33:27The Next New Thing · Interview
8 Playbooks You Can Try
A host and a product-marketing veteran watch founder clips and debate which of eight AI-era business models actually work — and why.
June 17thThe argument in one line.
AI has made it cheap to clone subscription software and cheap to edit video, so the winners are the people who find what's already working and ship their own version with a better price or a new angle.
Read if. Skip if.
READ IF YOU ARE…
- A solo builder or indie founder looking for a business idea who wants to see how people are monetizing vibe-coded apps right now.
- A podcaster or YouTuber who skips editing because it is a pain and wants to know whether AI editing agents are good enough yet.
- Someone who runs Claude Code, Cursor or a similar agent and wants a quick list of free skills, MCPs and tools worth installing this week.
SKIP IF…
- You want a deep tutorial on any single tool. Each item gets one to three minutes, so this is a survey, not a walkthrough.
- You are after neutral reporting. The hosts are openly enthusiastic about nearly everything they cover, and one of them is sponsored by Zapier.
The full version, fast.
This weekly AI news show opens with Riverside's new editing agents, which clip, edit and promote recordings, and argues that getting a solid edit with zero editing skill is months away at most. It then covers free open-source design and promo-video skills, and the week's big theme: people point an AI at a subscription tool, rebuild it, and sell it for a one-time fee, as with a $29 lifetime clone of a $40-a-month analytics tool. The hosts suggest open-sourcing and charging for hosting as a defense, and say the repeatable play is to find what is trending and add your own spin. The show closes with a pizzeria ordering app, a lifelike voice model, and personal AI workflows.

13 · What we built this week
Remotion-style video recaps of long documents, an agent goal dashboard, and AI-edited action camera footage.
Lines worth screenshotting.
- Video editing has been the biggest bottleneck to publishing video, and AI editing agents are now good enough that a person with no editing skill can get a solid edit.
- AI editing is still weakest at creativity, so editors and designers should treat it as a way to ask for results instead of clicking for them.
- A subscriber to a $40-a-month analytics tool rebuilt it and sold it for $29 lifetime, and the announcement pulled almost 600K views.
- Even an 80%-as-good clone wins customers if it replaces a monthly fee with a one-time payment.
- Open-sourcing your product can protect revenue: one founder open-sourced his software and still reports around $330K MRR, because many customers would rather pay for hosting.
- A free design skill you hand to Claude or Cursor can produce landing pages that avoid the usual one-prompt AI slop look.
- Giving away a useful agent template builds reciprocity without an email opt-in, and can drive real engagement.
- The launch recipe both hosts endorse: find what is already winning in the market, then add your own spin and a paid upgrade.
- Connecting a music generator to an agent via MCP lets sales teams generate a personalized song about a prospect as part of a workflow.
- A pizzeria app that routes regulars around DoorDash's roughly 30% cut is a niche vertical SaaS idea, though the hosts think a $400 setup fee is too steep.
- The hosts' bigger idea: let restaurants connect to customers' agents so people can order through ChatGPT, and make money on payment processing instead of subscriptions.
- Asking an AI to turn a 15-page plan into a short explainer video took 7 to 8 minutes and was easier for a team to absorb than reading the document.
Clone, price once, and ship your own spin
WHAT TO LEARN
AI has lowered the cost of building and editing so far that the edge now comes from picking a proven idea, pricing it differently, and giving something useful away.
02Riverside editing agents
- AI video editing agents can already produce a solid edit with no editing skill, but creativity is still the human part, so editors should learn to direct the tool.
03Open-source design skill
- Open-source design and promo-video skills let any agent produce polished pages and videos from a short prompt, at no cost.
04Cloning SaaS for a one-time fee
- People resent monthly fees, so a clone that is 80% as good and sells for a one-time price can pull customers from the original.
- Open-sourcing your own product and charging for hosting can protect revenue, because many customers prefer to pay instead of self-hosting.
