Bored Elon Musk Launches Seed Fund 🌱💰

A message from serial inventor Bored Elon Musk:

Every single day, I receive emails from people asking for help with their inventions and products. I typically ignore these requests because I'm very busy building extremely unnecessary technologies that temporarily alleviate my boredom. But I've come to realize that I'm just one human and I can only scale my time and knowledge so much. It's time to give back to the universe.

With that in mind, I'm mildly excited to share that I'm opening up my wallet and investing in all of you through the Bored Elon Seed Fund.

I'm calling for the world's greatest and worst product builders to pitch me directly on Twitter. One week from today, I will select the best three submissions and their respective creators to receive an early stage investment of five million seedlings of Kentucky Bluegrass in exchange for 0% of their company.

Should your invention be selected, not only will you receive enough resources to cover roughly 325 square meters of dirt, but you'll be joining a community.

Let's make the universe a better place. Together.

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.
