WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.279 Let's just sit with the reality of where we are 00:00:02.279 --> 00:00:05.200 for a moment. If you look at the tech landscape 00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:08.519 right now, I mean, really look at it. It feels 00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:10.699 a bit like we're hacking our way through a dense 00:00:10.699 --> 00:00:13.259 jungle. That is the perfect image for it. The 00:00:13.259 --> 00:00:17.600 AI jungle. It's wild out there. It really is. 00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:19.480 I mean, let's be honest with each other here. 00:00:19.820 --> 00:00:22.510 Every single week, Sometimes it feels like every 00:00:22.510 --> 00:00:24.710 single day there's a massive announcement. Oh, 00:00:24.710 --> 00:00:26.690 yeah. OpenAI says they have the smartest model 00:00:26.690 --> 00:00:29.489 in history. Then Google drops Gemini and claims 00:00:29.489 --> 00:00:31.949 the throne. Then Anthropic releases something 00:00:31.949 --> 00:00:34.049 else. Everyone is shouting that they're number 00:00:34.049 --> 00:00:36.229 one. And the noise floor is just incredibly high. 00:00:36.390 --> 00:00:38.229 It's deafening. Exactly. And if you're sitting 00:00:38.229 --> 00:00:40.329 there listening to this and you feel a little 00:00:40.329 --> 00:00:43.950 overwhelmed or maybe just exhausted by the constant 00:00:43.950 --> 00:00:46.909 updates, you aren't alone. I feel it too. It's 00:00:46.909 --> 00:00:49.270 a lot to process. We all do. And here's the problem 00:00:49.270 --> 00:00:52.609 with that noise. It forces us into this mindset 00:00:52.609 --> 00:00:55.609 where we think we need to find the one God mode 00:00:55.609 --> 00:00:58.030 tool. We're looking for the Swiss Army knife 00:00:58.030 --> 00:01:00.250 that writes perfect code, paints perfect pictures, 00:01:00.750 --> 00:01:02.649 and, you know, answers our emails. The one tool 00:01:02.649 --> 00:01:05.650 to rule them all. Right. But based on the research 00:01:05.650 --> 00:01:07.829 we've pulled together for this deep dive, that 00:01:07.829 --> 00:01:10.489 is actually a trap. It's the wrong way to navigate 00:01:10.489 --> 00:01:12.269 the jungle. So today we're going to flip the 00:01:12.269 --> 00:01:14.579 script. We aren't looking for the best AI in 00:01:14.579 --> 00:01:16.359 the world. We're looking for the specialists. 00:01:16.980 --> 00:01:19.260 Exactly. We're taking a classroom approach. No 00:01:19.260 --> 00:01:22.519 marketing jargon. No hype about AGI coming tomorrow. 00:01:22.900 --> 00:01:24.920 We have a stack of research here that breaks 00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:27.319 down your actual workflow retrieval, action, 00:01:27.700 --> 00:01:30.599 writing, images, and video, and identifies the 00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.040 specific tool that does that one specific job 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:34.900 better than the rest. I love that distinction. 00:01:35.420 --> 00:01:38.379 It's about utility, not hype. So let's start 00:01:38.379 --> 00:01:40.810 with the most universal headache. The thing that 00:01:40.810 --> 00:01:43.709 kills more productivity than anything else, searching. 00:01:43.890 --> 00:01:47.430 The librarian problem. Yes. The research highlights 00:01:47.430 --> 00:01:49.689 a scenario that honestly gave me anxiety just 00:01:49.689 --> 00:01:52.590 reading it. You finish a massive project. Three 00:01:52.590 --> 00:01:54.989 weeks later, your boss asks for a summary of 00:01:54.989 --> 00:01:57.670 the budget decisions. You know the info exists, 00:01:58.090 --> 00:02:00.790 but where is it? It's the worst. Is it in an 00:02:00.790 --> 00:02:03.930 email thread? A Slack message? A Google Doc? 00:02:04.230 --> 00:02:07.209 A comment on a slide deck? And you spend 40 minutes 00:02:07.209 --> 00:02:10.159 just digging. You stop being an analyst. and 00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:12.259 you become a librarian. And this is where most 00:02:12.259 --> 00:02:14.419 people make their first mistake with AI. They 00:02:14.419 --> 00:02:16.819 try to use Chat GPT for this. They think, well, 00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:19.060 Chat GPT is smart. I'll just ask it. But why 00:02:19.060 --> 00:02:21.539 is that a mistake? I mean, you can upload files 00:02:21.539 --> 00:02:24.879 to Chat GPT now. You can. But the research uses 00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:28.000 a brilliant