08Agent templates as free value
- Giving away useful agent templates builds reciprocity and engagement without an email opt-in.
09Copy what is trending
- Find what is already winning in the market, add your own spin, and offer a free tier with a paid upgrade.
12A pizzeria app against DoorDash
- Vertical apps like a restaurant ordering tool live or die on pricing, and payment processing can be a better revenue model than a high setup fee.
- Let agents be the customer interface: connecting a store to ChatGPT-style agents may beat asking people to install another app.
Terms worth knowing.
- Vibe coding
- Building working software mostly by describing what you want to an AI coding agent instead of writing the code by hand.
- MCP
- Model Context Protocol, a standard way to plug outside tools and services into an AI agent so it can use them directly.
- Skill
- A packaged set of instructions you hand to an AI agent so it can do a specific job, such as design landing pages or generate promo videos.
- MRR
- Monthly recurring revenue, the predictable subscription income a software business earns each month.
- Open sourcing
- Publishing a product's code publicly so anyone can use and improve it, often while the original maker charges for hosting or support.

“Why pay monthly for something when you could just pay for it one time?”
14:02
“Go where something's proven and then put your spin on it, whether it's a product or content or whatever.”
Word for word.
Read-along
Don't just watch it. Burn it in.
See every word as it's spoken — crank it to 2× and still catch all of it. The same dual-channel trick behind Amazon's Kindle + Audible.
Whoa, you can now use AI to edit videos exactly like this one. Also, people are making money by having AI copy expensive software and they're selling it for cheaper. And someone open sourced the prompt that makes beautiful promotion videos like this one.
All that and the latest AI launches with links to everything below. Here we go. Presented by Zapier, the AI automation company.
The first thing, and I'm super excited about this, is... Agents from Riverside. Now you and I use Riverside to record our interviews and the reason we do it is because sometimes my connection is so bad that it gives me a crisp connection by recording.
crisp video by recording on my computer it records on your your video on your computer anyway it makes it very easy to record things like this but very few people have been able to record shows like you and i have because the editing is a pain in the butt well what they did at riverside is they now created a set of agents that will do the editing for you that will clip for you that will promote for you that will produce for you now this is something that we here have done for i'd say about three four months And I've used third -party tools to do it.
Now it's built in. I freaking love it. What do you think?
I'm super excited about this because video editing has historically been the biggest bottleneck for people to put out video content. I don't even edit my videos because of how much of a pain editing can be. And I think there's been a lot of hype on the timeline on X and other places, especially over the last 60 to 90 days.
because ai has made huge strides in being able to edit videos specifically with like opus 5 .5 so it's perfect timing from riverside to unleash these capabilities now that the models have gotten a lot better at these types of tasks so i think here within the next three to six months video editing is going to be you know i don't want to say solved but getting a solid edit done for somebody that has zero editing expertise is gonna be well within reach, like very soon, if not already.
I think it's already, in some ways, it's better than a human editor. Like I could have myself on the video at times, you on the video at times, the screen on the video, all of us and so on, done really easily with this, and we've done it. versus a human being who's gonna have to take hours to turn it around.
Where it's still not as good is in that creativity. And so what I've told my designers and my video editors is you have to learn how to use this tool and get comfortable with it. Don't think of it as replacing you.
Think of it as taking your creativity and now you just get to ask for stuff instead of clicking and getting the stuff you want. It's beautiful. We'll link to that as well as everything else.
Let's go to the next one. You found this one. What is this?
So this one was super impressive to me. So this person... uh open sourced ace it's basically a design skill that you can hand to claude cursor grok whoever you want to hand it to and it builds these just gorgeous gorgeous landing page designs so obviously if you're watching here on youtube with us you can see the visuals that this skill has created i mean We've all seen the AI slop that you can generate with one prompt and just slap on a web page that looks terrible.
This actually looks like really, really good. And they've open sourced the skill. So I thought this was awesome.
