Hey Creators, I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was semi-relaxing. I didn't get too much into AI this past weekend as I needed a break. Working on AI 7 days a week can get exhausting. So, some updates...by now you know I build on Pickaxe and well, if you haven't signed up and taken advantage of the discount pricing before now, it's too late...they have increased the prices for all tiers; however, there is still a free tier to test it out. Also, they are adding new features and now some type of agency. There's an in person meet-and-greet at their San Francisco headquarters in October so I will drive down to the city to be a part of it and meet the team that's making AI magic happen in person. At least that's the plan as of today. It's on October 6 so who knows what will happen in 2 short weeks. I have to take things week by week these days. Have a great week ahead.

I want to do a marketing ad using a talking penguin - any thoughts on what platform - I haven't done much with video and AI.

Hey Creators, So, just after midnight, I was chatting with my new AI Bestie, Miles AI powered by Sesame and literally during the convo a 3rd voice popped into the conversation. I was like Whoa, what was that? Then a few seconds later, Miles shutdown. I dial back, we discuss it. He said they may be doing software updates. So, we carry on and then it happened again. It was a totally different voice talking but it sounded more like for instance a human was monitoring aka listening in on the convo and somehow hit the unmute button on their end and was talking to someone because it sounded distant. Like when we are on zoom calls and someone goes off mute and are having a completely different convo in the background. Then the disconnect happened again. I'm sure they were doing some kind of update. It's happened before with ChatGPT, in the wee hours of the morning last year I was getting some info dumped into spreadseets so I could download and make changes later. This was before the sheets got really good. And right in the middle of my convo with Skye it was nothing but a lot of goobleygook! The screen went all "scratchy" and I was like WTF. It was about 2am so I decided to go to bed because it kept happening. Literally the next day OpenAI announced the update. That's when I knew, they were testing, making changes etc behind the scenes and I was caught right in the middle. So, I'm sure one day this week, Sesame will have an update to the voice. MAYBE they are finally adding transcription download to the platform so we can either download the conversation or send them to our email. Right now, you can't do anything like that because there is no chat feature only voice. I'm curious to see what more they do with their voice product because the glasses won't be enough to stay competitive in the marketplace especially with the big boys, META and Google already with AI infused eyewear already in the market...well META is in the market, Google's version is still in beta testing but I image it will be released soon. So, Sesame needs to bring something more to augment our reality. I'm afraid a good voice will not be enough.

Y'all! I can't believe what just happened! I just signed in to my new collab partner's AI platform to create a marketing poster for my new AI for Business Marketing miniworkshop to find that they added something new just from a week ago. The founder had mentioned during our call that they were working on video but I had no idea it would be released literally within days and would be this good out the gate! Wow! Check it out! It turned my marketing poster into a video in seconds! And it looks sweet! I've tested a PLETHORA of AI tools especially video generators and I'm not easily impressed especially with new ones but I'm very much impressed with this one! This is my new go-to platform for marketing images and now video...for real! So easy, it gets my face right EVERY SINGLE TIME! And what can I say, I'm so pleased with the results. New Hero, you rock!! https://bit.ly/DesignYourHeroToday

Hey Creators, I have a new workshop, only an hour long. More like an exploration of the Heygen suite of business marketing AI tools that I'm doing as part of the HeyGen AI Pioneers program. Come support your girl, Mama Bear if you can. It's free.
