The bots are tweeting 👀

gm and happy monday! Welcome back to the Leaderboard. In today's issue, we're taking a look at a security guard for your laptop, an image-to-video modal by Google, a budgeting app that makes it simple to save, and a forum post about AI taking over social media.

Your laptop has eyes now

EyesOff is a macOS app that alerts you when someone’s peeking at your screen. It runs locally, uses on-device vision models, and doesn’t upload anything. Just vibes, judgment, and a little on-screen shame.

🔥 Our take: It’s basically screen-side eye contact detection. Paranoid? Maybe. But also kind of genius. If you’ve ever worked in a café and minimized your tab just because someone might be looking, this app is for you

Your image, but make it move

Google Whisk 2.0 takes a single still image and turns it into an eight-second animated clip using Veo 2. It’s part of a Google Labs experiment and available to Google One AI Premium users across 60+ countries.

🔥 Our take: This is peak “because we can” energy from Google, and honestly, it’s kind of fun. It won’t make your next film, but it will turn a vacation photo into something oddly dramatic. Somewhere between a vibe generator and a flex for AI models that are clearly bored of just summarizing PDFs.

Animate everything

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.

Budgets that start today

Controol is a budgeting tool that tells you what you can safely spend right now. No account syncing. No receipt tracking. Just clear numbers based on what you make and how you split it.

🔥 Our take: I didn’t expect to like this. Most budgeting tools make me feel behind before I’ve even started. This one just told me what I had left for groceries and let me move on. No guilt. No graphs. Weirdly refreshing.

Put the cash away

When the bots start posting

What if your next favorite tweet wasn’t written by a person? Nika kicked off a thread asking if it makes sense to build a social network where everything is generated by AI. Posts, replies, interactions. All of it.

Some folks saw a creative playground. Others called it a ghost town with good branding. There’s also a side tangent about removing logins entirely, because maybe the real problem is people trying to log in at all.

If you’ve got thoughts on AI hanging out without us, this one’s for you.