And I really wanted to include this to showcase this person and the skill that anybody can go and download. So good. All right.
And it is free on GitHub. Again, we'll link. Okay.
This story, I think I need to tell. So Mark Lau, Mark Liu has got this tool called Data Fast. Here it is.
he is charging nine dollars a month or nineteen dollars a month for a tool that basically lets you see where your revenue is coming from and he publishes on his own site trustmrr what his revenue is all -time revenue over three hundred thousand dollars uh monthly revenue about thirty thousand dollars so someone saw this and said why don't i just point my AI at it and create a version of this myself.
And so here he is, Ahmed Gagan launched it. He goes, I was paying, he was a customer, about 40 bucks a month for data fast just to see which post made me money. That's 468 a year forever.
And it goes up as your traffic grows. So I built my own, same idea, revenue by traffic source, $29 lifetime, unlimited sites, unlimited events, lifetime updates. Here is his pricing.
This is a trend that has gone on this whole week and month on X. What do you think of this as a trend and what do you think of this as a business idea? So I think we're gonna see a lot more of this and his tweet like performed really well.
I think it's almost 500K views of his, yeah, almost 600K views of that announcement. And who knows if he put some ad dollars behind that or got some creators to push it. But bottom line, I think people are sick and tired of paying subscriptions for tools that can be, I don't want to say easily vibe coded because obviously market, that's a legit tool that he's built and he maintains it.
But it's like, why pay monthly for something when you could just pay for it one time? And so I think we're going to see a big trend of people going around and looking at these tools that people are sick of paying for every month and just making a version, even if it's not quite as good, even if it's like 80 % as good, but charging just a one -time fee for it.
You're going to get a ton of people to switch over because of that, even if you're 80 % as good. So I don't think this is the last... tool that we're going to see this happen to.
In fact, Mark has done this this month. He said, I'm tired of paying for... Yeah, I was like, he literally just did it to Beehive.
Yeah, exactly. He said, I'm tired of paying for Beehive. I'm creating my own knockoff of it that's simpler and costs less money.
And boom, that got a lot of attention. Now somebody is doing it to him. This is a really scary thing.
The one thing that I've noticed that does help with this is when people make an open source version of their software, They could just say, look, just go and get it for free. In fact, the same thing had happened to the creator of Post -its where people said, I'm making my own free version of Post -its.
And the founder of Post -its, Nebo David, went on and said, I created my own free version of it. Just go to GitHub and get it. Yeah, he open sourced it.
Yeah. And the beauty of open sourcing then is. You end up with a team of people who are all improving your software.
So maybe the one solution to this is to open source. Since everything is essentially open source anyway, the world will contribute to your software and improve it. And you get paid for hosting.
And many people will pay you for hosting because they don't want to host it themselves. All right. One of the posts is he open sourced it and he's still at 330K MRR.
Yeah. Just because it's open source doesn't mean you lose all your customers overnight. If anything, you got people like me who are lazy.
And I'm like, I'd rather just... I'd rather just pay him to host it and handle all the updates for me and whatnot. Yeah.
All right. Next tweet. I open sourced the Cardpoint transaction effects from video packaging and the entire productions into a skill.
I put it on GitHub. What is this? What did you make here?
so again this is another just like beautiful example of a design skill that's open source anybody can go and download and use so with a one sentence prompt he one -shotted this promo video right here this is like a mock promo video for the new macbook pro and you can hand the skill to any agent and it can provide basically it says let your agent install the skill provide a product project image and product info and it can one click generate an advanced cool promotional video so i mean this is good you're you're able to generate like a studio quality promo video from a one sentence prompt with this free open source skill and like this video looks really freaking good so another example of just like a beautiful design skill that's open source and we'll link to it below so you can try it Another one that you had found.
This one did not have nearly as many views. I don't know how. And I love how you find these little hidden gems.
Only 111 views. What is Lasso? So Lasso is, I believe it's a Mac app, right?
