Facebook's biggest F8 announcement 😲👀
This newsletter was brought to you byAssemblyAIFacebook's biggest F8 announcement 😲👀
Yesterday at F8, Mark Zuckerberg made it very clear what Facebook’s big area of focus will be: “We’re making the camera the first augmented reality platform.”
Facebook launched a new developer platform for Augmented Reality. The Camera Effects Platform will empower developers to build interactive AR experiences, from “silly” Snapchat-like filters to a futuristic HUD (heads up display) for everything around you. 😳
Also revealed: Facebook’s social virtual reality platform (the reason why Zuck bought Oculus in 2014 for $2B). Our take: it looks like a much friendlier version of The Matrix (watch here).
Lastly, Facebook announced Messenger Platform 2.0. Chris Messina lists out all the new things in his comment. TL;DR: bots are maturing.

You prompt your LLMs, why not your speech-to-text?
AssemblyAI’s Universal-3 Pro introduces a new class of promptable speech models—built for real-world Voice AI. It handles domain-specific language, multiple languages, accents, and noisy audio with ease.
Unlike traditional ASR, Universal-3 Pro lets developers guide accuracy with prompts, combining the reliability of speech recognition with the controllability of LLMs—so you’re not stuck fixing transcripts after the fact.
AssemblyAI is opening free access throughout February, and the Product Hunt community is among the first to try what promptable ASR can do.
