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

If you use any new AI tool and have an opinion about it (good or bad), please let me know by replying to this email.

1. Get through More Videos with AI

We all know it’s great to continue learning and video is a great way to do that. The problem is there are only so many hours in a day and some videos are 2 or more hours long. The worst thing is to watch a two hour video and about 1.5 hours in you learn that it’s not worth your time.

One solution is to get a summary of the video using Summarize.ing. With a summary, you won’t waste time on videos that don’t have what you need. In many cases, you won’t even need to watch the video at all.

It also provides FAQs with 8-10 questions and answers, explains keywords and concepts, and provides detailed highlights and mind maps. 

I plan to try this (I just discovered it this morning). I think it’s a great idea as I’m always trying to determine which video will be worth watching. I think this could be advertising-driven and produce a lot of affiliate revenue. Eventually, these types of services will get very smart so that when you click on a part of the summary it shows you the segment of the video.

2. You (and AI) - The Movie Producer

We’ve all had ideas for a great movie, but if you’re not in that industry are you really going to write a script and shop it around? Me neither.  

Now that AI is creating video from text, you can create your own movie. Or if you want to watch some movies not made by the studios, you can do that too. AIflixhub.com allows you to do both.

For making videos, it will do everything including generate ideas for scripts, write scripts and storyboards, generate the video, dialogue and sound effects, compose soundtracks, etc. And yes there is a free tier.

3. And Videos for TikTok too

So as new platforms for creating videos arise, there is the issue of “what is the intent and format for the video?” After all, a movie has a much different intent and format from a TikTok video.

So as you might expect, there’s a new platform for creating TikTok videos using AI - VideoTok.app. Some people are generating a lot of money using TikTok so these could be very useful.

4. Your AI Viral Tweet Generator

We all know content is critical for generating an audience and expanding your reach and revenue. But it’s often tedious to create content - especially viral content - on an ongoing basis. AI to the rescue.

Hook Generator GPT will help you make viral threads on X (Twitter). I gave it a try and at first glance, it seems pretty decent.

In the News…

1.  Apple bailing on its development of electric vehicles.

2.  Google to pause Gemini (formerly Bard) after it receives backlash for its built-in racism.
