Imagine Spotlight with superpowers... That is what Stepsailor's AI Command Bar is aiming for. Let your user describe what they want to do, and the command bar will automatically run the required actions within your product. No need for prompt engineering.
Hey people! I am Pascal, technical co-founder of Stepsailor. I gotta say... launching this product... even having the idea of building this wasn't an easy road. In fact, there is a small graveyard of products that haven't made it to Product Hunt.
So here I am, launching my first hunt! I realised today's products all turn out to be chat interfaces. And there is a good reason for that. Language is a powerful user interface. Essentially, there is no onboarding required since you only have to explain the gist of it so the user knows what to ask.
But there are many different kinds of products out there. Visualisations will always have a spot. But buttons and input fields surely will look different in the future.
When developing products in reality, you don't want to learn or hire another specialist that creates a chat interface that controls your product. You want to focus on the core value of your product... the business logic, and make it accessible quickly.
So I want to bring AI into SaaS products in the right way. DX first and simple APIs. Control over what model is used and where it's located.
This really feels like the future of handling daily tasks—no more endless clicking through menus. Not everyone wants to build complex workflows with n8n or rely on AI agents just to get things done. Sometimes, a focused tool like AI Command Bar is simply the better, more practical solution.
Again, congrats on the launch, Pascal!
Big congrats on your first launch, Pascal! 🎉
The idea behind Stepsailor and the AI Command Bar really resonates — not every product should be reduced to a chatbot. Giving devs a dead-simple way to integrate AI with thoughtful DX and model flexibility feels like the right move in a landscape that’s drowning in rigid AI wrappers.
Love that you’re thinking about how AI should show up in SaaS — not just that it should. Looking forward to seeing how this evolves beyond the Command Bar. Keep sailing forward — you’ve already crossed the hardest part 🚀⚓
Super cool! I liked the way you were able to follow along as the AI plans and completes each step! :)
Does it work as well when performing thousands of actions in a row as it does when performing <10 like in the video?
The SDK syntax looks very clean, I could see this being implemented in <1h for smaller workflows ;) Looks great @pascal_lohscheidt1! Gotta try this for a client project's admin interface soon ;) From your experience: How detailed do the tool descriptions have to be for the AI to pick up on them and utilize them correctly? Especially for more complex use-cases
I got to test this product early, integrating it into an internal admin tool. It’s wild how easy it is to plug in and how powerful it is at wiping out repetitive click-click-click grunt work from the user journey.
It’s a killer combo: this AI bridges natural language with deterministic actions, keeping humans in the loop but automating everything that doesn’t need a brain. Defining these actions is dead simple and completely framework-agnostic. I tried it in an old React app using Redux, and it just worked.
Bringing AI into saas products in a simple and controlled way is a great idea. It's got huge potential. Curious to know more about the AI command bar. Is it easy to integrate? And can users choose different AI models as well?
Congrats on the launch!
Congrats on your first Product Hunt launch, Pascal! 🎉 Really respect the journey—and the persistence it takes to ship. You're absolutely right: language as a UI is powerful, but integrating it meaningfully into SaaS without losing control or adding complexity is still a huge gap. Stepsailor feels like a thoughtful solution for devs who want to keep focus on core value while still enabling intuitive, AI-driven interfaces.
How customizable is the AI Command Bar in terms of commands, branding, and model choice?
