Plus, complete the quiz after signing up and they’ll recommend the best AI tools, guides, and courses – tailored to your needs.

Sure thing! Here's your colloquial, copywritten, conversational article that covers both stories in an easy-to-read, engaging, and scannable way—perfect for newsletters, blogs, or LinkedIn posts.

🎥 Midjourney Just Dropped Video Magic — And It’s Wildly Cheap

You know Midjourney, right? That AI image tool everyone’s been using to whip up trippy, artsy pictures on Discord? Well, guess what—they just leveled up.

Midjourney launched its first-ever video model. And yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like: now you can take your favorite AI image and turn it into a moving, breathing animation.

Here’s the lowdown:

  • You make an image in Midjourney (like usual)

  • Then? You hit the magical new “Animate” button

  • Boom—your image starts moving. Literally.

Each prompt gives you four short video clips, around 5 seconds each. If you're feeling fancy, you can even stretch them a bit longer.

👉 You’ve got two “motion modes”:

  1. Automatic: Midjourney decides how it moves

  2. Manual: You tell it exactly how to sway, spin, or shuffle

But here’s the part that’ll make your wallet sigh in relief—it’s shockingly affordable. Even though video takes about 8x more computing power than images, it’s still dirt cheap compared to other AI video tools. We’re talking 25x cheaper than earlier models on the market.

Basically, one second of video costs about the same as generating one image. Not bad for a tool that makes your art literally come alive.

Midjourney’s CEO, David Holz, called this move a step toward future 3D and real-time content. And honestly? It shows.

Of course, the usual drama still applies—yep, those pesky legal battles over whether AI art tools are stealing from real artists. But for now, it’s a creative playground that’s ridiculously fun to explore.

TL;DR:
AI video just got accessible for the masses. It’s fast, cheap, and weirdly addictive. Try it—just be ready to fall down the rabbit hole.

🎙️ ChatGPT Now Records Your Meetings—Bye-Bye, Boring Note-Taking

Raise your hand if you’ve ever sat through a meeting thinking, “Please, someone else take notes today.” 🙋‍♂️

Well, OpenAI heard your silent suffering. They just launched Record Mode in ChatGPT—and it’s basically your new robot assistant for meetings.

Here’s how it works:

  • Hit Record Mode

  • ChatGPT listens in (for up to 2 hours)

  • It auto-transcribes everything you say

  • Then it spits out a neat little summary with key points, action items, and even timestamps

No more scrambling for that “one thing we said 45 minutes ago.” It’s all right there.

👉 Some key details:

  • Only available (for now) on Mac desktop

  • Only for ChatGPT Team plans (aka businesses, schools, and power users)

  • Recordings are deleted after transcription—privacy matters here

  • Admins can turn the feature off if needed

  • And bonus? You can link transcripts to your Google Drive and other apps using new “connectors”

In short, ChatGPT just joined the likes of Otter.ai and Zoom’s built-in recorder, but with way more AI magic sprinkled on top. No, it’s not free—this one’s a paid feature. But honestly? It’s a glimpse of where chatbots are headed: straight into your day-to-day work life.

TL;DR:
Meetings now take notes for you. You just show up, talk, and let the bots handle the rest.
