Robots are taking over Instagram 🤖

Lil Miquela is taking over. The completely CGI Instagram influencer has over 1.2M followers and featured by Vogue, GQ, and HYPEBEAST.

Her creators are pulling in real money: she's modeled for Lululemon competitor Outdoor Voices and Highsnobiety. The company behind her looks just raised $6M from Sequoia Capital to design the next generation of CGI influencers.

She looks eerily real. 😳

Lucky for us humans, a new wave of Augmented Reality and AI tools are here to help us compete with Lil Miquela:

💅 Wanna Nails (launching today!) lets you try on nail polishes in AR. Buy the perfect shade directly in-app or just snap a picture for Insta. Nifty.

📸 FaceApp uses neural networks to make you look younger, older, a different gender, or even smile, all with one tap.

🤳 Meitu makes your selfies gorgeous. Downloaded by over 1 billion, powered by facial recognition and AR tech.

Or... you can always just use Apple's new Memoji to turn yourself into completely virtual avatar. iPhone X required. 🤓

Apple's Memoji

Highlight

Apple just launched a new suite of tools to kill phone addiction.

Android users, don't feel left out: NoPhone just launched so to kick your phone addiction. It takes over your homescreen and blocks addictive apps. 🚫📱

One mic for every app

Typing is overrated.

Wispr Flow lets you write everywhere just by speaking — email, Slack, Notion, ChatGPT, even your IDE. No app-hopping. No copy-paste gymnastics. Just talk.

Flow edits as you speak, transforming your words into polished writing in real time. The result? Clean, sendable text at up to 4× the speed of typing.

It’s not another writing app. It’s a layer that quietly makes everything you do faster.

Live on Mac, Windows, and iPhone. Android coming soon. 🎙️💨
