Stop doing Product Hunt by hand
The Product Hunt tasks you repeat (open the leaderboard, read products and upvotes, open a product) are exactly the kind of work a computer should do. But Product Hunt only exposes part of it through an API, and the flow runs behind a login and dynamic pages. Product Hunt's GraphQL API is rate-limited; the daily leaderboard and live upvotes are simpler to read in the browser.
Writ closes that gap. Record the Product Hunt task once (or describe it to an AI session) and Writ runs it for you in a real browser, on your own account. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.
Product Hunt tasks Writ can run for you
Each of these is a real Product Hunt action, captured into a workflow and run on your own account.
Workflows extract structured fields such as product name, upvotes, comment count, maker along the way: typed data you can route anywhere.
Three ways to build your Product Hunt automation
Pick whichever fits the task. All three produce the same workflow Writ can run for you.
Built on the same engine as the recorder and workflows, with 30+ step types.
Login, 2FA, and dynamic pages on Product Hunt
The reason Product Hunt is tedious to automate is the same reason most tools can't. Writ handles it.
Product Hunt pages are public; Writ renders them in real Chromium to capture upvotes and rankings that update through the day.
Run the Product Hunt automation on your terms
On a schedule, on demand, or the instant something changes. You choose the trigger.
- 1Build the Product Hunt workflow once
Record the task, describe it to AI, or discover it from the network. Writ captures each step, including login and 2FA, into a workflow you can edit.
- 2Run it on your terms
Run it on demand, on a schedule, or fire it from a Monitor when Product Hunt changes. It runs on your own Product Hunt account, in a real browser.
- 3Call it from anything
The same workflow is a REST endpoint at /v1/producthunt/run and an MCP tool, so your code, a no-code tool, or an AI agent can trigger the Product Hunt automation too.
Trigger the Product Hunt automation on a change
Monitor Product Hunt for new launch in a topic, upvote threshold, rank change and run your workflow the moment it happens.
Monitors check as fast as every 10s (10s on Enterprise). A detected change becomes a trigger that runs your Product Hunt automation in seconds. Monitor Product Hunt ▸
Free on your own machine, or on cloud
Local / BYO agent
No compute charge. The agent runs on your hardware, so it can reach Product Hunt even from an intranet or VPN-only network, and your AI keys never leave your machine.
Writ cloud
Metered by running time at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. No infrastructure to manage.
The same Product Hunt automation is an API and an MCP tool
Automating Product Hunt for yourself and calling it from software are the same workflow. Once you have it, publish it as a REST endpoint at/v1/producthunt/run and a matching MCP tool, so your code or an AI agent can trigger the Product Hunt task too.
