My latest video breaks down how to design high-quality YouTube thumbnails with AI. I show my processes with Google's Nano Banana Pro, ChatGPT, and a new tool called Thumio. Be sure to like/comment/share if you found this helpful ❤️

@Ryan Doser Thanks! I watch Corbin's channel a lot (the Thumbio guy). He's pretty cool. He's maturing nicely - into a valuable channel with some amazing tutorials.

👋 Intros

Thanks for letting me join!

Hey, I'm Antonio, based in Helsinki. I run Google Ads campaigns and do SEO work, plus trying to get two businesses off the ground (agency + travel company). The travel one is basically me being stubborn about a market I know well. AI tools have become my unfair advantage for research, ad testing, content workflows, basically anything repetitive. Though half the time I'm still figuring out if I'm using them right. Excited to learn from what everyone's actually doing here, not just what sounds good on paper. I'll try to join Ryan's meetups when the timezone works out... Thanks for having me. Antonio

Welcome @Antonio Ruiz . Finland eh? I think being stubborn is a good thing. Good luck with your companies... so many possibilities, so little time! Enjoy the process though.

We Lost a Good One Last Night 💔 🐶

Hey guys - First of all I apologize for anyone who was planning on attending the New Member Onboarding Call today. I had to cancel due to a chaotic week of a family death on Friday and unexpectedly putting our dog down last night 💔 I appreciate all of you for understanding and 2026 will be a great year for this community! I have a lot of good things planned. I hope you all have a great Christmas/Holiday Season with your families ❤️

oh man Ry... that's a hard blow. I'm sorry to hear... words can never express the pain one feels when losing a beloved family member. I hope you and your wife find ways to honor the process that is healing and you can cherish the memories going forward. I had four little bridge builders at one point... now down to one old girl and she is thinking about departing this world so... ya... I get it. Thanks for sharing. I hope your little online family is some comfort today.

@Catherine Eadie totally agree and this model is strategically and substantially different from anything OpenAI has ever released before. It is likely the best in most ways compared to the others but no model is going to be a One-size-fits-all... like. ever. Good users will always have some knowledge, experience and proficiency with all the models and man oh man... that takes a lot of effort because these releases and updates have been happening at break-neck speed. I don't have a tech background so it may be more difficult for me, but I am trying. 🫠

@Carlota López-Peredo you are most welcome.🍾 I wish I had time to share more and I will over time as I learn. 4o is my daily collaborator (esp with SVM) and I use 5.2 when I'm working on my shopify store (with SVM). I haven't tried it for coding anything yet but I hear it is the BEST ... nor have I spent much time with the new image 1.5 generator because I love my AI Studio workflow. I have used Claude to vibe code a couple of web apps and want to do more of that! - def keep me posted on your favs and use cases... always curious to know what others are finding useful.
