This viral AI product just lowered the barrier to entry
Generative AI and video are a match made in heaven lately. Companies like Runway initially set the bar with Gen2. Now, new platforms are trying to raise that bar.
Pika is one of them. It's founded by Demi Guo and Chenlin Meng, two former Stanford PhD students, and Pika just raised a whopping $55 million led by Lightspeed Ventures.
Pika crafted its own foundational video model that lets users generate entire clips through text prompts. For example, an animated Elon Musk in an astronaut suit, which the team demonstrated in its launch video.
Are you really still typing?
Full disclosure: Wispr Flow is the AI dictation tool most of us at Product Hunt (use we still have a few holdout typers, what romantics). Hold a key, talk, and clean text drops straight into whatever app you're already in — Slack, email, Notion, your IDE, wherever your cursor lives. No switching windows. No copy-paste ritual. Just say the thing – yes, you can whisper it – and even your most run-on sentences will be turned into polished writing at 4x the speed of typing.
That's a spicy soup
🌶The latest AI art trend is: Asking for more, yup, it's that simple. Just keep asking ChatGPT to make your image "spicier," "happier," "sillier," and the results speak for themselves.
🐶 Dog lovers, rejoice: Science wants to be the best friend to your best friend. A startup is currently working on ways to ensure your dog lives longer.
