Hey! 👋
We try to balance AI content with useful, hand-crafted sites. Sometimes these worlds cross over, so it was exciting to see 12ft, a site we featured way back in issue #21, feature at #1 on Zain’s list below (in the embedded Tweet).
But here’s the thing: there’s no AI involved. It still seems to use the Google cache, as it did when we featured it over a year ago.
Is there a shortage of actually interesting AI sites to feature? Have we reached peak hype, where influencers are pretending that products use AI? Should we introduce a verified icon for sites that actually use AI? Reply and let us know your thoughts!
If you're not using AI, you're falling behind.
Here are 20 AI tools to future-proof yourself.

Create your own personal newsletter from your news feeds. Digest takes your usual RSS feeds plus info from your calendar, weather app, Reddit and other sources then turns it into a slick daily briefing.

Infinite canvas notes app. There are other apps out there like Obsidian that take an infinite canvas approach, but the addition of real-time collaboration and end-to-end encryption make Deep Notes stand out.

🧩 Cure boredom
Puzzle that gets you to solve a graph by ensuring the lines don’t overlap. A different kind of puzzle that we haven’t seen before!

👾 Get technical
Zapier with code. With most apps and sites trying their hardest to avoid any code writing requirement, it’s refreshing to see a site doing the exact opposite by taking a popular no-code platform enhancing it with code. The speed you can build at on Val.Town is very impressive, though the creators emphasise that it’s not designed for prime-time, high-traffic projects.
