AI is getting insanely powerful — and somehow harder to use. Taku fixes the last mile. It turns the best skills, agents, and workflows into real desktop apps anyone can run, remix, and make their own. Borrow setups from the pros, skip GitHub and setup, or just tell Taku what you want and watch it assemble the stack. The more you work, the more Taku learns what you need — and brings the right tools to you.
Taku is changing how people discover and use AI, the way TikTok changed how we watch video.
Before Taku: install Codex, hunt down the right tools, write your prompts, set up APIs, iterate, repeat. Then babysit the whole thing.
With Taku: the best setups find you. Copy from the pros, done.
I previously cofounded Sapient Intelligence that raised over $22million in seed funding, and assembled a team from frontier labs like, Anthropic, Deepmind, Deepseek etc.
I was building a coding agent at the time and I realized AI wasn't making my life easier. It was making it harder. A new tool every week. New prompts, new configs, new workflows to babysit.
And me? I'm a lazy potato. I want shortcuts. I wanted to copy, or honestly just steal, from people who know their shit. That one lazy thought resonated with more people than anything I'd actually built. So we built Taku.
For the everyday Joe: copy a pro's setup and it runs out of the box. From there, Taku learns from every interaction and recommends the tools pros built for exactly what you need. The more you use it, the better it gets.
For creators: you've pumped out an incredible wave of skills and open-source projects, but getting noticed is hard, and getting paid is even harder. Taku turns your work into user-friendly AI apps and recommends them to people at the exact moment they need them.
Give it a try and tell us how to make it better.

Who hunted Taku AI?
Taku AI was hunted by Zac Zuo. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.

Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
