Happy Hump Day! Welcome back to the Leaderboard. In today's edition: a new collaboration tool that you might want to keep your manager away from, a new app that promises to make developers happy, and an AI tool that could make you the next Stan Lee. Let's dive in.
Don't let your manager see
General collaboration: A unified inbox for all of your work apps.
It feels like one of the biggest impediments to getting deep work done these days is nonstop context-switching between different apps â from Slack and Asana, to Hex and Figma, etc â and Iâm excited to see General Collaboration propose a streamlined solution. The appâs âfollowâ feature, which lets you peek into your teammatesâ tasks and discussions, is also intriguing. âFollowâ seems perfect for small startups, but Iâd bet lots of enterprise employees wonât be fans. Who at Deloitte wants their manager to know what theyâve really been up to all day?
Make developers love you
Jam for Customer Support: Record customer bugs with dev logs.
As someone who's been stuck in the tech support loop, Jam for Customer Support feels like a lifesaver. Instead of playing detective trying to piece together what went wrong, you can just ask the customer to record their screen right from the chat. The video comes with all the dev logs, so engineers donât have to keep guessingâor worse, ask for more info. No more endless back-and-forth, just one clean link that shows exactly what happened. Honestly, itâs one of those tools that wouldâve saved me a ton of headaches back in the day.
Become the next Stan Lee
Comic Factory: An AI tool for generating your own comic books.
Weâve seen tons of AI generators that spit out images or text, but most of them feel the same. With tools like Cursor and Claude making it easier to build AI products, the real challenge is finding a specific use case rather than just pumping out generic results. Take Comic Factoryâitâs not just another image generator. It focuses on comics, which are tricky and time-consuming to create. The key takeaway? Donât just add to the pile of AI tools. Find a niche, solve a problem, and youâll actually stand out in the crowded AI space.