So it's a Mac app that you can open it and you can just draw on your screen. So I know for myself, when I want to give Claude or ChatGBT context, I'm in this loop where I'm, you know, I'm screenshotting an image. i'm opening up the image in preview and then i'm you know choosing the highlighter tool and then i'm having to go and circle the piece of the screenshot that i want claude to see i copy that image i paste it into cloud chat and i say hey this is the image i'm talking about lasso basically completely eliminates all of that friction and says hey you can just let claude basically view your screen and you can just write you can just draw directly on your screen with lasso so instead of having to take a screenshot I can just draw a circle on my screen of what I'm talking about.
And Claude sees it right away, you know, or cursor or chat GPT, whatever you're using. So it's, it just reduces all that friction for showing it what's on your screen. Super useful.
I think he's burying the lead. Like I had to scroll here to see that this, he keeps saying, talking about people show people what you mean. And then it's down here that he really highlights the agents part.
I don't think he says it clearly enough at the top. That is a huge win. Okay.
Next. And it's free. Yeah.
And it's free. next suno we know suno as the company that lets you make songs that you customize with whatever sound you want with whatever um vibe you want and whatever lyrics you want i've used this so many times this is not my account my account's on another computer um what i like about what they launched this week is they created an mcp let me Jump into the MCP.
This now allows you to easily connect Claude. You connect Gemini, which I don't think anyone's going to do. Cursor, which means basically Grokbot.
But whatever your agent is, you now connect it in and you can agentically create songs. And here is how I've been hearing people are doing this. What people have been doing manually that now they could do with this.
When salespeople are trying to sell a product and they want to get the customer's attention, what they do is create a song about them with information they found online or with information that they know about them, and they go in and they manually do this. Now they could connect it to their workflow using the MCP and have a song generated for a customer and send it out to them.
And the song can be about the customer. It could be about something that's in the news that happened. So you send them a song that they then share around the office or anything else.
And the fact that you could do it agentically is fan -freaking -tastic. I love this use case. Funny enough, now that we're talking about it, as soon as we get off this recording, I'm going into my community and saying like, hey guys, look at this new use case for Suno.
Use this when you're going out and prospecting or use this when you're following up with a prospect. I think it's such a unique way to use this type of tool in a sales context, which I love ways to improve sales. And I just never would have thought of this.
So it's amazing to me how creative people get with this stuff. And I'm sure we could come up with a million other use cases. I love Suno.
I think it's so cool. It makes such quality music. Dude, it's so good.
It's so good. Oh, yeah. You tweeted out how you got rid of your Spotify account and replaced it with Suno.
Yeah, and people were really mad at me for that. But I am a Suno fan for sure. So I approve of this message.
One real quick use case for me, I was heading over to a friend's house for dinner. I'd never met his kids. I couldn't remember them.
And I wanted my kids to remember his kids' names and what they were about and so on, and a little bit about him and his wife. So I took the information that I had. In fact, I texted him and said that I was going to do this in the car with the kids.
He sent information about each one of his kids. We had a song made up while we were in the car heading over. We heard the song.
You make it kind of catchy into one of these earworms with some goofy references to how one kid's a punk who always likes to cause trouble, whatever it is. And now you know it.
All right, I'm going to move on to the next one. Really good. This is Alex.
He published something that I've seen multiple people create versions of essentially said, I'm sick of getting phone calls. I'm sick of having my information online. I know I can get rid of some of these things myself, but it's too much of a hassle.
So I'm going to create two grok bots to do it for myself. And then he shared them on Twitter and people loved it. They shared it, they added it, they installed it.
I like this use case because it is a pain in the butt to do this. I like that use case as well. And I think it just points to a bigger trend of people are just starting to build Grok bot templates as not even as lead magnets, because he's not putting it behind an email opt in or anything, but just like as a way to create value for people.
