gm legends and welcome back to the Leaderboard, the newsletter where we break down the products you might want to pay attention to. In today's issue: A tool for ultra fast writing, a recording studio for your presentations, an always on AI agent for your life, and our interview with Replit CEO, Amjad Masad. Let's dive in.
FlowDrafter: Write faster by not editing as you go
FlowDrafter is brilliant in its simplicity—no logins, no passwords, just open a tab and start writing. But the real magic is how it blurs out your previous thoughts as soon as you hit Enter. I didn’t realize how much time I waste rereading and editing until it forced me to stop, and suddenly, I could focus entirely on getting my ideas down. Even using it as a one-off exercise is fascinating—it’s like watching your own thought process unfold without interruptions. Honestly, this feature deserves to be everywhere—imagine it in email or document editors as a toggle. Game-changer.
Rally: Recording studio for product presentations
I love Screen Studio and Tella, they're great for product demos. However they aren't always the best for B2B product walk throughs or business updates. That's why I find Rally intriguing. They don't try to do it all, like Canva but instead focus on a specific use case - video for business and teams. It has nice features like follow cursor and zoom with simple editing that makes producing product updates, presentations, or even SaaS demos really nice.
DryMerge: AI Agents that work for you 24/7
DryMerge lets you create AI agents that connect to your apps and automate tasks. You describe a process in natural language (e.g. add invoices to an Excel sheet), and it will create an agent to run the task 24/7 in the background. This definitely feels like the right direction for agents; not one-size-fits-all, but tailored to automate away the specific drudgery that a given team has to deal with. Strategically, though, I wonder how DryMerge is thinking about fending off the threat of a frontier company like OpenAI swooping in and building out this kind of functionality internally…
