I honestly can't keep up with this week (or any week for that matter). If you are building anything with video, you need to look at what Elon's team just dropped. xAI launched the Grok Imagine API and they are claiming it is the fastest video model on the market. The latency is apparently zero. We are talking real-time. Check it out here: https://x.ai/news/grok-imagine-api But wait, because Google isn't sitting this one out. They just released "Genie" for Ultra subscribers. This is the part that blew my mind—it’s not just generating a video you watch. It’s a "world model." You can essentially generate an interactive environment. Like a game. From a text prompt. See the demo here: https://x.com/googleai/status/2016929427784122627 I’m curious—are you guys sticking with Runway/Sora, or are we all jumping ship to Grok because of the speed? Let me know in the comments. 👇

I love finding the strange little details that actually move the needle. Saw a report today about a creator who went from 12k views to 2.1M views just by changing their body language. The hack? "Arms up." Literally just showing vulnerable, open body language in the thumbnail/hook. It signals openness to the algorithm (and humans, apparently). It sounds silly, but the numbers don't lie. Original breakdown is here: https://xcancel.com/danielhangan_/status/2016578118585053354?s=46 Also, on the "big money" side of things... A stealth AI lab called "Flapping Airplanes" (yes, real name) just raised $180M from Sequoia and Google Ventures. Nobody knows exactly what they are doing yet, other than "human-level intelligence." Keep an eye on them. With a name like that and backing like that, they are definitely up to something. https://xcancel.com/flappyairplanes/status/2016564437499728259 Have a great weekend, everyone. Go try the arms up thing and tell me if it works lol.

Hey all I appreciate each and every one of you! Been working hard to get Level 7 - AI Visionary and almost there :). Going to catch you @Nate Herk :P j/k LOL! Keep on hustling, you got this!! - Ai Titus

Hey everyone, Today I actually took a step forward and built my own Voice AI Agent platform which can directly do outbound calls. The idea came up randomly while I was on a Google Meet call with a friend, and instead of overthinking it, I decided to just try building it. In around 3 hours, I managed to set up a basic voice AI agent. It can even make outbound calls, which honestly surprised me a bit. What really stood out was the cost. A 2-minute call costs me around 2.5 cents, which feels crazy when I compare it to tools like Retell that were costing me around 7 cents per minute. It’s still very early and definitely needs improvements and more features, but it already feels fun and promising to build. I haven’t deployed it yet, but I’m planning to keep improving it.

If you've sold an AI automation to a client, any tool, any industry, I want to hear about it. I'm collecting case studies to break down on the channel. This is your chance to build authority, get your brand out there, and showcase what you've built. 🎁 Bonus: I'll be analyzing all submissions and sharing the trends with you: what's selling, which industries are buying, and where the opportunities are. So even if you don't get featured, you'll benefit from the data. 👉 Fill it out HERE Takes 5 minutes. You can submit multiple projects.
