No more seven fingers

AI images crossed the line

gm legends, happy Wednesday.

ChatGPT Images is getting a little too real, Skyty turns your flight into a live cockpit view (for the aviation nerds), and Cai Layer is here for anyone tired of copy-pasting into AI all day.

Images that finally listen

ChatGPT Images 2.0 is OpenAI’s updated image model with a built-in reasoning step. It plans before generating, which means better layouts, cleaner text, and more consistent results when you ask for something specific like UI, posters, or multi-step scenes.

🔥 Our Take: We all knew it was coming. An AI image model that solves all the tell-tale signs of AI images. The text looks good, layout holds together, lighting isn’t overly polished. We’ve officially entered the Twilight Zone.

Flight data, without the guesswork

Skyty turns your phone into a mini flight instrument. It shows your actual altitude above the ground, speed, heading, nearest airport, and ETA — all calculated on-device using GPS and NASA terrain data. No internet, no flight number, no tracking.

🔥 Our Take: This is the kind of thing that goes hard for aviation nerds (me). Yeah, sure I could watch a movie or whatever, but why would I when I can obsess over altitude, speed, and distance to destination while sipping some questionable economy-class coffee.

Track it live

If your AI product has an onboarding step that says "tell us about your business" — your users are lying to you. Not maliciously. They just write whatever sounds good in the moment, skip half the fields, and click next.

Brandfetch's Brand Context API gives you structured brand data for 50M+ brands in a single call: voice,mission, positioning, audience, competitors, all of it. Pre-fill your onboarding before the user types a word.

Ground your AI features so they stop hallucinating about the brands your LLM barely knows. It's the scraping pipeline most teams never get around to building, already built. 100 free calls, no credit card.

Try the API

AI, right where your cursor is

Cai Layer is a local-first shortcut layer for your Mac. Highlight anything, hit ⌥C, and you can run prompts, trigger actions, send it somewhere else, or plug it into whatever workflow you’ve set up. No switching tabs, no accounts, no cloud.

🔥 Our Take: This is for people who are tired of copy-paste being the main interface for AI. You’re already looking at the thing, just act on it and keep moving.

Stop copy-pasting

FROM THE FORUMS

Apple killed the referral loop

Orhan (OptiClear) shared he had to remove his referral system to get through App Store review. The feature gave users free premium time for inviting friends, which Apple flagged as unlocking paid features outside IAP.

The takeaway was pretty blunt. If growth depends on bending Apple’s rules, it is not going to last. Most replies leaned toward either moving that logic off-app or just dropping it entirely.

Good thread if you’ve ever built something you knew Apple would side-eye.
