1. Pika lets you video chat with your AI agent: Pika — an AI startup building digital clones of real people — rolled out a video call skill that lets you chat with your agent on Google Meet, complete with a face, voice, and personality. The feature runs on the company’s new PikaStream 1.0 model. Watch the viral release video (2M+ views).

2. Anthropic restricts Claude use for third-party platforms like OpenClaw: Claude subscriptions will no longer cover third-party tools, which now require separate “pay as you go” billing. Anthropic cited engineering challenges due to surging demand for Claude as the company tries to “be more intentional with managing growth.”

3. Anything launches “text-to-app” to make building apps even easier: The AI vibecoding platform Anything now lets you build apps by texting back and forth over iMessage. The startup claims this new feature was a forced pivot after Apple delisted its app from the App Store. Watch how text-to-app works (4M+ views).

Most orgs have an AI / MCP project, but very few know how to solve for identity: MCP spec, DCR vs CIMD, short-lived credentials…the list goes on and on.

Thank God for Descope. Descope Agentic Identity Hub solves identity, helping you easily add auth, access control, and credential management to your AI.

Why 1,000+ orgs let Descope handle identity:

  • WisdomAI got MCP auth running in 1.5 days

  • Daylight Security shipped a customer-facing MCP server with auth built-in

  • Cequence uses it under-the-hood in their AI Gateway

FROM THE FRONTIER

Sam Altman was right. The first one-person $1 Billion companies are coming.

Made with Midjourney

The bold prediction. In 2024, Sam Altman predicted that AI would enable a single person to scale a company to $1B in revenue — and a 41-year-old from LA already has. Matthew Gallagher launched Medvi a year and a half ago with $20,000 and a dozen AI tools. It’s on track to reach $1.8 billion in sales this year.

The business model. Medvi is a telehealth company specializing in compounded semaglutide, the main ingredient in Ozempic. It controls the customer relationship (ad funnel, website, customer service) but offloads the doctors, prescriptions, and medication to OpenLoop and CareValidate, regulated white-label telehealth platforms.

How he did it. Gallagher leans on AI for nearly everything at Medvi: ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok write the code, Midjourney and Runway generate ads, and ElevenLabs handles customer service. The only other employee? His younger brother, Elliot. That lean setup translates to a 16.2% net margin — nearly triple the 5.5% that competitor Hims & Hers posts with thousands of employees on payroll.

The red flags. The same AI stack fueling Medvi's growth is also raising eyebrows — including allegations of hundreds of fake doctor accounts running Facebook ads on the company's behalf. Gallagher’s story is proof that AI is a force multiplier: capable of powering both growth and deception at the same scale.

PROMPT STATION

Comprehensive Dataset Comprehension

Prompt: Act as a senior data analyst. I will provide a dataset file, your task is to first deeply understand its structure before performing any analysis. Begin by identifying the total number of rows and columns, then list each column along with its inferred data type. For every column, explain what it likely represents from a business or analytical perspective. Identify any potential target or outcome variables if they exist. Carefully assess data quality by flagging missing values, inconsistent formats, unusual distributions, or possible outliers. Do not perform any advanced analysis or draw conclusions yet, your sole objective is to build a clear, structured mental model of the dataset. [upload dataset or attach sheet]

Brand Collectibles

NanoBanana Prompt: “A flat-lay collection of exactly 9 hyper-realistic 3D resin fridge magnets arranged on a bright pure white surface in a clean 3x3 grid, themed around [BRAND]. At the very top center, a wide rectangular text magnet spells "BRAND" in bold 3D block letters in the brand's signature colors. Below it, 9 magnets in a clean 3x3 grid: the official logo badge, the most iconic hero product, a secondary iconic product, a third iconic product or packaging, a brand mascot or character chibi, a fifth iconic item, a sixth iconic item, a seventh iconic item, and the brand's storefront or headquarters building facade. Each magnet is small, neatly spaced with generous white space between them, slightly raised with a soft drop shadow beneath. Bright white background, warm studio lighting from above, photorealistic product render, top-down flat-lay angle, 4:5 aspect ratio.”
