πŸ«‚Your own AI team, no code needed

Eigent is a new app that lets you build a squad of AI agents to handle work tasks for you β€” like NPCs, but productive. Think of it as a plug-and-play stack of paid neural networks, working for you in the background.

πŸ”Έ Set up custom AI workflows without writing code
πŸ”Έ Agents take on tasks like cleaning files, reading PDFs, and crunching data
πŸ”Έ Handles everything from accounting to market research
πŸ”Έ Use cases include: sorting downloads, processing lab results, parsing CSVs for finance
πŸ”Έ Feels like Zapier meets AutoGPT β€” but actually usable

This isn’t just another AI toy β€” it’s a quiet power-up for anyone drowning in digital busywork.

πŸ’°Why an AI engineer turned down $1.5B from Zuckerberg

In his bid to build the ultimate AI dream team, Mark Zuckerberg reportedly offered ex-Meta engineer Andrew Tulloch a staggering $1.5B deal to return β€” a 4-year package of salary, equity, and performance bonuses.

But Tulloch said no❕

πŸ”Έ He currently owns 3.75% of his AI startup, Thinking Machines
πŸ”Έ Based on current market buzz, that stake could be worth $3B in the next round
πŸ”Έ Turning down $1.5B wasn’t irrational β€” it was mathematical
πŸ”Έ Now it’s a race: will Thinking Machines hit IPO before the AI bubble deflates?

Zuck offered a fortune. Tulloch bet on more.

πŸ“£ Bezos on the power shift from marketing to product

In a 2012 interview, Jeff Bezos predicted a major change in how companies should think:
Word-of-mouth is more powerful than it has ever been before.


He argued that the old playbook β€” 70% marketing, 30% product β€” was dying.
In the past, you could win with a mediocre product if your marketing was strong enough.

But in the age of social media and instant feedback?
If I build a great product or service, my customers will tell each other.


Bezos’ takeaway: focus relentlessly on product. In a world where people talk, quality sells itself.

πŸ” ChatGPT agent controls live cam, finds boat on request

A ChatGPT-powered agent was given access to a public webcam overlooking a marina β€” and asked to locate a specific boat.

It moved the camera, zoomed in, scanned the docks… and found it.

The line between digital agents and physical tasks is getting thinner by the day.

πŸ§ͺ PlayerZero is building an immune system for your code

Most tools try to speed up developers. But bottlenecks often sit elsewhere β€” like in QA. That’s where PlayerZero steps in: AI agents that detect and fix bugs before production, trained on your repo’s history.

πŸ”Έ Learns from past incidents, patches, and test cases
πŸ”Έ Suggests auto-fixes directly in pull requests
πŸ”Έ Designed for complex monorepos and legacy systems
πŸ”Έ Hooks into CI/CD in minutes
πŸ”Έ Used by teams like Zuora to monitor billing infra
πŸ”Έ Just raised $15M from the likes of Databricks' founder and Vercel’s CEO

Fun fact: the founder demoed it to the creator of Next.js β€” who didn’t believe it at first, but then invested.


While tools like Cursor’s Bugbot chase AI code review, PlayerZero goes for the full loop: detect β†’ explain β†’ fix.
And they’re betting on enterprise complexity as the wedge.

QA might be the next frontier for AI agents.
If devs write fewer bugs β€” and agents catch the rest β€” what’s left for the human tester? πŸ€”

πŸ’³ The hidden history behind modern card payments

Before Apple Pay, Stripe, or embedded checkout, there were paper vouchers, magnetic stripes, and punched cards. This short timeline shows how payments evolved β€” from forgotten wallets to biometric tokens.

πŸ—“ From 1914 to 2024:

πŸ”Έ 1914 β€” Western Union issues the first metal β€œbuy now, pay later” cards
πŸ”Έ 1949 β€” A forgotten wallet inspires the birth of Diners Club
πŸ”Έ 1958 β€” AmEx launches a paper card, replaced by plastic in 1959
πŸ”Έ 1967 β€” Barclays rolls out the first ATM in England
πŸ”Έ 1974 β€” The smart card is patented in France
πŸ”Έ 1979 β€” Visa introduces the magnetic stripe reader
πŸ”Έ 1983–84 β€” Holograms become standard to prevent fraud
πŸ”Έ 1990s β€” Chip & PIN and global EMV specs transform card security
πŸ”Έ 2007 β€” Contactless payments go live
πŸ”Έ 2023 β€” Mastercard announces a shift to biometrics and tokenization by 2030

From punched cards to payment tokens, this is what 110 years of financial UX looks like.
