LEAKED: Facebook’s new video chat app 😳🔥
This newsletter was brought to you byElevenLabsLEAKED: Facebook’s new video chat app 😳🔥
This morning TNW’s Matt Navarra uncovered Facebook’s rumored video chat app, Bonfire. 🔥
Like Houseparty, open the app to instantly jump into a live video chat with friends. Unlike Houseparty, it includes ridiculous and silly Snapchat-like face filters.
While brand new, Bonfire essentially launched inside of Facebook Messenger late last year (#3 most upvoted product for the day). This is yet another example of Facebook’s unbundling strategy, using well-trafficked apps like Facebook proper and Messenger to test new ideas before splitting them out into independent apps.
What's next? A dedicated Facebook TV app to compete with YouTube? Add your predictions here. 🔮

As expected, Apple launched the most advanced iPhone ever created.
Along with the iPhone X, pronounced "ten", Apple also came out with the new iPhone 7s (pronounced "iPhone 8"), a 4K TV, a gorgeous cellular Watch, and a new product called AppleJuice (pronounced "AirPower"), that will charge your iPhone, AirPods, and Watch together. That's right, no more cables.

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.
