Everyone’s copying HQ Trivia

"The next big thing will start out looking like a toy." – Chris Dixon, a16z

We have our new toy: mobile-first game shows, led by summer blockbuster HQ Trivia which let millions compete in real-time trivia contests for actual cash. They've since raised $15M and partnered with Nike and Warner Brothers for sponsored games.

10+ competitors have already popped up to compete with sports trivia, online charades, and payouts in crypto. Facebook even spun up a competitor: fb.gg.

But... cash is boring. Burritos are more fun.

Just launched Wednesday, Burrito Time gives away 10 burritos to the first 10 people that open a push notification sent randomly every day. Simple, fun, filling, and guac is included at no extra charge. 🥑

If you don't win, you can still grab a digital burrito pouch for all of your belongings. Don't let your friends take a bite. 😂

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.
