Product Hunt

Find alternative products to a given product.

• When to use: The user asks to find alternatives to a specific product like "alternatives to [product]", "apps like [product]", "[product] competitors", "what can I use instead of [product]?", or wants to compare similar products.
• Args: product_name (required), order (highest_rated, most_relevant, or recent_launches), tags (e.g. "free", "open-source", "ai"), limit.
• Returns: Similar products with ratings, categories, and relevance scores in an interactive carousel.

List all available Product Hunt categories with their slugs.

• When to use: When you need to find the right category_slug for get_products or search_launches, or when the user asks what categories Product Hunt has, or wants to browse available topics.
• Returns: All searchable categories organised by parent/child hierarchy with slugs. Use the slug values directly in get_products(category_slug) or search_launches(category_slug).

Get detailed information about a product including description, makers, categories, social links, pricing, ratings, review highlights, and credibility signals like YC backing, funding, founded date, and team size.

• When to use: "tell me about [product]", "what is [product]?", "who made [product]?", "give me info on [product]", or wants a comprehensive overview of a specific product.
• Args: product_name (name or slug).
• Returns: Full profile with reviews, rating, sentiment, and credibility details.

Get top-rated or recently launched products in a Product Hunt category.

• When to use: The user wants to see the best products in a topic like "best [topic] tools", "top [topic] apps", "find me a [topic] app".
• Args: category_slug (required, use get_categories when you need to discover valid slugs), order (highest_rated or recent_launches), limit.
• Returns: Products with names, ratings, taglines, categories, and links in an interactive carousel.

Search recent product launches on Product Hunt.

• When to use: The user asks "what's new?", "latest AI launches", "trending products this week", "new tools launched today", "what launched on Product Hunt recently?", "new YC startups".
• Args: query (text search), category_slug (preferred over query; use get_categories to discover valid slugs), days_ago (default 30), yc_only (boolean), limit.
• Returns: Recent launches with date, makers, ratings, YC status, and links in an interactive carousel.

Search Product Hunt products by natural-language topic or use case using vector similarity.

• When to use: The user describes what they want without naming a category or product, e.g. "tools for managing claude code sessions", "AI that summarizes meeting notes", "self-hosted analytics for small teams". Prefer get_products when the user asks for a category, and find_alternatives when they name a specific product.
• Args: query (required, free-form description), limit (default 6, max 8).
• Returns: Semantically similar products with ratings, categories, and relevance scores in an interactive carousel.
