Build an app in seconds
wakey, wakey ☕️

gm legends! Welcome back to another ✨fiiine✨ edition of the Leaderboard, the newsletter where we give you the rundown on the hottest apps every day. In today's digest: an AI that browses the web for you, Bolt's mobile app generator, and an AI assistant for your Apple Watch. Also we are hosting an AMA with Andreas Klinger, the man that wants to fix Europe's tech scene. Let's go.

Automate the internet

Browser Use Cloud turns web automation into a simple command. Instead of writing scripts or clicking through repetitive tasks, you describe what you need, and it takes care of the rest—whether that’s filling out forms, managing social media, or scraping data. It’s open-source, runs in the cloud, and comes with an API so you can integrate automation into your own workflows without the usual setup headaches.

🔥 Our take: Automating web tasks sounds great—until you spend more time setting up the automation than just doing the task yourself. A tool that actually understands simple commands and runs in the cloud could make that process smoother, but the real question is whether it’s flexible enough to handle the edge cases that always seem to pop up.

Ship apps in seconds

Bolt + Expo makes building mobile apps as easy as spinning up a web project. With Bolt’s instant code generation and Supabase integration now extending to React Native, you can go from idea to a working app without getting stuck in setup. Whether you’re a developer looking to move faster or someone without coding experience, it takes the usual hurdles out of mobile development.

🔥 Our take: Bolt made web app development feel effortless with instant code, built-in backend with Supabase, and one-click deploys. Now, with Expo, it’s doing the same for mobile, making it possible to generate and ship apps. If building full-stack apps keeps getting this easy, at what point does writing everything from scratch start to feel... unnecessary?

Make a smart watch even smarter

Chirp: AI for Apple Watch brings voice-powered AI to your wrist, letting you send messages, search the web, and get quick answers without reaching for your phone. It’s built for those moments when typing on a tiny screen feels impossible but pulling out your phone isn’t ideal either.

🔥 Our take: The Apple Watch is great for checking the time and ignoring notifications, but actually using it for anything beyond that has always felt clunky. Chirp could change that by making AI-powered voice interactions more useful, but it all depends on how well it understands you. If it gets things right the first time, it might finally make the Watch feel like more than just an accessory to your iPhone.
