Welcome back to the Leaderboard. Today: Agents are taking over your sprint, you can now crowdsource those tough decisions like what to eat tonight, and can't find that specific frame in a video? Ctrl+F it.

Shortcut for Agents plugs AI workers straight into the Shortcut backlog. Give an agent its own seat, point it at the next ticket, and watch it write code, update docs, or move cards on its own. Humans and bots share the same board, so you see exactly who (or what) shipped each task.
🔥 Our Take:
Backlogs usually grow faster than you can close them. Dropping an AI teammate into the queue feels less like a gimmick and more like hiring a junior dev who never sleeps. It grabs the boring tickets, finishes them, and leaves the weird edge cases for real people. Suddenly the sprint velocity graph makes sense again.
Choosr is a social voting app for snap decisions. Drop in a photo, a short “this or that” question, and watch real‑time votes stack up. Other polls pop up in a scroll feed, so you tap your pick for them and move on. No account drama, no paywall.
🔥 Our Take:
Decision fatigue is real, and friends lie to spare your feelings. A swarm of random users has zero emotional investment, which makes their verdict weirdly honest. Need a logo? Dinner spot? Friday night outfit? Hand it to the hive mind and live with the chaos.
TwelveLabs turns raw footage into searchable data. Drop in hours of video and use plain language or images to spot exact moments, pull summaries, or slice highlight reels. It sees visuals, hears audio, and grasps context so you don’t have to scrub timelines frame by frame.
🔥 Our Take:
ElevenLabs nailed the ears, TwelveLabs is gunning for the eyes. Typing “show me the red car” and jumping straight to that scene feels like cheating, but it is hard to go back once you try it.
Sean Hwang tossed out a survival prompt: “If you lost everything and had to start from zero, how would you bounce back?”
Responses split three ways.
• Practical hustlers would grab a part‑time job, then code at night until something sticks.
• Mindset folks said the only asset you keep is your headspace, so rebuild starts with clarity and one small win.
• System builders talked backup habits and cloud copies so a wipeout hurts less next time.
The thread is a mix of scrappy playbooks and straight‑up therapy. Worth a scroll if you like hearing how builders would claw back when the scoreboard resets to zero.
