OpenAI's TikTok Killer

Tue 9:03 PM•producthunt

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

OpenAI’s TikTok Killer

OpenAI’s new drop has two parts. First, Sora 2, a video model that can spit out high-quality short clips from prompts. Second, an actual TikTok competitor where every single video in the feed is AI-generated. You can even hand over your face for cameos, which means strangers’ prompts can star… you.
Krisp AI Note Taker captures any meeting, online or in person, then transcribes and summarizes it in 16+ languages. Tap to record, use Krisp Bot to auto-join virtual calls, upload audio/video, and sync it all between mobile and desktop. Noise cancellation built-in.
Sorce is an AI-powered job app that works like Tinder. Swipe right to apply, left to skip, and it handles the forms and cover letters for you. It’s already clocked 20M swipes and helped users score interviews at places like SpaceX, OpenAI, and Twitch.
Glazed AI takes your Figma files and spits out tracking events and code you can actually use. Instead of endless handoffs and back-and-forth over what should be tracked, it maps designs to events, then gives you ready-to-drop code for your stack.
Instruct wants to kill the pain of brittle automation tools. Instead of piecing together workflows with loops, variables, and endless “if this then that” logic, you just describe the job in plain English and it spins up an AI agent to handle it.

WHAT’S HOT

AI’s going mining

Meta’s chatbot might soon be your ad whisperer. Starting December 16, the company will begin mining AI conversations to decide which ads and content to show you on Facebook and Instagram.

Ask the bot about hiking trails, and don’t be surprised if hiking boots and trail mix start popping up in your feed. You can’t opt out, though chats about politics, religion, health, and other sensitive topics won’t be used. Past conversations are also off-limits, and the policy won’t apply in the EU, U.K., or South Korea (for now).

This is Meta’s latest play to make its massive AI investment—Zuckerberg says up to $600 billion in infrastructure—pay for itself. For now, ads are footing the bill, with $47 billion rolling in just last quarter.

And Meta’s not alone. OpenAI is testing in-chat shopping with Shopify and Etsy. Musk’s X is pushing its Grok AI model to advertisers. Google’s tinkering with ads in AI search. Everyone’s chasing the same prize: turning costly AI experiments into cash.

Meta’s bet? That you won’t mind your chatbot confessions turning into targeted ads—because that’s how it plans to bankroll your “supersmart personal agent.”

TRENDING DISCUSSIONS

💬 Poll: Is GPT-5 Holding Back?

Ashok Nayak wonders if GPT-5 is playing it safe compared to prior models. He says GPT-5 feels more cautious — hesitating around “messy topics” like politics or macroeconomics.

What folks observed:

Some say GPT-5 takes more guardrails, gives softer answers, and avoids extremes
Others point out it still handles complexity better than before, but with more restraint
A few replied that this pacing feels like maturity, not shrinking power

The tension: are we losing boldness for safety, or gaining wisdom wrapped in restraint?
