Dev Squad: A tool to build developer-orientated communities. 

Dev Squad is like if Twitter and Medium had a baby, dressed it like Discord, and made it for devs. It lets you quickly spin up a community for any sort of niche filled with developers. My hunch is that devs who already have a solid Twitter feed, read Hacker News, and are part of high-quality Discords won’t find a ton of new value here. But with enough momentum and high-quality personalities, it could take off. As with all social media platforms, users — not product — ultimately make the difference.

AI Playlist: Generate a new Spotify Playlist with a prompt

Spotify’s new AI playlist feature is the obvious next step for the hugely popular Daylist feature. The AI-generated daily playlist has for some even replaced their morning horoscope in importance. Now with Spotify's new feature, you can generate a new playlist anytime you want with just a prompt. It’s pretty cool but it kind of sucks the fun out of music discovery for me. I love stumbling on a banger by accident and playing it on repeat until I feel violently ill. I’ll probably stick with Tidal for now.

Imagine logging into a social network where every post you share gets a response—but all from AI followers. SocialAI offers just that: a personal and private social experience where millions of AI-generated users engage with your content. It's like having your own exclusive community that interacts with you without any of the unpredictability that sometimes comes with real-life social media.

While traditional platforms connect you with friends, family, and acquaintances, SocialAI offers a different approach. It creates a "social" internet without humans, allowing you to simulate interactions as if you were engaging with real people but without the complicated, and unpredictable parts of human interactions.

As Chris Messina puts it: "Imagine that you have no friends, but you also use the internet. What if you could build a 'social' internet without humans where you could simulate interactions as if you were interacting with real humans?"

Earlier in the year, Apple lifted the lid on Apple Intelligence — the company’s heavily anticipated suite of AI features. In the original announcement, we got a taste of what was to come with things like generative emojis, Siri enhancements, and more.

Fast forward to today and Apple has revealed it’s newest range of iPhones and along with it some new features that will be powered by AI. Let’s dive in.

The new iPhones come with a new DSLR-style capture button for photos, videos, and settings adjustments. Stacked rear cameras support spatial video for Apple Vision Pro, and the A18 chip.

But the biggest update for the iPhone is arguably its integration with AI. With Apple Intelligence, you will be able to do things like detect real-world objects using the built-in camera, generate text based certain moods, and more easily filter through your photos by using the LLM technology.
