Android co-founder launches stunning iPhone competitor
This newsletter was brought to you byGetViktorAndroid co-founder launches stunning iPhone competitor
Android co-founder Andy Rubin just revealed his incredibly ambitious project: to create a phone that is better than what Samsung and (6 months later) Apple can come up with. Meet, the Essential Phone.
It's a high-end masterpiece. With an edge-to-edge display that wraps around the camera, no home button, and no headphone jack technology, Andy Rubin is brining you the latest innovations in the smartphone industry. The phone is made out of a titanium body, a ceramic build, and no logo. If it blows up there will be nobody to blame. Brilliant.
The most interesting part is Andy Rubin's vision: a phone (and an entire device ecosystem) that connect to each other seamlessly. Learn more by watching Andy Rubin's Code Conference interview.

Highlight
Yesterday, a new word launched into existence. It's called covfefe, and nobody knows what it means. Someone should add it next to "Code Ninja" and "10x Engineer" in the the Silicon Valley Dictionary.

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.