I mean, think about a lot of problems that existed in the past. You can just build a Grok bot template that solves that problem and just give it away to your audience. And now that, you know, it's a great way to build reciprocity.
I did that last week and it got, you know, a bunch of views and a bunch of engagement. I built. a personal trainer bot for myself.
And it's genuinely useful. And I'm literally following the workout routine this week that it built for me. And I turned it into a template and I gave it away on Twitter and people loved it.
So I just, I like the trend that we're seeing of people just building these really useful skills and templates and stuff like that and just giving it away to people. Really good. Next, this took off this week.
Gjo created something called God's View AI. It is now doing... almost 5 000 a month in revenue i logged in if you're afraid of the first thing you see is a login screen which is kind of annoying and it's kept people from going and experimenting with it but you can just put in fake information i probably shouldn't say that but you can and then what you start to see is like flight information like this you can start to see um what else i forget what what he makes available in the free view the reason i brought this up here here look this is the fake name that i put in here um the reason i brought this up is it's very similar to this God's Eye View, which has gone really viral or spread a lot on GitHub and is completely free, where you can actually see all this stuff, including webcams from around the world for free, versus God's View AI, you have to pay to get the webcams, which...
No shade, if that's the model, I think it makes sense. But I love the idea of taking a tool that's doing well on GitHub and creating your own version of it. Here, look, number one trending GitHub.
So it's done really well. And creating your own version of it. I don't think he copied what was on GitHub, but I think there's a model here, don't you, of finding what's trending and creating your own version of it and making it available online for free with some paid upgrade.
100%, yeah. I mean, it's... Really, how you should launch any product is like, look, what's already winning in the marketplace?
How can I put my own spin on it? And how can I do that in a way that delivers value that people are going to want to pay for? It's the same thing when it comes to content.
I mean, how often, Andrew, do we see like I mean, think about your weekly GitHub show. It crushes for you. And I said that to you multiple times.
I'm like, every time you put out a GitHub video, it crushes. And so I'm like, how can I take that concept that's working for Andrew, put my spin on it? and have it be successful as well.
And so that's what I've started to do. So same concept. I think it's smart.
Go where something's proven and then put your spin on it, whether it's a product or content or whatever. By the way, I haven't said that Zapier is our sponsor here. And if you have any agent and you have not connected it to Zapier MCP, you're missing out.
What this does is allows you to give it more tools than any one of these platforms gives it on its own. And a lot more customization than you can get from the platform yourself. Go to zapier .com slash MCP.
They even have a look at this. People keep asking, where's the free? They have a plan that is free forever, and we'll have a link so you can go and try it.
Okay, Jack Dorsey, the creator of Twitter, just announced something called Dessa. What is Dessa? So Dessa is their new voice model from his company Brick.
Sorry, Block. I always get that confused. I don't know why I always say Brick.
So if we can preview it here, when I first heard it, I'm like, oh my God, this is unbelievable. You genuinely... Genuinely cannot tell if this is AI.
Is that kind of a sore spot this year? Yeah, it's going to be cold. I'm not a fan of this.
So the guy is the human, the woman is AI. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I can see that.
Well, anyway, I've had such an exciting day at work today. Oh, tell us. Yeah, the team, we've decided to release the speech -to -speech AI model we've built for the past year.
Whoa. Can you hear that? Completely?
Yeah, oh yeah. It's so good. And I listen to that whole thing and I'm like, oh my God, this is unbelievable.
So I thought this was like, this is one of the, I feel like every two months we get a new AI release that blows my mind. And that is the one for me this month. It is incredible.
I thought you can also run this on your own machine. You can. Yeah, you can.
But I think right now, I think it's in some sort of government security review. So I don't think you... I don't think anybody can access it yet.
They just came out and announced it. Jack has tweeted that you'll be able to download it and run it on not even a state -of -the -art MacBook. It should be able to run locally on most machines.