analogy here. Connecting Chat GPT 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.599 to your company's data, your Google Drive or 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.099 your Microsoft Cloud, is like inviting a polite 00:02:33.099 --> 00:02:35.500 guest over for dinner. They're smart. They're 00:02:35.500 --> 00:02:37.669 helpful. But they don't live there. They don't 00:02:37.669 --> 00:02:39.710 know where the spoons are. Exactly. They have 00:02:39.710 --> 00:02:41.870 to ask permission to open every drawer. Can I 00:02:41.870 --> 00:02:44.590 look in this folder? Can I read this file? It's 00:02:44.590 --> 00:02:47.409 slow, the connection frequently breaks, and often 00:02:47.409 --> 00:02:49.789 the context window, the amount of info it can 00:02:49.789 --> 00:02:51.930 hold, is limited. It's an outsider looking in. 00:02:52.110 --> 00:02:54.469 Whereas the tool the research points to, Google 00:02:54.469 --> 00:02:58.219 Gemini, specifically inside Workspace, is a resident. 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:00.319 It lives in the house. It sleeps on the couch. 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:02.419 Because it's native to Google, it doesn't need 00:03:02.419 --> 00:03:04.280 to connect to your drive. It's already there. 00:03:04.539 --> 00:03:07.800 It can see your Gmail, your Docs, your slides, 00:03:07.860 --> 00:03:10.240 and your calendar simultaneously. So let's walk 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.659 through the project recap workflow mentioned 00:03:12.659 --> 00:03:15.719 in the notes. Because I think people hear Gemini 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.280 and they just think of a chat bot sidebar. How 00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.639 does this actually look in practice? It's about 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:24.039 the multi -source prompt. This is key. Most people 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:27.240 prompt linearly. Read this doc. Summarize it. 00:03:27.580 --> 00:03:30.280 But with Gemini and Workspace, you can triangulate. 00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:33.120 You ask. Find all emails, calendar meetings, 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:35.479 and Google Docs related to Project Alpha from 00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.860 last month and summarize the timeline delays. 00:03:38.219 --> 00:03:40.599 And because it's native, it can pull from all 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:43.599 three of those silos at once. Precisely. It retrieves 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:45.560 the argument you had about the budget in an email 00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:47.520 thread, it correlates that with the meeting that 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:49.800 got pushed back on your calendar, and it checks 00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.340 the official Project Tracker doc. So it's not 00:03:52.340 --> 00:03:54.560 just retrieving, it's connecting the dots. It 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:57.360 synthesizes that data into a single answer. It's 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.020 doing three things. Retrieval, which is finding 00:04:00.020 --> 00:04:02.659 it, synthesis, understanding how it connects, 00:04:03.020 --> 00:04:05.879 and then creation, writing the summary. So the 00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:08.199 real value proposition here isn't just that it 00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:10.460 writes for you, it's that it remembers where 00:04:10.460 --> 00:04:12.879 you put things so you don't have to. Bang on, 00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.180 it lets you be an analyst instead of a librarian. 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.339 Okay, so we found the information, we're organized, 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:20.560 now we need to actually do something with it. 00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:22.819 The source material makes a really interesting 00:04:22.819 --> 00:04:25.860 distinction here between passive chatbots, and 00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:28.439 agents. This is the next frontier of AI. We are 00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:30.660 moving away from chatbots, which are passive. 