Today: a chess puzzle where the hard part is remembering the board, something in your Meet toolbar for when the word goes missing, and a voice model you direct instead of just prompt.

Hintly sits in your Meet toolbar and quietly hands you the thing you have forgotten. It defines the terms and acronyms as they go past, fills in the word you are groping for, checks a claim while somebody is still making it, and keeps track of who has just been mentioned and what you have agreed to do. No bot joins the call and nothing appears in the participant list, because it reads the live captions Meet already produces. It is off until you switch it on. The maker went blank on the words semantic search in a work call, could not Google it with everyone watching, and built this instead. |

A lot of the manual work in getting a document signed happens around the signature itself: preparing the document, placing fields, and chasing signatures. Dropbox Sign helps reduce that effort. Start from the templates you use most, send the signature request, and Dropbox Sign automatically reminds anyone who hasn't signed and tracks each agreement's status for you. No envelope caps or overage fees, so teams can plan costs with confidence. (sponsored) |

Memory Chess shows you a position, takes it away, and asks you to put the pieces back. There is a daily board now, the same one for everybody, one attempt, gentle on Monday and harder every day until Sunday gives you one enormous board. The rating only went up before, so everyone slowly drifted to the top, and Bing has replaced it with one that can fall: your number is the difficulty you rebuild about 70% of the time. The dashboard tells you your memory span and which squares you keep losing. He launched it here a year ago, came fifth, and has gone from a hundred players a month to about 1,800. |

Fish Audio Drama 3 lets you direct a line, not just generate one. You mark where the voice whispers, where it laughs, where it stops, and where the feeling turns over halfway through a sentence, which is the bit that usually makes a reading technically correct and still wrong. It handles several characters talking to each other, runs in 83 languages, and the weights are there to download. The thing they are building next is the one everybody doing dialogue actually wants, which is changing a single word without re-rolling the whole take and losing the performance you already had. |
