Superhuman expands with Fathom to make agentic workflows more accessible
Superhuman's acquisition of Fathom, a notetaker with over 400,000 monthly active users, signals a clear push toward agentic work. It's a smart move for a productivity platform looking to embed AI where the work actually happens: in meetings. We've seen similar momentum elsewhere, like Databricks acquiring Row Zero, which we covered as a signal of AI-native spreadsheet growth. For users, this means less time capturing and more time acting, which is exactly where productivity tools should be heading.
Bluesky's engaged core holds steady as its mobile audience contracts.
A year after its post-election surge, Bluesky's mobile app is losing active users, yet the community that remains is still showing up. That distinction matters. Shrinking numbers don't always signal disinterest; they can mean the platform is settling into a more focused, sustainable core. As Bluesky expands its ambitions beyond the app itself, the real test is whether that engagement translates into lasting value.

This is a company making bold moves, and the numbers back them up.
