I stopped dumping every model name in the title after people scrolled past

My early AI titles looked like a shopping list. GPT this, Claude that, Gemini somewhere, “multi model” for good measure. I thought it signaled power. Hunters treated it like noise. They scrolled. I don’t blame them — half the board looked the same.

Model names age fast and they don’t explain the job. If your title is a stack resume, the card becomes invisible next to every other stack resume. What pulled better on EarlyHunt was naming the outcome or the user. “Meeting notes that don’t need cleanup” beat “AI notes with GPT-4o and Whisper” for me, even though the second was “more accurate.”

I still mention models in the body or FAQ when someone technical asks. That’s the right layer. The title and one liner have a different job: stop the scroll for a human who has thirty tabs open. Looking through Product Hunt Alternatives style AI boards, the cards I remember usually describe a pain, not a model zoo.

Practical rewrite rule I use: remove every model token from the title. Read it out loud. If it still makes sense, keep it. If it collapses into mush, the product story wasn’t in the models — it was never written. Add one concrete noun back (the user, the artifact, the failure mode you fix). Ship that.

Also quit updating the title every time a new model drops. That’s maintenance theatre. Hunters don’t re-vote because you swapped the subtitle to the latest release name.

What’s the shortest title you can write for your AI product with zero model names in it — and does it still sound like something you’d click?
