Yesterday was anything but an average Sunday for Twitter. But today is a great day for all of you productivity junkies. We’ve got a few launches we know will tickle your fancy.
It's Christmas morning for productivity connoisseurs
Today’s feed is full of goodies. So many that we hope we get enough newsletter space to tell you about all of them.
An AI Data Sidekick. Since the launch of chatGPT, we’ve seen plenty of interesting use cases. Some are fun but don’t necessarily have any specific utility, apart from giving you bragging rights about the fun poem you generated. Others, like this Sidekick from AirOps, can make your job easier.
The new tool helps you write SQL faster, through natural language prompts. You can ask it “Which campaigns had the biggest drop in impressions in January of 2021” and it will write the code that gets you the answer. It also lets you generate Python code, as well as fix any broken SQL queries.
Cron gets an iOS app. Last year’s Golden Kitty Awards winner in Productivity is lifting the veil off its shiny, new iOS app. After being acquired by Notion earlier this year, mobile apps have been a top request, says Raphael, Cron’s founder. This release will allow Cron users to see multiple time zones, add widgets to their home screens, and auto-merge events from several calendars.
The team is currently giving access to anyone joining in the next 24 hours. Check Cron out.
Finally, Readwise, which you might know as the tool that helps you save highlights from the things you read, launched its own Reader. The reading app lets you save content from all over (“from articles to Twitter threads to PDFs to newsletters to RSS to epubs to... even YouTube”) in one place that you can search and organize.
Which ones will you try out this weekend?
Hapax is a little unsettling in the best way.
It watches how you actually work. The apps you open before meetings, the reports you rebuild every week, the random routines you didn’t realize were routines.
Then it just… fixes them. Builds the workflow, sends the update, drops it where you already are. No prompts, no setup, no dashboard you forget to check.
Use code DEMOPH if your mornings feel like déjà vu.
- AnimalAI transforms your likeness into an animal. Now, this is just getting wild.
- Waverly uses AI and prompt engineering to generate a custom reading feed.
- Instagram launched Notes — short, text-based posts that can be sent to your followers instead of the usual image or reel.
- Sunnyside helps you cut back on drinking without the pressure to quit. You can test it out yourself with the app’s Dry January Challenge.
