The biggest innovation since copy & paste 👀

iOS 11 is packed with new features, but the most meaningful addition is taking place behind the scenes. ARKit makes it easier for developers to place virtual objects in real-world settings, bringing Snapchat-like AR tracking and facial recognition capabilities to small teams.

"The future is already here — it's just not very evenly distributed."

ARKit will unleash a wave of creativity, as developers everywhere can now create experiences that looks and feels like the future so many books and films have imagined. So far, we’ve only seen a glimpse.

Adam asked: What's the coolest AR app you can download now?

Giphy's new app brings GIFs to augmented reality, and a 17-year old maker made an app that helps you learn about the solar system from your parking lot. The broader trend is: measuring apps:

It looks like AR measuring apps are 2008’s flashlight apps. AirMeasure lets you measure the distance between any two points in 3D space, Magicplan allows you to create entire floor plans in minutes, and AR MeasureKit will measure anything. 📐

But ARKit can do more than simply measure things. It can teach you to dance and even recreate the Moon landing in your kitchen.

The Future Is Here.

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.
