BREAKING: Instagram Live Video 🔴

Instagram has been executing follow fast strategy, borrowing innovations from other popular apps, like URL linking technology, zoomable photos, and more.

Today, they’re launching live video and ephemeral messaging, combining the best of Snapchat and Periscope into one.

The update is rolling out to everyone shortly. In the meantime, here’s what it looks like.

The New Instagram

Highlight

On Thursday we tweeted a challenge, by Friday afternoon Rahul built a tool that turns regular videos into the Snapchat Spectacles format and won. Check out SnapView and enjoy your new found power. 👻🕶

We asked 34 customers what Viktor does for them. Not one said chatbot.

They kept using words like colleague, coworker, team member. One CEO called it the glue holding their e-commerce business together, which is a lot, but also… you see why. It lives in Slack and plugs into 3,000+ tools, so instead of jumping between tabs, you just ask for the thing. Pull Stripe against HubSpot, check Sentry alerts, spin up a campaign brief, build a landing page, send a report upstairs. It all happens there.

It has already hit top 5 on Product Hunt with 130 comments, is SOC 2 certified, and your data does not train models.

One user said it was the first time AI felt like a real coworker, which is either exciting or slightly concerning depending on your week.
