Chat4Data

Chat4Data is a Chrome extension that lets non-technical users scrape structured data from websites by simply chatting with an AI.

It comes in handy for lead gen, competitor research, campaign monitoring, or just to get content ideas.

Install it, open a site, enable the extension, and type in natural language prompts like “Add price field” or “Delete rating field.”

It auto-detects data types like links, images, emails, and phone numbers, and handles pagination so you don’t have to click through every page.

Then, just download your data into an Excel sheet.

SocLeads Email Scraper

SocLeads is a web-based tool for extracting emails from platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Google Maps.

Search by keywords or hashtags to get basic info like email addresses (when available), account names, and links. No login, no plugins, no technical setup.

You can extract up to 100,000 contacts per month on the highest-tier plan, and data is available for review 24 hours after scraping.

Salesforce x Slack

Salesforce just announced a major Slack integration that will bring CRM and collaboration under one roof.

Salesforce Channels are specialized Slack channels linked to records like accounts or opportunities.

They sync structured CRM data and unstructured chat content, giving you a complete view of customer interactions without switching platforms.

Think of Slack as the new conversational front end for Salesforce.

Pretty Prompt

Pretty Prompt is “like Grammarly for prompting.”

Instead of guessing how to write the perfect prompt, it takes whatever text you have and optimizes it to get you better, more accurate responses, saving you all the back-and-forth of refinement.

The free version gives you 5 prompts a day with no login required.

Google’s Veo 3

👀 Sponsor this spot to share your product or service with our community.

Veo is Google DeepMind’s video generation mode, and if you can’t tell from your social feeds right now… Veo 3 has arrived.

The latest upgrade delivers 4K resolution, true-to-life physics, and immersive audio, all generated natively with prompts.

Veo 3 can do dynamic action sequences, animations, ambient soundscapes, expressive audio cues, natural dialogue scenes, and more.

Basically, what you need to know is that it passes the Will Smith Eating Spaghetti test.

Claude AI Updates

Anthropic has rolled out two major updates to its Claude AI assistant: a conversational voice mode on mobile and expanded web search access for all users, including those on free plans.

Voice mode lets users speak naturally with Claude and toggle seamlessly between voice and text without losing context.

Pro users ($20/month) also get integrations with Google Docs, Drive, Calendar, and Gmail.

There are five voices: Buttery (lol), Airy, Mellow, Glassy, and Rounded. Voice interactions can include documents and images, and you can get full transcripts and visual note summaries.

Plus, real-time web search is now available for all users, free or paid.
