Remember the Fitbit? It’s been a bumpy road since the granddaddy of fitness trackers was bought by Google in 2021. Since then, the company has terminated Fitbit’s smartwatch lines to push its Pixel Watch instead.
But there’s a new Fitbit on the market: Fitbit Air. The first thing you’ll notice is that it doesn’t have a screen, instead letting users view their heart rates, sleep scores, blood oxygen levelsm, and other metrics on their phone via the revamped Fitbit App.
This brings Fitbit more in line with screenless wearables like Oura and Whoop. Instead of getting bombarded with notifications that you seem stressed and tired, now you can just be stressed and tired in peace.
We noticed a few other wearable hardware devices launching this month:
Everyone’s freaking out about the hantavirus, the deadly illness that apparently travelled via cruise ship and is now all over the web.
So, naturally, someone pulled up a Simpsons clip as “proof” that the long-running animated series predicted the hantavirus outbreak. The show has earned a reputation for predicting world events better than an insider on Polymarket, from Super Bowls to future presidents. There’s even a Wikipedia page dedicated to the phenomenon.
But while many such prognostications are real, many others have been faked, often with AI. Which is why Isha Godboley created Springfield Oracle. It’s one part Snopes, one part Internet Archive, and all open-source and community-verified. The result is a comprehensive resource for validating or debunking “predictions” that pop up on the internet.
(Oh, and by the way, Isha says, The Simpsons never mentioned the hantavirus.)
They kept using words like colleague, coworker, team member. One CEO called it the glue holding their e-commerce business together, which is a lot, but also… you see why. It lives in Slack and plugs into 3,000+ tools, so instead of jumping between tabs, you just ask for the thing. Pull Stripe against HubSpot, check Sentry alerts, spin up a campaign brief, build a landing page, send a report upstairs. It all happens there.
It has already hit top 5 on Product Hunt with 130 comments, is SOC 2 certified, and your data does not train models.One user said it was the first time AI felt like a real coworker, which is either exciting or slightly concerning depending on your week.
Another week, another default model for OpenAI. The company this week released a new model, GPT-5.5 Instant, and made it the default for ChatGPT. According to OpenAI, it’s “smarter, clearer, and more personalized” than its predecessor.
What’s that mean in practical terms? It hallucinates less, can check your math homework for you, and knows how to sort though past prompts and your files to get the answer you are looking for.
Some Product Hunt users are giving it a spin. Here are their early takes:
Wasil Abdal, a marketing and growth specialist, has heard all the advice:
What he wants to know is: What's the one piece of common startup advice you think is completely overrated?
People in the forum are getting some things off their chest, denouncing startup truisms that just weren’t true for them.
It’s a spicy conversation. Check it out.
