📸 Turn a screen recording into an app?
Gemini 2.5 Pro can now rebuild apps from videos. Plus: AI avatars from a single image, open-source transcription, and an 8-minute AI soundtrack that sounds like Dune.

My fellow AI explorers
Another week, another stack of jaw-dropping upgrades.
It’s the kind of week where “sci-fi” quietly becomes “ready for deployment.” Google’s Gemini can now clone apps from screen recordings. Midjourney gives you a reference image for product photography. Nvidia dropped an open-source Whisper rival. And HeyGen? They’ll build your AI avatar from just one photo.
The theme? Speed to value. All these tools make high-quality outputs from low-effort inputs. Screens to software. Photos to avatars. Prompts to movie-grade soundtracks.
In today’s edition:
🧠 Google Gemini clones your screen
🎭 HeyGen avatars from a single image
🎶 AI makes Dune-worthy soundtracks
🎨 Midjourney’s new reference tool
📣 Plus: Nvidia’s open-source Whisper, NotebookLM goes mobile, OpenAI’s GitHub brain, and more.

Gemini 2.5 Pro
From Screen Recording to App
Google just took app prototyping to a new level. Gemini 2.5 Pro can now watch a video of you using an app—and rebuild it from scratch.
Here’s what’s new:
✅ Gemini now excels at frontend coding (think UI-heavy web apps).
🎥 You can upload a screen recording of any app or site.
⚙️ Tell it “Recreate this,” and it rebuilds the core functionality.
This works best in AI Studio (choose the 0506 Gemini 2.5 Pro model). It doesn't magically produce perfect apps yet, but it gets impressively close. A quick video of a time zone converter was enough to kick off a working clone—with minimal prompting.
🔮 Prediction: Expect “video-to-app” workflows to explode. Early adopters will turn product demos, onboarding flows, and internal tools into working software prototypes in under 5 minutes.

GitHub
ChatGPT for Devs
Now With GitHub Deep Research
ChatGPT quietly dropped a big dev-focused feature: you can now link your GitHub repo to its “deep research” mode.
What’s new:
🔗 Connects directly to GitHub repos.
🧠 Allows full-codebase context during reasoning.
📘 OpenAI updated its usage guide to explain when to use each model.
This turns GPT into a smarter onboarding assistant or debugging sidekick. You can also access clearer documentation inside ChatGPT itself—something long overdue.
💡 Use Case: New team member joins? Give them GPT + GitHub + deep research and let it walk them through the entire repo.
AI Buys AI
OpenAI x Windsurf
OpenAI Buys a Coding Copilot
OpenAI has officially acquired Windsurf, one of the most advanced AI coding environments available today. Think of it as a “super IDE” powered by generative AI, similar to Cursor—but with deeper model integration.
Here’s what makes this deal important:
💸 Acquisition price rumored to be $3 billion.
🧠 Windsurf allows for live AI pair programming and real-time code feedback.
🔌 It integrates with server environments to test code across stacks.
This marks a major move in OpenAI’s push to dominate AI-assisted software development. By bringing Windsurf in-house, they now control a full pipeline—from model to IDE.
🧠 Prediction: We’re heading toward a world where software is co-built with agents in real time. Expect Windsurf’s capabilities to appear inside ChatGPT's code interpreter or future business tools.

🎧 Turn Yourself Into an Avatar—with One Image
HeyGen just dropped something fun (and slightly spooky): Avatar IV lets you generate realistic video avatars using just a single image.
Here’s how to try it:
Go to HeyGen’s homepage.
Pick “Avatar IV” and upload any selfie or headshot.
Select your voice and script, then hit generate.
Wait 2–3 minutes for your avatar video.
Why it matters:
You no longer need minutes of training footage.
Works great for social posts, pitch videos, and onboarding flows.
Hands still need work—but face and voice are solid.
🪞 Pro tip: Use a high-contrast photo with a clean background for best results.
