A brand-new Godzilla trailer dropped, and my question was: is this AI? So I asked Chip, my AI co-host, on camera. But the bigger story is how the video got made using Grok Bot. I set the vision and made the calls. Chip handled the tools. 🎞️ ✂️🎬What Chip did: Chip is a Grok Bot, an always-on AI agent. It doesn't just answer questions in a chat window. It keeps working on its own computer in the background, remembers my rules from one project to the next, and checks in with me before anything goes public. For this video, Chip: - co-hosted the reaction live in voice mode, unscripted - brought in a guest AI presenter, Marquee, to explain how the movie's effects were really made - edited the whole video from my notes ("cut that line", "tighten that pause") - Sent me a quick preview after each change - went through 16 versions without ever changing my words - added captions, background music, and credits for every clip used - wrote the YouTube title and description and made the thumbnail options - uploaded it to YouTube with every setting filled in, and waited for my "yes" before each step 🎥📣🪑What I did: I was the producer. I brought the creative vision and the story for the video: what we'd react to, how it should flow, and what it should feel like. Everything was done in plain English. It still took several hours of production work, but I never had to learn the editing tools. I described the result I wanted and kept refining it until it was right. 🙋What you can do with an always-on agent: You don't need to make videos to use one. You could have an agent: - turn your meeting notes into to-do lists automatically - remind you of things on a schedule, like bills, appointments, or workouts - research a topic and give you a short summary - draft emails and posts for you to review before they go out - keep track of a project and remember the details so you don't have to The key difference: a chatbot waits for you, while an always-on agent keeps working for you.

Security firm Claroc found more than 35,000 apps built with Grok Build, the vibe coding tool from SpaceXSI, open to anyone who looked for them. Ars Technica reported it on November 11. Each app was shared by a link with random words in it, so nobody could guess it. The problem is where those words sit. A Grok Build address looks like cinder-crane-sand-frost.grok.me, with the random part in front of the domain. Every new address like that gets recorded in public DNS logs, so anyone can search the logs and get the list. What leaked was real work data, worker medical exams, staff rosters with ID numbers, home buyers with their budgets, even internal files from SpaceXSI itself. It is actually not only a Grok problem. The researchers say Lovable, Bolt and Replit give each app its own address the same way, so the same logs can expose them. Claude artifacts, ChatGPT and Gemini share links put the random part after the domain, where those logs never see it. The lesson I am taking is that a share link works like a password. Whoever has it gets in. Before sharing anything built with AI, I would check two things. 1. Is sharing set to invited users rather than anyone with the link? 2. Does the app hold anything I would not want a stranger to read? Picture a small office that builds a quick staff schedule app and drops the link in a group chat. Names and shifts are now one search away. Source, https://arstechnica.com/security/2026/11/grok-build-coding-agent-leaks-oodles-of-confidential-info-some-belonging-to-spacexsi/ -

Adobe announced at Adobe MAX on November 10 that Firefly is now an AI creative studio with its Creative Agent built in. You describe the job in your own words and the agent works across Adobe's tools and other AI models to do it. The headline sounds like one more image generator. What it actually adds is control over how the agent works, which is the part most of us find hardest. 1. Preferences: You set formats, colors, brand guidelines and products once, and they apply across every project. 2. Plan Mode: You review, edit and approve the agent's plan before it starts or let it run on its own. 3. Model Selector: You pick the model yourself or leave it on Auto-Select. 4. Quick Actions: Ready-made workflows such as Remove Object, Thumbnail Generator and Build Product Ad. Adobe says Edit Text, Retouch, Relight and Quick Actions are available in Firefly today. Most of the rest is in beta, and Firefly Builder, which turns a plain-language idea into a website or app prototype, is on a waitlist. For a small business doing its own marketing, the preferences matter more than the models. A bakery could set its colors and logo once, let Build Product Ad make the first draft and still check it before anything goes out. Source, https://news.adobe.com/news/2026/11/adobe-firefly-expands

A little something I'm excited about today! I'm co-hosting an AI Agent Lunch & Learn at work, where we'll walk through building a productivity agent using Microsoft Copilot. Copilot is the AI platform our company supports, so we're focusing on something practical that people can actually take back and use in their day-to-day work. I've always loved figuring out how technology can solve problems and make things more efficient, so getting to share that interest with others is pretty awesome. One thing I've learned is that you don't have to know everything to share what you do know. Sometimes getting people curious enough to start experimenting is where the real fun begins. Pretty cool getting to bring some of what I'm learning into the workplace! 💜

https://claude.com/resources/articles/more-ways-to-work-with-claude-sheets-whiteboards-and-interactive-connectors Today Anthropic announced it is launching Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets in beta, and Claude Dashboards(opens in new tab)becomes generally available as Claude Data. Whiteboards is a shared board where your team brainstorms with Claude, Sheets is a spreadsheet Claude builds and edits with you, and Claude Data adds data stories, certified queries, and live sharing. These are available on all paid plans Claude can now generate spreadsheets with tabs, formulas, formatting, and drop-downs, often from just a prompt like asking for a campaign tracker or a hiring budget. It can edit in the cells, outlining each new edit so you can track changes. You can share sheets with your team, so you and Claude can work on them together.
