My fellow AI explorers

It’s been one of those whirlwind weeks where the future starts to feel oddly present.

We’ve got AI salespeople outperforming humans, Midjourney entering video generation, and Google launching a real-time search agent that sounds like it came out of a sci-fi flick. Oh, and Sam Altman casually confirmed GPT-5 is dropping this summer.

There’s no shortage of visual flair, mind-bending tools, and billion-dollar chess moves to dig into—so grab your neural notepad, and let’s get into it.

In today’s edition:

• 🎬 Midjourney's video debut brings surreal motion to your static prompts

• 🧠 GPT-5 is coming this summer (and OpenAI’s naming drama might finally end)

• 🗣️ Google drops a live AI search agent—no typing required

🎥 Midjourney Gets Moving: Image-to-Video Arrives

Midjourney just released its first-ever video generation model—V1—bringing its signature dreamlike style to motion.

Here’s how it works:

• You generate an image with Midjourney as usual

• Then click the "Animate" button to turn it into a video

• You’ll get 4 stylized variations, plus the ability to extend the video manually or automatically

And the results? Surprisingly fluid, sometimes cartoonish, and undeniably Midjourney.

🌀 What’s cool:

• Upload real images of yourself and animate them

• Extend scenes by prompting the next action ("wolf turns and runs away")

• View endless generations on the Midjourney Explore page—now full of trippy AI videos

🎯 Prediction: This model isn’t about realism—it’s about aesthetic storytelling. Expect brands, creators, and meme artists to flood timelines with animated art that stands out in a sea of sameness.

🔮 GPT-5 Is Coming… This Summer

It’s official: GPT-5 is just a few months away. Sam Altman confirmed it in OpenAI’s latest podcast appearance—and also admitted the naming system has gotten… confusing.

Here’s the scoop:

• GPT-5 will launch “sometime this summer” (Altman’s words)

• They plan to return to simpler versioning (GPT-5 → GPT-6 → GPT-7…)

• No public benchmarks yet, but expectations are sky-high

Why does it matter? GPT-4o was a multi-modal step forward, but GPT-5 is expected to focus on reasoning, reliability, and longer context.

🧠 Prediction: Expect GPT-5 to power the next wave of autonomous agents, multi-step planners, and hyper-personalized assistants—especially as OpenAI leans harder into voice and memory.

🧭 Google’s New AI Search Agent Talks Back

Search just became a conversation.

Google launched a new Search Live mode that lets you talk to your queries. It searches Google in real time, then responds with spoken answers.

How it works:

• Available in the Google app (iOS + Android)

• Tap the sparkle icon to enter live mode

• Ask a question and hear answers from top results

It’s not Bard. It’s not Gemini. It’s Google Search—but with voice and AI rolled in.

🗣️ Prediction: This is Google testing the waters for fully voice-native search. As agents mature, we’re headed toward invisible search experiences that feel like a mix of Siri, ChatGPT, and a podcast host.

👉 Try it in the Google App

🎤 Create a Lip-Synced Product Ad Using HeyGen

Want to create a UGC-style product ad using nothing but a photo and script?

HeyGen’s new Product Placement feature lets you do just that.

Here’s how:

1. Go to HeyGen and click “Product Placement”

2. Upload a product image (e.g., cereal box, water bottle, lipstick)

3. Upload a photo of yourself or an avatar

4. Type or record a short script

5. Hit generate — and get a video of your avatar holding your product and pitching it

🎬 Why it’s powerful:

• Zero editing skills needed

• Customize the message, tone, and even voice

• Great for product mockups, eCommerce, or influencer-style demos

💡 Pro tip: If the TTS voice feels too robotic, record your own voiceover and let HeyGen auto-sync the lips.
