Our Top 3 of the Day:3k AI Podcasts created weekly for $1 each
Inception Point AI is mass-producing AI-hosted podcasts at $1 per episode, creating over 3,000 episodes weekly across 5,000 shows, using 184 AI agents and 50+ virtual personalities like “Claire Delish” and “Nigel Thistledown.” Led by former Wondery exec Jeanine Wright, the startup aims to flood niche audio markets profitably, with some episodes turning a profit after just 20 listens. Their strategy mixes SEO-driven content, programmatic ads, and scalable AI-generated voices, positioning AI podcasts not as replacements but as a new genre. The bootstrapped team is also exploring short-form video, influencer avatars, and future monetization paths. What we are reading:
Nvidia CEO will make us Busier Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says AI won’t make life easier, just faster and busier. Jensen Huang pushed back on the vision of a lazy, robot-run future, arguing that AI will actually make humans busier, not more idle. “Faster tools mean we’ll chase more ideas,” he said, predicting more work, not less, even as productivity grows. He expects robotics to permeate all industries, from hospitals to farms, and acknowledges a four-day workweek might come, but only alongside a flood of new jobs and responsibilities. Huang believes AI will transform every job, grow GDP, and improve life quality, not replace work entirely. 🧰 AI ToolComputing Power
Gen AI drives 4,700% spike in U.S. shopping site traffic
Traffic to U.S. retail websites from generative AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity surged 4,700% YoY in July, Adobe reports. Shoppers using AI are more engaged, spending 32% more time on sites, viewing 10% more pages, and bouncing 27% less. While still smaller than paid search, AI-driven traffic is rapidly closing the gap, with conversion rates improving, from 49% lower in January to just 23% lower in July. Google AI Mode will become the default mode in the next days which will increase these numbers drastically. Adobe attributes the rise to growing trust in AI-generated links, with over 90% of users relying on LLM recommendations. 🧰 AI Guides

Amazon Startup Recreates Lost Orson Welles Film With AI
Amazon-backed Showrunner is using AI to recreate 43 minutes of missing footage from Orson Welles’ The Magnificent Ambersons (1942), whose original cut was destroyed. Unlike John Woo’s A Better Tomorrow II, recently restored from a lost print, Welles’ footage is gone for good. The team is rebuilding scenes from Welles’ notes and using AI to map original actors' faces onto new footage. Critics warn this could lead to uncanny results, as seen with AI recreations in Alien: Romulus. Showrunner’s CEO sees this as a step toward users generating full films with AI, calling it the “Netflix of AI.” 🧰 AI ToolGardening
Google Set to Make AI Mode the Default Search Experience
Google is preparing to make "AI Mode" the default for Search, replacing classic web links with a conversational AI experience similar to ChatGPT. Already live in 180+ countries (outside the EU), AI Mode now lets users book services or buy tickets directly in the chat. At the same time, Google’s lawyers argue in an antitrust case that the open web is in “rapid decline”, blaming ad dollar shifts and AI chatbots. Ironically, critics say Google is accelerating that decline by funneling traffic into its own AI platform while using it as a defense against breaking up its ad business. 🧰 AI GuidesNBER - Conducts and disseminates nonpartisan economic research - Check “The Economics of Transformative AI”

OpenAI Backs AI-Generated Animated Film ‘Critterz’
OpenAI is supporting the production of Critterz, an AI-assisted animated feature aiming to debut at Cannes 2026. Created by Chad Nelson, the film tells the story of forest creatures facing disruption by a stranger. It’s being co-produced by Vertigo Films (UK) and Native Foreign (LA), with a budget under $30M, far less than traditional animated films. The team plans to finish the movie in just 9 months (vs. Hollywood’s typical 3 years), using OpenAI tools like GPT-5 and DALL·E, while still employing human artists and voice actors. The project is positioned as a proof-of-concept that generative AI can make films faster and cheaper, potentially reshaping Hollywood. The script was written by writers behind Paddington in Peru, and a profit-sharing model is in place for the ~30 creatives involved. While the film lacks a distribution partner, it’s a bold bet by OpenAI to showcase AI’s creative potential on the big screen. 🚀 Showcase Your Innovation in the Premier Tech and AI Newsletter (link) As a vanguard in the realm of technology and artificial intelligence, we pride ourselves in delivering cutting-edge insights, AI tools, and in-depth coverage of emerging technologies to over 55,000+ tech CEOs, managers, programmers, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts.
