@iBuild Why the hate on comet? I’ve been using it for a while and it’s actually pretty good.

I worked a shift at our customer branch on Oxford Street. It was a lot of fun. Why are we opening a branch when all traditional banks are trying to get rid of theirs? Why are we jailbreaking out of apps?

People and small businesses are now holding $40 billion on their @Wise everyday spending accounts. It's growing fast, 37% last year. Mostly by our customers recommending to their friends. One of the things they mention is the support and experience they are getting compared to what they've learned to expect from their bank.

We already serve 280,000 customer interactions on live phone and chat channels each month. Our people are instantly available 24/7. We do that in so many languages.

Now we're taking this support to the next level. You enjoy a human experience more than a phone call? Come see our team in person!

I don't exactly know how these branches are going to operate. We are doing a concept on Oxford street. It is an opposite experience to the last time you visited your bank branch. Cue the Jenki matcha. We may do a few more concepts and try out different things around the world, before we settle on permanent homes and physical spaces for our customers. It's coming.

Now that we're soon running out of 32-bit namespace for transfer IDs at @Wise, the engineers are annoyed with me choosing int over long when I wrote the first lines of code in 2010.

But why don't they appreciate the $17 of savings in storage cost over years!? 🤷

Be less "banker". Be more Nationwide.

The 140 year-old British lender has joined the decent [and cool] kids on the block @StarlingBank and @monzo, going full transparent on their cross-border fees.
Exchange rate is a perfect place to hide a fee from unsuspecting customers. Most banks and even some payment companies can't resist the temptation. It's no coincidence that @AskNationwide is structured as a membership owned by it's customers. 🤷

@AravSrinivas Are there any plans to include Finance in the sidebar instead of typing it out on the app?

[Ankit @_ankran_]

@perplexity_ai It looks like the search is mixing up the trailer for F1 with The Pitt series.

@AravSrinivas This is great 🔥

Hey gang - For the past few months, my team and I’ve been building a new way to double your productivity - using your voice.

I’d love to introduce you to VoicePal, an AI-enabled voice recorder, transcriber and transformer. Think of it as Voice Notes but on steroids - record a rambly voicenote and it'll transform it into structured bullet points, memos, Slack messages or anything else.

After testing with ~100 users, we’re launching the closed beta to 5,000 more people, and we’d love for you to try it out (for free).

The app is simple -
Step 1: 🎙️ Record - Hit record, and speak whatever comes to mind. It can be as long or as short as you like, as rambly or concise as you like.
Step 2: ✍️ Transcribe - VoicePal creates a structured transcript of what you’ve spoken, removes the umms and aahhhs, and automatically summarises your train of thought.
Step 3: ✨ Transform - With a single tap, VoicePal can transform your words into whatever format you like - an article, a journal entry, a tweet thread, a YouTube video script, a deposition summary, a recipe, a cute message to your spouse, or anything else you can think of.

I personally use it for journal entries, and for capturing video ideas while on the go. If I’m listening to a podcast or audiobook for example and something resonates with me, I’ll hit pause, open up VoicePal, record my thoughts, and now I’ve got my notes captured and ready to transform into talking points for my next YouTube video.

If this sounds like something that would help you in your personal or professional life, we’re launching the closed beta to a limited number of users - you can get yourself an invite here: https://t.co/pMcrS3Wli5

If you, or an adult you care about, may have ADHD, there is an FDA authorized technology (ie non drug option) for treating ADHD that is now in a product you can get without a prescription.

And unlike stimulants, there are very low side effects and the effects appear to last when you’re not using the product.

Please read below if curious why it’s grown to a Top 20 Medical app since launch in June.

@EndeavorOTC helps you with cognitive strengthening through a game using an algorithm that acts as a personal trainer, tailoring attention challenges to individual users.

A multi-site, 200+ participant trial yielded very strong results in treating ADHD - 83% experienced a clinically meaningful change in attention function as measured by the TOVA ACS.

73% of participants also reported quality of life improvements as measured on a validated quality of life scale. See below for the trial summary slide. Separately, no serious side effects have been reported. For full use and safety information see Instructions for Use: https://t.co/daw69lAQQz.

You can start a free trial or subscribe here if interested: https://t.co/ncYTeSVcmU.

Disclaimer: Akili, the maker of this product, is a company we invested in to develop digital therapeutics to target these and other issues in the brain.
