Instead of writing long build logs or recording traditional vlogs, my co-founder and I wanted to try something different. We're documenting our startup journey by turning it into an AI-generated anime series. Not for fiction. For real startup moments. Episode 2 follows our cold outreach journey: Finding an ICP Testing different niches Sending DMs Getting ignored Learning what works (and what doesn't) We're treating this as an experiment to see whether AI-generated storytelling can make the process of building a startup more engaging than the usual "build in public" content. The goal isn't perfect animation. It's authentic documentation—with AI as the creative medium. We're still figuring it out, improving every episode, and learning as we go. Would love to hear what fellow builders and developers think about this approach. Could AI-powered anime become a new way to document products, startups, and open-source projects? Feedback is always welcome. 🚀

Johannes Heidecke’s departure comes as OpenAI tries to further integrate its research and safety teams.

Phia, the shopping startup founded by Bill Gates’ daughter, Phoebe, and her friend, Sophia Kianni, is under fire for a practice known as “cookie stuffing,” which helped the product receive commissions and credit for sales it did not actually generate, per a Bloomberg investigation.

You ship all the time. A fix here, a new setting there, a feature you spent a whole weekend on. And your users mostly don't notice. That gap is expensive. When people can't see a product moving, it feels abandoned, even when you're shipping every week. They churn a little faster, they email asking for things you built a month ago, and all the momentum you're actually creating stays invisible. The fix is boring and old: a changelog. But not a changelog rotting in a Notion doc nobody opens. One that shows up inside your app , where users already are. Here's the approach I settled on. The idea: a widget, not just a page A "what's new" widget is a small button or badge in your UI. Click it, and a panel slides out with your latest updates. Users see it in the flow of using your product, not on some /changelog page they'd never visit. You really want three things: An in-app widget users actually see. A public page and RSS feed you can link from emails and docs. A way to write updates in plain language and publish in a click. The one-tag version I ended up building a tool for this (honest disclosure below), but the integration is the part worth showing, because it's the pattern any changelog widget should follow: <!-- Paste before </body> --> <script src= "https://cdn.patchlog.io/widget.js" data-project= "your-project-id" data-position= "bottom-right" async ></script> One script tag. No SDK, no npm install, no framework coupling. It behaves the same in React, Vue, Rails, or a plain HTML page. Two implementation details matter, whether you build one of these yourself or evaluate an existing one: Render it in a Shadow DOM. A changelog widget should not inherit or leak styles. If it uses the host page's global CSS, it will look broken on half the sites it lands on. Shadow DOM isolates it completely. Fail silently. A marketing widget must never break the host app. If the network call fails, it should quietly do nothing. What to actually write in it The tool is the easy part. T

The iPhone maker claims OpenAI encouraged poached employees to bring over confidential presentations, secret prototypes, and key supplier details.

A year and a half ago, I wasn't trying to build an AI company. I was building a small social platform called spritex-social — nothing fancy, just a side project a handful of friends were testing with me. No grand plan, no investors, no roadmap beyond "let's see if people like this." At some point, users started asking the same basic questions over and over: how do I change my profile, where's this setting, how does that feature work. Instead of writing endless documentation, I thought — why not just let AI answer this? So I wired up Google's Gemini API through Google AI Studio, built a small Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system, and gave it context about the platform. It was supposed to be a support chatbot. Nothing more. That's not how it went. I found myself spending more time improving the chatbot than improving the actual social app. Every small upgrade made me ask another question: could it remember conversations? Could it use tools? Could it search the web? Could it do things instead of just answering questions? The more I asked, the less interested I became in the social platform I was supposed to be building. Eventually I had to admit it to myself: I wasn't building spritex-social anymore. I was building something else entirely. So I stopped. Not because the project failed — because my attention had already moved somewhere else, and I finally stopped pretending otherwise. That "somewhere else" became RexiO — a Bangla-first AI platform I've been building solo ever since: my own orchestration layer, an intent classifier, 30+ tools, model routing across providers, and eventually our own fine-tuned models trained from scratch on borrowed Colab GPUs. RexiO went public on July 10, 2026. This chatbot pivot is just one chapter of a much longer story — one that actually starts on a Nokia button phone, ২ টাকা data packs, and a ৳20 freelance job that became my first line of code in production. I wrote the whole thing down, unfiltered — the rewrites, the 12-hour

Affected users will have to configure their lights and settings all over again.

Open source AI is booming, according to Hugging Face CEO Clem Delangue. The company has grown into something like a GitHub for AI in recent years, where AI builders can share and download open models and datasets, now used by roughly half the Fortune 500. Delangue has seen the same story play out again and again: companies start […]

Billed as the “world’s first museum of AI arts,” Dataland uses wearables and troves of material from the Amazon to merge nature, biometrics, and art.

Amid live coding sessions and Silicon Valley optimism, the UN’s AI for Good summit wrestled with an increasingly urgent question: Can global governance catch up before the technology races beyond its control?

The move comes after Simo took significant medical leave. She will stay on as a part-time adviser.

Lyzr, a startup that builds AI agents for enterprises, used its own AI agent to raise a $100 million round — proof, evidently, that the product actually works.

One of my favorite words in the startup and product-building world is pivot. For a long time, I thought a failed project meant wasted time. Today, I see it differently. Every project I worked on—even the ones that never gained users or reached the finish line—taught me something I couldn't have learned from books alone. They taught me how to validate ideas, communicate with users, make technical decisions, prioritize features, and, most importantly, when to change direction. I've come to believe that many successful founders didn't succeed because they had the perfect first idea. They succeeded because their previous attempts gave them the experience to recognize a better opportunity. In fact, I think that if many of them had started directly with the project that eventually made them successful, they might have failed. They first needed the lessons, the mistakes, and the discipline that came from building things that didn't work. I'm still on that journey. Some of my own projects didn't succeed the way I had hoped, but I don't consider them failures. They were investments in experience. Every project made me a better builder and helped me better understand what I want to create and how I should create it. One principle that keeps me moving comes from the Quran: «"Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves." (Quran 13:11)» And another verse that reminds me to stay patient during difficult times: «"Allah does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear." (Quran 2:286)» If you're building something today and it isn't working, don't be afraid to pivot. Sometimes changing direction isn't giving up—it's applying everything you've learned so far. I'm curious: Have you ever pivoted a project? What did it teach you?

The AI firm Anthropic has developed a technique that has given it the clearest glimpse yet at what’s really going on inside large language models as they answer questions or carry out tasks. What they found ranges from the mundane to the unnerving. Researchers at the company built a tool called the Jacobian lens (or…
