Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Adnan, the creator of Nemesis.
Let’s be honest: we’ve all ignored polite calendar reminders and muted to-do apps that give us high-fives and virtual badges for doing the bare minimum. Positive reinforcement doesn't always work when you are deeply exhausted or procrastinating. Sometimes, what you actually need is pure spite and real accountability.
That’s why I built Nemesis — an AI-powered goal tracker that genuinely doesn't care about your feelings. 😈
Instead of toxic positivity, Nemesis acts as your custom-built arch-rival. Here is how it works:
Choose your poison: Pick from AI personas like The Disappointed Mentor, The Ex Who Thinks You Peaked, or design your own grudge.
Sign the Contract of Ruin: Declare a single goal and a deadline you'll regret missing.
Daily taunts & Weekly duels: You get daily micro-challenges and AI-generated dispatches tuned to your schedule. Every missed check-in becomes ammunition for your weekly scorecard.
We are officially live! I built this to solve real friction and challenge standard productivity software, and I would love your feedback.
Which villain archetype speaks to your biggest insecurity? And are you brave enough to step into the ring?

funny premise, but genuinely curious about the failure case: what happens after a real losing streak, not just one missed day? spite works as motivation when you're basically fine and just need a push, but for someone actually in a slump, "the ex who thinks you peaked" piling on daily could tip into reinforcing the exact shame spiral that caused the slump in the first place. does the taunt intensity ever back off if you're clearly struggling, or is escalation the whole point regardless of why you're missing goals?
The adversarial angle is fun. I've found tone balance genuinely tricky in my own product, an AI that pushes back reads as either bracing or annoying depending on the day the user is having. How did you tune how hard Nemesis pushes? And does it ever back off when someone is clearly struggling rather than slacking?
The villain voice work sounds like it took serious craft to nail that balance between funny and actually motivating.
how does it actually decide when to send the taunts and can i pick the villain or is it random each time
One thing I'd love is letting me pick which villain takes over after one beats me too many times in a row, or letting me set a cooldown so I don't get the same taunt back to back. The novelty wears off fast when Archduke Volthrax is yelling the same line about my procrastination three days in a row.
A small idea for the team: let us pick the villain's specialty area, like workouts, writing, or studying, so the trash talk feels more targeted to whatever we're actually procrastinating on.
Picked Darth Maul and the daily roasts actually got me to finish a side project I'd been avoiding for weeks. The tone lands somewhere between hilarious and slightly mean, which is exactly the sweet spot for me.
Tried it out for a few days and the weekly duel format actually pushed me to finish a side project I'd been avoiding for months. The villain voice is sharp without being annoying, which I was honestly not expecting.
