Hello everyone! 👋😄
My name is Tony Dinh. I created TypingMind in 2023 after the ChatGPT API was released.
I initially created the product to improve the chat experience with AI models, using my own API key so I could control token usage and avoid paying a subscription fee.
I launched TypingMind on Product Hunt in 2023, and it was my most successful launch ever! Since that day, the team and I have continuously improved TypingMind nonstop!
It was a wild journey for the past 3 years! We have released more than 213 updates since then, have more than 20,000 paying customers, 4.9 reviews across the board, added many features, fixed bugs, and adapted to the fast-changing space of LLMs and AI agents in general. We also added a team version for businesses that want to adopt TypingMind for their team!
Product Hunt was the kick-off for TypingMind in 2023, and I'm so proud to launch TypingMind again here on Product Hunt in 2026! 🥰
If you haven't seen TypingMind for a while, please check it out again! I promise you, the TypingMind you see today is such a different beast.
If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below! I will be around all day to answer questions and chat with you all.
Thank you very much!
The BYOK and pay per use model is the part I find most interesting, but it also means a new user has to go create an API key before they hit their first real "wow." Do you see meaningful drop-off at that step, or have you found a way to shorten the path from signup to first value?
Great to see @TypingMind - Chat UI for LLMs here again. It’s one of the very few AI tools that I started using years ago and are still relevant today. One of the best AI API shells out there with many built in tools and features.
The Finalize feature (one model reads all branches and merges them into a final answer) stood out to me. Running the same prompt through three models in parallel and then synthesizing the best answer feels like a genuinely different workflow. How long does the merge step typically take?
Congrats on the launch!
The pay per use angle is what got me. We run a bunch of AI tools in our company and subscription stacking is becoming its own cost problem. Trying this with our own keys. Congrats on the launch
Previously, I purchased a lifetime license for the desktop app. Then, they stopped developing the app. Terrible experience. I do not suggest!!!!
Congratulations 🥳 following the journey and using TypingMind everyday for personal projects. Amazing product 🙌
Happy to part of typingmind for 3 years, seen the complete product evolution with continuous shipping of feature.
Thanks for the best work.
Tony! I am glad to see you when I popped here today, and congrats on the success so far
For many tasks, free models are often sufficient. In other words, some tasks need a paid subscription, while others can be handled with free models. Is there a way to combine them in your platform?
The pay as you go part is honestly underrated. I like testing diff models but juggling separate subscriptions gets old fast. Having everything in one place makes experimentation a lot easier.
fork/parallel chat is an interesting addition how do you handle context across branches - does each fork get the full parent context or is it trimmed?
@tony_dinh2 you're one of the most hardworking indie devs out there and your product clearly reflects that. Typing Mind has so many features, many I didn't realise I needed them. Congrats on the launch!
Congrats Tony, I remeber when you lauched the 1st time!
Big fan of your work, thanks for sharing your journey :)
Typing mind with teams is still the best, brain storming , running research with the whole team felt like a beast.
Amazing product tony.
let's go tony ! whats the benefit for company of 5 to use your tool vs standard apps ? do you support coding mode?

Who hunted TypingMind?
TypingMind was hunted by Tony Dinh. 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. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. 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.
