AI, but make it messier
Show HN: I created a project management system
AI project app drops to big promises, fake-looking vibes, and very nosy commenters
TLDR: is.team launched as an AI-powered project planning app that wants to put people, tasks, meetings, and bots in one place. But the comments focused less on the product and more on trust issues: the site felt overly AI-written, needed a live demo, and got roasted over stock-photo testimonials.
A founder rolled into Show HN with is.team, a new all-in-one project planning app that wants to replace the usual workplace headache trio of Jira, Asana, and Linear. The pitch is huge: one giant zoomable workspace, built-in AI helpers, live voice chat, meeting notes that turn into tasks, and even outside AI bots that can join the board like co-workers. In plain English, it’s trying to be the place where your team talks, plans, tracks work, and lets robots help out too. Ambitious? Absolutely. Quiet launch? Not even close.
Because the real action was in the comments, where people immediately started poking at the vibes. One of the strongest reactions was basically: cool idea, but the presentation feels painfully AI-generated. That became the thread’s main drag session, with one commenter saying the site looked like “the pure, unfiltered output of an LLM,” aka a large language model like ChatGPT. Ouch. Another asked for the most basic trust-builder imaginable: a read-only demo so people can actually click around instead of just reading promises. Then came the security panic cameo, with someone reporting that Norton was flagging the site, which is the kind of comment guaranteed to make every founder sweat.
And yes, there was also testimonial drama. Commenters clocked the use of Unsplash stock-photo faces and basically said: are these glowing reviews from real customers or random handsome strangers from the internet? The founder tried to calm the crowd by promising an open-source version “very soon,” but by then the audience had already chosen its favorite sport: forensic website gossip.
