We’re launching two new newsletters! 

Our new productivity newsletter will help you become more efficient in just 15 minutes, and our AI newsletter will cover everything you need to stay on top of the space. 

OpenAI President and Co-Founder Greg Brockman says they’re now piloting ChatGPT Plus: “a $20/mo subscription for faster response times and reliability during peak hours.” Will you pay for ChatGPT?

What about Twitter? From February 9, Twitter will no longer support free access to the Twitter API — a major let down for the makers who build your favorite Twitter tools.

In a word, Stripe.

We’ve been discussing which companies might still IPO this year despite the economic climate, and last week we found out that for Stripe *it might really happen.* The company has set a 12-month deadline to go public through a direct listing, or it will allow employees to sell shares in private-market transactions.

And just like that, January’s (almost) over. How are you tracking against the goals you set a month ago? If you could use a little booster shot, we’ve rounded up the top 10 productivity tools you should know about in 2023.

Listen up, AI’s about to drop a new album.

In today’s newsletter: recent developments in AI-generated music and what they might mean for artists. 

Recently, Twitter banned third-party clients and effectively ended beloved products like Tweetbot in an instant. Fortunately, Twitterbot’s makers decided to pivot using their 10 years of experience building the award-winning product. Enter: Ivory, the new Mastodon client.

Congratulations to all the winners, runners-up, and nominees in the 2022 Golden Kitty Awards. It's an honor to recognize and celebrate the amazing achievements of so many makers. Until next year!

Words still have power. Wordle might not be blowing up your feed anymore, but Merriam-Webster took a page out of The New York Times’ book and acquired Quordle.

Start your week off with four Wordles at once.
