Who built the tech industry? 🤔

Immigrants. We are a nation of immigrants. More than half of all unicorn startups were founded by people born outside the United States. Their contributions should be celebrated and their impact on the economy and peoples’ lives cannot be understated.

Over the weekend we've seen powerful demonstrations all across the country as people congregate in cities, airports, and online with record-breaking donations. Many prominent people have even offered to match people's donations.

In true maker fashion, Alexandre just launched a new site that helps others double their contributions to the ACLU. Thank you to these generous folks. 🙌

Matching Donations 🙏

You prompt your LLMs, why not your speech-to-text?

AssemblyAI’s Universal-3 Pro introduces a new class of promptable speech models—built for real-world Voice AI. It handles domain-specific language, multiple languages, accents, and noisy audio with ease.

Unlike traditional ASR, Universal-3 Pro lets developers guide accuracy with prompts, combining the reliability of speech recognition with the controllability of LLMs—so you’re not stuck fixing transcripts after the fact.

AssemblyAI is opening free access throughout February, and the Product Hunt community is among the first to try what promptable ASR can do.
