gm legends. Welcome to Monday part two. In today's edition of the Leaderboard, we're diving into: yet another ephemeral messaging app, an AI customer service that can do it all, and a product that fixes Apple's mistake. Alongside that we are also announcing a brand new in person event. Let's go.
Just how the cookie crumbles
Cookies by Waffle: Send exploding cookies to your friends
There was a time when digital gifts were all the rage—Facebook pokes, FarmVille carrots, and those oddly satisfying virtual hugs. Cookies by Waffle feels like a playful throwback to that era but with a modern, ephemeral twist. A cookie that disappears moments after it’s opened? It’s part nostalgia, part fleeting dopamine hit, and honestly, kind of charming. Maybe this is the future of digital affection—quick, meaningful, and gone before you overthink it. Or maybe we’re all just craving simpler, snack-sized connections. Either way… who’s sending me a cookie?
Easy mode customer support
Chatbase: AI Agents for magical customer experiences
Most chatbots are great at one thing—telling you to do something yourself. Chatbase flips that. Instead of pointing you to a help page, it just handles it. Reschedule a flight? Done. Upgrade a subscription? Processed. It’s like customer support without the customer effort. And yeah, AI still has its limits—I wouldn’t trust it to dispute a mystery charge on my credit card just yet—but if it can cut out the back-and-forth, that’s already a win.
Catch some z's
Sahha Sleep API: iOS 18 sleep tracking without a wearable
Apple giveth, Apple taketh away. With iOS 18, sleep tracking without a wearable vanished overnight, leaving developers scrambling and iPhone users wondering why their bedtime insights suddenly disappeared. Sahha's Sleep API brings it back—passive, science-backed, and fully integrated with HealthKit, no smartwatch required. It’s basically Apple’s old sleep tracking but improved, meaning your app’s users can keep getting sleep insights without strapping on another gadget. A win for developers, a win for sleepers, and a reminder that sometimes the best innovations are just fixing what didn’t need breaking in the first place.

Your agents stopped answering and started doing
Your agents call tools, write to databases and move money, so a wrong answer is now a wrong action, which is a considerably worse meeting. Arcjet runs policy before every LLM call, tool call, query and API request: prompt injection, sensitive data, bots, rate limits, spend quotas, and your own rules in Rego on top. It reads the OpenTelemetry you already emit, so switching it on is one environment variable, no code changes and nothing to deploy. Each check also reads the earlier steps in the same workflow, so an agent's tenth action gets judged against the first nine and not on its own. JavaScript, Python and Go SDKs all at 1.0, agent framework guards included, free tier to start on.
