Taylor Swift powered alarm clock

Remember SVB? The startup bank that infamously collapsed earlier this year sending a wave of anxiety and stress to startup founders around the world. Well, someone is making a musical comedy about it. Would you buy tickets? 

You might have read the subject line and thought, “too good to be true,” but no, not only is Tay-Tay going on yet another world tour, but you can now also wake up to a personalized message from her. 

Kind of (you knew it was coming, didn’t you?). Meet Arlo, an AI-powered alarm clock that knows your name, can update you on your calendar, tell you the weather, and even greet you every morning with a personalized wake-up call from some of your favorite celebs. 

Simply submit a prompt, and Arlo will use GPT-4 to generate the perfect wake-up call for you and, from there, will attach one of ten voice clones. So you can wake up to Taylor Swift, JARVIS, and more. 

This isn’t the maker's first foray into fun-orientated alarms either. “Funny enough, this is actually our second alarm app! Our first ever app was YouUp, which let friends wake each other up with audio messages. We went TikTok viral and got some great traction,” says maker Derrick Cai.

So if you want to wake up with a smile on your face, maybe…
