Good morning, makers. It's only been a few days since Robotaxis were approved in San Francisco, but they’re off to a pretty chaotic start. Here’s video footage. 😬
Today:
- Learn to read body language
- Generate hyper-realistic humans
- Use K-pop to learn Korean
I improve, therefore I am
If there's one thing makers can always bet on, it's the inherent human drive to self-optimize. Whether it's improving our circumstances through education, nutrition, or emotional intelligence, the desire to better ourselves is ingrained in our DNA.
This past week, we've seen a slew of innovations from makers — many of them indie and bootstrapped — who are tapping into this timeless instinct. Here's a roundup of 7 new products you can use for self-improvement:
🧠 Clearmind is an AI-powered therapy tool that provides mood-based recommendations, real-time meditation sessions, actionable to-dos, and mental health tracking.
👁️ Menteo App teaches users how to read emotions and body language, aiming to enhance understanding in both personal and professional interactions.
