Gemini + Veo 3 + Arcads this ai workflow is insane for ads: > takes any video > describes what happens scene by scenes > recreates the scenes in Arcads comment arcads, and I'll tell you how to do this

On Monday I captured 225,000 photos of the moon to create this 500 gigabyte composite showing more detail and color depth than usually possible through a telescope. Here's a thread about how it was captured, but make sure to load in 4k and zoom in first!

I’m rarely mindblown by AI anymore, but OMG! 🤯

Something seismic is happening across the globe: birth rates are collapsing to levels not seen in modern history. This isn’t just a blip-it's a profound shift affecting nearly every developed nation. But why is this happening, and what does it mean? Let’s break it down:

Why I’m building AI agents for the recruitment of hourly workers

The GregFather has spoken

@gregisenberg These are great Greg. Just booted up my laptop at midnight to work on some rebranding ideas for my company based off your poster boy idea

Your timeline is filled with Ghibli selfies made with ChatGPT 4o. What you're NOT seeing is how to use 4o tech to build startups that generate INSANE value. Scroll these 20 startup ideas from $10K to $1M monthly revenue that someone should steal: 1. ai poster boy - turn customer reviews, tweets, or product screenshots into high-design ad creatives, mockups, and print-style posters. $19/mo. Unfair angle: hook into Stripe/Squarespace and auto-generate ads from new customer events. 2. CPGartists - product companies describe their packaging needs, get multiple 3D mockups to test with focus groups before production. $99/design set. Saves thousands in physical prototyping costs. 3. mockupOS - simple tool where you upload your product image, then select from thousands of pre-made mockup templates (phone screens, laptops, billboards, etc.), and get an instant professional-looking result. $10/mo for creators, $200/mo for agencies. All the mockup processing happens through ChatGPT 4o in the backend. 4.identity kit - Upload a selfie. It creates a full identity set: LinkedIn pfp, Twitter banner, Zoom bg, business card mockup, quote graphics, etc. Basically your personal brand in a box. $59 one-time. Bundle with domain + bio. 5. competitoranalysisHQ - Point it at competitor websites, it generates detailed breakdowns of their visual identity, UI patterns, and design language with side-by-side comparisons to your own. $49/report. The work of a $15K agency project automated. 6. visionboard ai - Describe your 1-year plan - "launch my product, speak at an event, lose 10lbs"—and it builds a visual collage of you achieving each one. $29 for a set. Reminders for motivation to keep going for $50/year. Designed for creators and founders who believe in manifesting with taste. 7. Obituary Photo Restorer dot ai - Funeral homes upload old, damaged photos and get back beautifully restored, enhanced images for memorial services. $39/photo. Brings dignity to remembrance without the usual 3-day turnaround time. 8. plastic ai - Plastic surgeons upload patient photos and procedure details, get realistic outcome previews for consultations. $199/month. Better patient experience by setting realistic expectations. #1-8 are "small" $10-50K/month potential. Let's move onto medium ideas: Medium ($100-500K/month potential) 9. product viz - Describe a product idea → get the landing page hero image, app mockup, onboarding flow, and launch tweet. The full visual stack, no designer needed. $99 for startup pack. 10. BookScientists - Authors describe their book and target audience, receive multiple professional cover designs. $199/book. Then does paid ads (using agents to a/b test covers). Cheaper and more scientific with more data than just blindly choosing a cover. Eventually sell software to book publishers. 11. Airbnb Photo Enhancer - Property owners upload their amateur listing photos, get back professional-quality images that boost booking rates. $79/property. Targets the 7M+ Airbnb hosts worldwide. Eventually turns into a bigger software company targeting hosts. 12. homepage hotseat - Upload a screenshot of your site. It critiques the visuals like a jaded ex-agency CD. Then gives a redesigned version powered by 4o. $39 one-time, $15/mo for ongoing feedback. Virality built in: "rate my homepage" challenge. 13. kidstoriesAI - Parents upload photos of their child, describe an adventure, and receive a fully illustrated custom book with their kid as the protagonist. $49/book. Turns the $14B children's book market into a personalized experience. 14. coolmenus - Restaurant owners generate beautiful food photos from text descriptions of dishes they haven't even cooked yet. $79/mo. Solves the "new menu item" problem without expensive food photography. 15. newlaynards - upload spreadsheet of attendee names, choose aesthetic, and generate personalized conference badges with AI-generated professional headshots for no-shows. $0.99/badge. Solves the "missing headshot" problem that plagues event planners. 16. renoviews - homeowners upload photos of current spaces and describe changes to instantly see realistic previews of renovations. $149/project. Eliminates the "I can't visualize it" problem that kills renovation projects. 17. LegalEvidence dot ai - Law firms upload case details, it generates compelling visual representations of events for juries. $999/case. Makes complex situations immediately understandable in ways text cannot. Large ($1M+/month potential) 18. ICA (Insurance Claim Adjuster) - Process accident photos and generate comprehensive damage assessments in seconds. $99/claim. The $400B claims industry moves at the speed of human adjusters - automate it and take a mini %. 19. Supervideogames - Create a platform that turns concept art into complete 3D game-ready assets. $50K/month license. The game industry spends billions on asset creation that could be 80% automated. and #20 is maybe the best idea...? 20. ComplianceCopilot - Point it at your internal documents, processes, or onboarding materials → get a real-time audit for GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA, or ISO compliance. $1,000+/mo for SMBs. Enterprise upsell to compliance teams drowning in manual checklists. Use 4o's vision + reasoning to read like an auditor, not a chatbot. I think the real money is in solving specific industry problems where visuals create measurable ROI. and yeah i know the API isnt available yet. But I'm sure its coming soon. And it's worth looking into Gemini too. These are just a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing. I won't stop giving you ideas until you build something. I want to see you win. We'll have a drink sometime. Share these ideas and you might find a co-founder or potential customers. Never know. Which one excites you? No way this windows last forever. It's a good time to be in the kitchen cooking.

@Oscar_C_M_ I love this so much

5 years ago 🤯

Job applications don’t give your candidates a proper chance. We fixed that with AI agents that phone them up, have a chat and report back

@Priyanshu_17x @jameygannon Let’s talk, I’ve got a product to hype

@jameygannon It's me! 🙋‍♂️

who is making all of these stunning product videos?!? feel like this is becoming standard in brand launches now, earlier and earlier

@Austen This is the most consistent frustration on my laptop atm

WHY DOES CLICKING THE X NOT CLOSE THIS

The same way mobile-first companies destroyed web-first companies (Instagram vs Flickr, WhatsApp vs Skype), there is becoming a new crop of AI-first companies that will destroy traditional software that just "adds AI features." Adding AI to old software is like adding a mobile view to a website in 2010. Companies built for mobile from the ground up won in that era. That's why I'm incredibly bullish on startups right now. Big tech can't just bolt AI onto existing products - their architecture, teams, and incentives are built for a different era. Some big tech will win, when they rearchitect. But there's too much legacy code, too many existing customers, and too much revenue to protect. Most will move too slowly. Meanwhile, startups can design everything around AI from day one. The playing field hasn't been this level in a decade. It fires me up.

What’s more curious is that fans claim ‘We won!’ And ‘They lost.’ People are subconsciously aware of association biases, distancing themselves from the negative and cosying up the positives

Really interesting innovation

@DanielLBailey Louis V got the store open late they’re waiting for me! 😂👏😂👏

DAY FF WHAT?! ARE YOU MAD?!

@haroonbinimran @codyschneiderxx I reckon so. But with it being B2B I’m just a little more hesitant

@ElanJames @codyschneiderxx Same here, do you think SaaS companies use ugc ad creatives like ecom stores do?

if i was 22 and needed to get $40k a month in 90 days i would start ai UGC creator ads agency $3000 a month you only need 13 clients service would be unlimited ads creative building testing and management reporting using looker studio client acquisition just post the vids on twixxxer with conversion you're getting clients and link to a form in the thread with CTA to use form if interested gl hf

@sam_umohh @codyschneiderxx Question is, where do I post UGC avatars from? My biz page? New accounts?

@ElanJames @codyschneiderxx Honestly man, I think it'll be worth a try. LinkedIn is pushing video content right now. Combine this with a crazy volume of Dms a day, should generate mad results.
