Breaking News: ChatGPT Pulse — Your AI Just Clocked In Before You Woke Up

Wake up. ChatGPT’s already on it. With Pulse, your AI just became proactive. Instead of waiting for you to ask, it researches your world overnight—calendar, email, chat history—and delivers morning briefs you can actually use.

Here’s what’s wild:
✅ It gives you 5–10 visual update cards each morning—news, schedule notes, language tips, personalized suggestions.
✅ It taps into your chat, calendar, and linked apps (with permission).
✅ Privacy by design: it’s tailored to you, not used to train models for everyone else.
✅ And it ends—no endless scroll, no rabbit hole.

Why it matters: The shift isn’t incremental. This is a turning point—AI doesn’t wait for you anymore. It becomes the first thing you check. Being reactive? That’s yesterday’s game.

Stop Sleeping on Motion in AI Visuals

Here’s the truth—most people are sitting on gold inside Syllaby and don’t even know it.

Case in point: motion inside AI Visuals.

Those still images you’ve been generating? You can bring them to life with smooth pans, zooms, and transitions that turn static scenes into scroll-stoppers

👉 Open up AI Visuals today, flip on motion, and watch your videos go from “nice” to “no way I’m scrolling past this

Not Your Average Conference

A year ago, Scott Simson and I looked at the marketing conference scene and thought… this is broken.

Same format. Same hype. Same panels that go nowhere.

Meanwhile, AI is rewriting the rules of business, and too many people are stuck watching from the sidelines.

So we built something different.

AI Marketing World is 3 days where the energy actually builds every single day—and it all ends with one huge celebration.

Here’s what’s in the room:
- The best AI experts in the world giving you playbooks you can use the next morning
- Table Talks — sit down with pros, ask real questions, get real answers
- A live AI startup pitch competition across 3 days
- And yep—robot dogs and a humanoid robot you can test for yourself

📍 Hyatt Regency Frisco – Dallas
📅 October 9–11, 2025
🎟️ 2 weeks left to grab your ticket

This isn’t a “sit back and take notes” event. It’s where you show up, build real systems, and leave ready to move 10 steps ahead of everyone else.

This Week in AI — Vibes, Snap-Decks, and Smarter Threads

Meta Drops Vibes — AI TikTok, But Weird

Meta just rolled out Vibes — a short-form video feed that’s basically TikTok if it was trained on leftover AI soup. Think AI-generated clips on repeat, hoping to catch eyeballs. Fun experiment or content graveyard? Time will tell.
