Viggle takes a still image of a character and makes it move. Give it a picture plus a reference video or a text prompt, and its JST-1 model maps realistic movement onto the character: walking, dancing, gesturing. The motion has weight to it, so the character looks like it's standing on the ground instead of floating. It started out on Discord and now has web and mobile apps, which makes it much easier to pick up. The free plan gives you five videos a day. The limits are real. Clips run under 15 seconds, there's no audio, and beyond the preset animation styles you can't customize much. It's fun to play with and good for quick social clips and memes. Don't expect an animation studio.

IrisGo is a desktop assistant for people who run a business on their own. At 8 every morning it reads your calendar and unread email and sends you a short brief in chat. In the demo, that's three priorities, two client calls, and an Adobe invoice due today. From there it triages your inbox and picks up the rest of the day's admin. The headline trick is Watch & Learn: you do a task once while IrisGo watches, and after that it can repeat the steps for you. It runs on Windows 11 (64-bit) and Apple Silicon Macs. There's no version for Intel Macs or phones. The beta is free and updates itself, and IrisGo only sees the data and workflows you give it permission to see. The company is backed by Andrew Ng's AI Fund, but it hasn't said what IrisGo will cost once the beta ends. Don't confuse it with Iris, the agent you text from iMessage.

Riverside Agents adds four AI helpers to Riverside's recording studio. Producer preps the session, down to suggesting eight questions worth asking your guest. Editor turns the raw recording into an episode: it tightens pacing, cleans up audio, cuts filler words, switches layouts, and adds captions and branding. Clipper finds the moments worth posting and cuts them. Marketer writes the captions and the newsletter and schedules the posts. You decide how much to hand over. Any step can stay manual, and nothing is published until you approve it. The agents also work on old recordings, so a back catalog can be clipped and promoted again. For businesses, the same crew sets up a webinar's registration page, invites, and run of show. Agents ship on every plan, on web and mobile. Pro is $29 a month, or $24 billed yearly, with 2,000 AI credits. Extras like AI B-roll spend credits when an agent uses them.

Savor is a free phone app for the things too small or too vague for a to-do list: call the dentist, book that trip, deal with the parking fine. Say it, type it, or snap a photo of the letter or flyer, and Savor turns it into a card. Cards sit in three lanes, Now, Soon, and Later, and come back with a reminder when their date gets close. The AI part is Take Action, still in beta. Open a card and it helps you work out the next step: compare options, build a list, look up public information, or draft the message you've been putting off. You can also hand a card to someone else who uses Savor; once they accept, it's theirs, reminders included. Photos of bills and letters are read automatically, and Siri can add cards hands-free. It's free on iPhone and Android while the company has paid plans on hold.
