AI Tools

Two weeks ago, the biggest question in AI was “Claude or ChatGPT?” Now the biggest question is “will the government let either of them ship?” If you’ve been picking sides in the Anthropic-versus-OpenAI race, the race just got called on account of regulation — and the implications go way beyond which model is better. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. Six months ago, picking an AI tool felt like choosing sides in a rap beef. Anthropic or OpenAI? Claude or ChatGPT? Every thread on X was people arguing about which one was “better” like there was a single answer. I spent way too much time reading those threads instead of actually building things. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. Last week, I woke up to find the AI model powering my client automation had been pulled — not because it broke, but because the government decided it needed to review it first. If you’re using Claude, ChatGPT, or anything built on top of them, the same thing could happen to your tools. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. Two weeks ago, I was mid-project on a client deliverable when the model I was using vanished. Not a temporary outage — the government pulled it for review. The automation I’d built around that specific model stopped working. The client deadline didn’t care about regulatory politics. ...

I’ve been using Figma for two years to design blog graphics, social media posts, and simple UI mockups — and every Config conference, I watch the announcements thinking “that’s cool, but probably not for me.” This year was different. Figma’s Config 2026 just dropped features that actually matter if you’re a non-developer who works with visual content. Specifically: AI-generated motion graphics, shader effects you create by typing a sentence, and a plugin builder that requires zero code. If you’ve been curious about which AI design tools actually work, Figma just made the conversation a lot more interesting. ...

Everyone asks me “is the free plan actually enough?” and honestly, the official page doesn’t tell the whole story. I switched from Zapier to Make.com because the pricing was clearer, but it took me months of real-world use to understand the true cost. If you’re searching for the make pricing free plan official details for 2026, this is the unfiltered guide I wish I’d had. No fluff, just exactly what you get, when you hit the limits, and where your money’s best spent. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I spent two weeks testing every major AI agent framework so you don’t have to. Here’s what I found — and why the “best” framework depends entirely on what you’re actually trying to build. If you’ve been hearing names like LangGraph, CrewAI, OpenClaw, and Hermes thrown around and wondering which one matters for someone who doesn’t write code, you’re not alone. The agent space is moving fast, and most of the content out there is written by developers, for developers. This post is different. ...

General Intuition just raised another $320 million at a $2.3 billion valuation — less than a year after its initial $134M round — bringing total disclosed funding to $454 million. The company trains AI agents on billions of gameplay clips from Medal’s 10 million monthly users, using embedded action labels (button presses, timing) rather than video alone. Khosla Ventures led the latest round, with participation from Jeff Bezos, Eric Schmidt, and researchers from Google DeepMind and MIT. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I’ve been testing HeyGen’s different avatar tiers for months now — I covered the basics of making talking-head videos without a camera and my batch content workflow — and the single biggest question I get from readers is: “Should I use HeyGen Avatar 3 or spring for Avatar V?” The pricing gap between these two is significant, and HeyGen’s marketing doesn’t make the decision easy. So I ran the same ten scripts through both versions, compared them side-by-side on desktop and mobile, and even showed them to people who had no idea what HeyGen was. Here’s what actually matters. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I used to spend an entire Saturday filming four short videos. Setup the ring light, adjust the camera, re-record because I said “um” twice, edit out the awkward pauses, add captions. By the end, I was exhausted and had maybe two usable clips. If you’ve been there, HeyGen changes the math entirely — and I’m going to show you the batch workflow that lets me produce a full week of video content in about thirty minutes. ...
