X is now a bank (kinda)

gm legends. It’s Sunday.

This week: a social media platform with interest rates, five cool new tools to supercharge Claude Code, a founder on why you should focus on doing one thing well, and how to buy and resell tech gear on eBay without getting ripped off.

Read on, legend.

P.S. Launching soon? We’d love to hear about it → editorial@producthunt.co 🫶

If you’ve ever thought “I wish Elon would get into banking,” good news: X Money is here. Premium X subscribers can sign up to get up to a 6% APY, early direct deposit, and free instant transfers via the social media platform.

That all sounds great. What’s the catch?

The catch is that you’ll be entrusting your money to a social platform that doesn’t have much experience in banking and fintech. But, hey, they also build rocket ships, so financial infrastructure seems achievable.

If you’re looking for some payments/online banking/money transfer apps without an X in the name, here are three July launches:

• Agentcard offers pretty much what it sounds like: “debit cards for ai agents.”
• Endl is for people with money in lots of denominations — dollars, pounds, euros, crypto — who want to make global payments from one account. 
• Sequence Agentic is billed as a safe way to give agents the keys to your bank vault, letting them transfer money between your accounts as needed.

 

Anthropic recently released Claude Opus 5, a monster on tough coding tasks that hunters say gets you results close to Fable 5 at half the price. 

Claude is constantly improving, and as it does, developers are getting more tools for improving their Claude workflows. Here are a few from this week:

• SKI, “free voice coding for Claude Code,” gets your agent to answer you out loud.
• Medley/mission for Claude Code, from Spine, is a plugin for when an agent session outgrows itself.
• Prefactor lets you “evaluate your AI agents in real time”—so they don’t drift into failure mode during production.
• Claude Code usage tracking by LangWatch helps you understand your actual spending for every session.
• Memmy Agent preserves project context across sessions, inside and outside of Claude Code.

For about a year we sold a suite. Six or seven modules, and we would walk buyers through the whole catalogue. Outreach sat in there as the entry item, the cheap one, the thing you would add on at the end.

We were also running it on ourselves, because we needed meetings and had no budget for them. It was the only module getting daily use by anyone, including us.

Took us embarrassingly long to notice what that meant. We killed the catalogue. Now we sell one thing.

Two things I got wrong, in case they save someone a year:

• Breadth felt like less risk. More surfaces, more chances something lands. What it actually bought us was that no single thing was good enough for anyone to bring up unprompted.
• I trusted what people signed for over what they opened. A signed customer who never logs in is not a customer, it is a slow refund.

Curious whether others have hit this shape. Did your wedge come from picking it deliberately, or from finally noticing the one thing people already used and cutting the rest?

 

As a developer and hardware enthusiast, I got tired of doing manual price research and calculation every time I wanted to buy or flip used IT gear.

So I built a free browser extension that treats the used electronics market like a financial asset class. It acts like a mini Trading Workstation (TWS) directly overlaid on eBay:

• Real-time Valuation: Instantly calculates the weighted market median price using API data.
• Smart Risk/Condition Assessment: Runs background logic and OCR image checks (detecting everything from pristine chassis to minor wear like a slightly scratched asset tag).
• Instant Margins: Shows you the exact spread, target margin, and whether a deal is a "Green Signal" buy or not.
