Audio sharing on Instagram! 😲🔊

⚓️, the emoji-named startup that came onto the scene in 2016 just introduced their biggest update yet. Anchor Videos is a new tool that magically transforms audio files to video, transcribing content into easy-to-follow (highly shareable) text you can listen to (on mute).🔑
Why this is needed: most major social platforms aren’t built for audio-consumption. Sharing a URL to an hour-long podcast on Facebook will rarely convert to direct listeners in the moment. On the other hand, autoplaying videos with mute-friendly captions are #killinit and an effective way to grab peoples’ attention.
Anchor's new tool lets you trim audio clips so you can share a 🔥 minute from an insightful podcast, transcribed with captions. Here’s an example. Pretty slick.✨

So we’re just… talking to software now?
ElevenLabs has been the go-to for voice for a while. Now they've turned that expertise into agents that actually get things done. You set one up, it talks like a real person, listens, responds, and helps handle the task — support calls, bookings, whatever the job is. Not a demo, not a "press 1 for sales" situation. It's ready to deploy. Feels like one of those shifts where the interface quietly changes. Less typing, less clicking, more just saying what needs to happen and letting it play out.