This is big, but also really small. Small enough to run on your MacBook. I'm incredibly, extremely proud of the Dessa team for pushing the frontier.
It's really good. Okay. Mark, again, coming up from TrustMRR.
He has just announced that there have now been 200 acquisitions made on TrustMRR, and it's been less than a year since he launched it. This is what it looks like. What do you think is this?
First of all, describe this for people who don't know what it is, and what do you think of this as a business model? Yeah, so TrustMRR is his website that he launched, again, when did he say, a year or two ago? Less than a year.
Yeah. Okay. Less than a year.
So if you've got a startup that you built, you can essentially list it on trust MRR and trust MRR will display your true legitimate monthly recurring revenue number. I think it does that by getting some sort of like read only access to your stripe. Yep.
But the idea is, you know, people want their business on trust MRR, I assume for like credibility purposes and to show investors and just, just to prove like, Hey, look, my business is legit. This is how much MRR we're doing. and so how mark is monetizing the site is he's selling ads which you can see on the left and right hand side of the screen but it's also kind of serving as a marketplace for people that want to go and buy one of these software businesses or one of these businesses that are listed on the site you can you can literally buy it through trustmrr and i'm sure he's taken some sort of um i'm sure he's taken some sort of cut on the transaction right is that right andrew I'm pretty sure that's the way that he works with it, but I'm not positive actually now that you mentioned it.
But this is the model to get startups sold, and 200 of them have been sold. It's essentially a vibe -coded tool that's super simple, but it does have this, not just virality because people keep sharing these things. We've shown it multiple times here, but there's also this...
What is it? Network effect, where the more people are on here, the more credibility it has, and then the more people need to be on here. Yep.
Really well done. Very impressive from him. Next is this tool.
I saw a Reddit post about it. I use Cloud Code to build a pizzeria its own ordering app so regulars stop having to pay DoorDash 30%. He has only one customer as far as I could tell right now.
This is what the tool looks like. The funny thing is, yes, he vibe coded this and he talked about how he used cloud code to build this, so it's fairly straightforward. The funny thing is, he doesn't have his own network of delivery drivers.
He's still using DoorDash. Oh, here we go. Your DoorDash plan.
Yes. So the stores get to use their own DoorDash plans and all they're doing is saying to regulars, hey, use our app, Anthony's Pizzeria app, instead of the DoorDash app and we'll give you a better price. And that's his model.
It's a pretty interesting system here. Oh, and so this is how he's making his money. So he's charging the actual pizzeria $99 a month basically for the app.
Or a one -time setup fee. Oh, okay. So he's charging both.
And you can have him build your website for you or just an app and a website. Or just a website. Dude, that's smart.
I like that. I like that. Because, I mean, again, think about it from the pizzeria's perspective.
I believe, well, I wonder, I assume that the pizzeria is still having to pay the DoorDash fees, right? Which I, from what I understand, are pretty steep for the restaurant. But they're lower if you're bringing your own customers as opposed to having them come in through the app.
Ah, I see. That's the model. And I assume the other value prop too is for the customer.
It's like, hey, you know, if you normally order here once a week. But, you know, you would order here maybe two or three times a week if you didn't have to pay an extra 30 % through DoorDash. The idea is you're going to get more business from repeat customers.
So it makes sense. It's a win -win. I think that it's...
Unless you've got a really rabid fan base of users, they're not going to want to install another app. And I think his model is a little too expensive. The $400 set of fee feels just excessive.
In addition to them having to pay for the App Store. In addition to them having to pay this for Google Play Store. And then you also have the credit card order fees.
It's just a lot. And I don't think a lot of stores are going to do this. I still think he should keep up with it.
He should probably cut down his costs more. Or maybe you can find some really rabid players. And then you have to get people to install the app.
I think this is exciting is I'm no longer using Uber Eats directly to order my food. I'm using, I was using ChatGPT, then Grokbot once to order my food. Uber is making it a pain in the butt.
