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
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.

One video is worth 1,000 words. So, skip the email and skip the meeting with Loom’s free video messaging.
Loom helps teams get more done with video. And now, Loom AI has learned a new trick: turning your video into a share-ready doc with new AI workflows.
AI workflows help you:
