The new update has a scan feature, which lets users scan a physical document and import the text to listen to it later.
The company is introducing a feature to let users read their emails by integrating their Gmail accounts.
The app can also help users import their PDF attachments into the Speechify app.
For instance, read later app Pocket, which is owned by Mozilla, has an in-app text-to-speech feature.
Speechify wants to stand out in this market and wants to become a one-stop shop for anyone thinking about reading experiences by offering all kinds of integrations.
Glean wants to beat ChatGPT at its own game — in the enterpriseGenAI has its issues.
Enter Glean, whose software connects to enterprise first- and third-party databases to field plain-English requests (e.g.
In 2019, Jain — along with a small founding team — built Glean as an AI-powered search app geared toward enterprise customers.
But Jain asserts that Glean is “secure” and “private” — at least to the extent a cloud-based GenAI platform can be.
“Glean [can recommend the] documents users might need for their day-to-day work by learning from past work patterns,” Jain said.
When the large cloud providers have excess compute capacity, they tend to discount it through programs like AWS’s and Azure’s spot instances.
While in the recovery room, Surkov shared his idea for a company that would make this excess data center capacity available to developers.
Because of his experience with networking at Cisco and decentralized systems in crypto, Surkov had become interested in why there is so much friction in using decentralized compute.
In addition to these decentralized projects, NodeShift has also set up deals with independent data center operators.
Just on the data center side, the company says, it currently has access to about 400,000 CPUs and 28 million terabytes of storage.
Chris Power, founder and CEO of industrial automation startup Hadrian, is a student of history.
“Never before in history has a declining empire beaten a rising empire, ever,” he said in a recent interview.
He had been running small e-commerce businesses and had been head of sales and marketing at an enterprise software company in Australia.
Construct Capital, WCM, Bracket Capital, Shrug Capital, Lux Capital, A16Z, Founders Fund, S&A, Silent Ventures, Cubit Capital, Caffeinated and other existing investors also participatedc.
Power said some customers expressed interest in alternate models, like having Hadrian build a dedicated facility to ensure committed factory capacity.
Of the professions in danger of being replaced by AI, language teacher is certainly up there.
One of those is Loora, which leans on conversational AI to teach English to students.
“The idea for Loora [came from] our frustration with language learning,” Mor told TechCrunch in an email interview.
Quite a few English learning platforms offer features along those lines, including OpenAI-backed Speak, Preply (which recently doubled down on AI tech) and ELSA.
Loora also intends to launch an enterprise service, broadening beyond its current customer base of 15,000 app users.
The husband-and-wife duo departed World View in 2018; the following year, they started another balloon company, Space Perspective, this time squarely focused on ultra-high-altitude tourism.
Space Perspective, which aims to commence commercial service as soon as the end of this year, is entering a nascent market: its closest competitors are Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin, which offer rides to suborbital space.
There’s duration: a flight on New Shepard takes 11 minutes from lift-off to landing; Space Perspective’s will last six hours.
Simultaneously, Space Perspective is working with the U.S. Coast Guard, which maintains regulatory authority over space-related activities that occur in water.
One notable difference is development costs: Space Perspective has raised $77 million from investors since 2019, while Virgin Galactic has spent more than $1 billion developing its system.

“[AI] affects all parts of an investment fund, from analysts to partners and back-office functions,” Song said.
Dili isn’t the first to apply AI to the due diligence process.
Gartner predicts that by 2025, more than 75% of VC and early-stage investor executive reviews will be informed using AI and data analytics.
The question is, can Dili’s AI — or any AI really — be trusted when it comes to managing a portfolio?
Dili ran an initial pilot last year with 400 analysts and users across different types of funds and banks.
Leveraging resources such as virtual data rooms and shared labs makes it easier for biotech startups to grow.
“For this to work, the world would need to scale up the number of MRI scans it does by at least 100x.
Co-working for biotechShared lab spaces have been a game changer for biotech startups, Nature reported.
This reminded me of Startup Battlefield alum Parallel Health — its chief scientist officer Nathan Brown had mentioned shared labs in passing when we chatted at Disrupt.
“If you’re thinking about starting a company, try to visit a few just to see which one is the best.”Virtual data roomsVirtual data rooms are another important resource for biotech startups.
The electric field approach minimizes the movement of electrons at the chip level, reducing energy usage — and heat.
TOPS/W is a bit of a vague metric, but the takeaway is that memcapacitors can lead to dramatic energy consumption reductions while training AI models.
Now, it’s early days for Semron, which Kirschen says is in the “pre-product” stage and has “negligible” revenue to show for it.
EnCharge, like Semron, is designing computer chips that use capacitors rather than transistors, but using a different substrate architecture.
Semron will be a key element in solving this problem by providing a revolutionary new chip that is inherently specialized on computing AI models.
