Hatable

What if ChatGPT was… honestly kind of a hater?

Hatable’s AI visits your site and then roasts you real good.

Your headline is confusing, your color palette is busted… no euphemisms, no compliments, just ruthless clocking.

HushLink

If you’re selling digital content, you can use HushLink in lieu of an unwieldy digital storefront or subscription platform.

Just upload your PDF/template/video/preset/guide, etc. Then, set your price and share the link on any platform.

You get paid instantly through Stripe, with daily payouts sent straight to your bank account.

You can password-protect content, offer pay-to-unlock files, and manage everything from one dashboard.

ProspectEcho

Brands that are actively running Facebook ads might just be your ideal prospects. They’ve clearly got the budget and they’re ready to invest.

ProspectEcho helps you find verified contact info for them quickly.

You just query the Meta Ad library, searching by industry, location, or company type; paste the search URL into ProspectEcho; and get a CSV of verified contacts.

Gemini 3

Google has just launched Gemini 3.

The new model is built to reason deeply, understand multimodal inputs, and act as a creative and technical partner with more precision, and fewer prompts.

In a head-to-head test by Tom’s Guide, Gemini 3 Pro consistently outperformed ChatGPT 5.1, winning six of nine rounds across coding, reasoning, writing, and multimodal tasks.

It’s available across Search, the Gemini app, AI Studio, Vertex AI, and Google’s new agentic development platform Antigravity.

Tiny Mario

Let’s swap SaaS for silly today.

Tiny Mario is a fully playable, side-scrolling Mario tribute that runs inside your browser’s URL bar.

It was built using Unicode Braille characters and fits movement, enemies, coins, and a hidden underground world into a 4×100-pixel strip.

You use arrow keys or WASD to dodge pits, collect coins, and race the clock for bonus points.

AI Website Builder

The new AI Website Builder by beehiiv lets you start with a prompt, like “Build me a landing page,” “Create an interactive chart,” or “I need a product calculator.”

From there, it generates a fully structured page in minutes. Switch between Chat Mode, where you iterate by describing changes, and Design Mode, which gives you full drag-and-drop precision.

It automatically pulls your design system, understands your visual language, and adapts layouts, components, and copy to match your style. You can also upload image references.

CleanShot X

CleanShot X is an all-in-one screen capture tool for macOS. It’s part screenshot utility, part annotation tool, part screen recorder.

Capture a scrolling chat, highlight a design detail, or turn a bug report into a GIF.

There’s quick access overlay for instant sharing, copying, or drag-and-drop. Scrolling and timed captures work in any app.

There’s also built-in screen recording, annotation and markup tools, a background tool, and text recognition, too.

Pantone Palette Generator

The Pantone Palette Generator, currently in open beta and built on Microsoft Azure, is an AI-powered tool that does what it says.

It integrates a chat-based interface into Pantone Connect, which lets you quickly generate palettes based on inspiration, trends, or emotional cues.

You can ask it things like, “What colors evoke optimism in Gen Z?” or “Show me palettes inspired by 1970s fashion editorials,” and it will give you ready-to-use combos informed by Pantone’s trend forecasting and Color Insider insights.
