Hey! Welcome back to our weekly AI newsletter. Every week I try to pull together the stuff that actually matters—new tools people are using, real updates from the ecosystem, and a prompt you can steal for your next project. No fluff.
Here are the latest headlines I’d keep an eye on:
- Hooglee
- Eric Schmidt—yeah, that Eric Schmidt—has reportedly been working on a new AI video platform called Hooglee. The part that caught my attention isn’t just “AI video exists,” but the angle: a more creative, platform-style approach that could make video production feel less like a technical project and more like a workflow.
- What I’m curious about (and what I’ll watch for) is how it handles the boring parts: editing, story continuity, and consistency across shots. Tools like this win or lose based on whether they save time without turning everything into the same “AI look.” If Hooglee leans into that, it could be genuinely useful for creators and teams.
- Economic Blueprint
- OpenAI shared its Economic Blueprint, focusing on how the U.S. can stay ahead in AI. I like these kinds of documents because they’re not just “here’s a model,” they’re about incentives, policy direction, and what it takes to keep innovation moving.
- If you’re building with AI (or investing in AI products), this is the kind of thinking that eventually shows up as funding, regulation, and adoption timelines. It’s not always exciting day-to-day—but it shapes what’s possible.
- Microsoft AI Coding Assistant
- Microsoft’s AI coding assistant is available now without the waitlist. That’s a big deal for devs who don’t want to play “maybe next month.”
- In my experience, the fastest way to judge these tools is simple: try a messy task you’d usually avoid—like refactoring a messy function, writing tests, or turning a vague requirement into working code. If the assistant can get you 60–80% there quickly (and doesn’t hallucinate too aggressively), it earns its place.
If you’re looking for tools you can actually test this week, here are a few worth checking out:
- BotDojo – Create, try out, and launch advanced AI tools for businesses using an easy platform and over 200 ready-made designs
- Kreado AI – Create great videos and digital images of yourself using only a smartphone and a quick selfie clip
- Informly Idea Validator – Count business ideas using AI and create practical plans while getting tailored guidance
- Fixkey – Count the words in your text as 17 words. Here is your rewritten text with the same number of words
- This one’s interesting if you’re doing tight writing—ads, headlines, product blurbs, or anything where character/word count matters. I’d still double-check the meaning after rewriting, because “staying the same word count” can sometimes nudge clarity in weird directions.
- Speed up writing using an AI helper that provides live speech-to-text and smooth text changes
- Dibba – Stay updated on your money matters using AI that monitors spending via bank texts for safe, no-account-required information
- AskVids.com – Get fast insights from YouTube videos with AI-made summaries offered in different types
- Codebuff – Work quicker with an AI coding friend that finds, changes, and writes code on its own
- AI Web Scraper – Count information from any site using this Chrome tool that simplifies collecting online data.
- PortraitMaker – Make quality profile pictures with different backgrounds and looks without having to do a photoshoot
- AI Dubbing – Convert and voice over videos in more than 28 languages while keeping your speaking style for an international audience
- Ideafloww – Create interesting LinkedIn posts fast while keeping them good and cutting down the time needed to make them
Today’s prompt (use it for a blog, a LinkedIn campaign, or even a client proposal):
Create a strategy for [insert niche] that includes: target audience analysis, key competitors, content ideas, recommended platforms, optimal posting schedule, engagement tactics, and metrics for measuring success.
Then, add actionable steps for each section (what you’ll do first, what you’ll test in week one, and what you’ll measure after two weeks). Include at least 3 concrete examples—like 3 post ideas with hooks, 1 competitor breakdown you’d copy, and 1 realistic KPI target (ex: CTR, saves, sign-ups, or watch time).
Finally, list the top 5 risks or failure points and how you’d handle them if performance is lower than expected.
Quick tip: when you run this prompt, don’t just ask for a plan. Ask for a plan you can execute in 7 days. That’s where most strategies fall apart—right after the “great ideas” phase.
