Hello, I’ve pulled my eyes from my X timeline to share some news with you.
So… here’s some news:
🌌 NASA pointed the Webb telescope at our galaxy and it’s beautiful.
🗣️ OpenAI has announced ChatGPT Voice for all free mobile users.
💸 Binance CEO Changpen Zhao pleads guilty to federal charges and steps down.
This is one quick way to build an app

You’ve got the idea, now what? Usually, it means booting up your favorite text editor and starting to code. That’s where the roadblock often comes in. Maybe you don’t know how to code to that level, or maybe you don’t have time.
What if I told you there was an easier way, and no points for guessing that it’s AI.
Trace AI launched today. Trace AI helps you build your app’s UI directly in Swift, but instead of having to design and hardcode it, you simply tell its AI engine what you want.
Like a lot of AI-powered tools, its main interaction is in the prompt. The team even spent time building a document to explain what makes a good prompt and what doesn’t so you don’t waste time with sub-par outputs.
According to the founder Vidy Thatte, time was a huge consideration when building Trace.
“Every time I start a new iOS project, I have to write a ton of boilerplate code and build UI components from scratch. This is a massive time drain.”
Trace AI runs in your browser, so no pesky downloads needed and when you’re done you can export your new creation as an Xcode file, Swift file, or even run it directly on your device.
The team is aiming to rapidly improve Trace AI and apparently have some “insane” features in the pipeline. So if you’ve been mulling over an idea, now is a good time to…
Are you really still typing?

Full disclosure: Wispr Flow is the AI dictation tool most of us at Product Hunt (use we still have a few holdout typers, what romantics). Hold a key, talk, and clean text drops straight into whatever app you're already in — Slack, email, Notion, your IDE, wherever your cursor lives. No switching windows. No copy-paste ritual. Just say the thing – yes, you can whisper it – and even your most run-on sentences will be turned into polished writing at 4x the speed of typing.
White smoke rises

The OpenAI saga has seemingly come to an end after the company announced its fourth CEO in five days. You’ll never guess who. It’s….drum roll please… Sam Altman.
That’s right, the same man the board ousted is now back at the helm after the board also agreed to make changes.
The company appointed former Salesforce CEO, Bret Taylor, as chair and appointed former Treasury Secretary, Larry Summers, to the board.
CEO of Microsoft, Sayta Nadella also shared his delight at the news, saying “We believe this is a first essential step on a path to more stable, well-informed, and effective governance.”
Thus ends possibly one of the most rollercoaster-esque stories of 2023 in the AI world. For now, at least.