I don't want to get strikes on this. Making it a pain in the butt to do it. And so my agents have to keep finding work arounds.
If what he does is say, look, I'm not even gonna care about the app. I'm going to make the app free and where I'm gonna make it really exciting is the stores can just connect to their agents and you can say to your agent, go and buy from my store. That is amazing.
That is the win. To not say I've built an app, but I built a way for your people to buy from ChatGPT or from whatever agent becomes popular. That I think is an X -level win here.
Where I think the value, if he was smart, he would make it free for the restaurant and he would make money on the payment processing. Like that is the move. 100 % that is the move.
Like make it, get to a thousand restaurants using your app in the next year. and you are going to make a fortune on the payment processing. Set up a deal through WAP.
WAP is being super aggressive with how they're pursuing people to be on their payments network right now. Set up a deal with them, run the payment processing through them, make a fortune, make an absolute fortune. Okay, let's close it out with just one or two fun things that we have done this week with AI, with the tools that we have mentioned in the past or with new ones.
What is it for you? So for me, I would say the idea of re -motion recaps. I tweeted about this the other day where I had Claude put together a super detailed build plan for something that we're working on internally.
And it ended up being like a 15 -page document. And I'm like, I really don't feel like reading through this whole thing. So just out of frustration, I just asked Claude, I'm like, hey, can you just make like a video, like a 90 -second or two -minute video just explaining all the changes you made here so I could just watch it?
And also make it a shareable artifact so I could share it with my team in case I need to let them know what you did. And it took about seven or eight minutes, but it created this short little re -motion style video just recapping all the changes that it made. I'm like, this is great.
This is way better than having to read a 15 -page document. And I sent it to my team and they loved it. So I tweeted about it too.
I'm like, this is a hack if you need Claude or ChatGPT to explain something to you that you don't feel like reading a big wall of text. So what about you? Okay, I got two.
Number one is also like you, visual. So I have on Grokbot this one agent that I call Goalkeeper, and it helps me set a goal for each one of the important agents, like the one that does my PR and helps me get views on Twitter and helps me find things to share with potential customers. It has a goal of getting me 30 ,000 views on X.
That's been interesting, but I needed the Goalkeeper to make it more... easy for me to grasp quickly what's going on. And so I had to create these cards.
I don't know if you could see it. You probably can't see it very well. Just beautiful card that shows me where we are with a suggestion for how each one of these agents could improve and what we could do next.
So that's one visual thing. The other is on our family trips, I take these little action cameras and this is on my runs on travel that we do. I take these little action cameras.
I love shooting videos of the moments that matter. I have this little thing, this is an Insta360 that you can take this out of and just pop everywhere. I even took it to the gym to record what I'm doing today so I could see myself a year from now.
The problem is I never edit it. What I've now done is I connect it to my computer and since you can get, this is just a direct connection, since you can get ChatGPT to edit beautifully, I say ChatGPT. Edit this.
And I tell it, here's what I want you to capture. I want you to capture how I bought my son his first phone. We had trouble because it was delivered to the wrong place.
We ran around town looking for the right place. And then he got it and he said, thank you, mom and dad. He goes, yeah, I got it.
Frickin' A, it did it. And I said, put some sentimental music under it. It did it.
Then I said, for the second one, I'm going to the gym for the first time. I recorded myself. I want to see where I am in a year from now.
It edited it. And I said, what should I do next time? It said, I need you to zoom out a little bit so I can really see the weights.
And then you can come back a year from now and see what your weights are. it has been amazing those two tools have been fantastic for me i love it those are great use cases and i'm sure we'll have many more next week yep all right and now that we're done we've got more videos for you to see or another video right here where you can see more ai releases that are hot see you in that one
The Hook
The bait, then the rug-pull.
A 25-second cold open stacks three promises: AI that edits videos like this one, people selling AI-built copies of expensive software for less, and an open-sourced prompt for beautiful promo videos.
