Howdy Reader! Have you ever had your email inbox explode? Well, that's exactly what happened after last week's "Did OpenAI just kill Canva?" newsletter. (Stay tuned for more on that - I just was interviewed by the fabulous Kate Ahl from Simple Pin Media about this very topic!) But right now, I've got some HUGE news that could change how we all work as creators. Remember back in the day when we had to chunk up long text just to feed them into ChatGPT because it had a memory like a goldfish? Those days are officially over, my friend! Sam Altman and the OpenAI crew just dropped some updates that will affect you as a creator:
Here's the thing that's got me thinking - I mentioned last week that I upgraded to the $200 level to get my slides done for Social Media Marketing World. I was planning to cancel after this month, but these new features have me reconsidering. I mean, $200 a month for an AI assistant that knows your business inside and out? That's less than what we Texans spend on BBQ sauce! Quick heads up - while these updates are currently only available through their API if you're using Magai, you've already got access! (Dustin added it practically before OpenAI finished their announcement - which is why I love Magai so much!) Click here to check out Magai if you want to test-drive these new features. So what do you think? Are these AI upgrades exciting or terrifying? Things are moving at what Spaceballs would call "Ludicrous Speed!" Hit reply and let me know your thoughts. I read and reply to every email! See ya around the interwebs, -Jeff |

Howdy Reader! Ever stare at ChatGPT wondering if you're doing this whole AI thing wrong? Trust me, I've been there - spending way too many hours trying to make AI actually useful instead of just... interesting. That's precisely why I'm excited about this week's show. We'll explore practical AI workflows that actually work (no computer science degree required!). My good friend Ian Anderson Gray (AI consultant, speaker, and the guy who makes complex tech feel like child's play) is joining us to...
Howdy Reader! Remember when I told you something exciting was coming? Well, today I need YOUR help with a quick favor that'll shape the future of our show. Last week's special edition episode where we played with Midjourney's mind-bending video model got my creative engines revving. It sparked some ideas for our show's new look, and this is where you come in! I've got three logo concepts that I'm bouncing between, and I'd love your expert eye on this. After all, you're the one who's going to...
Howdy Reader! While everyone else is prepping their grills for the 4th of July, I'm over here getting explosive results with Midjourney's new animate button! I've got to tell you, this feature has completely transformed how I create AI videos. What used to take me hours of tweaking and editing can now be done with just a few clicks. Plus, it’s more fun than dropping a firecracker in the vent of a Johnny-on-the-spot at the fairgrounds (not that I ever did that!) And since we're all about...
