One of the goals for senior engineers in my organization is to identify and implement AI initiatives.

I'm already familiar with and actively using MCPs, AI agents, plugins etc. While they've been useful, it feels like most people in my company are already working on this.

I was curious whether your organization has built or adopted any AI powered tools, workflows, or use cases that have delivered meaningful business value and could potentially be adapted by other organizations as well.","time":1780422443,"title":"AI Goal: Senior Software Engineer","type":"story"}],[48361292,{"by":"meenabhagvat","descendants":9,"id":48361292,"kids":[48361369,48362786,48427549,48379175,48367217,48378669,48362893,48371926,48361361,48385733],"score":7,"text":"I've spent the last few months researching and categorizing hundreds of AI tools.

One thing that surprised me is that building AI products seems to be getting easier, while getting discovered is getting harder.

Every week, new tools launch for writing, coding, design, research, video, and automation. Yet most users end up using the same handful of products because discovering alternatives is difficult.

I've noticed that users often search for solutions to problems rather than specific products. They want to "transcribe meetings" or "generate presentations" rather than find a particular tool.

For founders building AI products:

How are you solving the discovery problem?
