😸 Whoop, there it is

Willo ↗ — A companion you talk to while you play WoW

Willo is a little wisp who rides along while you play World of Warcraft, so you hold your talk key, ask about a quest, some lore or where to go next, and she answers out loud in her own voice while you keep playing.

Skysoon ↗ — Beautiful weather timelines and countdowns to what's next.

Skysoon is an iPhone weather app that counts down to whatever the sky does next, so the screen says "12 min till it rains" or "8h 21m till the sun sets" and you don't have to read a chart to decide whether to walk home now.

Mister Blocks ↗ — Take a picture of your LEGO and AI will make a build

Mister Blocks is a website that looks at a photo of your loose LEGO and comes back a few minutes later with builds made from those exact bricks, each one stud-checked, with 3D step-by-step instructions you can turn and print.

ChromePing ↗ — Talk to anyone by phone, in a language you don't speak

ChromePing calls any real phone number from your browser and translates the conversation live in both directions, with captions running underneath, so whoever answers just picks up their normal phone and hears their own language a couple of seconds after you stop.

skuttr ↗ — Type one sentence, get a Reel from your camera roll

skuttr is an iPhone app that turns one sentence into a Reel, so you type "summer in Italy" or "January 1st over the years" and it goes through your camera roll, picks the moments and puts the strongest shot first, with a vertical video ready in under a minute.

We appreciate when a founder can explain the problem and the solution in a few sentences. Here are three new products that launched this week—as explained by the people who built them:

A language app that talks back

“If you're not the type of person who gets hooked on streaks, points and badges, most language apps get boring pretty quickly. … What if, instead of just having a friendly AI tutor, you could also talk to personalities who have their own opinions, moods and interests? Who care less about you and more about themselves. You know, like pretty much everyone else you talk to. That's how Kippy … came about.” – Steve Olesansky

A dead man’s switch for your phone

“A while back I hiked an active volcano alone and realized nobody would have known for days if something went wrong. So I built an app called If You Read This. You check in just by opening it. If you don't, it reminds you before your deadline, then texts the people you picked a message you wrote ahead of time.” – Ryan Mercado

A subscription-finder that doesn’t need your bank details

“We kept finding charges we'd forgotten about: a free trial that quietly became £9.99, an app nobody used anymore, a price that went up without anyone noticing. Every tracker we tried wanted a bank login first. We didn't want to give that to an app. So Subscriptrack works from your email.” – Talib Ismayilzada

Product Hunt x Google Cloud Run is back next Friday, Nov 20, and the theme is Build for Good. Your mission is to make something that leaves people better off. A tool for a cause, a community, a neighbor or a stranger. Big or small, it counts.

To enter, build it on Google Cloud Run and show us how it helps and why it matters. Come ready to go deep on your architecture: your services, your backend and how they connect. Then schedule your launch for Nov 20 and opt in to the contest in the launch scheduler.

Every eligible launch is in the running for a private 1:1 with the Google Cloud Run team, hand-picked by the team itself. Real face time with the real people behind Cloud Run, and direct feedback on what you built.

These well-known companies are back this week with products that build on their mission: 

1. Healthy curiosity: Whoop Humans lets you see how badly your friends slept and neg them about their workout scores.
2. Park it: Taking your own car? You can still use an Uber for that. Uber Parking reserves a spot so you don’t have to circle the block.
3. Someone who wants to sit in on meetings: If you don’t want Gemini listening in and taking notes at your next Google Meet, now you can welcome Claude to the call with Claude Meetings.
4. You mean AI can’t host?: Automattic is best known for making WordPress, but it’s got a ton of brands, including Tumblr and analytics tracker Parse.ly. This week it launched Spacefast to help people who’ve already built the website with AI to actually get it hosted and set up.
5. Hold that thought: TK by Medium is the blogging platform’s “new agentic notebook” for capturing thoughts anywhere—and helping them compound into big ideas.
