🩺 AIHealthTech Insider: Can your face reveal health risks before symptoms appear?

This issue explores how your face may surface hidden health risks before symptoms appear from subtle blood-flow patterns linked to cardiovascular stress to passive signals that hint at metabolic and longevity trends.AI is advancing in regulated healthcare, linking everyday signals with clinical context earlier and more subtly than traditional checkups.

👉Read Issue #83 to see how facial signals, AI, and ambient sensing are redefining early health insight before problems become visible.

Big AI Moves

🔹Slack rebuilds Slackbot as a personal AI agent for work

Slack has rebuilt Slackbot from the ground up, turning it into a personal, context-aware AI agent embedded directly inside Slack. The new Slackbot understands your messages, files, channels, and workflows helping employees skip catch-up, draft content faster, and make decisions without leaving their workspace.

🔹Anthropic backs Python security with $1.5M investment

Anthropic committed $1.5M to the Python Software Foundation in a two-year partnership focused on hardening Python’s security stack. The funding targets proactive malware detection for PyPI, stronger defenses against supply-chain attacks, and sustained support for CPython and core community infrastructure.

🔹Cursor builds a browser using GPT-5.2

Cursor utilized GPT-5.2 Codex to create a web browser with over 3 million lines of Rust code, featuring a custom rendering engine and JavaScript VM. While not matching Chromium or WebKit, it rendered simple websites for a week, demonstrating GPT-5.2's prowess in complex engineering.

⚡V0 by Vercel: Build full apps from a single prompt

V0 turns plain prompts into production-ready apps, no coding required.

How it works

• Describe what you want: landing page, dashboard, blog, anything

• V0 generates layouts, components, and UI instantly

• Refine the whole app with simple follow-up prompts

• Add integrations like OpenAI, Supabase, Clerk, Stripe

Pro tip: Batch-create branded prototypes fast and ideal for founders, designers, and devs shipping quickly.
