👋 Hello hello,
❗Before diving in, this is for the business owners and entrepreneurs: we're building AI automation workflow guides: step-by-step, click-by-click, tool-by-tool so the repetitive work runs itself. Tell us what you'd automate.
Remember when Claude Fable 5 basically vanished for three weeks over an export control mess? It's back. Same week, a company wants to put an AI computer on your finger, and OpenAI just showed off its first piece of hardware, and it's not the fancy Jony Ive gadget everyone's been waiting for. It's a keyboard.
Feels like everyone's racing to get AI off your screen and onto your body, or at least your desk. Let's get into it.
🔥🔥🔥 Three Exclusive AI Updates
Fable 5 is live again on all paid Claude plans after Anthropic worked through the export control situation with the US government. The catch: Anthropic retrained its cybersecurity classifiers to be stricter, which means the model will flag more requests as risky, even harmless ones, at least for now.
If a request gets flagged, it automatically falls back to Opus 4.8 instead of just failing. Anthropic says the vast majority of everyday coding work won't notice a difference, and they're actively working to cut down the false positives over the coming weeks.
Worth knowing if you or your team lean on Fable 5 for anything security-adjacent. You might see the odd request bounce to Opus 4.8 without warning.
Oasis just opened preorders on a titanium smart ring built around subvocal voice, a tiny built-in trackpad, and motion gestures. The pitch is simple: control your phone and apps without pulling out your phone or talking out loud.
It's $289, ships this Christmas, and already works with iPhone, Mac, and Vision Pro. It's an early bet, but it's part of a bigger pattern we keep seeing: AI companies trying to get computing off the screen and into something you barely notice you're wearing.
OpenAI teased its first-ever piece of hardware this week, and it's not the long-rumored Jony Ive device (that's still delayed into 2027). It's Codex Micro, a small programmable macro pad built with keyboard maker Work Louder, designed to speed up how you use Codex, OpenAI's coding assistant.
Think physical shortcut buttons for AI coding tasks instead of memorizing keyboard combos. It launches July 15, no pricing yet, but Work Louder's similar existing device runs about $199

🔥🔥 Two Pro AI Tools
1. 🧩 v0 Templates
Vercel's v0 now has a full template gallery, dozens of ready-made AI apps, dashboards, landing pages, and components you can duplicate and customize instead of building from a blank prompt. Great if you want a working starting point rather than staring at an empty canvas.
2. ⌨️ Acti
Acti calls itself the first "agentic keyboard." You type your request in any app, long-press a bar above your keyboard, and it triggers an action, drafting a message, pulling weather, checking your calendar, whatever you've wired up. Its Skill Builder lets you connect apps like Notion, Gmail, and Calendly directly to keystrokes. Available on iOS and Android.
🔥 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do With AI
You can now create auto-written reports directly from your business dashboards using Databox's free Claude skills library. Here’s how:
Head to Databox's Skills Marketplace and pick a skill that matches your data, GA4 traffic, Stripe revenue, HubSpot pipeline, and more are covered.
Connect that data source inside your Databox account (one-time setup).
Link Databox to Claude through the Databox MCP connection.
Import the skill file into Claude.
Run it whenever you want a structured, written report pulled from your live numbers instead of staring at a dashboard yourself.
It's free, and it's a solid way to stop manually summarizing your own metrics every week.
