以后AI控制手机应该会成为常态了。
刚发现一个手机端的AI 工具：Airtap @airtap_ai ，
它可以直接操控你的手机，支持云端和手机端配对。
最近更新完IOS系统，手机变得巨卡，想着换个iPhone手机。
于是想让Airtap帮我看下不同款的iPhone手机在不同地区的价格。
好家伙，直接把指令发出去，就看到它对Chrome一顿框框操作。
很快就给了我这个结论：
综合汇率换算，日本和美国通常是购买 iPhone 价格最低的地区；印度因关税较高，价格相对偏贵
与我们日常的印象基本一致，最重要的是它自己去操作Chrome，去查询Apple官网，这个可靠性更大了。
而且想象空间会更大，既然能操纵手机，那你手机上的很多事它其实都可以控制了。
例如去定时抢某某秒杀商品，每隔一段时间去查询最新消息，并不需要我们人为一只干预。
关键是这些都是在手机上完成的，并不需要你带着PC电脑来处理。
整体体验一下感觉还不错，想体验的可以直接去官网：

2026 Pre-Seed and Seed Active VC list
At Right Side Capital, we have made over 2,200 early-stage investments in the past decade and anticipate approximately 150 new investments in 2026. We also assist our founders in connecting with the right next-round investors.
I have compiled a personally curated list of around 200 venture capitalists who ACTIVELY invest at the Pre-Seed and Seed stages.
What sets this list apart:
- All contacts are individuals I know personally (no scraping or outdated databases).
- Their actual investment criteria were provided directly by them this week.
- This is not zombie capital; each has shared their expected investment pace for 2026.
I am sharing this information as an Airtable, allowing you to filter by themes, check investment size/round, and see whether they lead or follow.
If you are a VC I may have missed, please reach out via direct message. I am happy to connect and add you if it aligns.

There're a lot of recent proclamations (including @karpathy) that we need brand-new GUIs for AI. Robotaxis aren't changing car doors for passengers; ordering services from voice-AI should sound just like a great human agents. Better GUIs - always, better GUIs for AI - why?
The world needs better tools like this to empower the creative people. It's hard to replicate creativity, but it can certainly be amplified with the more accessible tool like @Rosebud_AI.
👋 I’m Lisha—if you found me from my Grok 3/o1 to Dune-Minecraft post, welcome! That was a side quest to test frontier llms on Rosebud. My main quest is building @Rosebud_AI so anyone can vibe code games!
👇 Watch how I prompt my way to building a browser based 3D city sim in 1 min (music on 🎹 )! I love experimenting with AI in creative app dev. Too many creative hobbies are gate-kept behind years of technical experience, so I started Rosebud to fix that. Removing technical barriers sparks new game experiences and allows more people to participate in creation.
I’ve seen everything from RPGs, FPS, horror games, sandbox, and various multiplayer experiences built on Rosebud... all by creators who, until recently, never coded. It’s so rewarding to watch users shift from consumers to creators and listen to them rave about the magic of creating their first game.
2 things stand out in Google's earnings report: their internal LLM models are more efficient than DeepSeek; and they are increasing AI capex spend to $75B this year. Still a buy IMHO, but cautiously so.

🌹 What excites me most about building @Rosebud_AI is massively expanding the kinds of games we get to enjoy once it's possible for anyone, not just developers, to make games. 🚀
🙅♀️No gatekeeping of who can be creative with making immersive, interactive content!
The sixth annual Forbes AI 50 list is now live.
There were many impressive companies that didn't make this year's top 50. We had over 1,900 applicants for just 50 slots.
The process from 1,900 to top 100 is fully algorithmic based on metrics like revenue scale, revenue growth, Glassdoor reviews, and product reviews. For the first time, nearly all winners had impressive financial metrics, a great sign for the AI industry. From the top 100 to final 50 we then have a panel of judges from the AI and VC industry vote.
When we started the list in 2019, there were maybe 200 applicants (the industry was much smaller). Now, with 1,900 and I think we should make it the AI 100 next year in 2025! If there is a company you think should make the list next year, please tag them below so we can reach out when we put the next list together!
Here are some rising trends we noticed in this year's list:
General productivity
Five productivity apps, @OpenAI’s ChatGPT, @AnthropicAI’s Claude, @DeepLcom, @NotionHQ and @magicaltome are now catering to customers at the consumer, prosumer and enterprise levels. Productivity has always been a focus of AI, but we saw huge gains revenue growth and user engagement this year.
Applications for creators
Image editor @photoroom_app, video generation app @pika_labs and game-builder @Rosebud_AI show that the lines are blurring between consumer and prosumer for creative software. Products like OpenAI's Sora are mind-blowing, and just the beginning of the next generation of applications for creators.
AI in the physical world
@Figure_robot in robotics, @tractian in industrial maintenance and @Waabi_ai in self-driving are beginning to show how the integration of AI software with hardware will transform work in the physical world. Our guess is next year's list will have many more companies in the AI robotics trend. It seems right around the corner.
Infrastructure
@MistralAI is an amazing new entrant in foundation models. In many ways Mistral has taken leadership in the Open Source community alongside list veteran @huggingface. @langchain established itself in a category of its own as an all-purpose application development framework for working with LLMs.
Thanks for reading. Tag any companies we should include for next year's list, as well as any other trends or ideas you noticed this year!

So much fun using #GPT4 to learn three.js. Used our generative AI beta for skyboxes to create some game scenes. Got a demo up and running to interactively conjuring chrome spheres in the environment: running live here 3d-chrome-sphere.lishali3.re…