00:04:30.740 --> 00:04:33.060 They just talk to you toward agents. And agent 00:04:33.060 --> 00:04:35.779 is software that can take an action on your behalf. 00:04:35.939 --> 00:04:38.879 It can click buttons. And the standout tool listed 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.060 here for this action phase is Notion AI. Now, 00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.959 I use Notion. I use it for notes. But the research 00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:46.860 suggests it's moving into something much more 00:04:46.860 --> 00:04:49.860 complex. It is. If you think of Notion as just 00:04:49.860 --> 00:04:52.240 a note -taking app, you're missing the power 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:56.699 of it. Think of Notion's databases as smart spreadsheets. 00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.000 The research gives a great example. The hiring 00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.639 manager. Walk me through that. Okay, so imagine 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.839 you have a database of job listings. You have 00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.180 a listing for an operations manager. It's full 00:05:07.180 --> 00:05:11.139 of requirements, salary bands, tags, status updates. 00:05:11.779 --> 00:05:14.439 Now you need to hire a customer success manager. 00:05:14.699 --> 00:05:18.519 Right. Usually that's the classic CCRC, CCLV 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:21.720 workflow. I copy the row. I paste it. I go in 00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:25.220 and manually edit every single cell. It's tedious. 00:05:25.339 --> 00:05:28.019 It's manual labor. With Notion AI, because it 00:05:28.019 --> 00:05:29.920 understands the structure of the database, you 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:31.639 just prompt it. You highlight the operations 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:34.480 manager row and say, create a new job opening 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.180 for a customer success manager based on this 00:05:37.180 --> 00:05:40.180 one. Change the requirements to focus on empathy 00:05:40.180 --> 00:05:44.019 and communication. Set status to active. And 00:05:44.019 --> 00:05:45.839 it actually updates the fields. It's not just 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.439 giving me text back. That's the agent part. It 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:51.199 creates the new row, it fills the cells, it reads 00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:53.860 the description, it changes the status drop -down, 00:05:54.100 --> 00:05:56.620 it is physically manipulating the database. That's 00:05:56.620 --> 00:05:59.220 what they call level 2 in the notes. But I was 00:05:59.220 --> 00:06:01.259 even more interested in level 3, the digital 00:06:01.259 --> 00:06:04.079 janitor, because frankly... My digital life is 00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:06.480 a mess. You and me both. The digital janitor 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:08.819 function is for that one messy page we all have. 00:06:08.980 --> 00:06:10.879 You know the one. You're in a meeting. You're 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.019 typing furiously. Well, yeah. Bullet points, 00:06:13.259 --> 00:06:15.480 half sentences, random thoughts. It's a complete 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:17.920 disaster zone. It's a stream of consciousness 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.319 wreck. Usually, you'd have to spend 20 minutes 00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:22.579 cleaning that up after the meeting. With Notion 00:06:22.579 --> 00:06:26.100 AI, you just highlight that chaos and type, organize 00:06:26.100 --> 00:06:28.839 this. And it doesn't just summarize it. No, and 00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:31.399 this is the crucial distinction. It restructures 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:34.339 it. It moves the blocks around. It creates headers 00:06:34.339 --> 00:06:38.620 like action items, key decisions, next steps. 00:06:38.899 --> 00:06:41.519 It turns your random sentence about a deadline 00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.759 into a checkbox with a date. It cleans up the 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:46.500 room. It sounds like this tool is less about 00:06:46.500 --> 00:06:49.040 generating new creative ideas and more about 00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:52.040 imposing structure on chaos. Exactly. It's the 00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.100 difference between a writer and a project manager. 