Klarna launches creator storefronts, Apple is building a paid AI health coach, Yelp rolls out video reviews

Good morning! Pharmo bro Martin Shkreli, who recently got out of jail, has released a medical AI chatbot named "Dr. Gupta" to answer health-related questions. Why the name Gupta? Because it includes the letters g, p, and t 🤦‍♂️

🌶 Highlight of the day 🌶

Klarna launched Shops, a feature letting creators build their own storefronts on Klarna.com. Creators share their personal shop across social media accounts, and post photo or video content that links to specific products.

It's yet another move by Klarna to go deeper on the creator space, after launching a dedicated Klarna Creator app and shoppable video features last year.
