Welcome back, agent.

This week's mission: Two tools. One practical, one unsettling. Read till the end for a mind bending riddle.

AGENT #1: Relay.app 

Nobody's Impressed You're Still Doing Tasks Manually

Most automation tools promise to save time but take weeks to learn. Relay.app lets me build actually helpful automations in just a few hours.

Automations I Made, That You Can Replicate:

1. Auto-organizing files - Files added to my drive automatically move into a corresponding folder. My cluttered drive now organizes itself.

2. Expense tracker from emails - Any email with "receipt" or "payment" gets parsed and then added to my expense spreadsheet. Now you can track your long term spending habits, and get personalized AI insights.

3. Smart recipe converter - Paste any recipe link into an Excel sheet. It scrapes the website, creates a doc with ingredients and instructions, AND automatically converts non-vegan recipes to vegan. No more scrolling through ad-filled recipe blogs.

4. Flight email organizer - Automatically labels all flight-related emails and sends flight details in a WhatsApp text to myself so I can easily share the itinerary with friends and family. No more scrolling through months of emails to find that booking from March.

** I am able to run & test all FOUR automations on the FREE plan without any fear of going over the limit **

If You Can Dream It - You Can Automate It:

Here are some more creative ways you can use Relay.app 

• Calendar AI Assistant: Relay looks at your calendar weekly and sends a summary of key meetings + AI-generated prep notes

• Task Auto-Creator: Email labeled “to-do” automatically becomes a task in Google Tasks/Notion with AI-generated next steps

• AI Content: Upload 1 YouTube/TikTok video and Relay drafts blog post, LinkedIn caption, Twitter thread

Bottom Line: No code, and no fuss - set it up once, and watch your digital life organize itself.

AGENT #2: This Person Does Not Exist
But, I Swear I’ve Seen Them IRL…

ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com is a website that loads pictures of completely fake people.

What is confusing is the faces are so realistic and familiar, it is easy to believe you have seen that person in real life before.

One of these people is 100% FAKE. Can you tell who it is?

Answer at the bottom of the newsletter

Bottom Line: AI-generated faces are indistinguishable from real ones. The implications for online trust, identity verification, and media authenticity are huge.

AI Intel Briefing

California Just Passed a Big AI Transparency Law:

Senate Bill 53 is now law in California. It mandates that large AI developers (especially those with $100M+ in training costs) must publish safety protocols and report safety incidents within 30 days. It includes protections for whistleblowers and pushes transparency.

Perplexity Makes Its $200-AI Browser “Comet” Free for Everyone:

Perplexity’s AI-powered browser Comet, formerly a premium product, is now freely available. The idea: a browser that acts like an assistant, summarizing pages, helping with research, and reducing “click overload”.

DualEntry Raises $90 Million to Disrupt ERP Market:

AI startup DualEntry has secured $90 million in Series A funding, bringing its valuation to $415 million. The company offers an AI feature called "NextDay Migration" that reduces the time of transferring financial data from legacy systems from months to just 24 hours.

Mission Debrief

AI is getting easier to use and harder to detect. Both trends are accelerating.

Answer: Person D does not exist.

A riddle for my puzzle lovers:

Suppose you are hosting a party, and assume any two people at the party are either friends or strangers. What's the smallest number of people that need to be at the party in order to guarantee that there are either 3 mutual friends or 3 mutual strangers at the party?

Solve that one? Okay, what about 4 mutual friends/strangers?
