Take back your eyeballs š
gm friends and welcome back to the Leaderboard. in today's issue, we're diving into Amazon's new AI that shops for you, an app that makes logging off profitable, and an AI that cures your Déjà vu while browsing.
Amazonās AI now shops for you

āBuy for Meā is a new feature that lets Amazonās AI purchase products from other retailers when it canāt find them on its own site. You never leave the app. Amazon just⦠handles it.
š„ Our take: This is either peak convenience or the final step in letting Amazon run your entire life. The AI isnāt just recommending products, itās checking out on other websites for you. At this point, it might as well be your personal assistant, accountant, and overbearing parent.
Get paid to log off

Dayo is a free app that pays you for using less social media. Keep your usage under 30 minutes a day and earn $5 in credits, which you can spend in its own marketplace of products and services.
š„ Our take: Most apps want more of your attention. Dayo literally pays you to take it back. Itās part dopamine detox, part reward system, and part reminder that maybe your feed isnāt worth your time. If nothing else, itās the first screen time tracker that doesnāt just guilt-trip you.
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.
Your browser, with context

Recallās Augmented Browsing adds an overlay to your browser that highlights keywords youāve already saved in your knowledge base. It surfaces connections to things youāve seen or noted beforeāwithout you needing to search or even remember. Everything runs locally on your device.
š„ Our take: This isnāt about remembering websites. Itās about noticing when something youāre reading connects to something you already know. No more digging through notes or pretending youāll "circle back" later. If youāre the type to highlight everything and revisit nothing, this makes that habit finally useful.
Have an original thought, maybe?

Nika asked which online product categories are officially doing too muchāand the replies didnāt hold back.
AI writing tools. Habit trackers. Social apps with no people. Everyone agrees some corners of the internet are just clones stacked on clones.
Still, a few called out overlooked spacesālike tools for kids, or actually useful learning platforms. Maybe the problem isnāt saturation. Maybe itās originality.
