Top launches

Socap.ai: An AI networking copilot for entrepreneurs

Socap connects to your email/LinkedIn and populates a searchable, shareable list of your networks, so you can make warm intros. In a world full of AI tools that try to do the networking for you, it’s nice to see a tool leveraging AI for what it’s actually good for (quickly analyzing large troves of data) and leaving you to do what you’re good at (seeming human when contacting other humans). 

LuneAI: More accurate code generation directly in your IDE

Lune seeks to replace standard LLMs for coding tasks by minimizing hallucinations with “expert” LLMs trained specifically on certain technical topics. It integrates into Cursor or any other code generation application. As a bonus — you can contribute “Lunes” (models trained on specific docs) and get paid for it!

Lovable: An AI full-stack engineer

Lovable lets you ship apps that come with authentication, data storage, and AI built-in faster than just coding it yourself. How much faster? According to the team up to 20x. There’s no excuse not to ship that passion project now, anon. 

Superchat: AI agents for WhatsApp Business, Instagram, FB, and more

Superchat aims to automate your business messaging by letting AI agents handle inquiries across channels seamlessly. You can connect WhatsApp Business, Instagram, and more. The platform supports over 50 languages and comes with integrations that let you view open rates and response times. 

Vozo Video Translator: Precise video translation powered by an AI pilot

Vozo features a voice clone and lip sync that allow you to fine-tune video translations according to your specific context and preferences. It also supports text-based editing to let you update voiceovers without having to re-record an entire video.

THE BIG IDEA

Avengers, assemble

OpenAI is making moves like it’s assembling the Avengers of tech. First, there’s Justin Uberti, a heavyweight in real-time communication and the creator of WebRTC. After years of redefining how we connect online, he’s now tackling AI’s next big challenges at OpenAI. Whatever he’s working on, it’s safe to say it’ll likely involve revolutionizing how humans and AI interact—or maybe something we haven’t even thought of yet.

And then there’s Caitlin Kalinowski, fresh from Meta, where she was in charge of AR glasses that aimed to bring the sci-fi future to your face. Now, she’s leading OpenAI’s robotics and consumer hardware efforts. Her hire suggests OpenAI might be gearing up for something tactile—robots? AI-optimized devices? Whatever it is, the company isn’t just thinking about ones and zeros anymore; they’re thinking about things you can hold (or that can hold you?).

This hiring blitz isn’t just about picking up talent; it’s about signaling ambition. OpenAI wants to be everywhere—your desktop, your pocket, maybe even your living room. With experts like Uberti and Kalinowski on board, it’s clear OpenAI sees AI as not just a tool but the foundation for new ecosystems, hardware, and ways of living.

So what’s the real plan? A future where AI is seamless, omnipresent, and maybe a little too smart for its own good? Or just the next wave of tools to make life easier for humans who are tired of doing the heavy lifting? Either way, OpenAI’s message is clear: they’re not waiting for the future to come to them—they’re building it.

Overheard in the discourse

The AI granny wasting scammer’s time

"That’s the general vibe of a chat with Daisy Harris, an A.I.-generated granny unveiled this month by the big British phone company O2, as part of its efforts to curb phone scammers. She doesn’t have a badge, or a warrant, or any way to really stop them. But when an unlucky fraudster dials her number, Daisy does have the power to waste unlimited amounts of their time."
