ChatGPT now available via phone and WhatsApp during event!

📢 BREAKING NEWS

Quick hits from around the AI world:

1. ChatGPT
2. During the ’12 Days of OpenAI’ event, you can reach ChatGPT by calling 1-800-ChatGPT or by messaging on WhatsApp.
3. In my experience, this kind of access matters more than people think. If you’re out, commuting, or you just don’t want to open another app, phone/WhatsApp is a lot more convenient. Want a quick rewrite? Ask a question while you’re walking. Need help drafting a message? Send it and keep moving.
4. Tip: If you use WhatsApp, keep your first message short and specific. For example: “Draft a friendly email to reschedule a meeting. Tone: professional but warm. Length: 120 words.” You’ll get better results faster than dumping a whole story at once.
5. Jetson Orin™ Nano Super
6. NVIDIA’s Jetson Orin™ Nano Super is positioned as a tiny AI supercomputer—small enough to hold in your hand, but built for real AI workloads.
7. What I like about this category is the “from idea to prototype” speed. Instead of waiting on cloud resources, you can build on-device demos—things like vision projects, edge analytics, and generative AI experiments—without needing a full workstation setup.
8. Tip: If you’re working on a prototype, start by defining your latency target (even informally). “Must respond in under 1 second” changes what model you choose and how you optimize.
9. GitHub Copilot Free
10. VS Code now offers GitHub Copilot at no cost for chat and completing code, plus features like editing multiple files and choosing different models.
11. I’ve found “free access” matters most when you’re experimenting. It’s the difference between “I’ll try it later” and actually testing whether it fits your workflow. If you’re a developer, this is especially handy for speeding up repetitive tasks—like scaffolding functions, writing tests, or generating boilerplate.
12. Quick reality check: Even with Copilot, you still need to review. It can be confidently wrong, especially with edge cases. Treat it like a strong assistant, not an autopilot.

🤖 BEST NEW AI TOOLS

I’m always looking for tools that save time without creating a new mess to clean up later. Here are the ones that caught my attention:

2. IllustrateAI– Create clear and detailed digital drawings, ideal for personal and business uses
3. If you ever need diagrams, product sketches, or “make this look understandable” visuals, this is the kind of tool that helps. I’d use it for onboarding graphics and simple explainer-style images.
5. MooseMail– Make sure LinkedIn leads are good by using built-in email checks to lower the number of bounced emails and stop blocked websites
6. Lead gen is brutal when your emails bounce. What I like about tools like this is the boring-but-important validation step. If you’re running outreach, even a small drop in bounces can improve deliverability over time.
7. Tip: Don’t blast. Try a short sequence (2–3 messages). Then refine your targeting based on replies, not just opens.
9. ANDRE– Transform survey information into useful ideas using automatic analysis and clear visuals for engaging reports
10. Survey data can be a slog. If you’ve ever stared at spreadsheets thinking, “So… what do we do with this?” you’ll appreciate anything that turns responses into visuals and actionable themes.
12. UpscaleMy.Video– Change fuzzy videos to clear ones with smart AI tools suitable for all kinds of videos
13. This is one of those tools I’d actually use for personal projects—old footage, low-res clips, or recordings that look like they were captured through a foggy window (we’ve all been there). Just remember: upscaling won’t magically invent missing detail, but it can absolutely improve perceived sharpness.
15. Lean– Create database layouts using AI-made plans that fit your needs, improving speed and simplicity
16. If you’ve ever designed a database schema at 1 a.m., you know how easy it is to overcomplicate things. A tool that helps you map out tables and relationships faster can be a lifesaver—especially for MVPs and prototypes.
17. Limitation: You still need to sanity-check constraints, indexes, and what queries you’ll run most often.
19. Not Legal Advice– Get help with legal problems using AI support for landlord arguments, real estate concerns, and additional topics
20. I’m glad this is framed appropriately. Still, I’d treat it as a starting point for questions and structure—not a replacement for a real attorney. If you’re dealing with something serious, use it to organize your thoughts and gather information.
22. LinkedBase– Boost LinkedIn lead generation using AI by connecting with potential clients through tailored messages and suggestions
23. LinkedIn outreach is tricky because it’s easy to sound robotic. Tools that generate tailored messages can help, but you’ll want to add your own voice. Otherwise it’s all “template energy.”
25. Magic Shorts– Create engaging videos using AI and schedule posts to keep a steady online presence
26. Consistency is everything with short-form video. If Magic Shorts helps you batch-create and schedule, that’s a real advantage. The key is making sure your content still matches your niche and doesn’t just chase trends blindly.
28. AIVidly– Make quick videos using AI to write the script and tell the story in a voice that sounds real
29. I like AI voice when it’s used sparingly and the pacing feels natural. If it’s too fast or the tone is off, people bounce. So, test a couple styles and keep the one that feels most “you.”
31. Wallpaper Generate– Create great phone wallpapers using AI by selecting styles such as nature, abstract, and simple designs
32. Honestly? This one is just fun. But it’s also surprisingly useful if you like matching your wallpaper to your mood or your setup. I’d use it to create a small set of favorites and rotate them weekly.

📝 PROMPT OF THE DAY

Here’s today’s prompt. It’s designed to give you something you can actually act on (not just a wall of text):

"Generate a strategy for [specific niche] that includes creative content ideas, engagement tactics that match real audience behavior, and clear metrics for measuring success. Focus on [platform or medium, e.g., Instagram, TikTok, SEO, etc.], and tailor the plan to [target audience or demographic]. Provide a 30-day action schedule with weekly goals, example post topics, and suggested formats (e.g., carousel, short video, newsletter, landing page). Include a simple testing plan: what you’ll test first, what numbers you’ll track (use specific metrics like CTR, watch time, conversion rate, sign-ups), and how you’ll adjust if performance is below target. End with a short checklist I can follow before publishing."

Want to make it even better? Replace [specific niche] with something narrow—like “meal prep for busy nurses” instead of “food.” Then pick one platform you can realistically post on. Otherwise, you’ll build a plan you can’t maintain. And nobody needs that, right?
