😸 Out of your hands

gm legends, happy Thursday.

Agents crept into someone's peripheral vision, a to-do list stopped waiting to be done, and Claude got a day job in recruiting.

Terminal Mode by Even Realities is a software feature for G2 smart glasses that puts coding agent status into your peripheral view: see which agent needs input, give direction, and approve steps without switching windows. Will Wang's Even Realities already ships the G2 hardware — this is a software update for people who own them.

🔥 Our Take: When you run an AI coding agent all day, you keep switching back to check it. Not because you need to — because you don't fully trust it. Terminal Mode makes that check passive. The status is already in the corner of your vision. What it's actually solving isn't how to code with glasses on. It's how to run an agent without babysitting a terminal window.

Bond is an AI chief of staff for executives that connects to your tools, learns how your company works, and does the tasks — meeting prep, follow-ups, emails, action items, flagging blockers, delegating. Chloe Samaha (CEO), Flor Sanders (CTO), and Tibo Wiels (CPO) built it out of YC X25.

🔥 Our Take: Every AI assistant tells you what to do next. Bond's bet is that the bottleneck isn't awareness — you already know what needs to happen. It's the forty-five minutes of execution that never feels worth stopping for. Bond doesn't surface your list. It works through it.

Full disclosure: Wispr Flow is the AI dictation tool most of us at Product Hunt (use we still have a few holdout typers, what romantics). Hold a key, talk, and clean text drops straight into whatever app you're already in — Slack, email, Notion, your IDE, wherever your cursor lives. No switching windows. No copy-paste ritual. Just say the thing – yes, you can whisper it – and even your most run-on sentences will be turned into polished writing at 4x the speed of typing.

CrustRecruiter, from Abhilash Chowdhary's CrustData team, turns Claude into a recruiter that learns your company's standards: it runs on CrustData's database of hundreds of millions of profiles and real-time job change signals, and filters candidates the way your team would.

🔥 Our Take: Recruiting taste is hard to write down. Your company has passed on candidates who look great on paper and hired people other companies would have filtered out. CrustRecruiter is a bet that Claude can learn those patterns from your history, not from a generic criteria list. CrustData already has the data layer. The novel part is the transfer of institutional knowledge that normally lives in one person's head.

Farrukh Butt (@farrukh_butt1) posted the question founders ask themselves and usually answer wrong: how do you tell the difference between work that moves things forward and work that just feels like work?

The thread converged fast. Building product felt safe because it's trackable. Marketing, customer conversations, distribution — harder to measure, easier to skip. Fotso Tobou Achille put it plainly: "Builders are already good at building. Distribution is the actual work."

Not "do more marketing." The harder version: you keep doing the thing you're skilled at because the other thing is harder and you're not good at it yet. Most founders in the thread recognized it immediately and had no real counter-argument.
