News
Perplexity’s $34.5B bid to buy Chrome is absurd—and strategic
TL;DR: Perplexity AI, valued at $14B, just lobbed a $34.5B all-cash offer to buy Google Chrome. Yes, really. The browser has over 3B users and is critical infrastructure for Google’s AI-infused search empire. While the bid is almost certainly dead on arrival, it’s a power play designed to position Perplexity as a serious contender in AI search—and stoke regulatory pressure on Google.
As search shifts to AI, controlling the browser means owning user access and data. Chrome is the front door.
With Comet already live, Chrome’s 3B+ users would give Perplexity instant scale—and a massive edge over OpenAI.
The DOJ may force Google to divest Chrome. Perplexity’s bid leverages this timing to pressure regulators and claim relevance.
Whoever controls the browser controls how you search, what you see first, and how AI shapes your work. If Perplexity wedges into Chrome or influences its future, it could mean faster, AI-native tools baked into your everyday browsing—and less reliance on Google's increasingly curated search results.
Idea Generation
This AI built two mobile apps in 14 minutes
TL;DR: Rork uses GPT-5 to turn a single prompt into a working iOS or Android app without IDEs, and manual builds. You can test it instantly on your phone and deploy to the App Store from the same interface.
Skip IDEs and configs. Rork lets you build and preview apps instantly via browser or mobile QR code.
From a 2D shooter with full visuals to a note app with autosave and search, the AI delivers across categories.
Rork auto-fixes TypeScript errors and handles technical setups, so you can focus on prompts, not code.
Push live with integrated submission tools. Starts at $20/month for full app builds and tests.
Mobile development has always been high-friction. Rork collapses that friction, making real-time, mobile-first app building as simple as sending a prompt.
Productivity
How to make sure your emails never land in spam again
TL;DR: Inbox IQ founder Matt Ratliff breaks down the five technical and strategic moves every builder needs to master to stay out of the spam folder in 2025. From domain setup and DNS records to list hygiene and engagement tactics.
Send bulk emails from a separate subdomain (e.g.,
mg.yourdomain.com) to protect your main domain’s reputation. If things go wrong, your core communications stay unaffected.SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are non-negotiable. Without them, mailbox providers won’t trust your emails, and your open rates will tank.
Bounces, spam traps, and disengaged users silently kill your deliverability. Use tools like NeverBounce before every major send.
If you're using a new or previously flagged domain, start small with highly engaged contacts. Ramp volume only when metrics are solid (e.g., <2% bounce, 40%+ opens).
Automate sunset policies to remove or re-engage cold subscribers. Engagement is the #1 inbox signal, don’t drag down your list with ghosts.
Treat your domain like an asset. Poor list hygiene or skipped DNS configs can silently destroy your ROI.

Founder Story
TL;DR: In days, Carson closed nearly $10K in AI-driven marketing deals with realtors. The turnkey system paired paid ads, an AI calling agent, and GoHighLevel automations. He targeted a high-urgency niche, build the backend, run paid social, and use a structured sales call to land high-ticket clients.
Realtors lose deals when leads go cold, so fast follow-up is worth paying for. Here comes: an AI calling agent that books appointments automatically.
Real estate is commission-driven and time-sensitive, making AI appointment booking an easy sell at premium prices.
Paid ads drove leads, GoHighLevel handled funnels/calendars/automations, and the package delivered a complete revenue engine, not just an AI bot.
A 3-step sales call (discovery → explain → pitch) consistently closed high-ticket deals, with retainers for ongoing revenue.
Carson excelled at bundling AI into a complete revenue engine for a specific niche. Realtors already spend heavily on lead gen and feel the cost of slow follow-up immediately. This alignment between tech and urgent business need is what made high-ticket, fast closes possible.
Tutorial/Framework
Build an AI workforce before lunch
TL;DR: Lindy AI makes it possible to spin up AI agents that do real work (outreach, support, or CRM updates) by describing the task in plain English. They can even use your computer like a human would.
Agent Builder lets you describe a task in plain language, then spins up a functional AI agent to handle it.
With Computer Use, agents can click, type, and navigate apps, bypassing the need for integrations or developer support.
You can deploy dozens of agents to run cold outreach, handle support, or update CRMs simultaneously, massively compressing execution time.
Human oversight still matters, especially in sales—agents handle the grunt work while you focus on strategy and decision-making.
Lindy shifts AI agents from concept to execution, enabling real, scalable automation without needing engineering or deep integrations.
