Clippy got an upgrade

Plus, five AI tools you may have missed

WELCOME

Happy Tuesday, legends. Welcome back to another edition of The Frontier — our weekly newsletter covering the best new AI launches on Product Hunt. .

TOP LAUNCHES

Remember Clippy?

  • Clippy, but on Steroids is a small desktop assistant that runs local language models and sits wherever you are typing. It watches the text field you are in, generates a response, and pastes it straight in so you can skip the copy paste shuffle between chat and whatever app you are using. You can trigger it with voice or keyboard and have it fire off chores like creating Linear tickets or updating your Google Calendar.

  • Krisp Mobile Call Recorder lets you place outgoing calls from the Krisp app and saves the whole thing for later. It records the call, turns it into a transcript, and auto-generates short notes with key points and action items that sync across mobile and desktop. Right now it works with US numbers, with more regions on the way.

  • Blink Agent Builder lets you spin up full AI agents from a plain language brief. You say what you want it to handle, and it wires up tools like web search, code execution, vector memory and a sandbox on top of 180+ models, so you get something you can actually run instead of another idea sitting in notes.

  • Forvibe handles the boring side of shipping mobile apps. Forvibe generates App Store and Google Play listings, localizes copy and screenshots, spins up a hosted landing page, fills in privacy and terms pages, and keeps subscriptions and in-app purchases in one dashboard while syncing with the store APIs. You keep building, it keeps the launch machinery in line.

  • InteractPitch turns your pitch deck into an interactive, async walkthrough. You send it ahead of the call, investors explore it with an AI version of you stepping in to explain slides and answer questions, and you get live insight into who opened it, where they lingered, and which sections raised questions so you can walk into the first call already calibrated.

WHAT’S HOT

Evernote returns

AI integrations these days are table stakes. This is no less true for old-school applications like Evernote, the notetaking app that promises to capture and organize everything from to-do lists to articles to read.

Oh, you forgot about Evernote?! That may be because, before releasing v11 this week, it hadn’t released an update since 2020. Two years later, it was bought by Bending Spoons, which cut down on what came with the free plan — and cut most of the team.

But now it’s back with a v11 that’s heavy on the AI, in three specific ways: 

  • an AI assistant that makes it possible for “users to interact with their notes, tasks, and calendar through a dedicated chat interface”

  • “Semantic Search,” so you can find notes without having to know the exact keywords in them

  • AI meeting notes for transcription and summarization

Evernote is clearly starting a new chapter. But is the Product Hunt community taking note?Meet your new coworker

FROM THE FORUMS

Best AI model for coding?

fmerian kicked off a poll asking a simple question: if you write code with AI every day, which model are you actually picking. The options range from Sonnet 4.5 and Gemini 3 to GPT 5.2, Composer 1, Devstral 2 and a few China models, with Sonnet currently way ahead in the votes.

Replies are where it gets interesting: founders share what they run under the hood in tools like Tonkotsu, some people swear by Opus 4.5 even though it is not on the poll, others mention combos like Genie 2 plus Cubic for catching bugs, and Alina points out the boring reality that pricing and latency are shaping choices as much as raw capability.

If you’ve got a daily driver for coding, this is the thread to drop it in.
