One large step closer to personal robots

Plus black market ChatGPT, mindreading, and peeks of the Universal Translator.

We’re back with another edition of Machine Learnings, brought to you by the folks at Heyday.

Heyday is an AI-powered memory assistant that resurfaces content you forgot about while you browse the web.

A wealth of AI-powered tools have launched over the past several months, and that’s just the start. How do you sort through what’s truly novel from surface-level copies?

It starts and ends with solving actual problems. It’s why we started by connecting all your favorite tools. It’s why we train our own models. It’s why we showcase what’s important to you, not others.

See what it’s like to find hidden connections below the surface. Try Heyday for free today.
