Bangers all day

AI Playlist: Generate a new Spotify Playlist with a prompt

Spotify’s new AI playlist feature is the obvious next step for the hugely popular Daylist feature. The AI-generated daily playlist has for some even replaced their morning horoscope in importance. Now with Spotify's new feature, you can generate a new playlist anytime you want with just a prompt. It’s pretty cool but it kind of sucks the fun out of music discovery for me. I love stumbling on a banger by accident and playing it on repeat until I feel violently ill. I’ll probably stick with Tidal for now.

Reduce the noise

Notion AI: Notion's reimagined AI assistant with universal search

Notion’s new AI assistant is tackling a white whale of enterprise tool builders: Universal search. I love that they’re going after it, even though they’re unconventionally positioned. Slack would be a natural choice — we often ask our coworkers for links, and if SlackAI intercepts those asks and responds on our coworkers’ behalf it could reduce noise tremendously. Google Drive could be a great choice as well (and universal search may be a key component of DeepMind’s Project Astra). But it’s possible the best product, not the best-positioned product, will win here, and Notion seems to be iterating rapidly.

Grow your app with Setapp: revenue, users, & AI

You shipped the app. Now comes the part nobody warns you about.

Billing across dozens of countries. Licensing agreements. Tax compliance. Customer support for users you haven't met yet. And if your app does anything with AI, add provider management and infrastructure costs to the pile. None of that is why you started building — but all of it is now your problem.

Setapp is trying to take it off your plate.

You probably know Setapp as the subscription marketplace — one monthly price, hundreds of Mac apps. On May 21st, they turned toward developers. The pitch is simple: list your app, reach users who are already looking, and let Setapp handle the business layer.

Scammers be gone

NotCommon: A free browser extension that verifies whether websites and social media profiles are real.

If NotCommon can deliver on its sizable promise, it seems like something you’d definitely want to install on your parents’ devices to protect them from fake support scams. That said, the real time legit check feature seems helpful, as long as they keep their database up to date. (Though I’m sure scammers won’t make that an easy task.)
