Jotform’s Instagram Agent

Jotform’s Instagram Agent instantly replies to messages in your brand’s voice, so you never miss a lead, fan interaction, or customer inquiry.

Once you connect your account, the AI trains on your posts, bio, and past conversations to deliver context-aware responses.

It can handle FAQs, recommend products, share class schedules, book appointments, or even guide followers through checkout.

It also replies to comments and story mentions and can connect with tools like Shopify, Calendly, and Google Sheets to automate sales and workflows.

Tab With a View

We know. You already have 53 tabs open. But open one more.

This browser extension transports you somewhere beautiful every time you open a new tab. There’s a reason it’s rated 4.9 stars. Yay, escapism!

Each global scene comes with context, so you can follow your nose and take a virtual tour, watch timelapse videos, or find quick facts about the location, if you wanna.

There’s also a built-in Focus Mode that combines Pomodoro-style sessions with calming sounds and visuals.

Kuse

Kuse is a next-gen workspace for visual thinkers.

It’s got an infinite, canvas-based UI with multi-model AI for ideas, research, and creative exploration.

Generate, analyze, and compare text, images, and files all in one spot without constant context switching.

Kuse even integrates professional databases and APIs for deeper insights. Also, it’s very kute.

ChatGPT vs Google

Ahrefs just launched a monthly tracker comparing referral traffic from Google Search and ChatGPT. Hallelujah.

The dashboard pulls data from over 44,000 websites connected to Ahrefs’ free Web Analytics tool and updates each month.

The early numbers show Google still dominates, driving 41.9% of total traffic in July, compared to ChatGPT’s 0.19%.

But growth trends are worth noting: while Google traffic rose just 1.4%, ChatGPT referrals climbed 5.3%. That means, while small in absolute terms, ChatGPT is currently growing 3.8x faster than Google.

Adobe’s Acrobat Studio

Adobe just rolled out Acrobat Studio, an AI-powered hub designed to make working with PDFs (and other formats) less painful.

PDF Spaces are collaborative hubs where you can upload up to 100 files, from PDFs and Word docs to web pages. Acrobat Studio’s AI assistant can summarize the content, provide citations, and answer questions with pre-populated prompts.

There are also customizable AI “assistants” too, like an analyst for insights, an instructor for explanations, and even an entertainer. Or you can create their own.

FYI, it’s currently limited to English-language docs and can’t handle video, handwritten notes, or password-protected files. Pricing starts at $25/month, with a 14-day trial.

Logoipsum

Logoipsum is the lorem ipsum of logos.

It’s a collection of clean, abstract, and versatile SVG logos built to temporarily fill design mockups, UI layouts, wireframes, and client presentations until the real thing arrives.

Just click to copy the SVG and paste it into Figma, Sketch, XD, or Illustrator or download it directly.

Novella

What’s up with your WIP?

Novella is a distraction-free writing app designed to help writers focus on what matters most: the words.

You can track progress through detailed analytics and monitor word counts by day, week, or year. The flexible snippets feature and built-in task lists help you stay organized.

Documents load instantly, chapters can be reordered with drag-and-drop ease, and scaling across multiple projects is smooth as ever.

Subculture

The founders of Blackweek have launched Subculture, a social platform built exclusively for subject-matter experts, thought leaders, and creators with a point of view.

It’s meant to give you the tools to publish your ideas, grow a loyal audience, and get paid for your insight. It’s content, community, and commerce integrated into one creator-first platform.

Right now, it supports paid subscriptions, with more ways to monetize on the way: tips, e-commerce, digital downloads, ad revenue sharing, brand partnerships, live stream PPV, and more.
