. They aren't asking for money, only asking to connect us to their clients (so far). But I am curious if it's true. It could be a good opportunity, but it could be a scam.

Appreciate any thoughts...
