Display.dev is a micro-SaaS that solves a surprisingly annoying problem in agentic workflows: sharing AI-generated reports and dashboards securely inside a company. Claude, Cursor, and other agents increasingly produce polished HTML artifacts—analysis dashboards, design mockups, research reports—but sharing them means either copy-pasting into a doc tool or using Claude's built-in publish feature, which creates public URLs accessible to anyone on the internet. Display.dev fixes this with a single command: `dsp publish ./report.html`. The artifact lands at a permanent URL gated by Google, Microsoft, or company email authentication. Viewers sign in with their existing credentials; no account creation required on their end. The platform also surfaces inline comments back to the agent, meaning your agent can read feedback and iterate—closing a loop that previously required manual copy-paste between viewers and the AI tool. Pricing is simple: free tier for 10 gated artifacts, Solo at $15/month for unlimited, Pro at $49/month with SSO and audit logs, Enterprise at $499/month for large orgs. It also integrates with Claude Desktop via MCP, making it the kind of tool that becomes invisible infrastructure for teams already deep in agentic workflows. With Product Hunt ranking it #5 today and 134 upvotes, it's clearly striking a chord.

Granola listens to your meetings and enhances the notes you take in real-time. Unlike transcription tools, it combines YOUR notes with AI context — so you keep the human element while AI fills in the details.
Reviewer scorecard
“The MCP integration with Claude Desktop is the real win—publish directly from the agent without leaving your workflow. The inline comment loop-back is clever: finally my agent can read stakeholder feedback without me playing telephone.”
“Clean Mac app, works with any meeting platform, and the notes are actually useful after the meeting. Simple concept, excellent execution.”
“At $15-49/month for what is essentially a static hosting service with auth, this feels expensive for teams who could achieve similar results with Cloudflare Access on top of R2 storage for a fraction of the cost. The moat here is thin.”
“Differentiated from Fireflies/Otter by keeping you engaged in the meeting. You still take notes, AI just enhances them. That's a better model for retention.”
“Agent-generated artifacts becoming first-class organizational documents—reviewed, commented on, and iterated by agents—is a genuine shift in knowledge work. Display.dev is early infrastructure for that workflow. Simple, unglamorous, and necessary.”
“Sharing design mockups or brand reports from agent sessions used to mean awkward public links or zip files. Gated permanent URLs that just work with company email login removes so much friction from client-facing creative deliverables.”
“The hybrid approach is genius — I take rough notes during the meeting and Granola fills in everything I missed. Way more useful than a raw transcript.”
