😸 Fix bugs faster

Hi, hi, hi! Hope you’ve recovered from Monday. In today’s digest, I’m covering a YC-backed AI tool that helps devs stay focused by automating bug fixes. But first… 

The headlines: 

🇪🇺 Elon Musk and the EU are fighting again — this time with memes. 

📱 Google’s Pixel event is happening today. Here’s what to expect. 

💬 TikTok is entering the chat app scene with the launch of group chats.

Developers, let me know if this sounds familiar: you’re hacking away on a new product, slinging code at breakneck speed, and then, without warning, a bug ticket to fix a padding error pops up. Your concentration is broken, and with it, your focus. 

In an ideal world, PMs would handle tasks like that on the fly so engineering teams could stay focused on the goal at hand. But depending on the company's skill set, that’s not always possible. That’s why Tusk exists.

Tusk is an AI agent that helps PMs and engineers complete necessary UI changes from tickets to pull requests. It aims to automate some of the more tedious tasks, like minor bug fixes and copy changes, in order to increase your customer NPS while letting your engineers get on with their work. 

So how does it work? Once you boot it up, Tusk will integrate with your chosen ticketing software like Jira, Linear, Notion, or GitHub. Once a ticket comes in, Tusk will ask if you want it to work on it. From there, it will refer to an “abstract semantic” graph of your codebase and will use learnings from past PRs and code reviews to generate high-quality code. 

Once the code is generated, the agent will run CI checks and automatically iterate on a branch until it passes your checks. From there, it’s ready to deploy. It also comes with out-of-the-box Figma, Loom, and Jam integrations that give it even more context when generating code. 

Tusk is in the YC Winter batch for 2024, and the team is offering fifty percent off for the first three months to Product Hunt users who want to try it out. 

Vercel V0 and Claude Sonnet are two AI tools that have caught the eyes of the developer community for their ability to generate apps and websites from prompts. Our head of growth, Jason Levin, did a deep dive to see what makes each one tick, the pros and cons of each, and which might be best for you.

DESIGN TOOLS 

Lottielab Interactivity lets you create and export animations that react to clicks, hovers, scrolls, and more, enabling experiences that engage and respond to users.

CraftUI lets you craft ready-to-use UI components with natural language prompts. You can select from a number of themes and frameworks, and once it’s generated, you can export the code.

PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS 

Alterfy is an AI-powered meeting reduction platform. When you schedule a meeting, the AI analyzes whether it’s needed or if it could be a message and recommends canceling it or not. 

Docamine is an online tool to ease the pain of filling out PDFs and image-based documents without labeled fields using AI.

LIFE TOOLS 

Outside is an iOS app that helps you spend more time with the people you care about. You can add the countdown widget to track events and share your calendar with friends.
