Reddit bills itself as “the most human place on the internet,” but the proliferation of artificial intelligence-generated content is threatening to squeeze some of the humanity out of the news-sharing forum. Content moderators on some of Reddit’s most popular boards see some value in artificial intelligence-generated content, but they’re generally fearful that AI will reduce the utility and social value of a community that prides itself on authenticity. “They were concerned about it on three levels: decreasing content quality, disrupting social dynamics and being difficult to govern,” said Travis Lloyd, doctoral student in the field of information science. “And to…
“Most shipping companies lack the tools to make data-driven voyage decisions in real time,” explained THETIS AI. “THETIS AI is democratizing access to advanced voyage planning for a wide range of operators, accelerating digitalization and sustainability efforts in a traditionally conservative industry.” Launched in 2025, THETIS AI was founded by former Israeli Navy officer Roei Shaham, who recognized the significant inefficiencies and environmental costs of traditional voyage planning, and teamed up with deep-tech entrepreneur Ohad Levin to address them. “THETIS AI’s mission is to drive a more efficient, sustainable, and intelligent future for global shipping,” they said.

Last Tuesday marked the 40th anniversary of Excel, one of the most powerful and influential tools ever created by the global software industry. When Microsoft’s now-legendary spreadsheet program was born — originally for Apple’s rival Macintosh computer — it wasn’t the first of its kind. Its predecessor, Lotus 1-2-3, still dominated the market. What began as a simple, focused tool for accountants and bookkeepers evolved into a global powerhouse that helped drive the personal computing revolution. From students to CEOs, from startups to governments — Excel is now used by some 800 million people worldwide. What is less known is…

An estimated 225 million people around the world today wear a smartwatch, using it to keep track of text messages, emails and even how many steps they have taken. And now, thanks to software created by an Israeli startup and the little sensor on the device itself, smartwatch owners can also keep track of their emotional wellbeing, including stress levels, anxiety and amount of sleep they are getting. NeuroBrave co-founder and CEO Dror Talisman tells NoCamels that the startup’s NeuroSpeed AI analysis software takes data about the user’s blood flow gathered by the photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor on the back of…
Israeli public transport app Moovit, which helps travelers navigate local journeys in more than 100 countries, has launched a new platform for longer, intercity trips. The cross-regional planning will allow users to plan journeys across regions of a country, using both public and shared transportation. The app already covers a range of methods of public transport, including buses, trains and even motorized scooters available for hire on the street. The new platform lets travelers plan routes between locations in different regions of a country where Moovit is active, within the same time zone in locations with more than one. Users…
A frustrating experience as a caregiver for her then-boyfriend with cancer made Maayan Cohen realize that non-medical personnel in a medical setting needed help understanding the information in front of them. Despite dutifully tracking his treatment herself, Cohen realized that noting down his vitals in a binder full of papers was not helping her understand his condition or manage his medical records. Many others in a similar situation, she realized, were also tracking the vital signs of sick loved ones. But without a doctor at hand, it was hard to know what could help or hinder the condition.
Leaning on our friends and family during these challenging times has been an immense relief for many of us, but one of the most important forums for solidarity in this era shaped by conflict and tragedy is not so visible. The power of online community has played an invaluable role in providing wartime support, and Nathanaelle Klein, Technion alumna and Chief Product Officer at Soli, is one of the talented individuals shaping an empowering online community in Israel right now. In speaking with Nathanaelle, I learned about how the academic foundation she acquired at the Technion inspired her global career, and…
Israel, the land flowing with milk and honey, is wasting millions of tons of its food every year. In fact, according to Leket Israel, the country’s leading food rescue organization, over one third of all the food that it produces gets thrown away. An Israeli startup is looking to put a dent in this statistic by providing bakeries, delis and other food establishments with a platform to specifically sell the food products remaining at the end of the day, which would otherwise be trashed. SpareEat’s app lets Israelis purchase “surprise bags” of pastries, sandwiches, produce and more at heavily discounted…
A new app has created a virtual sisterhood for thousands of women across Israel, giving them a safe space to share their experiences, their problems and even just their thoughts – particularly in wartime. The Soli app allows users to anonymously express their state of mind and their feelings, called Moods on the app, ranging from common emotions like happy, stressed or lonely to more specific sentiments such as “in the mood for a night out,” “looking for new friends” and “in need of advice.” Opening the app takes the user to a map, where they see other users and their Moods,…
Moshe, a computer programmer who suffers from a life-long stutter, tried every kind of treatment to ease the jaw spasms, severe facial twitches and feelings of suffocation he experienced whenever he spoke. But every time he’d step out of a clinic or treatment center, he had no way of preserving the methods he had just been taught to manage his condition. That’s when he decided to use his technological skills to develop an algorithm capable of analyzing and monitoring his speech to ensure he was practicing these various stuttering techniques correctly. Six years later, he joined forces with speech language…
