WEBVTT
00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:12.880
Even though we still don't have a new frontier model from Google, well, they kind of went on a small tear this week in terms of new and helpful AI updates we can actually use today.
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:16.000
I mean, their Spark agent now lives inside of Chrome.
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:21.760
Google Docs got a huge AI glow up, and their new music model is pretty impressive.
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:25.920
But Google Drops weren't the only new AI updates we got this week.
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:38.799
We got helpful updates from ChatGPT and Chrome and Codex, a new Vibe design contender, and a new Slack-like platform that's mainly for directing agents from all providers.
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:43.520
Yeah, you can't stop following the AI updates.
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:50.159
I know this week was full of drama, open source, and you know, is the government gonna slow things down?
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:59.600
You know, people from the big companies saying maybe we should slow down, but here's the reality you can't uh because these new updates are rolling out.
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:04.159
And sometimes we think it's just the big new AI models that change how we work.
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:05.680
I'd beg the opposite.
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:12.640
A lot of times it's these smaller uh AI features that you might miss that might actually have the biggest impact.
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:20.319
And that's why we do our Friday features show, where we tell you the best new AI features you can actually use today.
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:23.439
These aren't waitlists, these aren't leaks, these are coming soon.
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:29.920
This is like, hey, hit pause on this podcast, go log in and let's learn about it together.
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:32.400
So, on today's show, here's what you're gonna learn.
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:37.040
You're gonna know why Google is making AI noise in your browser docs and ears.
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:47.760
You're gonna know the new Chat GPT browser magic you can cook up, and you're gonna know the new Slack-like platform that's made for your agents to work together, but with you directing them.
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:49.040
All right, let's get into it.
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:50.239
Welcome to Everyday AI.
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:52.959
My name's Jordan Wilson, and well, this thing's for you.
00:01:53.040 --> 00:02:03.040

00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:08.960
So if that's what you're trying to do, make sure to subscribe to the podcast, but also check out today's newsletter.
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:17.360
We're gonna be recapping the highlights from today's show, as well as giving you the 101 of everything you need to know that's going on in AI world.
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.159
All right, so let's get straight into it.
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:25.199
A lot to cover today in our Friday features segment.
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:32.560
Uh, first, a new contender in the Vibe Design Arena, and it's from Replit.
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:48.639
So Replit launched their Replit design, and here's what's new it is a full creative suite that's replacing Canvas, uh, where the tool keeps offering you design variations as you work instead of waiting to be prompted.
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:50.800
So it is directly built in.
00:02:50.879 --> 00:03:01.919
Uh, sorry, uh Mobin is directly built in, which is a reference library of 600,000 real app screens that normally require its own paid subscription.
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:06.960
So you can upload a design system once and everything you make just snaps to your brand.
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:21.520
So this is uh if you have a paid Replit account, uh, you don't have to pay anything extra, and it's actually free for every user with no tier gate announced, which is kind of unusual for something this model heavy right now.
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:26.560
Also, that mobbin access requires no separate account and no additional costs.
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:30.879
So here's kind of why it matters and who should care.
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:35.360
Well, I mean, I think the target here is kind of the handoff, not like the drawing.
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:47.120
So Replit is better at you know, is they're kind of betting that the export and rebuild step between design and engineering kind of disappears, and that's a direct shot at where Figma sits in the workflow.
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.800
So they're just giving away also a paid reference library for free.
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:52.400
That's a distribution play.
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:56.800
Um, and the the quieter implication here, though, is the org design.
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:04.879
So, like when a project manager can produce something that's publishable, the question of who makes the first version stops being so obvious.
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:06.080
So, who should care?
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:09.840
Well, founders, project managers who are shipping without a designer on staff.
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:11.039
This is big, right?
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:17.279
So I I do think, at least for Replit, this is one of the bigger uh missing pieces, right?
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:25.120
Obviously, Replit is kind of a full stack vibe uh coding app, uh, but the design piece left something to be desired.
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:31.439
A lot of times you had to use uh a separate uh you know project uh product and bring it all into Replit.
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:35.439
So here is what Replit says about the new Replit design.
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:42.560
They said today we're launching Replit Design, a new creative suite where anyone can shape what they see as fast as they can think.
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.160
Replit design is the fastest way to go from idea to design.
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.000
Ambient intelligence guides and inspires you at every step.
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:58.000
And because everything lives on Replit, there are no handoffs, exports, or rebuilds that cause you to lose the beauty of what you created.
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:02.160
You don't need to be a designer, you just need to know what you want to bring to life.
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:10.399
Create with your choice of the world's leading models for design, including Claude, GPT-5, Gemini, Kimmy, and GLM.
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:24.000
Uh, so I do hope that something like this becomes the status quo um in Claude Codecs, everything else, because it's actually really cool.
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:41.600
Um, so a lot of times, right, the way I like to start kind of vibe uh projects is first I find inspiration, um, and then I'll usually upload that inspiration uh into either Claude Design or um I love uh Google's um Stitch.
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.439
My gosh, like I I I speak so much AI and use so many.
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:49.040
Uh yeah, is it Stitch or is it now I'm gonna have to look it up?
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:52.160
Uh it's like, oh, I only use this like all the time.
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.959
Yeah, Google Stitch, uh absolutely fantastic.
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:56.160
Love Google Stitch.
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:59.040
Um, you know, it just kind of gives you entire mock-ups.
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.360
Um in, you know, it's powered by Nano Banana.
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:05.920
And I also use GPT image um uh two, uh so images too.
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:10.000
So I usually start and it's is usually kind of a multi-step process for me.
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:22.720
Um so if you all if you are already a heavy replit user and you just haven't liked the visuals of what you've been able to get with Replit, I think the new Replit design is obviously a no-brainer.
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:24.639
It's obviously not an additional cost.
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:30.879
Um, you know, with the mob and library, uh, it's it's it's a pretty good kind of no-brainer setup.
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:31.680
All right.
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:40.160
Our next one, a small one for chat GPT, but at least for me, I'm like, okay, I'm gonna be using this all the time.
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:45.040
So this is an update to the Chat GPT Chrome extension.
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:49.920
So the Chrome extension now answers questions about any YouTube video, right?
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:56.560
That's one thing I obviously do uh a lot of is watching YouTube videos in 2x or in 2.5x.
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.199
I get a Chrome extension to make it go even faster.
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:00.480
Uh so that's great.
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:10.720
Uh, you know, that's one of the main reasons that I would still use the Ask Gemini uh tab inside of Google Chrome is just to uh quickly recap YouTube videos.
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:16.160
So that is now in the ChatGPT Chrome extension, which is new, right?
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.040
It's is completely new as of like three weeks ago.
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:28.160
Um, also you have the um opportunity to now mention open tabs or pull highlighted text straight into the side chat.
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:36.879
So if you don't, if you kind of missed the uh the new chat GPT Chrome extension, uh it's really good.
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:45.680
So the new version of this came out um kind of alongside GPT 5.6 and uh ChatGPT work, kind of the super app.
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:52.240
But uh essentially, and what I love is it's completely different than the old ChatGPT Chrome extension.
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:55.199
Uh it has all of your conversations that are there.
00:07:55.360 --> 00:08:03.839
So that's something I love, even though I am using the built-in browser um a ton in you know chat GPT workslash codecs.
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:08.480
Um, it's actually usually pretty busy, if that makes sense.
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:18.560
Like I sometimes have like dozens or hundreds of automations a week that are using the browser inside of ChatGPT workslash codex.
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:24.800
So sometimes because of that, and I'm like, okay, I'm really just straight up abusing Codecs ChatGPT.
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:26.800
I'll still use Chrome for that reason, right?
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:28.480
It's like I don't want to throw anything off.
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:33.840
I'm just gonna let, you know, essentially my agents, that's their browser, and I still use Chrome a lot.
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:38.399
So uh I do love the new ChatGPT extension, and these new features are really cool.
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:45.679
So ChatGPT can obviously search your browsing history so you can ask it to find the page that you read Tuesday instead of hunting for it.
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.000
Um, so who has access to this right now?
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:58.799
So any desktop app users who are obviously you know have the most up-to-date build, uh, but the tab and YouTube features do require the Chrome extension specifically.
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:02.480
So uh there's no plan tier restrictions for these.
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:06.159
So uh yeah, you don't even have to be on a certain paid plan.
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:07.840
Uh so why does this matter?
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:16.080
Well, I think this is the uh kind of the assistant moving from a place you go to a layer that sits on top of what you're already doing.
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.200
Um, so it's a different product category than a chatbot.
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:20.799
Even for someone like me, right?
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.720
Uh my codex is open at all times.
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.080
Um, I love the new Chrome extension, right?
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:35.200
Even just being able to watch in real time, like, hey, what is my uh, you know, where is my codex?
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:42.639
This thread I'm at that's maybe an important thread that I'm watching, to just be able to click a button and see it without having to change, right?
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:50.240
Especially when I'm on my laptop, um, you know, without having to, you know, kind of switch the flow of where I'm at, I think it's actually super helpful.
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:52.639
So who is this gonna impact?
00:09:52.799 --> 00:10:01.759
Well, I think anyone whose research happens across 20 tabs, and you know, especially if you're watching watching long form video, uh, those kind of things.
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:12.480
So anyone that's a researcher, if you're a student or if you're just doing heavy knowledge work uh inside Chrome, um, it's it's gonna be something that I think is gonna be extremely helpful.
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:17.679
Um so let's get to our next AI update.
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:28.399
And well, this is Meta, and Meta is making that shift slowly but surely uh from an AI chatbot to, well, something a little bit more agentic.
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:34.000
So here is what is new uh with Meta's new AI tasks.
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:45.600
So Meta AI now runs recurring tasks and daily briefings instead of just answering questions or pulling uh from your calendar to flag conflicts and also summarize what's coming.
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:53.759
So you can set something up once, like a weekly plan or uh a restock alert or whatever, and it's just gonna run without prompting.
00:10:53.919 --> 00:11:02.559
So this is driven by the new Muse Spark 1.1 uh that is meta's uh agentic model built for tool use essentially.
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:04.799
So who has access to this right now?
00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:08.559
Uh well, it's in select markets only, so this isn't a global rollout.
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:13.279
Um, and it is just in the meta AI app and at meta.ai.
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:17.840
So yeah, this isn't where, you know, in all the other platforms, right?
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.159
WhatsApp, uh Instagram, all that stuff.
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:23.600
So why does it matter and who's gonna use it?
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:30.320
Uh well, Meta has spent a year like telling everyone it wasn't gonna chase productivity tools, but it just kind of did.
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:31.120
Um, right.
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:37.759
But I think ultimately, uh, you know, Meta realized that this is what people want, uh, right?
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:41.600
People want uh to be able to set it and forget it, right?
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:44.960
They want agentic scheduling, uh, right.
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.720
This is for me one thing I do every single day, right?
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.080
I'm always looking to get things on a routine or a schedule.
00:11:52.159 --> 00:12:00.080
Uh, literally, like my first thing I do is well, I check my overnight runs, you know, when I have my agents working third shift.
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:02.159
Um, so that's what I do in the morning.
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:07.759
Um, and then at least recently, right, I'm using ChatGPT voice and getting outside more, right?
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.840
Like the weather's nice that right now in Chicago.
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:15.759
So taking like more walks in the morning and just going through all my threads and making decisions right there with ChatGPT voice.
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:22.159
But for the most part, if I'm not um, if I'm prompting, I usually think there's a problem, right?
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:31.840
So if I am prompting, well, after I prompt, and you know, if I'm calling on multiple skills or whatever, you know, I'm usually going to turn that into a skill or a plug-in and then schedule that.
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:38.559
So it is good to see Meta here uh, you know, finally offering something in terms of scheduling.
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:48.320
So um Meta's actual asset is you know, it's personal context that nobody else has, um, you know, mainly your social graft.
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:51.759
Um, so that's ultimately, I think, what's gonna be their moat.
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:55.200
Um, and I think, you know, and who's gonna use Meta AI?
00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:56.480
I'm not sure.
00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:57.600
Um, right.
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:05.840
Even when they, you know, came out with a new model and had it for free and all these features, it's like, okay, I go in there and they're like fine, they're okay.
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:08.080
Um, but even, I mean, I don't know.
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:17.200
Uh, just with the amount of uh free uh that you get from Chat GPT, uh, you know, everyone else is cutting the subsidies a little bit, right?
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:21.200
Google used to be very generous, not as generous anymore, but still, I don't know.
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:29.039
If you have a paid subscription, I don't think you really necessarily need to use the new meta AI, but let's at least uh talk about what's new.
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:34.320
So here's what they said: you've been using meta AI to find answers, think through ideas and create content.
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:36.879
Now it can go further and actually get things done for you.
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:43.919
Meta AI can now make plans, follow through on next steps, and keep you on track without needing to be reminded or reprompted.
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:57.039
Tell Meta tell Meta AI you're renovating your kitchen and it will learn your style, scout marketplace for furniture and fixtures that fit your budget, and send you a mood board so you can see how it all comes together.
00:13:57.279 --> 00:14:13.279
Ask it to help you build a running plan for your first half marathon and it will create a week-by-week training schedule, adjust for your availability, and share your plan for the week every Monday morning, or ask it to plan a birthday dinner and it will find restaurants, check your calendar for night that works, and suggest options.
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:14.639
All right, so pretty cool.
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:15.759
Am I gonna use it?
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:16.320
No.
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:23.120
Uh, but I don't know if you're a heavy uh Facebook user or if you don't have any paid subscriptions, maybe, right?
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:26.159
The new Muse Spark 1.1 is actually a really good model.
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:35.600
Um, and if you are, I don't know, maybe you're you know, you work in social media marketing, advertising, so you're always using the meta platforms, then it might make sense.
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:37.120
All right, next.
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:39.600
Yeah, now we're getting into the Google portion.
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:42.240
Uh, three straight Google updates for everyone.
00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:47.759
So the first, a big Gemini, uh Google Gemini in docs glow up.
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:58.240
So Gemini can now generate and edit images, diagrams, and infographics inside of Google Docs using what you've written as context.
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:09.840
So it also works your comment uh threads, summarizing them, drafting replies, leaving new comments for you, and rewriting sections based on review or feedback.
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:12.720
Uh so who has access to this right now?
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:14.240
Well, you have to be on a paid plan.
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:23.440
So either a uh work uh workspace plan, standard or plus, or just an individual, you know, plus or AI Pro Ultra plan.
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:30.320
So image generation, though, is web only, and the comment features require edit access to the document.
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:36.080
Uh, the rollout is gradual, although it is already starting to roll out to those tiers.
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:39.279
So um, why does it matter and who should care?
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:45.679
Well, this is like the boring productivity win that actually produces ROI, right?
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:51.840
Drafting was never really the bottleneck in document work, especially when we have like AI everywhere.
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:57.200
It was more of like the review cycle and you know, those 40 unresolved comments, right?
00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:59.360
That's where the project sometimes stalls.
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:06.960
So it's good to see that uh, you know, Gemini is starting to, you know, infuse more of its AI into Google Docs.
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:13.600
I would say, um, you know, of all the Google products, I'm very heavy in docs and sheets.
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:20.480
Um, so I do think Sheets has been a little bit more ahead of the game in terms of how they've worked Gemini into the fold.
00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:22.879
I think Google Docs has been a little bit behind.
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:27.360
So this is pretty uh, you know, a pretty good uh update in my mind.
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:28.639
So who should care?
00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:29.600
Who's gonna use this?
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:40.320
Well, I mean, uh, especially if you are a heavy uh Google Docs organization, leaving a lot of comments, going through working with multiple versions of documents, that's gonna be good.
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:46.720
Um, but I I think one thing that could be good is people who are still just writing old school blog posts, right?
00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:52.720
And maybe you need visuals, uh, you know, working in nano banana into Google Docs, uh, that's pretty nice, right?
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:56.720
There was a an AI tool I used to use a lot called Napkin, right?
00:16:56.799 --> 00:16:58.960
So it's kind of like what I think of, right?
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:05.279
Where you can put in a bunch of text and you know make some visuals and um charts and graphics, right?
00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:09.039
So you can obviously do that with Google's nano banana, but also images as well.
00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:18.160
So, you know, I think if you um you know you know really are comfortable in the Google Docs interface and you do need some of those other features.
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:21.759
Well, now you don't have to do a bunch of copying and pasting and context switching.
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:24.079
You can just get it all done in Google Docs.
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:37.920
All right, next, staying on the Google train, choo choo, uh, we have their new uh always on 24/7 agent Google Gemini Spark is now in Chrome.
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:43.680
So Google's always on Cloud Agent Spark now plugs into desktop Chrome.
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:48.880
And if you do give it permission, it can use your logged in accounts and saved passwords.
00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:51.279
And that's the big thing right there, right?
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:53.039
Like that's one reason for me.
00:17:53.200 --> 00:18:09.359
Um, I absolutely love the new codex slash chat GPT work update because it does integrate all your Chrome passwords, and that's huge in terms of what you can actually actually accomplish um with an agentic browser or an agent that uses a browser, right?
00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:28.079
Um, because if you're you know, your first go-to is always going to be using a direct integration uh or an MCP, but you know, so many things, at least that I use, don't have a direct integration into you know, Claude Code or um Chat GPT, and a lot of them don't even have an MCP.
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:36.240
So then it's well, give the agent your credentials if you trust them and if you're allowed to, and we'll have it do the work for you.
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:39.519
Uh so that's a pretty big update there from Google.
00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:40.720
So let's just talk.
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:44.799
Uh, this is from their uh their page.
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:54.079
Uh so they say today we are expanding Gemini Spark to more users around the world and adding a new feature to help you handle complex web errands.
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:55.839
Here's a look at what's new.
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:59.759
So they say handle web errands with Chrome Auto Browse.
00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:06.400
So they say we're taking Spark's web browsing capabilities even further by integrating directly with Chrome.
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:20.160
Now, with your permission, Spark can use your logged in accounts and saved passwords to handle tedious web errands like scheduling viewings for apartments, your uh saved or researching flight options and starting the booking process.
00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:30.160
This is all done while protecting against threats like prompt injections and keeping you in the loop on sensitive actions such as payments by handling by handing the task back to you.
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:36.480
These capabilities are initially rolling out in the US with plans to expand to additional regions in the future.
00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:37.440
So there you go.
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.680
So right now it is starting in the US with paid plans.
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:50.240
So yeah, if you're a heavy um Chrome user and you have a lot of repetitive tasks, I don't know why.
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:53.680
Uh, right, it all the big companies do this, right?
00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:55.039
People always show the demo.
00:19:55.119 --> 00:20:00.480
It's like, oh, you know, adding things to your Instacart app or you know, booking tickets.
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:01.200
I don't know.
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:10.079
For me, for those things that are ultimately requiring a transaction, I don't necessarily want to go agent on those, right?
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:14.000
At least not to the point of adding my cart, maybe find me the five best trips.
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:15.279
Sure, that's fine.
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:31.119
Um, but I don't know for me, like I think it'd be really cool if all the companies would stop using uh you know personal errands, um, because this is actually a big, big step forward uh for Gemini uh in Chrome and the Spark agent.
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:34.720
And like we talked about, I think it was either last week or the week before, right?
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:39.279
So the Spark agent is now here, uh, right, which is really cool.
00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:41.519
So before it was only on the Ultra Plan.
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:55.359
So now if you have a paid uh Google Gemini plan, well, you have Gemini Spark, which is you know essentially their version of like an open claw um or like a you know just an agent that lives in the browser, right?
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:57.599
It's browser-based, not desktop based.
00:20:57.680 --> 00:20:58.799
Um, but I don't know.
00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:04.079
For me, I would have liked to see some uh more examples and use cases on using this for work.
00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:10.160
But anyone that's drowning in scheduling, booking, uh comparison work, right?
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:16.640
If you're in security or IT, uh you know, anyone comparing agentic browsers, also, right?
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:21.839
Like if you are a heavy Chrome user, or maybe you can only use Chrome, right?
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:26.880
This is a great way to marry um, you know, your Google data because that's the other thing.
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:34.480
It can access and understand anything in your Google Drive, your Gmail, et cetera, and then use all of that information on the web, right?
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:37.680
So, yeah, things like filling out uh forms, right?
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:44.720
That's something I would love to use something like this for, and especially having it directly connected uh to all your Google data.
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:49.440
All right, our last Google one is Liria three.
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:54.559
So this is Google's new AI um music maker.
00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:59.680
So yeah, if you know like Suno or Yu Dio, uh Liria now 3.
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:03.200
Is out in new from Google.
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:14.079
So this is Google DeepMind's newest music model with what they say is better melodies, lyrics that follow the prompt, more expressive vocals, and direct control over tempo and length.
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:20.480
So vocal delivery is the specific target, which has been the thing that kind of gives AI music away.
00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:21.680
So who has access?
00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:22.400
Why does it matter?
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:23.119
Who should care?
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:26.160
Well, it's available in Flow Music.
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:26.799
All right.
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:30.880
So uh I think I hope eventually they'll bring this to Gemini.
00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:38.480
Um, you know, it previously when they rolled out, I think uh Liria 3, it was available in Gemini uh on launch day.
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:43.680
So this time it's not, it's only in Google Flow Music, which is actually a really cool program.
00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:46.720
It's kind of like a vibe music, right?
00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:52.079
You just kind of chat with the chat bot and you can make iterative edits, which is really cool.
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:54.960
Um, so it's available in Flow Music.
00:22:55.039 --> 00:23:05.359
Uh, you do have to have a paid uh Gemini account to use it right now, and then also uh it has commercial use rights that ride on those paid tiers.
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:11.599
So uh Google says it does not claim ownership of the original content that you generate.
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:24.799
So the story here is licensing, not necessarily audio quality, because Suno and Yu-Gi-Oh are both in active Sony music litigation and Google trains, uh they say on licensed data.
00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:30.559
Uh so this is the third, though, meaningful Liria release in like six months.
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:38.000
Um, that tells you that Google is treating AI music as an actual product line, not just you know, something they're toying around with.
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:39.839
Um, so who should care?
00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:44.319
I mean, if you're a video team, a podcaster, right?
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:47.599
A creative, uh, you know, marketer, advertiser.
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:53.039
The the cool thing is that I didn't know is well, the songs are like three minutes, uh, right.
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:57.039
And the songs are actually pretty, yeah.
00:23:57.119 --> 00:23:58.480
Okay, I won't say good.
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:04.240
The lyrics aren't good, all right, but you can, you know, use a different program to to bring the lyrics.
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:12.079
Um, before I started recording here, I I tried, I don't know, five, six, seven songs, and like the cohesion was great, right?
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:19.920
I was having it blend like two extremely different music genres, and I'm like, okay, it actually did a really good job, right?
00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:26.240
And the vocals were um on beat, they were on point, even when I was throwing in these mixed genres.
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:34.079
But sometimes I won't say the lyrics were nonsensical, but the lyrics were just lyrics, right?
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:37.119
Um, and I think Suno does a much better job.
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:44.240
Like I said, obviously, for any AI music platform, you can provide your own lyrics, but a lot of times you don't necessarily want to.
00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:48.240
Um, you know, with a little bit of prompting, they get a little bit better, but I don't know.
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:55.839
To me, the lyrics were still just kind of um slop um or slop-ish, right?
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:58.880
Better than they were, uh, but still not great.
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:00.720
Although they sound really good, right?
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:05.839
Like the different, you know, I tried out all kinds of different genres, like it sounds like good music.
00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:10.400
And then when you listen to the lyrics, you're like, this is a little sloppy.
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:22.400
Uh, but overall, uh, if you want to do your own lyrics and if for whatever reason you need uh, you know, audio uh music generated for something, uh, pretty, pretty good to check out.
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:28.559
All right, last but not least, and this is one aside from like mentioning it once in our newsletter.
00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:33.599
I haven't talked about this, and I've actually been enjoying uh kind of toying around with this.
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:42.480
It hasn't, at least for me, gotten uh, I don't think production ready yet, but it very well could be just because the company that's behind it.
00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:44.079
So here's what's next.
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:50.079
This is Buzz from Block, uh, the parent company uh for Square.
00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:58.480
So this is kind of like a Slack lookalike that's built for teams to essentially talk with agents from any provider.
00:25:58.640 --> 00:25:59.039
All right.
00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:03.039
So yeah, you can bring your whole team in, both all your humans.
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:10.559
So it is like Slack, it has channels and at mentioning and all those things, but essentially you can bring all your different agents in too.
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:21.519
And then you can, you know, like as an example, you know, just like you would on Slack or Microsoft Teams, you can, you know, put in, you know, you can bring in your skills, which is really cool.
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:34.480
And then you can, you know, have, you know, as an example, codecs start on one thing, hand it off to Claude, they go through, then they hand it off to, I don't know, an open source model, have them work, collaborate, talk amongst themselves.
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:38.400
So the thing here it's really nice.
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:41.039
I don't know if I'll actually use it.
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:42.319
And here's why.
00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:48.240
Maybe it's more of like I've spent so much time getting this very thing set up in Codex, right?
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:56.000
I use like I've created bridges, you know, from Codex to Claude and vice versa to other, you know, other model providers.
00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:03.759
Um, so at least for me, I'm usually working with multiple model providers in Codex or Cloud Code.
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:08.559
Um, but I mean, I still have been having fun experimenting uh with Buzz.
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:09.759
It is an open source project.
00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:21.039
So uh it is, you know, every participant, whether it's a human or an agent, they get their own cryptographic identity, which means that every message, code change, and approval kind of leaves a signed trail.
00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:28.079
So agents join as members with scoped permissions, so that's important, not as bots like waiting on a slash command.
00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:32.480
So it's free and open source under uh Apache 2.0.
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:39.440
So you can use blocks uh hosted version, you can download the desktop app, or you can self-host it entirely.
00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:45.359
Uh, I do believe they also just came out um with an iOS version and an Android version.
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:53.839
So there's mobile support and uh out of the box, it works well uh with Claude Code, Codecs, and uh Blocks agent as well.
00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:59.039
But there's different ways I think you can use like through open router that essentially you can bring any model in.
00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:10.720
So I think this is like an answer to kind of not an answer, but a potential answer to agent governance um for smaller teams at the infrastructure layer rather than at the policy layer.
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:21.440
And like that distinction's kind of like the whole point, um, because most companies can't just tell you which actions in their logs came from a person and which ones came from an agent.
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:25.279
So this one is kind of like leaving that agentic agent trail, right?
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:29.680
It's leaving saying, hey, these agents did this, the human said this, right?
00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:49.200
So obviously, if you're using like Microsoft Copilot, I think they're actually kind of uh a leader in the space in terms of that um uh kind of large teams working with a lot of uh co-pilots and being able to trace, uh, you know, whether it's through intra ID or something else, being able to trace every single thing.
00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:52.559
Um, I think some of the other players have a little bit more to keep up on.
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:58.559
So it's nice that a new open source platform like that has that built in and as a core feature.
00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:02.720
So uh here is uh what Buzz says.
00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:05.839
Uh so uh technically Block says about Buzz.
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:14.640
So Block said today we're releasing Buzz, a free open source collaboration platform where humans and AI agents work together in a shared workspace.
00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:17.599
It's available now at Buzz.xyz.
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:22.319
Over the past two years, we've built and open sourced a series of AI tools at Block.
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:27.839
Through all of it, we've come to the realization that the most productive work doesn't happen when someone asks AI for help.
00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:33.680
It happens when humans and agents are in the same room working on the same thing with shared context.
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:38.160
There was no platform design for that, so we built one.
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:53.359
Um, so it's I think, right, it's open source if you already have like someone like me or larger teams that they're generally using a lot of different subscriptions uh and you have different skills or preferences of using certain models for certain purposes.
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:57.839
I think it is worth exploring to see if it can maybe be a stopgap.
00:29:58.079 --> 00:30:05.759
I think eventually, um, I think we're gonna see this type of um interaction probably in codex first.
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:18.480
And I would assume that when Microsoft comes out with their super app, which would be uh, you know, any day, any week now, I uh I would think that uh Microsoft will eventually have some collaborative features.
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:22.000
Um, I would say the same thing, obviously, for Claude and Gemini.
00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:28.400
So I don't think this is like where you're, you know, you should throw away your current harness or anything like that.
00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:40.400
But for smaller teams or for project sprints that you know that you're gonna have to work with multiple teams or multiple team members that are using different harnesses, different models, it actually might be good for instances like that.
00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:41.759
Scope it out first.
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:44.880
This is brand new, but it looks promising so far.
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:47.519
Like I said, for me, I don't think I'll be using it.
00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:52.000
We're a small team, um, and I'm so codex pilled, right?
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:56.640
And you know, I like I said, I've built the bridge from Codex to Claude and Claude to Codex.
00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:08.079
Um, so I don't necessarily, aside from like being like, oh, this is fun, this is cool, I don't necessarily have a good use case for it, but I think for uh many of you out there, it's gonna be something definitely worth looking at.
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:13.839
All right, that is a wrap for the seven new AI features you need to know.
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:15.359
So a quick update.
00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:19.519
Replit design is out, it looks really nice.
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:30.799
Uh, chat GPT desktop and Chrome extension updates, allowing you to uh summarize YouTube videos or mention at mention uh other tabs and pull info from there.
00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:40.559
Um Meta shifting from just an AI chatbot with Muse Spark 1.1 to just schedule a genetic model that gets work done for you.
00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:54.880
Uh Google with a ton of new updates, uh, some new updates with Gemini in Google Docs, um, their new uh Gemini Spark integration in Google Chrome and the updated Liria 3.5 uh model.
00:31:55.680 --> 00:32:00.079
And then uh last but not least, we just have Buzz from Block.
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:08.799
A good way for uh you and your team to talk to many different agents and I don't know, just have them fight it out and watch it and eat popcorn and have fun.
00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:10.160
All right, that's a wrap, y'all.
00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:14.559
So uh if this was helpful, yeah, we do these kind of themed shows a couple of times a week.
00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:16.319
On Friday, we bring you Friday features.
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:19.680
These are things, AI tools and updates you can actually use now.
00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:21.759
On Monday, we go over the AI news, y'all.
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:25.599
I'm telling you, this week was crazy in AI news, right?
00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:33.440
Not just like, you know, it wasn't necessarily about model releases, it was about agents going loose, you know, laws, regulations, nuts.
00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:40.559
And then on Wednesdays, we do hands-on demos called uh putting AI to work on Wednesdays, and Tuesdays and Thursdays, we rotate our shows.
00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:41.839
So I hope this is helpful.
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:43.599
If it was, please do me a favor.
00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:45.519
It takes you like 10 seconds.
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:51.200
Uh, make sure to subscribe or follow uh the podcasts on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:53.839
Then go to your everydayai.com.
00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:54.880
Thanks for tuning in.
00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:58.079
We'll see you back next week and every day for more everyday AI.
00:32:58.160 --> 00:32:59.119
Thanks, y'all.
00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:12.880
Even though we still don't have a new frontier model from Google, well, they kind of went on a small tear this week in terms of new and helpful AI updates we can actually use today.
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:16.000
I mean, their Spark agent now lives inside of Chrome.
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:21.760
Google Docs got a huge AI glow up, and their new music model is pretty impressive.
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:25.920
But Google Drops weren't the only new AI updates we got this week.
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:38.799
We got helpful updates from ChatGPT and Chrome and Codex, a new Vibe design contender, and a new Slack-like platform that's mainly for directing agents from all providers.
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:43.520
Yeah, you can't stop following the AI updates.
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:50.159
I know this week was full of drama, open source, and you know, is the government gonna slow things down?
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:59.600
You know, people from the big companies saying maybe we should slow down, but here's the reality you can't uh because these new updates are rolling out.
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:04.159
And sometimes we think it's just the big new AI models that change how we work.
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:05.680
I'd beg the opposite.
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:12.640
A lot of times it's these smaller uh AI features that you might miss that might actually have the biggest impact.
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:20.319
And that's why we do our Friday features show, where we tell you the best new AI features you can actually use today.
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:23.439
These aren't waitlists, these aren't leaks, these are coming soon.
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:29.920
This is like, hey, hit pause on this podcast, go log in and let's learn about it together.
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:32.400
So, on today's show, here's what you're gonna learn.
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:37.040
You're gonna know why Google is making AI noise in your browser docs and ears.
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:47.760
You're gonna know the new Chat GPT browser magic you can cook up, and you're gonna know the new Slack-like platform that's made for your agents to work together, but with you directing them.
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:49.040
All right, let's get into it.
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:50.239
Welcome to Everyday AI.
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:52.959
My name's Jordan Wilson, and well, this thing's for you.
00:01:53.040 --> 00:02:03.040
It's your daily live stream podcast and free daily newsletter, helping everyday business leaders like you and me not just keep up with AI, but how you can all actually get ahead to grow your company and your career.
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:08.960
So if that's what you're trying to do, make sure to subscribe to the podcast, but also check out today's newsletter.
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:17.360
We're gonna be recapping the highlights from today's show, as well as giving you the 101 of everything you need to know that's going on in AI world.
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.159
All right, so let's get straight into it.
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:25.199
A lot to cover today in our Friday features segment.
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:32.560
Uh, first, a new contender in the Vibe Design Arena, and it's from Replit.
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:48.639
So Replit launched their Replit design, and here's what's new it is a full creative suite that's replacing Canvas, uh, where the tool keeps offering you design variations as you work instead of waiting to be prompted.
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:50.800
So it is directly built in.
00:02:50.879 --> 00:03:01.919
Uh, sorry, uh Mobin is directly built in, which is a reference library of 600,000 real app screens that normally require its own paid subscription.
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:06.960
So you can upload a design system once and everything you make just snaps to your brand.
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:21.520
So this is uh if you have a paid Replit account, uh, you don't have to pay anything extra, and it's actually free for every user with no tier gate announced, which is kind of unusual for something this model heavy right now.
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:26.560
Also, that mobbin access requires no separate account and no additional costs.
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:30.879
So here's kind of why it matters and who should care.
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:35.360
Well, I mean, I think the target here is kind of the handoff, not like the drawing.
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:47.120
So Replit is better at you know, is they're kind of betting that the export and rebuild step between design and engineering kind of disappears, and that's a direct shot at where Figma sits in the workflow.
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.800
So they're just giving away also a paid reference library for free.
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:52.400
That's a distribution play.
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:56.800
Um, and the the quieter implication here, though, is the org design.
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:04.879
So, like when a project manager can produce something that's publishable, the question of who makes the first version stops being so obvious.
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:06.080
So, who should care?
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:09.840
Well, founders, project managers who are shipping without a designer on staff.
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:11.039
This is big, right?
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:17.279
So I I do think, at least for Replit, this is one of the bigger uh missing pieces, right?
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:25.120
Obviously, Replit is kind of a full stack vibe uh coding app, uh, but the design piece left something to be desired.
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:31.439
A lot of times you had to use uh a separate uh you know project uh product and bring it all into Replit.
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:35.439
So here is what Replit says about the new Replit design.
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:42.560
They said today we're launching Replit Design, a new creative suite where anyone can shape what they see as fast as they can think.
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.160
Replit design is the fastest way to go from idea to design.
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.000
Ambient intelligence guides and inspires you at every step.
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:58.000
And because everything lives on Replit, there are no handoffs, exports, or rebuilds that cause you to lose the beauty of what you created.
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:02.160
You don't need to be a designer, you just need to know what you want to bring to life.
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:10.399
Create with your choice of the world's leading models for design, including Claude, GPT-5, Gemini, Kimmy, and GLM.
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:24.000
Uh, so I do hope that something like this becomes the status quo um in Claude Codecs, everything else, because it's actually really cool.
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:41.600
Um, so a lot of times, right, the way I like to start kind of vibe uh projects is first I find inspiration, um, and then I'll usually upload that inspiration uh into either Claude Design or um I love uh Google's um Stitch.
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.439
My gosh, like I I I speak so much AI and use so many.
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:49.040
Uh yeah, is it Stitch or is it now I'm gonna have to look it up?
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:52.160
Uh it's like, oh, I only use this like all the time.
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.959
Yeah, Google Stitch, uh absolutely fantastic.
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:56.160
Love Google Stitch.
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:59.040
Um, you know, it just kind of gives you entire mock-ups.
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.360
Um in, you know, it's powered by Nano Banana.
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:05.920
And I also use GPT image um uh two, uh so images too.
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:10.000
So I usually start and it's is usually kind of a multi-step process for me.
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:22.720
Um so if you all if you are already a heavy replit user and you just haven't liked the visuals of what you've been able to get with Replit, I think the new Replit design is obviously a no-brainer.
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:24.639
It's obviously not an additional cost.
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:30.879
Um, you know, with the mob and library, uh, it's it's it's a pretty good kind of no-brainer setup.
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:31.680
All right.
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:40.160
Our next one, a small one for chat GPT, but at least for me, I'm like, okay, I'm gonna be using this all the time.
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:45.040
So this is an update to the Chat GPT Chrome extension.
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:49.920
So the Chrome extension now answers questions about any YouTube video, right?
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:56.560
That's one thing I obviously do uh a lot of is watching YouTube videos in 2x or in 2.5x.
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.199
I get a Chrome extension to make it go even faster.
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:00.480
Uh so that's great.
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:10.720
Uh, you know, that's one of the main reasons that I would still use the Ask Gemini uh tab inside of Google Chrome is just to uh quickly recap YouTube videos.
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:16.160
So that is now in the ChatGPT Chrome extension, which is new, right?
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.040
It's is completely new as of like three weeks ago.
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:28.160
Um, also you have the um opportunity to now mention open tabs or pull highlighted text straight into the side chat.
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:36.879
So if you don't, if you kind of missed the uh the new chat GPT Chrome extension, uh it's really good.
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:45.680
So the new version of this came out um kind of alongside GPT 5.6 and uh ChatGPT work, kind of the super app.
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:52.240
But uh essentially, and what I love is it's completely different than the old ChatGPT Chrome extension.
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:55.199
Uh it has all of your conversations that are there.
00:07:55.360 --> 00:08:03.839
So that's something I love, even though I am using the built-in browser um a ton in you know chat GPT workslash codecs.
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:08.480
Um, it's actually usually pretty busy, if that makes sense.
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:18.560
Like I sometimes have like dozens or hundreds of automations a week that are using the browser inside of ChatGPT workslash codex.
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:24.800
So sometimes because of that, and I'm like, okay, I'm really just straight up abusing Codecs ChatGPT.
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:26.800
I'll still use Chrome for that reason, right?
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:28.480
It's like I don't want to throw anything off.
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:33.840
I'm just gonna let, you know, essentially my agents, that's their browser, and I still use Chrome a lot.
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:38.399
So uh I do love the new ChatGPT extension, and these new features are really cool.
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:45.679
So ChatGPT can obviously search your browsing history so you can ask it to find the page that you read Tuesday instead of hunting for it.
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.000
Um, so who has access to this right now?
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:58.799
So any desktop app users who are obviously you know have the most up-to-date build, uh, but the tab and YouTube features do require the Chrome extension specifically.
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:02.480
So uh there's no plan tier restrictions for these.
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:06.159
So uh yeah, you don't even have to be on a certain paid plan.
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:07.840
Uh so why does this matter?
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:16.080
Well, I think this is the uh kind of the assistant moving from a place you go to a layer that sits on top of what you're already doing.
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.200
Um, so it's a different product category than a chatbot.
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:20.799
Even for someone like me, right?
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.720
Uh my codex is open at all times.
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.080
Um, I love the new Chrome extension, right?
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:35.200
Even just being able to watch in real time, like, hey, what is my uh, you know, where is my codex?
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:42.639
This thread I'm at that's maybe an important thread that I'm watching, to just be able to click a button and see it without having to change, right?
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:50.240
Especially when I'm on my laptop, um, you know, without having to, you know, kind of switch the flow of where I'm at, I think it's actually super helpful.
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:52.639
So who is this gonna impact?
00:09:52.799 --> 00:10:01.759
Well, I think anyone whose research happens across 20 tabs, and you know, especially if you're watching watching long form video, uh, those kind of things.
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:12.480
So anyone that's a researcher, if you're a student or if you're just doing heavy knowledge work uh inside Chrome, um, it's it's gonna be something that I think is gonna be extremely helpful.
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:17.679
Um so let's get to our next AI update.
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:28.399
And well, this is Meta, and Meta is making that shift slowly but surely uh from an AI chatbot to, well, something a little bit more agentic.
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:34.000
So here is what is new uh with Meta's new AI tasks.
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:45.600
So Meta AI now runs recurring tasks and daily briefings instead of just answering questions or pulling uh from your calendar to flag conflicts and also summarize what's coming.
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:53.759
So you can set something up once, like a weekly plan or uh a restock alert or whatever, and it's just gonna run without prompting.
00:10:53.919 --> 00:11:02.559
So this is driven by the new Muse Spark 1.1 uh that is meta's uh agentic model built for tool use essentially.
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:04.799
So who has access to this right now?
00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:08.559
Uh well, it's in select markets only, so this isn't a global rollout.
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:13.279
Um, and it is just in the meta AI app and at meta.ai.
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:17.840
So yeah, this isn't where, you know, in all the other platforms, right?
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.159
WhatsApp, uh Instagram, all that stuff.
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:23.600
So why does it matter and who's gonna use it?
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:30.320
Uh well, Meta has spent a year like telling everyone it wasn't gonna chase productivity tools, but it just kind of did.
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:31.120
Um, right.
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:37.759
But I think ultimately, uh, you know, Meta realized that this is what people want, uh, right?
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:41.600
People want uh to be able to set it and forget it, right?
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:44.960
They want agentic scheduling, uh, right.
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.720
This is for me one thing I do every single day, right?
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.080
I'm always looking to get things on a routine or a schedule.
00:11:52.159 --> 00:12:00.080
Uh, literally, like my first thing I do is well, I check my overnight runs, you know, when I have my agents working third shift.
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:02.159
Um, so that's what I do in the morning.
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:07.759
Um, and then at least recently, right, I'm using ChatGPT voice and getting outside more, right?
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.840
Like the weather's nice that right now in Chicago.
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:15.759
So taking like more walks in the morning and just going through all my threads and making decisions right there with ChatGPT voice.
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:22.159
But for the most part, if I'm not um, if I'm prompting, I usually think there's a problem, right?
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:31.840
So if I am prompting, well, after I prompt, and you know, if I'm calling on multiple skills or whatever, you know, I'm usually going to turn that into a skill or a plug-in and then schedule that.
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:38.559
So it is good to see Meta here uh, you know, finally offering something in terms of scheduling.
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:48.320
So um Meta's actual asset is you know, it's personal context that nobody else has, um, you know, mainly your social graft.
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:51.759
Um, so that's ultimately, I think, what's gonna be their moat.
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:55.200
Um, and I think, you know, and who's gonna use Meta AI?
00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:56.480
I'm not sure.
00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:57.600
Um, right.
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:05.840
Even when they, you know, came out with a new model and had it for free and all these features, it's like, okay, I go in there and they're like fine, they're okay.
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:08.080
Um, but even, I mean, I don't know.
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:17.200
Uh, just with the amount of uh free uh that you get from Chat GPT, uh, you know, everyone else is cutting the subsidies a little bit, right?
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:21.200
Google used to be very generous, not as generous anymore, but still, I don't know.
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:29.039
If you have a paid subscription, I don't think you really necessarily need to use the new meta AI, but let's at least uh talk about what's new.
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:34.320
So here's what they said: you've been using meta AI to find answers, think through ideas and create content.
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:36.879
Now it can go further and actually get things done for you.
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:43.919
Meta AI can now make plans, follow through on next steps, and keep you on track without needing to be reminded or reprompted.
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:57.039
Tell Meta tell Meta AI you're renovating your kitchen and it will learn your style, scout marketplace for furniture and fixtures that fit your budget, and send you a mood board so you can see how it all comes together.
00:13:57.279 --> 00:14:13.279
Ask it to help you build a running plan for your first half marathon and it will create a week-by-week training schedule, adjust for your availability, and share your plan for the week every Monday morning, or ask it to plan a birthday dinner and it will find restaurants, check your calendar for night that works, and suggest options.
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:14.639
All right, so pretty cool.
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:15.759
Am I gonna use it?
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:16.320
No.
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:23.120
Uh, but I don't know if you're a heavy uh Facebook user or if you don't have any paid subscriptions, maybe, right?
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:26.159
The new Muse Spark 1.1 is actually a really good model.
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:35.600
Um, and if you are, I don't know, maybe you're you know, you work in social media marketing, advertising, so you're always using the meta platforms, then it might make sense.
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:37.120
All right, next.
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:39.600
Yeah, now we're getting into the Google portion.
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:42.240
Uh, three straight Google updates for everyone.
00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:47.759
So the first, a big Gemini, uh Google Gemini in docs glow up.
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:58.240
So Gemini can now generate and edit images, diagrams, and infographics inside of Google Docs using what you've written as context.
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:09.840
So it also works your comment uh threads, summarizing them, drafting replies, leaving new comments for you, and rewriting sections based on review or feedback.
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:12.720
Uh so who has access to this right now?
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:14.240
Well, you have to be on a paid plan.
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:23.440
So either a uh work uh workspace plan, standard or plus, or just an individual, you know, plus or AI Pro Ultra plan.
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:30.320
So image generation, though, is web only, and the comment features require edit access to the document.
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:36.080
Uh, the rollout is gradual, although it is already starting to roll out to those tiers.
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:39.279
So um, why does it matter and who should care?
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:45.679
Well, this is like the boring productivity win that actually produces ROI, right?
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:51.840
Drafting was never really the bottleneck in document work, especially when we have like AI everywhere.
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:57.200
It was more of like the review cycle and you know, those 40 unresolved comments, right?
00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:59.360
That's where the project sometimes stalls.
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:06.960
So it's good to see that uh, you know, Gemini is starting to, you know, infuse more of its AI into Google Docs.
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:13.600
I would say, um, you know, of all the Google products, I'm very heavy in docs and sheets.
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:20.480
Um, so I do think Sheets has been a little bit more ahead of the game in terms of how they've worked Gemini into the fold.
00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:22.879
I think Google Docs has been a little bit behind.
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:27.360
So this is pretty uh, you know, a pretty good uh update in my mind.
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:28.639
So who should care?
00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:29.600
Who's gonna use this?
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:40.320
Well, I mean, uh, especially if you are a heavy uh Google Docs organization, leaving a lot of comments, going through working with multiple versions of documents, that's gonna be good.
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:46.720
Um, but I I think one thing that could be good is people who are still just writing old school blog posts, right?
00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:52.720
And maybe you need visuals, uh, you know, working in nano banana into Google Docs, uh, that's pretty nice, right?
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:56.720
There was a an AI tool I used to use a lot called Napkin, right?
00:16:56.799 --> 00:16:58.960
So it's kind of like what I think of, right?
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:05.279
Where you can put in a bunch of text and you know make some visuals and um charts and graphics, right?
00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:09.039
So you can obviously do that with Google's nano banana, but also images as well.
00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:18.160
So, you know, I think if you um you know you know really are comfortable in the Google Docs interface and you do need some of those other features.
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:21.759
Well, now you don't have to do a bunch of copying and pasting and context switching.
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:24.079
You can just get it all done in Google Docs.
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:37.920
All right, next, staying on the Google train, choo choo, uh, we have their new uh always on 24/7 agent Google Gemini Spark is now in Chrome.
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:43.680
So Google's always on Cloud Agent Spark now plugs into desktop Chrome.
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:48.880
And if you do give it permission, it can use your logged in accounts and saved passwords.
00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:51.279
And that's the big thing right there, right?
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:53.039
Like that's one reason for me.
00:17:53.200 --> 00:18:09.359
Um, I absolutely love the new codex slash chat GPT work update because it does integrate all your Chrome passwords, and that's huge in terms of what you can actually actually accomplish um with an agentic browser or an agent that uses a browser, right?
00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:28.079
Um, because if you're you know, your first go-to is always going to be using a direct integration uh or an MCP, but you know, so many things, at least that I use, don't have a direct integration into you know, Claude Code or um Chat GPT, and a lot of them don't even have an MCP.
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:36.240
So then it's well, give the agent your credentials if you trust them and if you're allowed to, and we'll have it do the work for you.
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:39.519
Uh so that's a pretty big update there from Google.
00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:40.720
So let's just talk.
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:44.799
Uh, this is from their uh their page.
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:54.079
Uh so they say today we are expanding Gemini Spark to more users around the world and adding a new feature to help you handle complex web errands.
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:55.839
Here's a look at what's new.
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:59.759
So they say handle web errands with Chrome Auto Browse.
00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:06.400
So they say we're taking Spark's web browsing capabilities even further by integrating directly with Chrome.
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:20.160
Now, with your permission, Spark can use your logged in accounts and saved passwords to handle tedious web errands like scheduling viewings for apartments, your uh saved or researching flight options and starting the booking process.
00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:30.160
This is all done while protecting against threats like prompt injections and keeping you in the loop on sensitive actions such as payments by handling by handing the task back to you.
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:36.480
These capabilities are initially rolling out in the US with plans to expand to additional regions in the future.
00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:37.440
So there you go.
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.680
So right now it is starting in the US with paid plans.
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:50.240
So yeah, if you're a heavy um Chrome user and you have a lot of repetitive tasks, I don't know why.
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:53.680
Uh, right, it all the big companies do this, right?
00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:55.039
People always show the demo.
00:19:55.119 --> 00:20:00.480
It's like, oh, you know, adding things to your Instacart app or you know, booking tickets.
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:01.200
I don't know.
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:10.079
For me, for those things that are ultimately requiring a transaction, I don't necessarily want to go agent on those, right?
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:14.000
At least not to the point of adding my cart, maybe find me the five best trips.
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:15.279
Sure, that's fine.
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:31.119
Um, but I don't know for me, like I think it'd be really cool if all the companies would stop using uh you know personal errands, um, because this is actually a big, big step forward uh for Gemini uh in Chrome and the Spark agent.
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:34.720
And like we talked about, I think it was either last week or the week before, right?
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:39.279
So the Spark agent is now here, uh, right, which is really cool.
00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:41.519
So before it was only on the Ultra Plan.
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:55.359
So now if you have a paid uh Google Gemini plan, well, you have Gemini Spark, which is you know essentially their version of like an open claw um or like a you know just an agent that lives in the browser, right?
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:57.599
It's browser-based, not desktop based.
00:20:57.680 --> 00:20:58.799
Um, but I don't know.
00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:04.079
For me, I would have liked to see some uh more examples and use cases on using this for work.
00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:10.160
But anyone that's drowning in scheduling, booking, uh comparison work, right?
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:16.640
If you're in security or IT, uh you know, anyone comparing agentic browsers, also, right?
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:21.839
Like if you are a heavy Chrome user, or maybe you can only use Chrome, right?
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:26.880
This is a great way to marry um, you know, your Google data because that's the other thing.
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:34.480
It can access and understand anything in your Google Drive, your Gmail, et cetera, and then use all of that information on the web, right?
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:37.680
So, yeah, things like filling out uh forms, right?
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:44.720
That's something I would love to use something like this for, and especially having it directly connected uh to all your Google data.
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:49.440
All right, our last Google one is Liria three.
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:54.559
So this is Google's new AI um music maker.
00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:59.680
So yeah, if you know like Suno or Yu Dio, uh Liria now 3.
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:03.200
Is out in new from Google.
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:14.079
So this is Google DeepMind's newest music model with what they say is better melodies, lyrics that follow the prompt, more expressive vocals, and direct control over tempo and length.
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:20.480
So vocal delivery is the specific target, which has been the thing that kind of gives AI music away.
00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:21.680
So who has access?
00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:22.400
Why does it matter?
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:23.119
Who should care?
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:26.160
Well, it's available in Flow Music.
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:26.799
All right.
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:30.880
So uh I think I hope eventually they'll bring this to Gemini.
00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:38.480
Um, you know, it previously when they rolled out, I think uh Liria 3, it was available in Gemini uh on launch day.
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:43.680
So this time it's not, it's only in Google Flow Music, which is actually a really cool program.
00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:46.720
It's kind of like a vibe music, right?
00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:52.079
You just kind of chat with the chat bot and you can make iterative edits, which is really cool.
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:54.960
Um, so it's available in Flow Music.
00:22:55.039 --> 00:23:05.359
Uh, you do have to have a paid uh Gemini account to use it right now, and then also uh it has commercial use rights that ride on those paid tiers.
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:11.599
So uh Google says it does not claim ownership of the original content that you generate.
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:24.799
So the story here is licensing, not necessarily audio quality, because Suno and Yu-Gi-Oh are both in active Sony music litigation and Google trains, uh they say on licensed data.
00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:30.559
Uh so this is the third, though, meaningful Liria release in like six months.
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:38.000
Um, that tells you that Google is treating AI music as an actual product line, not just you know, something they're toying around with.
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:39.839
Um, so who should care?
00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:44.319
I mean, if you're a video team, a podcaster, right?
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:47.599
A creative, uh, you know, marketer, advertiser.
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:53.039
The the cool thing is that I didn't know is well, the songs are like three minutes, uh, right.
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:57.039
And the songs are actually pretty, yeah.
00:23:57.119 --> 00:23:58.480
Okay, I won't say good.
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:04.240
The lyrics aren't good, all right, but you can, you know, use a different program to to bring the lyrics.
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:12.079
Um, before I started recording here, I I tried, I don't know, five, six, seven songs, and like the cohesion was great, right?
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:19.920
I was having it blend like two extremely different music genres, and I'm like, okay, it actually did a really good job, right?
00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:26.240
And the vocals were um on beat, they were on point, even when I was throwing in these mixed genres.
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:34.079
But sometimes I won't say the lyrics were nonsensical, but the lyrics were just lyrics, right?
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:37.119
Um, and I think Suno does a much better job.
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:44.240
Like I said, obviously, for any AI music platform, you can provide your own lyrics, but a lot of times you don't necessarily want to.
00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:48.240
Um, you know, with a little bit of prompting, they get a little bit better, but I don't know.
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:55.839
To me, the lyrics were still just kind of um slop um or slop-ish, right?
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:58.880
Better than they were, uh, but still not great.
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:00.720
Although they sound really good, right?
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:05.839
Like the different, you know, I tried out all kinds of different genres, like it sounds like good music.
00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:10.400
And then when you listen to the lyrics, you're like, this is a little sloppy.
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:22.400
Uh, but overall, uh, if you want to do your own lyrics and if for whatever reason you need uh, you know, audio uh music generated for something, uh, pretty, pretty good to check out.
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:28.559
All right, last but not least, and this is one aside from like mentioning it once in our newsletter.
00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:33.599
I haven't talked about this, and I've actually been enjoying uh kind of toying around with this.
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:42.480
It hasn't, at least for me, gotten uh, I don't think production ready yet, but it very well could be just because the company that's behind it.
00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:44.079
So here's what's next.
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:50.079
This is Buzz from Block, uh, the parent company uh for Square.
00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:58.480
So this is kind of like a Slack lookalike that's built for teams to essentially talk with agents from any provider.
00:25:58.640 --> 00:25:59.039
All right.
00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:03.039
So yeah, you can bring your whole team in, both all your humans.
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:10.559
So it is like Slack, it has channels and at mentioning and all those things, but essentially you can bring all your different agents in too.
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:21.519
And then you can, you know, like as an example, you know, just like you would on Slack or Microsoft Teams, you can, you know, put in, you know, you can bring in your skills, which is really cool.
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:34.480
And then you can, you know, have, you know, as an example, codecs start on one thing, hand it off to Claude, they go through, then they hand it off to, I don't know, an open source model, have them work, collaborate, talk amongst themselves.
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:38.400
So the thing here it's really nice.
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:41.039
I don't know if I'll actually use it.
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:42.319
And here's why.
00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:48.240
Maybe it's more of like I've spent so much time getting this very thing set up in Codex, right?
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:56.000
I use like I've created bridges, you know, from Codex to Claude and vice versa to other, you know, other model providers.
00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:03.759
Um, so at least for me, I'm usually working with multiple model providers in Codex or Cloud Code.
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:08.559
Um, but I mean, I still have been having fun experimenting uh with Buzz.
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:09.759
It is an open source project.
00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:21.039
So uh it is, you know, every participant, whether it's a human or an agent, they get their own cryptographic identity, which means that every message, code change, and approval kind of leaves a signed trail.
00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:28.079
So agents join as members with scoped permissions, so that's important, not as bots like waiting on a slash command.
00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:32.480
So it's free and open source under uh Apache 2.0.
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:39.440
So you can use blocks uh hosted version, you can download the desktop app, or you can self-host it entirely.
00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:45.359
Uh, I do believe they also just came out um with an iOS version and an Android version.
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:53.839
So there's mobile support and uh out of the box, it works well uh with Claude Code, Codecs, and uh Blocks agent as well.
00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:59.039
But there's different ways I think you can use like through open router that essentially you can bring any model in.
00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:10.720
So I think this is like an answer to kind of not an answer, but a potential answer to agent governance um for smaller teams at the infrastructure layer rather than at the policy layer.
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:21.440
And like that distinction's kind of like the whole point, um, because most companies can't just tell you which actions in their logs came from a person and which ones came from an agent.
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:25.279
So this one is kind of like leaving that agentic agent trail, right?
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:29.680
It's leaving saying, hey, these agents did this, the human said this, right?
00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:49.200
So obviously, if you're using like Microsoft Copilot, I think they're actually kind of uh a leader in the space in terms of that um uh kind of large teams working with a lot of uh co-pilots and being able to trace, uh, you know, whether it's through intra ID or something else, being able to trace every single thing.
00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:52.559
Um, I think some of the other players have a little bit more to keep up on.
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:58.559
So it's nice that a new open source platform like that has that built in and as a core feature.
00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:02.720
So uh here is uh what Buzz says.
00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:05.839
Uh so uh technically Block says about Buzz.
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:14.640
So Block said today we're releasing Buzz, a free open source collaboration platform where humans and AI agents work together in a shared workspace.
00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:17.599
It's available now at Buzz.xyz.
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:22.319
Over the past two years, we've built and open sourced a series of AI tools at Block.
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:27.839
Through all of it, we've come to the realization that the most productive work doesn't happen when someone asks AI for help.
00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:33.680
It happens when humans and agents are in the same room working on the same thing with shared context.
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:38.160
There was no platform design for that, so we built one.
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:53.359
Um, so it's I think, right, it's open source if you already have like someone like me or larger teams that they're generally using a lot of different subscriptions uh and you have different skills or preferences of using certain models for certain purposes.
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:57.839
I think it is worth exploring to see if it can maybe be a stopgap.
00:29:58.079 --> 00:30:05.759
I think eventually, um, I think we're gonna see this type of um interaction probably in codex first.
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:18.480
And I would assume that when Microsoft comes out with their super app, which would be uh, you know, any day, any week now, I uh I would think that uh Microsoft will eventually have some collaborative features.
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:22.000
Um, I would say the same thing, obviously, for Claude and Gemini.
00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:28.400
So I don't think this is like where you're, you know, you should throw away your current harness or anything like that.
00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:40.400
But for smaller teams or for project sprints that you know that you're gonna have to work with multiple teams or multiple team members that are using different harnesses, different models, it actually might be good for instances like that.
00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:41.759
Scope it out first.
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:44.880
This is brand new, but it looks promising so far.
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:47.519
Like I said, for me, I don't think I'll be using it.
00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:52.000
We're a small team, um, and I'm so codex pilled, right?
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:56.640
And you know, I like I said, I've built the bridge from Codex to Claude and Claude to Codex.
00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:08.079
Um, so I don't necessarily, aside from like being like, oh, this is fun, this is cool, I don't necessarily have a good use case for it, but I think for uh many of you out there, it's gonna be something definitely worth looking at.
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:13.839
All right, that is a wrap for the seven new AI features you need to know.
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:15.359
So a quick update.
00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:19.519
Replit design is out, it looks really nice.
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:30.799
Uh, chat GPT desktop and Chrome extension updates, allowing you to uh summarize YouTube videos or mention at mention uh other tabs and pull info from there.
00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:40.559
Um Meta shifting from just an AI chatbot with Muse Spark 1.1 to just schedule a genetic model that gets work done for you.
00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:54.880
Uh Google with a ton of new updates, uh, some new updates with Gemini in Google Docs, um, their new uh Gemini Spark integration in Google Chrome and the updated Liria 3.5 uh model.
00:31:55.680 --> 00:32:00.079
And then uh last but not least, we just have Buzz from Block.
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:08.799
A good way for uh you and your team to talk to many different agents and I don't know, just have them fight it out and watch it and eat popcorn and have fun.
00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:10.160
All right, that's a wrap, y'all.
00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:14.559
So uh if this was helpful, yeah, we do these kind of themed shows a couple of times a week.
00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:16.319
On Friday, we bring you Friday features.
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:19.680
These are things, AI tools and updates you can actually use now.
00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:21.759
On Monday, we go over the AI news, y'all.
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:25.599
I'm telling you, this week was crazy in AI news, right?
00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:33.440
Not just like, you know, it wasn't necessarily about model releases, it was about agents going loose, you know, laws, regulations, nuts.
00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:40.559
And then on Wednesdays, we do hands-on demos called uh putting AI to work on Wednesdays, and Tuesdays and Thursdays, we rotate our shows.
00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:41.839
So I hope this is helpful.
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:43.599
If it was, please do me a favor.
00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:45.519
It takes you like 10 seconds.
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:51.200
Uh, make sure to subscribe or follow uh the podcasts on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:53.839
Then go to your everydayai.com.
00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:54.880
Thanks for tuning in.
00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:58.079
We'll see you back next week and every day for more everyday AI.
00:32:58.160 --> 00:32:59.119
Thanks, y'all.
