| WELCOME | Happy Tuesday, legends. Welcome back to another edition of The Frontier — our weekly newsletter covering the best new AI launches on Product Hunt. . | | TOP LAUNCHES | Cursor but it’s free | | cto.new lets anyone code with the latest frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and more, no API keys, no credit card. It’s a full AI coding agent for your team that runs on top-tier models, completely free. WeatherNext 2 uses Gemini 1.5 Pro to run high-resolution forecasts in seconds so you get an actual picture of what the sky is about to do instead of the usual vague “partly cloudy” shrug. It analyses thousands of short-term scenarios, picks the likeliest one, and gives you something closer to a real forecast instead of whatever your phone thinks might happen. InsForge gives your AI agent an actual backend to work with. It comes with auth, a database, storage, real-time updates and cloud functions so your agent can move past demo-level chat and build something that behaves like a real product. Reindeer is a Cursor-like IDE for databases. It understands your database schema, generates production-ready SQL in seconds, autocompletes, and fixes without ever leaving your IDE. The point being to get developers to stop context switching when moving from writing code to writing queries. Juno Digital Planner pulls every task, email and meeting into one quiet place so your day finally stops living in twelve different tabs. It works offline, syncs across devices, and auto-reschedules when you pretend you can do five things at once.

| | SPONSORED BY | Auth0 | | Securely connect AI agents to apps and APIs | AI agents are finally powerful enough to do real work inside your stack. The hard part is giving them access without compromising on security.
Auth0 for AI Agents tackles that head-on. It's built-in Token Vault gives agents a safe way to access third-party tools and APIs—no homegrown security patches, no crossed fingers.
What it handles: | Secure storage and use of access tokens Safe connections to external tools and APIs Automatic authorization flows Guardrails that keep agents from overstepping Quick setup with just a few lines of code
| Build agents you can actually trust, without slowing down your roadmap. | Start building with Auth0 today. |

| WHAT’S HOT | Cursor right-clicks on $2.3B | | Cursor can’t stop growing. | The startup behind the eponymous AI coding tool just completed its third funding round of 2025, this time raising $2.3 billion from the likes of Google, Nvidia, Accel, Coatue, and others. It started the year valued between $2 and $3 billion. After this latest capital infusion, it’s worth $29.3 billion. | So, what does $2.3B buy you these days? | Maybe independence from the big AI model companies, such as OpenAI and Anthropic. It’s been paying them to access their models even as those companies have released their own coding tools, Codex and Claude Code, that threaten to undercut Cursor. But Cursor launched its own AI model, Composer, last month. And it wants to throw a big chunk of this funding to grow it. | So consider this the opening of a two-front war (albeit a complicated one in which one side is selling weapons to the other). | For months, we’ve been debating Cursor v. Claude Code. And, of course, we have also noticed numerous partisans for Codex, Windsurf, Warp, Trae and others. Plus, there are new tools dropping all the time, like “self-improving AI IDE” Dropstone, which launched this week. | The question is: Does last month’s launch of Composer combined with this week’s huge haul change more than just the business model for Cursor—will it make the AI IDE even better? Or are there other things it should be focusing on? | |

| ANNOUNCEMENT | RIP Golden Kitty Awards. Long live Orbit | | We’ve got a big update: after ten years, we’re officially sunsetting the Golden Kitty Awards. | They’ve been a huge part of Product Hunt’s history, but the ecosystem has changed. AI moves fast, new categories show up constantly, and a once-a-year award no longer reflects how products actually grow. Most of the real story now happens after launch day. | So we’re introducing something built for this pace: The Orbit Awards. | Orbit is a quarterly award series focused on traction. High-quality reviews, detailed community insight, founder reviews, and hands-on testing. Less about hype, more about who’s consistently climbing. | |
