Here’s some news:

Built by a doctor, this Vision Pro app uses ancient techniques to help you destress
If you’ve been hanging around the internet the past few days, you’ve probably seen people talk about spatial computing. It’s the latest phrase on everyone’s lips – at least in the tech world.
Of course, it’s due to the recent launch of the Apple Vision Pro. Apple’s take on what a mixed reality headset should look like has a fairly seamless experience of blending the real and virtual worlds together.
The Apple Vision Pro launched last week with 600 apps available to download and one of them, Lungy, uses the technology to help you manage your anxiety and stress better.
Built by Luke Hale, an NHS Doctor, Lungy uses ancient meditation techniques like Tibetan singing bowls to guide you through breathing exercises and sound-based meditations. Once you open the app, you will be able to interact with different virtual instruments that float above you to create immersive soundscapes tailored to your relaxation needs.
It takes full advantage of the Vision Pro’s tech by using RealityKit, 360 spatial audio, and hand gestures to build a fully immersive experience that you can regulate to your tastes.
Lungy was initially launched as a mobile app designed to help those with respiratory problems, and the team is currently developing a health device that should take the premise even further.
Lungy is free to download on both your Vision Pro and smartphone and comes with a premium tier for a one-time payment of $4.99
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.
