Hi Product Hunt 👋 We’ve been looking forward to this day for over one year. Ever since we wrote our first line of code. Melon grew from my own experience as a young professional, whose appetite for growth and development quickly outgrew what the market had to offer. I went from engineering school to trading to tech - each time learning new skills through podcasts, articles, Twitter etc. And that’s the reality for so many other ambitious young professionals out there. In a job market like we have today, career flexibility has never been more important. So I asked myself: how can we get the most of what’s available? How can we start connecting the dots from all the content we consume daily? How can we make our digital diet a powerful tool for upskilling? I have tried all types of fancy bookmarking apps. But I still struggled to put what I learned to use and formulate my ideas. I needed something different. Meet Melon: your true ‘Brain Twin’ - a thought partner that helps you connect the dots and apply your learnings in everyday life. Ask your brain anything about everything that you saved - from writing thought-provoking tweets based on your recent learning to summarise what you know about topics that you’ve been upskilling in. Today, we’re shipping a whole bunch of features. Here are the headlines: - seamless feed your brain with content and insights from any source - discover and retrieve insights that connect the dots between what you’ve read or listened to - proactively recall conclusions and use them to generate content - capture good ideas wherever, whenever, with Melon for Desktop and iOS Give it a spin. Then let us know what you think below. Product development is never finished. But we’re betting you’ll love it. We’ve already built up a community of thousands of entrepreneurs, engineers, designers, marketers…all using Melon to push their thinking forward. Thank you for the support so far! Sanne

@laurynasgailius thank you!! Happy to hear that the sneaky shoutout worked ;)

Love my AI learning companion and the product looks amazing so easy to use!
Sanne Fouquet
@rebeckaryda we're obsessed too!

🧐 Good find
The landing page still looks a bit confusing even though I like the idea behind Melon @sanne_fouquet1
Sanne Fouquet
@phil_co thank you! Excited for you to try it out. What do you think it missing in the landing page?

Interesting project! Good luck
Tim Ang
@halina_makeeva we'll take it! Thanks Halina!

Super excited to have witnessed the evolution of your product, congrats on the launch! Indeed, it's about time we made scrolling and consuming all this ~cOnTeNt~ actually work for us. Will you consider having Melon also surface knowledge without having to prompt it? Say, could Melon scan the content I've bookmarked every so often and alert me of interesting insights that connect the dots and generate inspiration?
Tim Ang
@annmj haha. Content. All the content. Good thinking - we've implemented certain elements of that in this release. Your brain twin is already able to proactively remind, synthesize and suggest, just like you mention. But there's a load more exciting features we'd like to build - we're working on them

@madeline_lawrence We couldn't agree more.
Frazer Anderson
The entire concept is so intuitive and I’m enjoying playing around with it. Loving melon!
Tim Ang
@frazer_anderson we're glad you think so Frazer. It makes so much sense to us, our early users, and, from the feedback we're receiving today, many others. Excited to see what you start learning with it.
Sanne Fouquet
@frazer_anderson so happy to hear! I hope it helps push your thinking forward.
Paul Elijas
Congrats on the launch! Been awesome to watch your journey :)
Sanne Fouquet
@elijas thank you! It's been great to have you with us
Congratulations on the launch! Wishing you growth and good luck

@alex_egorov We appreciate that Alex. We'll be back here before you know it with our next launch.
Kevin David Lösch
Congratulations on the launch! Looks like you’re really carving out a niche. What sets you apart from the crowd?
Sanne Fouquet
@kevin_losch great question! Connecting the dots: Instead of focusing on capturing individual content pieces, we prioritize connecting the dots across diverse learnings. We believe true understanding emerges from this interconnectedness. Melon's Role: We envision Melon not just as your 'second brain', but as an active, intelligent ally that continuously challenges and propels your thinking forward.

A well-presented second brain concept — I love it!
Sanne Fouquet
@rifqisenotion thank you! Can't wait to hear what you think.
Andreas Møller
Amazing platform! Great to see you launch on PH!!!
Tim Ang
@andreas_toddle it's been a long time coming. So proud to see our community thriving like this!
Michael Milstead
Cool! Curious to know, as the data fed into my second brain grows, how are you dealing with context limit? Maybe each "collection" is its own "context"? Is there a limit on information in a collection that my second brain will "know about", and beyond that it may start to forget things? Or are you doing something behind the scenes so that doesn't matter? Thanks!
Sanne Fouquet
@milst it's a great question! The chat is powered by a number of different sequences, one of them being a process that breaks all your content into smaller chunks. A search algorithm then finds all relevant text chunks and feeds them into AI which generates the answer to your question. So for example, this morning I asked it to tell me "What do I know about Gen-Z approach to learning?" ahead of a meeting that I had. It was then first searching for all relevant text snippets in my "brain" (eg across everything that I ever saved) and giving an answer based on these. I think we might add some type of time component in the future though, as the brain grows and it might make more sense to at least give more weight to recently acquired knowledge..

Is there a video where I can see it work in action?
Tim Ang
@sentry_co we're collecting some of the coolest user journeys following this launch to share with the community. Check back soon.
Sanne Fouquet
@yashthakker thank you!
Samuel Lake
I love this concept, I'll be giving this a go. Do you have to manually send all the content you want it to have access to to it? Or will it remember articles ect. that you read without manual involvement?
Sanne Fouquet
@sam_drotar appreciate your support! As of now, the process is manual. The reason for this is we aim to give you complete control over what your Melon Brain Twin is learning. Automating the process could lead it to absorb content you might not necessarily resonate with or value, even if you just casually browse through it.. Excited to hear what you think about the product!!

I can confidently say that Melon is the ultimate app for organizing your digital life. Its collections and features are unparalleled in their ability to enhance productivity and streamline workflows.
Rajat Dhamija
Now thats how you bring AI to good use. Good work guys.
Tim Ang
@rajat_dhamija we're on the same page, Rajat. Our users have told us time and time again that they're struggling to put the content they're drowning in to good use. Well, with Melon we want to counter this with AI. Looking forward to hearing how you make use of the platform.
Daniel Feles
I love the unique branding and clean UI. It is a bit hard concept and I couldn't understand, what it actually does in 10-20 seconds, which I think is important in an app focusing on learning. I am still happy to give it a shot!
Sanne Fouquet
@dfeles thanks for your feedback! We'll take this into account for our next launch 🚀
