Tool: Recall Why This Tool: Recall turns everything you read, watch, or listen to (articles, YouTube videos, podcasts, PDFs, Google Docs) into AI-powered summaries and stores them in one searchable knowledge base that automatically organizes and connects your ideas, so you never lose a valuable insight again. Best For: Entrepreneurs drowning in saved content they never revisit, coaches researching multiple sources for program development, professionals who consume tons of educational content but struggle to retain it, anyone with 100+ browser tabs or scattered notes across platforms Cost: Free plan available, premium plans for advanced features (check getrecall.ai/pricing for current rates) Website: https://www.getrecall.ai/ Quick Win Prompt: "Install the Recall browser extension, then spend the next hour consuming content like you normally would (watch a YouTube video, read an article, open a PDF). Click the Recall button on each piece of content to save and summarize it instantly. At the end of the hour, open your Recall knowledge base and see everything you just consumed organized, summarized, and searchable in one place. You've just built the foundation of your personal AI-powered second brain." Other Things Recall Can Do: - Chat with your entire knowledge base: Ask questions across everything you've ever saved and get answers that pull from multiple sources, connecting ideas you didn't know were related - Automatic knowledge graph: Watch your saved content organize itself with smart tags and visual connections that surface related ideas while you browse, turning passive reading into active discovery - Spaced repetition for retention: Use built-in memory techniques to actually remember what you consume instead of just collecting content you'll never look at again - Cross-platform sync: Access your knowledge base through browser extensions (Chrome, Firefox), mobile apps (iOS, Android in beta), and web app so your insights are always available

Hey everyone! 👋 I know AI image tools can feel overwhelming. Suddenly there are new versions dropping every week (like the new ChatGPT Image 1.5 that just came out!). To keep it simple, I tested the two biggest players so you don't have to guess. Here is the "Plain English" breakdown of which one you should use for your daily tasks. Option 1: ChatGPT (The "Fast Camera") Best for: Quick fun, social media posts, and simple ideas. Think of this like a Polaroid camera. You point, shoot, and get a great-looking picture instantly. - Use this if: You need a quick image for a Facebook post, a slide background, or just to brainstorm an idea. - Why beginners like it: It’s very forgiving. You can type a short sentence like "A cat wearing sunglasses on a beach," and it usually looks good on the first try. - The cool new feature: They added a "Refine" button where you can highlight just one part (like the cat's sunglasses) and change it without ruining the rest of the picture. Option 2: Nano Banana (The "Smart Designer") Best for: Consistency, text, and specific layouts. Think of this like hiring a patient graphic designer. It listens to specific instructions better. - Use this if: You are making a YouTube thumbnail where the text needs to be readable, or if you are creating a character (like a mascot) that needs to look the same in 5 different pictures. - Why pros like it: It is better at "logic." If you ask for a flowchart or a diagram, it actually tries to put the boxes in the right order. - The superpower: It can handle complex prompts where you describe exactly where things should go. Cheat Sheet: Which one for what? - Need a quick meme or funny pic? 👉 Go with ChatGPT. - Need a Thumbnail with text on it? 👉 Go with Nano Banana. - Need a logo or brand mascot? 👉 Go with Nano Banana (it remembers characters better!). - Need to change just the background of a photo? 👉 Go with ChatGPT. Homework: Try generating the same idea in both tools and post the results in the comments! I’d love to see which style you prefer.

Most of my work focuses on AI automation for clients, but at the end of the year I also created an AI-powered New Year’s greeting video for one of them. I’d like to add that I’m not a video or movie expert and I don’t have a background in this field. Still, with the help of AI tools, I was able to create the final video without any major issues: - VEO 3.1 – video clips - Nono Banana Pro – images - ElevenLabs – audio background and voice-over - CapCut – final editing and assembly The point is simple: if I can do it, you can too.And if you like the video, feel free to give it a like 👍
