GuestLab gives podcast hosts a head start in research and generates well-crafted intros, exciting topics, and insightful questions from your guest's online presence.
Ayo Product Hunt fam ❤️
3 years ago, I launched my first SaaS product, Shoutout, and I am forever grateful to y'all for supporting me massively. Fast forward to today, I won awards, grew it to $30k ARR, sold it, and am now launching another one. Not sure why, but I'm incredibly nervous and excited, so let's get into it 👇🏼
Introducing GuestLab 🔎
As a podcaster who shipped more than 100+ episodes, I spend hours and hours doing guest research(it's exhausting sometimes 😓). After going through this every week, I thought about building a simple AI-powered solution that could save a lot of time. That's how GuestLab is born 💡
6 months ago, I simply launched a landing page, got 300+ ppl on the waitlist, and started collaborating with Mubs to build the MVP. Since then, many podcasters like @lenny_rachitsky, @arvidkahl, and @mijustin have used it, given feedback, and shaped the current product 🙏🏼
Today, Mubs and I are pumped to bring GuestLab to the Product Hunt community!
GuestLab is an AI-driven guest research assistant built and designed exclusively for podcasters.
How does it work?
🔗 Simply drop your guest's LinkedIn profile
⚙️ Add custom inputs like episode theme, guest persona, and target audience
🤙🏼 Hit generate and sit back
Based on the guest's LinkedIn activity and your custom inputs, GuestLab AI will instantly generate a well-crafted intro, insights about the guest, 10 interesting topics, and 20 insightful questions 🎙️
Bonus feature: Once the research is generated, you can export it to PDF - this is my favorite feature as I can send it to the guest for review or directly print it out for the interview 😎
➡️ What's next: We are grateful to have paying customers before launching it here on Product Hunt ❤️ Based on their feedback, we are working on adding YouTube as a source and cooking many more features!
Lastly, we're offering a 20% discount on all plans to show our gratitude to the community. Use PH20OFF at checkout 🧾
Mubs and I are here to answer any questions; we are pumped to hear what you think about GuestLab - Hit us with your feedback in the comments 🙏🏼
I love GuestLab and use it do do research for my community members and for community events they participate in.
Now everyone can ask as good and as spicy of questions as Sean Evans from Hot Ones 🔥🍗🔥 thanks to GuestLab grabbing all the research you could need for your upcoming guests to spark fun moments and deeper conversations.
Congrats on the launch @5harath! I'm excited to see this go live. Research backgrounds and asking insightful questions is very time consuming. Does Guestlab have applications beyond podcasting? I'd think this could be pretty valuable for prepping for any big meeting.
Congrats, Sharath and Mubs. My question to you, Sharath, is not a technical one but a practical one: how can you find time to put all the work needed into launching cool products like Shoutout, GuestLab, and so on, besides everything else you already do? You are full of energy and always working on something new. I appreciate you! :-)
@5harath Congrats on the product launch!
Would love to have you play poker at the Founders Invitational:

This will be such a time-saver to prepare well and focus on quality interviews. Great work!
I've been using this for my own podcast; it's spectacular. Big congratulations :D
I do my very best to not miss a "Mub's Build" –– so, let's see what he & his partner have been up to! /xB
Congrats on the launch @mubashariqbal & @5harath. No doubt this is a game-changing tool for podcasters! 🚀🎙️
good luck with this launch, I find it interesting how good and facilitating this launch is
Wow, GuestLab sounds like a game-changer for podcast hosts! I'm curious to know how the AI technology behind the tool ensures accurate and relevant information about the guest. Have you considered integrating any specific social media platforms or online databases to enhance the guest research capabilities? Looking forward to seeing how this tool can streamline the pre-production process for podcast creators!
