So they launched Metaview, an AI-powered note-taking app for recruiters and hiring managers that records, analyzes and summarizes job interviews.
“Metaview is an AI note-taker built specifically for the hiring process,” Magos said.
“It helps recruiters and hiring managers focus more on getting to know candidates and less on extracting data from the conversations.
“Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet all have transcription built in, which is a possible alternative to Metaview,” Magos said.
I’m skeptical and a bit wary, too, of Metaview’s approach to how it handles speech data.
We’ve seen systems that pick apples and berries, kill weeds, plant trees, transport produce and more.
A huge piece of any of these products’ value prop is the amount of actionable information their on-board sensors collect.
In a sense, Orchard Robotics’ system is cutting out the middle man.
The system cameras can capture up to 100 images a second, recording information about every tree its passes.
Then the Orchard OS software utilizes AI to build maps with the data collected.
The latter has made snake robots a compelling addition to search-and-rescue teams, as the systems can squeeze into spots people and other robots can’t.
That means a lot of ice, as NASA researchers are planning to send it to Saturn’s small, cold moon, Enceladus.
Twenty-first-century flybys from Cassini have revealed a water-rich environment, making the ice-covered moon a potential candidate for life in our solar system.
The eventual plan is to use the snake robot, Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor (EELS), to explore oceans beneath the moon’s crust and finally answer one of the universe’s big, open questions.
In fact, CMU spinout HEBI Robotics designed the modules being used in this early version of the system.
It contains the personal information of some 73 million AT&T customers.
Some AT&T customers have confirmed their leaked customer data is accurate.
But AT&T still hasn’t said how its customers’ data spilled online.
Hunt concluded the leaked data was real by asking AT&T customers if their leaked records were accurate.
But by now AT&T should be able to provide a better explanation as to why millions of its customers’ data is online for all to see.
The suit alleges that the company has a monopoly in the premium smartphone market and uses a variety of illegal tactics to perpetuate that monopoly.
Apple’s monopoly position is not nearly as clear-cut.
Microsoft Windows had well over 90% market share in the relevant market of operating systems for personal computers.
This argument is important because Apple’s market share is much lower globally (only 23%, with number-two Samsung at 16%).
There’s also a host of circumstantial proof, such as Apple’s massive and durable profit margins on iPhone sales.
It’s extremely heartening to see our little list effectively double since the last time we did one of these.
While it’s true that layoffs continue to plague the tech industry at large, there are few better fields to be expert in at the moment than Robotics and AI.
With more than 60 entries this week, there are plenty of jobs and companies to choose from, across a broad range of different segments from mail sorting to surgery to space.
To everyone who lost a job, recently graduated or is just looking for something new, here’s to finding your next big thing.

Pilot season has officially begun for the world of humanoid robotics.
Last year, Amazon began testing Agility’s Digit robots in select fulfillment centers, while this January, Figure announced a deal with BMW.
Now Apptronik is getting in on the action, courtesy of a partnership with Mercedes-Benz.
Apptronik can demonstrate clear interest from a leading automotive name, while Mercedes signals to customers and shareholders alike that it’s looking to the future.
Apptronik is a University of Austin spinout best known for its work on NASA’s Valkyrie humanoid robot.
It’s not a flat-out refutation of the form factor, so much as an acknowledgement that — in spite of investor enthusiasm — it’s not the ideal tool for every job.
This week’s Modex supply chain show inAtlanta told its own story — one populated by very few humanoids.
A number of the players I spoke with continued to express skepticism around the widespread adoption of humanoid robots in the workplace.
I heard very few outright rejections of the humanoid form factor.
These instances, which now require human intervention, could be the ideal scenario for humanoids, whether operating autonomously or teleoperated, as in the case of Reflex, the other humanoid robotics firm present at Modex.
Agility’s Digit wasn’t the only humanoid holding court at Modex in Atlanta this week.
On the opposite end of the Georgia World Congress Center, Reflex Robotics, a younger and smaller startup, was drawing its own crowd.
Passersby requested something from the Reflex robot, and it spring into action, grabbing the item off the shelf (it didn’t hurt that the company was giving out free food and beverage).
The system has a wheeled base, which is perfectly effective for navigating these kinds of layouts.
He adds that the current timeline involves having 10 to 20 Reflex robots in the world, followed by “hundreds” next year.
Locus Robotics’ success is a tale of focusing on what works CEO Rick Faulk discusses the company’s new software, the state of the industry and the future of humanoids“We’re fundamentally a software company,” Locus CEO Rick Faulk says with a laugh.
We look like a robot company, but we’re actually a software company.”It’s a familiar refrain from companies whose most public-facing products are hardware.
That’s certainly the case with Locus, which produces the best-known AMRs (autonomous mobile robots) not made by Amazon.
Former executives from the robotics startup launched their own Locus competitor, 6 River Systems.
Asked whether Locus will be the company to bring that technology to the warehouse, Faulk responds, “We will.
