From last weekend, we’ve been hit with a barrage of exciting new releases, and guess what? It’s not slowing down anytime soon.

Every day seems to bring something fresh, and today’s no different. So, buckle up, because we’re diving into some of the latest drops that’s making waves.

🎥 The New AI Video Tool on the Block.

Amazon’s Nova Reel just went from meh to wow with its latest upgrade, Nova Reel 1.1. 

Now, what’s cool about this AI tool is that it can generate full-length videos up to two minutes long.

Yep, you read that right—TWO MINUTES.

That’s enough time to tell a compelling story, pitch your next big product, or maybe even craft the next viral video. You do you.

But here’s what’s new:

Nova Reel 1.1 can create “multi-shot “ videos with consistent style across shots.

In short, it ensures that all the shots flow together seamlessly, so your video doesn’t look like a mismatched collection of random clips.

If you're someone who likes to go big with details, the upgrade lets you input a prompt up to 4,000 characters long.

The AI then takes those words and turns them into a sleek, polished video divided into six-second shots that blend together like a smooth Hollywood production—minus the stress and the budget, of course.

And if you need a little more control, there’s a new feature called “Multishot Manual,” where you can upload an image and fine-tune each shot's composition exactly how you want it.

But here’s the catch: Nova Reel isn’t something you can just grab off the shelf. It’s only available through AWS, so if you’re not already using Amazon’s cloud services, you’ll need to request access to get started.

And, of course, no new tech release is without a few “hmm” moments.

While we’re all hyped about these AI-generated videos, Amazon’s staying pretty tight-lipped about where they sourced their training data.

In the world of generative AI, this isn’t exactly unusual—these models are trained on massive amounts of video data, some of which might be copyrighted.

But don’t stress—Amazon’s got you covered.

If any copyright issues do pop up, their indemnification policy promises to shield you if the AI-generated content accidentally steps on any legal toes.

In short, Nova Reel 1.1 is a powerhouse for anyone looking to dive into generative video creation. It’s packed with cool features, but it also raises some important questions about how AI models are trained.

So, if you’ve got some big ideas brewing, this tool could become your creative best friend. Just make sure you read the fine print before jumping in.

 🖼️ AI Mode Gets a Visual Upgrade.

Okay, so Google just leveled up its AI game again — and honestly, it’s kinda wild.

Their AI Mode (basically a smarter, chatty version of Google Search) can now see thanks to a fresh new multimodal upgrade.

Yup, it’s not just about words anymore — it can actually look at your pics and understand what’s going on.

Here’s how it works:

You can take a photo or upload one right inside the Google app (on Android or iOS), and AI Mode will break it down for you.

We’re talking full context complete with links here— not just "This is a cat," but "This is a slightly judgmental tabby cat sitting next to a plant you're definitely overwatering”, kind of detail.

It uses this clever “fan-out technique,” which basically fires off a million micro-queries about what it sees. So the responses you get are crazy detailed — and weirdly spot-on.

For instance, show it a pic of a bookshelf, and AI Mode won’t just say, “Cool books.” It’ll identify the titles, recommend similar reads with great ratings, and even answer follow-up questions.

In short: It’s like Google Lens and Gemini had a super-genius baby that understands both images and vibes.

And get this — it’s not locked behind a paywall anymore.

When AI Mode first dropped, it was only available to Google One AI Premium subscribers (you know, the ones paying extra for all the shiny toys).

But now, Google’s rolling it out to millions of additional users through Labs in the US. So if you’ve got the Google app, you might already be sitting on a major upgrade.

Basically, Google saw Perplexity and ChatGPT Search showing off, and thought “Challenge accepted!”

Now, with its upgraded AI Mode, the future of search isn’t just smarter—it’s more visual, more intuitive, and ready to change how we find answers.

🤖 ChatGPT Prompt Of The Day: Prompts For Style and Tone 

Want your content to actually sound like you?

These style and tone prompts will help you train ChatGPT to match your voice, speak to your audience, and deliver your message just the way you intended.

See this as an AI WoD!

Feed ChatGPT with other written content and ask it to match: “Here are five social media posts that represent my brand style and message well. Create five more copying this tone. They should be about topics XYZ.”

Give specific information about your target demographic: “My target client is women in their late 30s who are going through a career shift. Most of them work in 9-to-5 jobs but want to start freelancing. They are ambitious professionals who earn good money. Many of them would rather pay for something that’s proven to help than spend time researching endlessly on their own. Write a series of emails to sell my coaching services.” 

Tweak the tone: “Rewrite this to sound more [conversational, professional, witty, intelligent, casual, etc.]”
