gm legends, happy Tuesday.

Asteroid spins up browser bots for your back office in seconds. You point it at a web form or dashboard, tell it what to do in plain language, and it handles everything, from filling quotes to pulling invoices and even dodging CAPTCHAs. No coding, no endless Zapier hacks, just an agent that never takes lunch.

🔥 Our Take: Anyone who’s wasted hours on data entry will feel this launch in their soul. Picture your operations manager wiping away tears of agony as Asteroid cranks out quotes at 20x speed. It won’t beat a Midtown blackout or an impossible login flow, but for the day-to-day grind it’s the closest thing to giving your intern superpowers.

Stop begging for AI to notice you and start acting like it’s just another customer. Lindsay Amos lays out a playbook so straight it hurts:

First, find the places your buyers actually hang out, such as Slack, Discord and niche forums, and speak their language. Drop the buzzwords. If you can’t explain what you do in five words or less, you’re invisible.

Next, build channels you own, like a paranoid newsletter, mini-podcast or private Discord, and feed reporters real stories they can’t ignore instead of pitching press releases nobody reads.

Indy AI by Contra lives in your browser. It scans your LinkedIn and X feeds, filters out the noise, and surfaces only the gigs that actually match your skills. No extra apps, no endless scrolling.

🔥 Our Take: Hunting freelance work on LinkedIn is like digging for gold in a mud pit. Getting a ping only when something worth your time shows up changes the game. You’ll still see a weird lead now and then but that just keeps the hunt entertaining.

AI Thing stays off the record until you say so. It scans your screen on demand, understands spreadsheets or dashboards, and fires off multi-agent workflows in parallel with zero data leaks. One click, total privacy, no background recordings.

🔥 Our Take: I hit run, grabbed a coffee, and came back to four workflows done while I binged cat memes. It mangled my dates once but that typo felt like a fair trade for ditching endless copy-paste torture.
