Perplexity introduces always-on local AI system called Personal Computer Perplexity launched Personal Computer, a local AI setup built around a Mac mini that acts as a proxy for Perplexity Computer. The system connects the Perplexity agent with a continuously running local environment. The AI can move between tools, execute tasks autonomously, and continue work without user interaction. It also supports remote access from any device, persistent memory, and connectors to external services. The agent can work directly with local files and projects. Personal Computer is currently available through a waitlist. 💚https://t.me/wutstartups

🤖 Chinese police test AI patrol robot that moves at 60 km/h Chinese police are using a new AI patrol robot with a spherical design. Its top speed reaches about 60 km/h. The robot moves by rolling on a single large wheel-like body. The shape allows it to accelerate quickly while staying stable on the ground. The form factor is built for speed during patrol and pursuit. 💚https://t.me/wutstartups

Stanford, 2011. In a product design class, Evan Spiegel pitched an idea that made his groupmates laugh: an app where photos disappear after 10 seconds. They called it "useless." The Vision: While the world was obsessed with building permanent digital footprints, Evan and Bobby Murphy saw the value in the ephemeral. They wanted to bring the raw, unpolished honesty of real-life conversation to the internet. The Fearlessness: Spiegel didn't just ignore the skeptics; he dropped out of Stanford just weeks before graduation to bet everything on a project then called "Picaboo." The Execution: Operating out of his father's house, they built a product that prioritized the camera over the feed. They didn't just build a messenger; they invented the "Stories" format that every major social platform eventually copied. The Global Impact: What started as a "silly" project among students transformed into Snap Inc., a pioneer in augmented reality (AR) and mobile communication. Snapchat now has over 400 million daily users. It’s the ultimate proof that an idea your peers laugh at might just be the one that changes how the world connects. 💚https://t.me/wutstartups

Stanford, 1996. Two PhD students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, weren’t just studying the internet, they were about to organize it. While others saw a chaotic web of pages, they saw a giant map of human knowledge. The Vision: They realized that the importance of a webpage wasn't in its keywords, but in its connections. They aimed to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible. The Fearlessness: They ran their first version of the search engine, then called "BackRub," on the university’s servers until they nearly crashed the entire campus network. The Execution: Working out of a crowded dorm room filled with borrowed spare parts, they built a mathematical algorithm that could out-think any human librarian. The Global Impact: What began as a research paper titled "The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine" transformed into Google, a name that became a verb used by billions every single day. Google (Alphabet) is now worth over $2 Trillion. It all started with two students who were curious enough to ask a better question and bold enough to map the entire digital universe. 💚https://t.me/wutstartups
