1) Googleās āDecember AI updatesā recap (speed + agents + āget-more-doneā tools) What happened: Google published a December roundup highlighting new AI capabilities across Gemini, Search, and Google Labs, with a clear theme: faster models plus more āagenticā help for real-world tasks. Why it matters: - This is where big platforms are heading: AI that does the steps, not just answers questions. - More built-in AI features means less tool-hopping for planning, writing, research, and content workflows. Do this (builder move): - Use one āagentā prompt for your weekly content plan: ask it to produce a 7-day plan, scripts, captions, and repurposing angles in one go. - Start treating AI like a workflow assistant: āPlan ā Draft ā Repurpose ā Schedule,ā not āone prompt per task.ā 2) Googleās December 2025 Core Update rollout is complete (SEO + content visibility shift) What happened: Search Engine Land reported that Googleās December 2025 core update rollout has finished, which can change how content ranks and gets discovered.Why it matters: - If your reach dipped (or jumped), it may not be your content āgetting worseā, it can be the algorithm re-weighting signals. - This impacts how your blog posts, landing pages, and evergreen content bring in leads over time. Do this (builder move): - Pick your top 3 pages/posts and improve: headline clarity, first 3 lines, helpful subheads, and add a simple FAQ section. - Ask AI to rewrite your intro for humans (not bots): āMake this more satisfying, direct, and specific for a beginner.ā 3) Metaās move into āAI agentsā gets louder with the Manus acquisition news What happened: Reuters reported Meta is acquiring Manus to boost advanced AI features, with plans to integrate it into Meta products (including Meta AI). Why it matters: - Meta is signaling a shift from āchatbotsā to āagentsā that can execute tasks, which will likely feed into business tools, creator tools, and automation. - This is a preview of whatās coming to everyday marketing: more automated creation, targeting, and campaign workflows inside platforms. - Do this (builder move): - Start documenting your repeatable marketing tasks (posting, DM replies, lead tracking). Those are the first things āagentsā will automate. - Build simple SOPs now: āIf comment says X ā reply Y ā DM Z ā tag lead.ā
