Prompt-driven app building tool named as a Grok Build competitor.
finmid raised a €17m Series A extension led by Big Pi Ventures to take its platform lending into vehicle finance for Bolt fleet operators. The round tests whether data from the platforms finmid lends through can price multi-year car loans for fleets that conventional lenders struggle to assess.
Reality
Bolt faces an estimated £190m in unpaid UK VAT after the Supreme Court refused to hear its appeal over the tour operators' margin scheme. Uber's £1bn dispute over the same scheme had been waiting on Bolt's case, so the refusal reaches past one company's bill.
Reality
Lucid built 2,954 cars in the third quarter, 38% fewer than in the second, against pledges of 45,000 driverless cars for Bolt and Uber. In Europe the harder limit is an EU-wide approval route that caps each vehicle type at 1,500 cars a year.

A Row Level Security policy can pass Lovable's scanner, restrict itself to authenticated users, join a membership table, and still hand every order in the database to anyone who signs up. Two SQL queries find it.

Obi, a California price and trip data aggregator, says Uber paid Nigerian drivers as much as 23% above what passengers were charged on rides under 12 miles, on a sample of more than 20,000 trips by over 300 drivers.

The public beta covers Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu, and the pages in the first detailed walkthrough are media kits and reading lists, which is the work that already lived in a shared doc.
Reality
Uber ended Nigeria and Uganda with no notice to riders or drivers, and the FCCPC is now asking what it still owed customers when the app stopped. EU platform rules would have set a 30-day notice period; Nigeria's law does not.

SpaceXAI opened its prompt-to-app builder to every Grok plan on August 19 and wired publishing straight into the X feed. The pressure on rivals lands on distribution.
