Today we're introducing Limitless 2.0, the world's best personal assistant.
Here are 7 incredible things we just launched (and you won't want to miss the last one!)
1. Reminders: An automatic to-do list based on everything you verbally committed to throughout the day.
2. Limitless Live: You can now have a conversation with a personal assistant who knows you better than anyone on the planet, and you can ask it truly anything.
3. Daily Insights: This includes top highlights from the day decisions that were made, key things to follow up on, and opportunities to reflect and grow, as well as ideas that you might have had or everything you've committed to throughout the day.
4. Native Android app: It is live in the Google Play Store right now.
5. Recording using your phone's microphone: Now you don't need a Pendant to start to feel the magic of Limitless.
6. Full MCP support: Now you can seamlessly access your Limitless data from anywhere, including ChatGPT or Claude.
7. Best of all, for a limited time, we have cut the price of the Pendant and our bundle by a hundred dollars. That means the pendant is only $99. Download the iOS app or Android app for free or jump right in and buy the Pendant at limitless . ai for just $99.

Everyone deserves their own personal assistant and starting today, it is just $99 away.

I think we are about to see a renaissance in the humanities because of #AI. LLMs = cultural machines

I’ve discovered how to get 4o to respond in verse without asking it to use the poetic directly. It is the perfect language with which to approach philosophy.

Listening to a reading of the Declaration of Independence in the Old North Church. American history never felt more alive. #4thofJuly

People are booing, hissing, and cheering. I love this.

I love working remotely. The world is your office.

@scottbelsky I really hope that we do unlock more small makers and builders in this next phase: deconsolidation.

new tech will widen margins of most businesses, felt most in SMBs as so many boutique ideas become viable as businesses. this last piece is especially interesting, we may enjoy far more hand crafted, small batch, and bespoke versions of everything once the margins allow for it.

When one releases an idea into the world, one cannot control the life the idea will take on. Even evil originates from good intentions. I don’t think that means we stop sharing ideas, but it’s an ethical dilemma nonetheless.

Oh NYC, how much I’ve missed you.

I feel like social media is broken because most apps never answered the why of we should all be connected in the first place. This has led to social media being the modern vanity project.

I now believe that the Engineering Marketing Manager will be a real role to motivate humans as they control their armies of #AI agents. I’m taking a stab at this in Q3.

I just finished 📚The Last Human Job https://t.co/mClM9YZnRh. Although I didn’t agree with everything it said, this is an important perspective and should be required reading for anyone in #EmotionalAI

Thank you @LimitlessAI @dsiroker @brettbejcek for a thoughtful event on #MindEmulation #ai. I really enjoyed being part of it and meeting the team.

I’ve been thinking that maybe everything produced by AI should automatically be #creativecommons. After all these models were trained on the (stolen) material of other humans. Profiting through #copyright seems unethical.

“Collective memory” - what happens when our memory, in the form of extended context windows and tailored AI, becomes shared (at work, and at home)? 🧠

Consider this:
Consumer-facing technologies like ChatGPT and Claude are extending their memory of our conversations, and it is only a matter of time before we’re given the option to share the AI’s memory of us with our colleagues at work and perhaps even family and loved ones — much like you share a photo album or a Spotify playlist.

Fast forward, as LLMs remember our schedules, memorialize our conversations, and memorize our preferences and purchases, the value of sharing selective access to this memory with others will be the equivalent of a mind meld. Your loved ones will be able to leverage — and even inherit — your accumulated knowledge. Their AI query for good restaurants in NYC or health concerns will yield responses that are enriched with your history and experiences. And at work, colleagues will be able to mine each others interactions, realizations, and network in unimaginable ways to advance a business.

In such a world, does “me” becomes “we?” What is it like to access the accumulated knowledge and experiences of others just as you recall your own lessons learned? Who do you add to the “Disallow List” for access to your personal knowledge? Will your spouse and children expect to be a part of the collective memory of your family, or avoid it? In the enterprise, those who have access to collective memory and those who don’t will unleash a new strata of status in the company. When you leave a company, do they get to keep this new form of “enterprise memory” that you cultivated during your tenure?

Also, in a world of shared memory, trust will reign supreme in the process of hiring new people. When you hire someone — or marry someone — they will share parts of your context window with AI (your modern memory), and the implications cannot be understated.

@scottbelsky Fascinating! I wrote a blog post touching on this just this week (and will be expanding on this in the future). https://t.co/PCRVN8U41R

Also check out @LimitlessAI; this is likely an important piece of the puzzle.
