😸 you vs 100 duck sized horses

happy sunday world changers! Hope you're having a swell sunday morning. Brew a fresh cup of coffee and settle in as we got the hottest products of the week, a meme dunking on AI, a new tool that makes studying a breeze, and ChatGPT's biggest challenge to Google and Amazon.

Starting Sunday off strong with our favorite meme of the week. This one comes in from Kamil Ruczynski in response to Sam Altman's tweet about GPT-4o's habit of being a bit too praise-happy. GPT, we love you, but maybe tone down on the compliments once and a while, it's going straight to my ego.

Most exam prep tools look helpful until you actually use them. Codrut Lemeni watched his girlfriend burn out trying to study with the usual clunky platforms and decided to build something better.

Educato helps students prep for over 10,000 real exams around the world. That includes the bar, IELTS, Romanian Bac, and more. Everything is tailored to how you learn, in your own language, with lessons, flashcards, and practice tests that actually stick. No grind culture. No fake personalization. Just tools that work.

Codrut left his job at Palantir to turn a pandemic-era nonprofit into what Educato is today. Five years later, it's live and already changing how people study.

ChatGPT just added shopping to its skillset, and it’s not stopping at affiliate links.

OpenAI is rolling out a search upgrade that lets ChatGPT pull real-time product listings straight into the chat. Thanks to new integrations with Shopify and Klarna, you can now ask it for gift ideas, compare prices, and get direct links to buy—without opening a dozen tabs or fighting through SEO sludge.

It’s part of the chatbot’s built-in web browsing for Pro users, but this goes beyond casual Googling. OpenAI’s betting that people want fewer decisions, not more options. One prompt in, and ChatGPT becomes your product researcher, personal shopper, and maybe one day, your stylist too.

Wonder how long before it tries to pick your lunch order?

Kamilas dropped a fun one: “What’s the most unconventional way you’ve ever come up with a business idea?”

Turns out, inspiration shows up in weird places. One person credited a teenage friend who spewed “dumb” ideas until one finally hit. Someone else got there through a joke product called Purposeful Poop (yes, really). Others mentioned aimless walks, strange customer requests, or just building something ridiculous and realizing later it had legs.

Not every idea starts with a whiteboard and a roadmap. Sometimes the best ones sneak in sideways.

Worth a scroll if you’ve ever backed into a good idea by accident.
