gooood morning and welcome back to another edition of the Leaderboard! In today's issue, we're checking out a tool that makes your terminal less stress-inducing, Mistral's latest big launch, and Gumroad's AI landing page generator. Let's dive in.
BashBuddy is a command-line tool that translates plain English into bash or PowerShell commands, making terminal work easier for beginners and pros alike. It runs offline for privacy, but if you want faster processing, there is a $2 cloud option. It is also open-source, meaning the community can improve and expand on it.
🔥 Our take: The terminal is powerful, but let’s be honest, half of us are just copying commands from Stack Overflow and hoping for the best. BashBuddy turns natural language into executable commands, cutting out the guesswork. For developers who do not want to memorize every flag and function, this could be a real time-saver.
Mistral OCR is an open-source optical character recognition model built for speed and accuracy. It extracts text from images and scanned documents without the heavy processing requirements of traditional OCR tools. Designed to handle real-world challenges like low-quality scans and complex fonts, it aims to be a lightweight but powerful alternative for developers and businesses alike.
🔥 Our take: OCR has been around forever, yet somehow, even in 2025, half the tools out there still butcher text extraction. Mistral OCR wants to be the one that actually works—fast, lightweight, and reliable. If it can handle messy receipts, bad handwriting, and scanned PDFs without turning everything into gibberish, it could be a real win
Gum.new lets Gumroad sellers break out of the platform’s cookie-cutter storefronts and build landing pages that actually reflect their brand. With customization tools and templates, it gives creators more control over how their products look and feel.
🔥 Our take: Gumroad has always been the go-to for indie creators, but let’s be honest, those default product pages feel like you’re setting up a yard sale. gum.new finally gives sellers the tools to make their storefronts look as good as what they’re selling. If you have spent hours perfecting your product, you probably do not want to present it on a page that looks like everyone else's.
If you're building voice applications and still struggling with transcription accuracy, it's time to meet Deepgram Nova-3. Built for the most challenging acoustic environments, from packed call centers to high-stakes trading floors, Nova-3 delivers real-time transcription with industry-leading accuracy–54.2% better for streaming, 47.4% for pre-recorded data. Plus, you can adapt industry-specific vocabulary on the fly, without model retraining. Finally, enterprise speech-to-text that speaks your language.
AI voices are getting scarily good. But how close are we to creating full AI-generated courses that are indistinguishable from real people?
That’s exactly what one Product Hunt member asked in Mati Staniszewski’s AMA. The ElevenLabs CEO responded:
"We might already be there for certain voices, use cases, and languages. With just 30 minutes of high-quality audio, you could create an amazing version today."
If that is possible now, what is next? From AI narration to emotional expression, Mati answered questions about where voice AI is headed, what still needs work, and what people wish they could do with it.
Curious? Have your own voice AI wishlist?
