🤖 AI's Biggest Week of the Year – You Won’t Believe What Just Happened!
PLUS: OpenAI has finally released Sora
Happy Monday!
You know those years where you could swear nothing happened, and then suddenly, a week comes along that feels like a decade crammed into seven days? Step right up to this week's extravaganza, where it appears that everyone and their grandma is launching something simultaneously! Google decided to unleash Gemini 2.0, OpenAI went on a launch spree that’ll take me a year to wrap my head around, and Apple finally decided to play nice with ChatGPT. But wait, there’s more!
I’ve got two juicy updates of my own. First up, I’m diving into the AI agent game. My buddy Matt and I whipped up an AI agent that can tell you which of my 500 (yes, 500!) AI tools is the best fit for your business challenge. It’s like having a personal AI sommelier, minus the fancy wine. Check it out here! Note: Just click the small bubble in the corner to interact with the agent.
And drumroll, please... I’m launching a new AI course! After hearing from the Cliff Notes community, it turns out you all want to know how to use AI to save time, boost productivity, and keep your wallet happy. Don’t worry, my course will cover all that jazz. Keep your eyes peeled over the next few weeks for the grand debut! My early beta testers are absolutely rocking it with AI, and they're practically doing the robot dance in anticipation for you to join the party! If you're eager to jump in and make 2025 the year you elevate your AI skills, I'm here to help you do just that!
