Apocalypse GPT

gm legends! Welcome back to the Leaderboard. In today's edition: An apocalypse proof LLM, a powerful writing companion in your pocket, a tool to create your own podcast co-host, and of course the top products of the day. Let's dive in.

Radio LLM: Off-grid, disaster-proof LLM platform

Radio LLM turns a resilient mesh network into something interactive and smart. It runs a large language model completely off-grid on Meshtastic’s LoRa network—no internet, no cell service, just long-range radio keeping you connected. In disaster zones or off-grid scenarios, it can share updates, connect people, or offer survival tips when everything else is down. The real value here is how it makes communication both durable and intelligent, turning a simple radio signal into a lifeline. It’s kinda failure-proof and a glimpse of what tech can do when it doesn’t rely on the grid.

Steer: A fast iOS native assistant that intelligently improves your writing

What really excites me about Steer is the intuitive UI: you just highlight the text you want to improve, hit CMD + D, and choose whether to correct the grammar or style. Constantly switching between ChatGPT and whatever window you’re working in is a chore. Hopefully we'll soon have dozens of Steer-type AI shortcuts that can correct our grammar, check our facts, and suggest ways to optimize our workflows. Anyway, the cherry on top here? Unlike anglocentric Grammarly, Steer supports any language. J’adore.

Monologue: An AI cohost for your next podcast

Monologue is like having an AI cohost that makes creating talking head videos or podcasts feel a lot less awkward. You describe your topic, have a natural conversation with the AI, and it helps keep things structured while recording everything. When you're done, you can easily clip and share the best parts—no scripting, no overthinking. It’s perfect for creators who need a nudge to get started or want content that feels more human and less rehearsed. The “AI interview” format isn’t totally my thing, but for anyone intimidated by the camera, Monologue could make the process a lot smoother.
