News of the Day
This Election Day, transportation companies are stepping up with free or discounted rides to make voting more accessible. Lime, Bird, and Spin offer two free 30-minute scooter or bike rides using the codes VOTE2024 and RockTheVote2024, respectively. Lyft and Uber are giving 50% off rides to polling places, up to $10, with special election codes and in-app directions to nearby voting stations. Uber Eats will also offer 25% off orders for post-vote snacking. For those opting for a rental, Hertz is throwing in a free rental day on two-day bookings through November 5 (with restrictions). Additionally, Google Maps and Moovit are helping voters locate polling places, while transit agencies in cities like Detroit and Durham offer free rides all day to reduce transportation barriers. Check local transit options for similar free services, and make sure to plan ahead for a smooth journey to the polls!

Meet your own personal AI Agent, for everything…Proxy
Imagine if you had a digital clone to do your tasks for you. Well, meet Proxy…
Last week, Convergence, the London based AI start-up revealed Proxy to the world, the first general AI Agent.
Users are asking things like “Book my trip to Paris and find a restaurant suitable for an interview” or “Order a grocery delivery for me with a custom weekly meal plan”.
You can train it how you choose, so all Proxy’s are different, and personalised to how you teach it. The more you teach it, the more it learns about your personal work flows and begins to automate them.
Are you looking to grow your business? Here is how I can help:
