Hello lovely members! I don't know what happened, but either I have become 10x slower or the time has become 10x faster since last week! I am behind on most things since last week and I was hoping to do some work during the weekend, but I got a pleasure to hang out with my kids all by myself this weekend instead😂 (it was great, but 0 time for work). So my only goal this week ahead is to stay FOCUSED on the tasks at hand and actually FINISH them 🫠 I hope you are feeling more productive than I've been and wishing you an amazing week ahead! Feel free to what you are working on in the comments and let us know if you need any support from the community along the way🫶

OpenAI rolled out ChatGPT Images 2.0 yesterday (April 21) and it's live for all of us today. Short rundown of what it is and where it fits into our work. What changed: - Text inside images actually works now - image/text, posters, thumbnails, infographics all render cleanly. - Two modes: Instant (fast) and Thinking (reasons before it draws, keeps characters and objects consistent across frames). - Up to 8 images from one prompt with continuity - carousels, storyboards, and series hold together. - 2K output, native 4K on paid plans, wide aspect ratio support, improved non-Latin text (Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Bengali, Chinese). - Paid plans include a full commercial license. First reactions from the AI community: The common take is that this is the moment AI image gen moves from "fun toy" to "asset production." Text rendering and character consistency are the two things people keep pointing to as the real unlocks. There's also pushback - some designers are calling it a "slop renaissance" and flagging concerns about visual sameness across the web (I both agree and disagree, but also hugely emphasize with designers). Where I see this opening things up for us: - Content creation - infographics, carousels, post designs, Reel covers, thumbnails, data visuals, illustrations, custom graphics, mockups, product photography. Basically every visual asset in your content stack. - Personal brand & storytelling - this is the layer I'm most excited about. How do you use it to tell your story, showcase your work, and make abstract ideas visual for the visual learners in your audience? Quote cards, announcement visuals, behind-the-scenes illustrations, concept explainers etc. - Educational content & services - workbooks, lesson slides, diagrams, process illustrations, course visuals. If you teach, this collapses a huge chunk of the "make it visual" work. - Print-on-demand & merch - huge! Designs, mockups, full merch drops, poster art. Paid plans include a commercial license so you can actually sell it. - Digital products - also huge. SVGs, stock images, digital artwork, illustration packs, bundles. - Client work - storyboards, mood boards, concept visuals, campaign mockups. A much faster way to pitch and deliver creative work. - Ad-creatives - creating multiple ad creatives based on your product, offer or content.

The biggest buzz is around its AI design capabilities, which are potentially replacing tools like Lovable, Adobe, Sigma etc etc. Interesting news today, one of my favorite comments/reactions to this on Reddit is "just by thinking about Opus 4.7 i have exceeded my limit" 😅 Opus 4.6 model brought an exponential jump in capabilities, and assuming that even more of the new model's development is outsourced to Claude itself (meta, I know) and releasing this, according to rumors, roughly 3 months later - I am very curious what the experience would be...

Friday already? Ah! How's everyone's week been? Any cool automation wins? Instead of stopping to do more half built automations, I've built a framework to scale my ability to half build automations lol. The secret is to never finish, always start!

I built something I want to share with this community. MoMo is an AI companion for reflection and emotional wellbeing: voice and text, remembers across sessions, surfaces patterns you can't see yourself. Built for people carrying a lot who finally want a space that listens without judgment. We're in early alpha and I'd love for a few of you to try it and tell me what you think. Especially curious what the AI-curious minds here notice about how it works. Free to try…no credit card, no commitments. Here comes a link: http://momopocketcoach.pro/try?ref=qCuTamqv Happy to answer any questions about how we built it. Maria 🤍
