Gemini 3 and Nano Banana Pro [00:00]

• Gemini 3 is highlighted as a top-tier chat model with advanced reasoning, research, and coding capabilities, available for free.
• Nano Banana Pro is presented as a leading AI model for image creation and editing, offering a limited number of free daily image generations.
• These two models alone are capable of impressive feats and have been extensively covered in prior videos.

  Gemini 3 is pretty much the best chat model out there right now with reasoning capabilities, research capabilities, insane coding abilities, and so much more.

Whisper Flow [01:08]

• Whisper Flow is an AI-powered speech-to-text tool designed to replace traditional typing and dictation.
• It accurately captures speech, even with mumbling, and applies perfect formatting and punctuation.
• The free version offers up to 2,000 words per week, significantly faster than manual typing for drafting emails and prompts.

  Standard dictation isn't always the best and often skips formatting and doesn't fix your mistakes.

Comet Browser [02:19]

• Comet Browser is positioned as an AI-integrated web browser aimed at reducing tab clutter and simplifying web interaction.
• It allows users to interact directly with web pages without switching tabs, offering on-page AI tools in its free version.
• The browser can summarize lengthy articles into bullet points using simple language and can even analyze multiple open tabs to find similar concepts across them.

  BUT COMET BROWSER is trying to fix that by baking AI directly into the browsing experience.

Notebook LM [03:55]

• Notebook LM is an AI tool designed for students and researchers to efficiently find information across long PDFs and multiple documents.
• Users can upload documents, and the AI becomes an expert solely on that provided material.
• The free version allows for multiple notebooks with numerous sources, and it provides step-by-step instructions and citations directly from the source material.
• A standout feature is the "audio overview," which transforms documents into a two-host podcast-style deep dive.

  It's still probably my favorite tool on this entire list right now.

Segment Anything 3 (SAM 3) [05:27]

• Segment Anything 3 (SAM 3) is a video and image AI model from Meta capable of automatically detecting, segmenting, and tracking objects in videos.
• Users can select objects to track, and SAM 3 will follow them throughout the video, applying various effects like contour, clone, blur background, or spotlight.
• The tool offers template-based and from-scratch creation options, allowing for customization of effects and styling.
• This technology can automate tasks that would typically take hours in traditional editing software and is slated for integration into Instagram Reels.

  SAM 3 makes it simple to turn everyday footage into something that feels cinematic.

Canva Magic Studio [08:11]

• Canva's Magic Studio introduces AI features to its popular design platform, making design accessible for those without extensive training.
• The free tier enables users to generate design templates from text prompts, including specifying aesthetics like "cyberpunk" with "neon colors."
• This AI feature can generate the majority of a design, saving significant time and effort in the creative process.

  So, if you're terrible at design like me, this one's for you.

Cling [09:30]

• Cling is an AI model for video generation that allows users to create short, 5-second video clips from text prompts or images.
• It offers a free tier with credits for generating these clips, with quality described as "scary good."
• The tool supports detailed prompts for cinematic shots, including specific actions, settings, and effects like slow motion and reflections.
• It can also animate still images, like generating a video of a character throwing an object with a background explosion.

  And the quality is getting scary good.

11 Labs [11:12]

• 11 Labs is a text-to-speech platform known for its highly realistic AI voices that incorporate breath, inflection, and emotion.
• The free tier provides 10,000 characters per month, suitable for shorter projects or content creation.
• Users can select pre-made voices or train the AI with their own voice, although the quality of custom training can vary.
• The AI voices are capable of sounding natural, making them suitable for faceless videos, presentations, or even personal enjoyment.

  The voices don't sound robotic. They actually have like a slight breath to them. There's inflection. There's emotion.

Sunno [12:40]

• Sunno is described as "ChatGPT for making songs," an AI platform for music generation that requires no musical expertise.
• The free tier offers 50 credits per day, sufficient for approximately 10 songs, allowing users to input descriptions or custom lyrics.
• The AI can generate songs with specific genres, instrumentation, vocal styles (e.g., male vocals with an early 2000s punk vibe), and themes.
• It structures songs with verses and choruses, producing catchy results in under a minute.

  Sunno is basically chat GPT for making songs.

Marble [14:08]

• Marble, from World Labs, is an AI tool for generating explorable 3D scenes from text prompts, representing a new frontier in AI content creation.
• The free beta allows users to generate a scene and then navigate within it using camera controls or VR headsets like Meta Quest.
• Prompts can describe detailed environments, such as a "cluttered cozy alchemist studio," and the AI generates the 3D geometry of the scene.
• This technology is seen as a precursor to the future of asset creation for games, films, and virtual environments.

  We're now moving from 2D images and videos into full 3D world generation by AI.