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.250 I like that. Okay. Let's pivot. We've found the 00:06:57.250 --> 00:06:59.430 info with Gemini. We've organized it with Notion. 00:06:59.870 --> 00:07:02.089 Now comes the part that I think most people struggle 00:07:02.089 --> 00:07:05.009 with personally, the actual writing. The blank 00:07:05.009 --> 00:07:08.430 page. The blank page. Yeah. And I want to be 00:07:08.430 --> 00:07:10.709 vulnerable for a second here. There is this thing 00:07:10.709 --> 00:07:13.689 called the internal filter. When I have to write 00:07:13.689 --> 00:07:16.029 a difficult email, maybe I have to explain a 00:07:16.029 --> 00:07:18.829 delay to a client or give some bad news, I will 00:07:18.829 --> 00:07:21.250 stare at the screen for 10 minutes. I type hi, 00:07:21.649 --> 00:07:23.910 then delete it. I type dear, then delete it. 00:07:24.189 --> 00:07:26.670 I worry about the tone. It's paralyzing. That 00:07:26.670 --> 00:07:29.949 is the internal filter at work. And the research 00:07:29.949 --> 00:07:32.810 points out something fascinating here. We speak 00:07:32.810 --> 00:07:35.889 about three times faster than we type, but we 00:07:35.889 --> 00:07:38.269 rarely use voice dictation for professional work. 00:07:38.449 --> 00:07:41.569 Why? Because it's risky. If I use standard voice 00:07:41.569 --> 00:07:44.009 typing on my phone and I stumble, it types the 00:07:44.009 --> 00:07:47.569 stumble. It types, um, hi, John. I mean, Mr. 00:07:47.649 --> 00:07:50.500 Smith. It looks unprofessional, and editing it 00:07:50.500 --> 00:07:52.319 takes longer than just typing in the first place. 00:07:52.779 --> 00:07:55.160 Exactly. Standard dictation is literal. That's 00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:57.759 the problem Whisperflow solves. It's one of the 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:00.120 most unique tools in this stack because it focuses 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.079 on intent, not just dictation. How does that 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:05.470 distinction work, technically? It uses a language 00:08:05.470 --> 00:08:07.949 model to process what you said before it pastes 00:08:07.949 --> 00:08:10.069 it so it listens to your rambling, understands 00:08:10.069 --> 00:08:12.689 what you meant to say, and rewrites it instantly 00:08:12.689 --> 00:08:15.110 into clean text. The brained up example in the 00:08:15.110 --> 00:08:16.769 notes was really compelling. Can you break that 00:08:16.769 --> 00:08:19.649 down? Sure. So take that scary email to the client 00:08:19.649 --> 00:08:21.649 you mentioned. Instead of typing and deleting, 00:08:21.990 --> 00:08:24.050 you just close your eyes, hit the button on Whisperer 00:08:24.050 --> 00:08:26.610 and talk. You say something like, Hi, Whisperer. 00:08:26.750 --> 00:08:29.269 OK, tell the client I'm really sorry. The supplier 00:08:29.269 --> 00:08:31.470 didn't send the parts on time. It's not our fault, 00:08:31.470 --> 00:08:34.399 but we're taking responsibility. We're working 00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.320 overtime to fix it. Make it sound professional, 00:08:37.500 --> 00:08:39.960 but not robotic. That's a total mess of a sentence. 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:43.259 It is, but Whispery takes that input and outputs. 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:46.340 Dear client, unfortunately we are experiencing 00:08:46.340 --> 00:08:49.080 a slight delay due to an unforeseen supplier 00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:51.820 issue. Please be assured that our team is working 00:08:51.820 --> 00:08:54.779 overtime to resolve this immediately. Wow, so 00:08:54.779 --> 00:08:57.580 it translates... stream of consciousness into 00:08:57.580 --> 00:09:00.500 professional corporate speak. Precisely. It removes 00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:02.779 the emotional friction of drafting. Now there 00:09:02.779 --> 00:09:05.460 is a caveat here for iPhone users, right? The 00:09:05.460 --> 00:09:08.100 notes mention that. Yes. Because of how Apple 00:09:08.100 --> 00:09:10.500 locks down the operating system, it's a bit clunky 00:09:10.500 --> 00:09:12.000 on iPhone right now. You have to switch apps 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:15.179 to use it. But for desktop and Android users, 00:09:15.299 --> 00:09:17.879 it's an overlay. It works inside your email, 00:09:18.179 --> 00:09:20.759 inside Slack, wherever you are. That's huge for 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:23.940 anyone with writer's block. It basically separates 00:09:23.940 --> 00:09:26.389 the thinking part of writing from the typing 00:09:26.389 --> 00:09:28.730 part. Which is often where the bottleneck is. 00:09:29.090 --> 00:09:31.370 OK, let's shift gears completely. We've talked 00:09:31.370 --> 00:09:34.009 about text, data, and organization. Let's talk 00:09:34.009 --> 00:09:36.850 about the visual side of the AI jungle. Because 00:09:36.850 --> 00:09:38.970 this is where I think people get the most confused. 00:09:39.190 --> 00:09:41.570 The creative suite. Right. You see people arguing 00:09:41.570 --> 00:09:44.269 on Twitter, mid -journey is the best. No, DLA 00:09:44.269 --> 00:09:47.029 is better. But the research suggests that's the 00:09:47.029 --> 00:09:48.830 wrong argument. There are different tools for 00:09:48.830 --> 00:09:50.830 different jobs. Totally different. The guide 00:09:50.830 --> 00:09:53.470 breaks image generation down into three specific 00:09:53.470 --> 00:09:56.379 categories. High -end art. quick editing, and 00:09:56.379 --> 00:09:58.299 storytelling. Let's start with high -end art. 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:00.460 The research points to mid -journey here. Mid 00:10:00.460 --> 00:10:03.460 -journey is the powerhouse. The guide compares 00:10:03.460 --> 00:10:06.039 it to the manual mode on a professional DSLR 00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:08.879 camera, meaning it's complicated, meaning it 00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:11.320 requires skill to get the best results. You can't 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:13.120 just talk to it like a friend. It has its own 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.179 syntax. You need to understand parameters. You're 00:10:16.179 --> 00:10:20.799 typing things like R 16 .9 for aspect ratio or 00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:23.679 style raw to remove the AI look. So if I want 00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:26.639 a photorealistic image of a professional woman 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:29.320 giving a keynote speech, and I want it to look 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:31.539 like a cinematic photograph. You have to code 00:10:31.539 --> 00:10:34.399 that in. You need to specify the lighting, the 00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:37.159 lens type, the film grain. But if you do that, 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:40.220 the result is unmatched. It's beautiful. It's 00:10:40.220 --> 00:10:42.620 for when you need high -end inspiration or final 00:10:42.620 --> 00:10:44.960 artwork. OK, so mid -journey is for the artists 00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:48.679 who want total control. But what if I just want 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:50.460 to edit something quickly? I don't want to write 00:10:50.460 --> 00:10:53.159 code. That's where this next tool comes in. The 00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:56.940 guide calls it Google Nano Banana Pro. Yes, a 00:10:56.940 --> 00:10:58.960 quirky name from the source material, but this 00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:02.179 refers to the models available in Google's ImageFX 00:11:02.179 --> 00:11:04.700 suite, likely based on the Image in 3 architecture. 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.500 But let's stick to the name. If Mid Journey is 00:11:07.500 --> 00:11:10.600 Excel -powerful but complex, this tool is Google 00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:14.000 Sheets. Simple, accessible. The workflow they 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:16.509 highlight here is in -painting. This is magic. 00:11:16.710 --> 00:11:18.809 Let's say you generate a great infographic about 00:11:18.809 --> 00:11:21.269 coffee. It looks perfect except there is a weird 00:11:21.269 --> 00:11:23.769 random floating box in the corner. In the old 00:11:23.769 --> 00:11:26.269 days of AI, which was like six months ago, you'd 00:11:26.269 --> 00:11:28.009 have to regenerate the whole image and hope for 00:11:28.009 --> 00:11:30.429 the best. And you'd probably lose the good parts 00:11:30.429 --> 00:11:32.570 of the image in the process. Exactly. But with 00:11:32.570 --> 00:11:35.409 this Google tool, you use a brush. You just paint 00:11:35.409 --> 00:11:38.029 over the weird box and type, remove this. It 00:11:38.029 --> 00:11:40.529 understands regions. It changes only the pixel 00:11:40.529 --> 00:11:42.830 data in that specific spot while keeping the 00:11:42.830 --> 00:11:45.149 rest of the image frozen. And the research mentions 00:11:45.149 --> 00:11:47.450 it's actually good at text, too. That has been 00:11:47.450 --> 00:11:51.059 the Achilles heel of AI images. Spelling. You 00:11:51.059 --> 00:11:54.220 ask for a stop sign, and it writes S -T -O -P 00:11:54.220 --> 00:11:56.820 -P. But this Google model is shockingly good 00:11:56.820 --> 00:11:59.200 at rendering text. If you ask for a neon sign 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:02.019 that says open late, it actually spells it correctly. 00:12:02.460 --> 00:12:04.899 So mid -journey for art, Google for editing and 00:12:04.899 --> 00:12:08.179 text. But there is a third category, storytelling. 00:12:08.779 --> 00:12:12.539 And this is where ChatGPT, specifically DLE3, 00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.019 supposedly wins. This comes down to one word, 00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:18.240 consistency. The mascot test. Right. Let's say 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:20.259 you are making a storyboard for a presentation. 00:12:20.700 --> 00:12:22.679 You create a character, a little robot named 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.279 Beep, round body, blue eyes, rusty antenna. If 00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:28.379 you ask Midjourney to show Beep in a new scene, 00:12:28.740 --> 00:12:30.799 it will likely generate a totally new robot. 00:12:31.100 --> 00:12:32.620 It might make him square, it might change his 00:12:32.620 --> 00:12:35.480 eye color. It treats every prompt as a new universe. 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.179 It forgets the past. Exactly. But ChatGPT remembers 00:12:39.179 --> 00:12:41.360 it has a conversational memory. You can say, 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:44.220 OK, that's beep, now show me dupe fixing a leaky 00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:46.820 pipe. And because it looks back at the chat history, 00:12:47.019 --> 00:12:49.440 it ensures beep still looks like beep. It seems 00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:52.019 like consistency is the hardest metric for these 00:12:52.019 --> 00:12:55.399 image models to hit. It is. That's why ChatGPT 00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:57.960 wins for storyboards, while MidJourney wins for 00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:01.179 art. Fascinating. So we have the tools for still 00:13:01.179 --> 00:13:03.960 images, but the guide mentions one final tool 00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:06.370 for when we need things to move. Google Flow. 00:13:06.590 --> 00:13:09.029 This is powered by their Veo model. And again, 00:13:09.029 --> 00:13:11.210 don't think of this as make me a movie. Think 00:13:11.210 --> 00:13:13.870 of it as connect these two ideas. The before 00:13:13.870 --> 00:13:16.610 and after workflow. Whoa. Imagine just handing 00:13:16.610 --> 00:13:19.049 a computer a before photo and an after photo, 00:13:19.070 --> 00:13:21.409 and it figures out the universe in between. Imagine 00:13:21.409 --> 00:13:24.110 you are an interior designer. You have a photo 00:13:24.110 --> 00:13:27.230 of an empty, ugly room image A, and you have 00:13:27.230 --> 00:13:29.509 a computer rendering of that same room, beautifully 00:13:29.509 --> 00:13:32.250 decorated image B. OK. Google Flow allows you 00:13:32.250 --> 00:13:34.850 to upload both images. You prompt it. Smooth 00:13:34.850 --> 00:13:38.509 transformation. lights turning on, and it figures 00:13:38.509 --> 00:13:41.190 out the middle. It calculates every single pixel 00:13:41.190 --> 00:13:43.970 needed to get from A to B. The sofa fades in, 00:13:44.169 --> 00:13:47.090 the lighting shifts, the shadows lengthen. It 00:13:47.090 --> 00:13:49.690 generates the video journey between those two 00:13:49.690 --> 00:13:52.070 static points. This essentially democratizes 00:13:52.070 --> 00:13:54.350 video editing for people who don't understand 00:13:54.350 --> 00:13:58.009 keyframes. Yes. It turns editing into simply 00:13:58.009 --> 00:14:01.850 defining the start and the finish. That is incredible. 00:14:02.169 --> 00:14:03.830 We're going to take a very short break. But when 00:14:03.830 --> 00:14:05.990 we come back, we're going to do a rapid fire 00:14:05.990 --> 00:14:08.409 recap. We've thrown a lot of tools at you. So 00:14:08.409 --> 00:14:10.429 we're going to condense it into a simple cheat 00:14:10.429 --> 00:14:13.139 sheet so you can walk away. with a clear plan. 00:14:14.659 --> 00:14:16.620 Okay, we have covered a massive amount of ground 00:14:16.620 --> 00:14:19.500 in the AI jungle today. We've looked at retrieval, 00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:22.580 action, writing, images, and video. And I think 00:14:22.580 --> 00:14:24.820 the main takeaway here, if you remember nothing 00:14:24.820 --> 00:14:28.019 else, is that trying to find one tool to do all 00:14:28.019 --> 00:14:30.600 of this is a mistake. It's a recipe for burnout 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:32.879 and mediocre rosette style. It's about matching 00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:36.120 the specific tool to the specific problem. So 00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:38.039 let's break it down one last time, rapid fire 00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:39.720 style. I'm going to give you the problem, you 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:42.889 give me the tool. Let's do it. Okay. I have files 00:14:42.889 --> 00:14:46.090 scattered everywhere, email, drive, calendar, 00:14:46.490 --> 00:14:48.389 and I can't find the data I need for a report. 00:14:48.690 --> 00:14:51.809 Google Gemini, specifically the Workspace extension. 00:14:51.970 --> 00:14:54.269 It lives in the house. It doesn't need to knock. 00:14:54.570 --> 00:14:56.990 I have messy database that needs updating, or 00:14:56.990 --> 00:14:59.029 a page of scrambled meeting notes that needs 00:14:59.029 --> 00:15:02.970 structure. Notion AI. The digital janitor. It 00:15:02.970 --> 00:15:05.990 organizes chaos. I have writer's block. I'm staring 00:15:05.990 --> 00:15:08.190 at a blank screen, afraid to send a difficult 00:15:08.190 --> 00:15:10.830 email. Whisper flow. It captures your intent, 00:15:10.889 --> 00:15:13.470 not your stumbles. It turns your brain dump into 00:15:13.470 --> 00:15:16.409 a draft. I need a high -end artistic image for 00:15:16.409 --> 00:15:18.470 a website header, and I'm willing to learn some 00:15:18.470 --> 00:15:21.490 prompt syntax. Mid -journey. Total creative control 00:15:21.490 --> 00:15:23.769 for the highest quality. I need to fix a typo 00:15:23.769 --> 00:15:25.929 on an image or remove a weird background object 00:15:25.929 --> 00:15:28.909 quickly. Google Nano Banana Pro or Image FX. 00:15:29.309 --> 00:15:31.929 The precision editor. I need a consistent character 00:15:31.929 --> 00:15:34.710 for a storyboard or a comic. Chat GPT, it remembers 00:15:34.710 --> 00:15:37.590 who Beep is. And finally, I need to show a transformation 00:15:37.590 --> 00:15:40.889 from point A to point B in a video. Google Flow, 00:15:40.889 --> 00:15:43.429 it animates the gap between ideas. You know, 00:15:43.429 --> 00:15:46.690 putting it like that, the AI jungle feels a little 00:15:46.690 --> 00:15:49.529 less wild. It feels manageable. It does. And 00:15:49.529 --> 00:15:51.929 the key is you don't have to conquer the whole 00:15:51.929 --> 00:15:54.269 jungle at once. You don't need to master all 00:15:54.269 --> 00:15:56.350 seven of these tools this weekend. That leads 00:15:56.350 --> 00:15:58.909 us to our challenge for you, the listener. We 00:15:58.909 --> 00:16:00.549 don't want you to go download everything we just 00:16:00.549 --> 00:16:02.269 mentioned. That's just adding more noise to your 00:16:02.269 --> 00:16:05.409 life. Right. Pick just one. What is your biggest 00:16:05.409 --> 00:16:08.909 bottleneck right now? If your inbox is a disaster, 00:16:09.309 --> 00:16:12.690 try the Gemini extension. If you hate typing, 00:16:12.990 --> 00:16:17.250 try Whisper. Spend 15 minutes with just one tool. 00:16:17.610 --> 00:16:20.509 Don't build the perfect system overnight. Build 00:16:20.509 --> 00:16:23.210 it one tool at a time. And if you know someone 00:16:23.210 --> 00:16:26.090 who is drowning in the noise of Newteko, maybe 00:16:26.090 --> 00:16:28.409 a colleague or a friend, share this deep dive 00:16:28.409 --> 00:16:30.610 with them. Absolutely. We can all learn to work 00:16:30.610 --> 00:16:33.169 smarter together. Thanks for listening. See you 00:16:33.169 --> 00:16:33.850 in the next deep dive.
