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. This week, an AI that kills powerpoint, an app that creates playlists based on your face, and a deep dive into Zuck’s new superintelligence goal.

RIP powerpoint 🙏
TOP LAUNCHES
Chronicle is an AI-powered presentation platform built to cut down the hours spent on slide design. It takes your raw ideas and content – like notes, outlines, or text – and automatically transforms them into visually polished, professional-looking presentations
Covolute replaces cramped code editors with a boundless canvas you can draw, type, or describe to design web pages. Its AI co-pilot spins up ready-made components on demand, and teammates can join in real time to tweak layouts together
Glims turns your photos and short clips into animated showreels right in your browser. Its Figma-style editor lets you add motion and effects without wrestling with a heavy video tool.
Harker runs Whisper locally on your Mac so nothing ever leaves your laptop. Hit a global shortcut, speak your text, press enter and it pastes anywhere you’re typing. You choose a model for speed or accuracy in a one-time purchase with no subscription.
Jammy Chat uses your camera to read your expression and instantly builds a playlist to match. Sad? Chill? Blank stare at 2am? It picks up on the cues and cues up the tracks, no typing, no swiping, no pretending you know what you want to hear.
WHAT’S HOT
Zuck’s flashing the bucks
Meta just gave Mark Zuckerberg's ego a team—and the keys to chase Google and OpenAI to the AGI finish line. Zuckerberg has been personally recruiting AI experts for a new "AI Superintelligence" team through a WhatsApp group called "Recruiting Party," complete with dinner parties at his California homes.
The goal isn't just artificial general intelligence (human-level smarts)—it's superintelligence, where machines blow past human intellectual limits entirely.
The shopping spree is pricey: Meta's offering seven-to-nine-figure compensation packages to poach talent from Google and OpenAI, plus a multi-billion-dollar investment in Scale AI to bring founder Alexandr Wang and his data-training empire into the fold. Zuckerberg's pitch?
Meta's advertising cash cow can bankroll AI development costing "tens of billions" without begging investors for money—unlike the competition.
Why the personal touch from Zuck? Meta's Llama 4 flopped harder than expected, getting roasted for overpromising and underdelivering, forcing delays on their "Behemoth" model that was supposed to embarrass GPT-4.5 and friends on STEM benchmarks.
Now Meta's betting everything on assembling the Avengers of AI to leapfrog the competition.
TRENDING DISCUSSIONS
Speed running app development
Chirag Sharma kicked things off by sharing how a simple family moment sparked an idea: after seeing AI colorize his grandparents’ black-and-white photos—and even bring a tear to his aunt’s eye—he decided to build AI-Nostalgia in just four days.
He wired up n8n for the workflows, tapped Lovable’s AI for the actual color magic, and hooked in Razorpay so people could pay on the spot. The result is a browser app where you upload a cherished snapshot and watch it bloom into full color without downloading anything .
Right now every user gets one free recolor, with pay-as-you-go pricing kept lean to cover costs. A full video-based version is on the roadmap, but even the photo-only launch feels like a mini time machine.
If you’ve ever wanted to see your family history in living color, this one’s worth a spin.Drop your thoughts
