AI is your new best friend

gm legends, happy Friday.

Here’s today’s lineup: SIMA 2 drops in looking less like a model update and more like a new kind of teammate inside 3D worlds; Devpilot wants to handle the annoying parts of shipping that every other AI tool conveniently ignores; and Product Intelligence gives teams a way to stop guessing what users actually do inside their product.

SIMA 2 is DeepMind’s new agent built for 3D worlds. It follows complex instructions, learns from one game and applies it to another, and can chat with you through text, voice, or images while you both mess around in a virtual environment. It even handles completely new worlds without needing hand-holding.

🔥 Our Take: This is the closest thing we’ve seen to an AI that could actually drop into a game with you and not embarrass itself. It learns patterns, connects mechanics across worlds, and explains what it’s doing like a teammate instead of a confused NPC. If agents ever become real co-op partners, this is the first one that doesn’t feel like a joke.

Lapse is rolling back to its original disposable-camera vibe after realizing the social platform play just wasn’t sustainable. Chris Messina shared the announcement and asked the bigger question: is this the cautionary tale for every startup trying to build a social graph out of quick, throwaway moments?

Lapse had hype and nostalgia, but turning fleeting posts into a durable network is a brutal problem. The team chose survival over chasing the next-Instagram fantasy, and honestly, it’s refreshing.

Is disposable sharing just a dead end, or has no one cracked it yet?

Devpilot spits out a working app faster than you can open a new repo. Tell it what you’re trying to build and it handles the annoying parts — scaffolding the UI, wiring the backend, pushing to GitHub, and getting it deploy-ready. No 45-minute ritual of installing packages, fixing versions, or dealing with whatever broke this week.

🔥 Our Take: There’s been so many AI coding tools that have launched just within the past year alone that I barely blink when scrolling past them. Most have one glaring issue for me — they skip the actual annoying part of shipping like scaffolding, hooking up the backend, dealing with deployment issues. If Devpilot can handle that without falling into the pitfall of creating more bugs than it’s solving, it might be one of the few tools that ends up sticking around.

Product Intelligence pulls feature requests out of your support inbox, Slack threads, emails, and whatever other channels your team swears they’ll “get to later.” It groups them, tags them, and shows real evidence so PMs don’t have to hunt people down asking who remembers why something was requested in the first place.

🔥 Our Take: Every team has that moment where someone claims “users really want this” and nobody can prove or disprove it because the receipts are buried in twelve tools and nobody wants to go spelunking for them. This basically forces everyone to stop guessing. It doesn’t magically make you a better PM, but it does make the endless debates way shorter.
