Cursor — the AI code editor that’s already changing how people build software — released an SDK. And if you’re someone who’s never written a line of code, this matters more than you think. ...

It does things Claude won’t even try. That’s not hyperbole. Cursor released Composer 2.5 on May 18th, and independent benchmarks show it matches Claude Opus 4.7 — the top-tier paid model — at a fraction of the cost. But benchmarks are benchmarks. What actually matters is what happens when you use the thing every day for real work. I’ve been testing it across my automation projects, blog builds, and client workflows, and I need to tell you what I found. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I’ve been waiting for this. Not because AI video is new — tools like Runway and Sora have been around for a while — but because none of them let you just… talk to the video and watch it change. Until now. Google dropped Gemini Omni at I/O 2026 on May 19th, and it’s fundamentally different from every AI video tool I’ve tested. You don’t need a timeline. You don’t need to learn software. You describe what you want changed, and it changes it — while keeping your characters, lighting, and objects consistent across edits. ...

If you’re using ChatGPT for work — writing drafts, brainstorming, organizing ideas, building automations — your account contains more of your thinking than your email does. And most people protect it with nothing more than a password they’ve reused somewhere else. OpenAI just made it significantly harder for someone to break into your ChatGPT account. On April 30th, they launched a program called Advanced Account Security and partnered with Yubico, the company that makes those small physical security keys you may have seen tech people wear on their keychains. The setup takes about five minutes. Here’s exactly what it does and whether you should bother. ...

My friend held up a handwritten recipe card during a video call last week. “Can you read this? I can’t figure out my grandmother’s handwriting.” I took a screenshot, pasted it into ChatGPT, and typed “What does this say?” It transcribed the entire recipe in three seconds flat. She stared at me like I’d performed some kind of magic trick. That moment captures exactly what ChatGPT can do with images — it reads, describes, analyzes, and creates them right inside your chat window. No special software. No account upgrades. No learning curve. If you’ve been curious about AI but felt overwhelmed by the options, this is where I’d tell you to start. It’s free, it’s visual, and you’ll see results immediately. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I was copy-pasting the same “just checking in” email every three days — until I built a follow-up sequence in an afternoon that runs itself. Every three days, I’d open my inbox and paste the same message to a client who hadn’t replied. Twelve follow-up emails over two months. Every one manually written, manually tracked, manually sent. And I know I’m not the only one — the number one complaint I hear from solo business owners isn’t “I don’t have enough clients.” It’s “I keep losing the ones I almost had.” ...

Apple buried the ChatGPT integration. OpenAI feels burned. Now they might sue. Here’s what it means for your phone.

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. 🎧 Prefer to listen? The privacy problem nobody talks about Every article about AI privacy says the same thing. “Your data might be used to train models.” “Use enterprise versions for sensitive work.” “Turn off chat history.” ...

No dancer. No camera. No studio. Two AI tools. One prompt. Ten seconds of content. Here’s exactly how I did it — and the full prompt you can steal. ...

Then I found Cal.com — an open-source alternative that does everything Calendly does, plus more, for free. But that’s not the interesting part. The interesting part is the business model hiding inside this repo. White-label it. Sell it to professionals who’ll never find it themselves. $200/month per client. No coding required. ...
