🍏 Apple Intelligence Gets Real

Apple’s WWDC reveals on-device AI that’s private, practical, and… surprisingly good.

Apple’s new features didn’t come with splashy AGI demos—but their AI tools are quietly becoming indispensable. And they all run on-device.

• Live Translation: Works in Messages, FaceTime, and phone calls—instantly.

• Visual Search: Tap any object in a photo to find similar items online.

• Genmoji + Image Playground: Mash emojis with AI images to create wild visuals.

• AI in Shortcuts: Automate transcriptions and summaries from lecture recordings.

Apple’s positioning itself as the private AI company—running powerful models directly on your iPhone. Even the Apple Watch gets smarter workouts, and Apple Vision Pro now has persistent AI widgets and spatial memory.

🔮 Prediction: Apple’s long-term play is clear—AI that feels invisible but deeply personalized. Expect more devs to flock to its on-device models, building tools that feel native and frictionless.

AI Video

🎥 MidJourney’s Next Frontier: Video

MidJourney video is finally real—sort of.
For months, MidJourney teased generative video. Now, they’ve launched a video ranking party—where users rate model outputs to fine-tune quality.

• No prompts yet: You can’t generate videos, but you can vote.

• Two videos at a time: Choose which one looks better.

• Model Training: Helps MidJourney dial in video quality before public release.

Meanwhile, Meta AI launched preset-based video editing—transforming outfits, lighting, and environments in real footage. Think Gen-1 and Runway, but baked into Facebook’s core.

🔮 Prediction: Expect MidJourney to launch text-to-video within weeks. Meta’s going wide with consumer access, while MidJourney is going deep on quality. The generative video wars are just getting started.

Meta AI

🕸️ Meta Buys Into the AI Supply Chain

Meta acquires 49% of Scale AI. This isn’t just an investment—it’s a land grab.
Scale AI provides training data to nearly every major AI company—including OpenAI, Microsoft, and Nvidia. Now Meta owns nearly half of it.

• Price Tag: ~$15 billion

• Leadership Shift: Scale CEO Alexander Wang joins Meta to lead a superintelligence lab

• Industry Shakeup: Meta’s closest AI rivals depend on Scale for data

Scale says it’ll stay “independent”—but when your biggest competitor owns half the shop, things get awkward fast.

🔮 Prediction: Meta’s planning a vertically integrated AI empire, from infrastructure to intelligence. This is their OpenAI–Microsoft moment—and it may force other labs to rethink who trains their models.

Let Gemini Plan Your Week Like a Personal Assistant

Want AI to actually do something with your time?

Here’s how to make Google Gemini auto-schedule your creative or work tasks.

1. Open the Gemini app

2. Say: “Every Monday, give me 5 blog ideas.”

3. Or: “At 7 a.m. daily, summarize my calendar and unread emails.”

4. Gemini will now trigger that task every week or every day.

💡 Why it matters: This moves AI from chat toy to true assistant. Instead of reactively asking questions, Gemini starts acting proactively—turning static prompts into workflows.
