Wealthfront launches stock investing, Uber lets drivers and riders record audio, Grammary adds generative AI

Happy Monday! One unexpected 2nd order consequence of the SVB collapse - Brex has seen such an inflow of new companies opening accounts that they've decided to devalue cash redemptions and airline transfer points by 40%.

Highlight of the day

Wealthfront launched zero-commission stock investing. The feature focuses heavily on simplified stock discovery with 'stock collections' and 'related investments'. It's a natural extension for the company from its passive investing and high-yield savings account products.
