New from the founders of Vine. RIP Vine. 🌱
This newsletter was brought to you byAssemblyAINew from the founders of Vine. RIP Vine. 🌱
RIP Vine. Last week Twitter announced that the popular 6-second video app that loop indefinitely will be shutting down early next year. A sad day for the internet, but thankfully we have alternatives.
On the same day, the founders of Vine launched a new app! Hype is ridiculous, fun, and a totally new take on live video. Rus & Colin hit lightening in a bottle with Vine four years ago. Could Hype be the new thing that finally takes live video streaming mainstream? 🤔
P.S. Giphy built a tool that preserves all your Vines as GIFs in 1 click. 💕

Build a working voice agent before lunch
AssemblyAI's new Voice Agent API turns the usual STT + LLM + TTS stack into a single WebSocket. Stream audio in, get audio back. ~1s latency, the most accurate speech recognition on the market (the kind that actually hears 16-digit order numbers), and tool calls that stay conversational instead of going silent. $4.50/hr flat. No per-token.
Most devs ship a working agent the same day.
