Did you miss our AMA with Meetup.com founder, Scott Heiferman? Don't worry, we highlighted the best Qs and As on Twitter. Find them all here, plus some video clips from the event.

 

And make sure to join us for an upcoming AMA event here at Studios. We’re hosting one with Matt Meeker, founder of BARK (your four-legged friend’s favorite subscription service, perhaps?) on Thursday, March 7th. RSVP here.

One of the platforms that Matt used to promote his podcast is Breaker (also a Betaworks portfolio company). They recently launched new features and a new layout that makes podcast discovery even easier. See the changes and check out their process here.

A company that you may remember from Botcamp is now making waves in the synthetic media space (you know, the theme for our upcoming Camp!). The creators of Hugging Face, the “AI Tamagotchi,” just launched a new AI friend: Voice Boloss. Unlike Siri or Alexa, this AI won’t tell you about the weather or give you directions. More simply (or more complexly?), Voice Boloss is built to provide entertainment and even emotional support.

 

“We started to think about Voice Boloss when some of our users randomly tried to call or FaceTime the number we were using to send texts. When people form an emotional bond with their Hugging Face artificial intelligence, they want to communicate through all the mediums they are already using today with humans friends, like voice, call and FaceTime.” — Clément Delangue
