I want to thank you for subscribing, and now reading, my newsletter! It would help me out if you would click on a link (any link will do). This tells Gmail and other programs that we are not spam. FYI - none of my links are affiliate links.

1. AI Video Editor

I’ve been thinking about creating a YouTube channel because it’s clear that creating valuable content is essential for business growth. The problem is I don’t know anything about it and especially don’t know anything about video editing.

FireCut appears to be a great solution because it effortlessly cleans up footage, switches cameras and does a lot of other stuff that I didn’t even know needed to be done. Worth checking out if you need video editing. 14 day free trial.

2. Your AI Podcast Creator

Podcasts, as an alternative to video content, are a bit easier to create since there is no video needed. The problem is sitting down (after writing a blog or newsletter) to create the podcast. Who’s got time for that? Now you don’t have to.

Wondercraft.ai creates the podcast from your existing written content. So if you write a newsletter, a blog, or other written content, a podcast is only a click away. Try for free.

3. AI Copy

Small businesses often use word of mouth to grow. But if you want to scale quickly you’ll need to run ads. Copywriting - the ability to create ads that result in leads or sales - is a skill that can take years to develop. Even large businesses hire advertising agencies to buy media and write copy. So how’s a small guy going to compete?

Use AI to help you write copy, that’s how. Yaara.ai is here to help you write copy that converts and “SELLS itself!” And it’ll do so a lot faster than you. This is especially helpful if English isn’t your first language. It can translate your voice into one of 26 languages. 7 day free trial and no credit card required.

4. ChatGPT is Processing Audio and Video

ChatGPT regularly gets updates that, while interesting to the AI aficionados, are not of much interest to the general public. This one is different. Till now, you would typically need to type in your portion of the conversation with ChatGPT and it would output text in response - hence the name CHAT GPT.

Now, you can use your voice to speak to ChatGPT and it can speak its responses back to you. You can choose one of 5 voices for it. But that’s not the cool part.

ChatGPT also can now understand photos, screenshots and documents containing text. In this demo, the user uploads a pic of his bike manual and toolkit and ChatGPT tells him which wrench to use to change his seat height. Full video here.

In the News…

1. Spotify is using AI to clone podcast voices to translate the podcasts into other languages. Starting with a handful of English-speaking podcasters, the podcasts will be translated into Spanish first and then French and German. This will significantly increase their audiences and revenue.

2.  Tesla AI released a video of it’s robot sorting blocks and doing yoga poses. Two years ago it couldn’t do anything and they had a guy in a costume to impersonate the robot. Now, the smoothness and dexterity is amazing. They are progressing very fast. Worth a watch. Click here.
