Extracted live via the executor SDK.

• get_categories

  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_products

  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", "top open source [topic] tools", "best free [topic] apps", "best paid [topic] tools". - Args: category_slug (required, use get_categories when you need to discover valid slugs), order (highest_rated or recent_launches), open_source (boolean), pricing ("free", "free_options", or "payment_required"), limit. - Returns: Products with names, ratings, taglines, categories, and links in an interactive carousel.

• find_alternatives

  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.

• get_product_profile

  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.

• search_launches

  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", "open source products launched this week", "free AI tools", "paid AI tools launched recently". - Args: query (text search), category_slug (preferred over query; use get_categories to discover valid slugs), days_ago (default 30), yc_only (boolean), open_source (boolean), pricing ("free", "free_options", or "payment_required"), limit. - Returns: Recent launches with date, makers, ratings, YC status, and links in an interactive carousel.

• semantic_product_search

  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.
