Most of iOS users would agree — Siri sucks. YC President & CEO Garry Tan blames Apple’s closed system, recently tweeting that Siri's failure is due to "the sin of self preferencing and closed systems."

K, so how about an assistant that uses multiple LLMs?

Enter Martin, a new AI butler and iOS app. Martin not only comes with a delightfully posh British accent, he integrates with all the tools you already use, like your search engine, calendars, and emails.

The makers demoed a few promising features in Martin’s launch last week, including letting you cc Martin into your email thread to schedule meetings for you, instead of bouncing back and forth between tools. He’ll also notice events on your calendar and preemptively help you prep for them, like finding you a restaurant for your dinner meeting and sending you popular menu items ahead of time.

One huge benefit to Martin is that he’s easily reachable by text, email, and voice. Martin’s founders shouted out Deepgram for helping make Martin's voice capabilities fast and accurate. They also noted using AI models Claude-3 and GPT-4 Turbo.

And yes, YC is putting its money and support where its mouth is. Martin is YC-backed; a part of the Summer 2023 cohort.

As for Siri, “she” might not be along much longer — at least, not by name. Researchers from Apple are working on getting their assistant to work without needing a trigger phrase like “Siri.”

Don’t worry, old girl. We won’t forget you.

A startup called Reflect Orbital is literally (kind of) selling sunlight. Reflect is working to create satellites that reflect light from constellations onto solar farms. This would turn essentially useless nighttime solar panels into 24/7 energy-generating machines. Read more from WeridWideWeb.
