What I’d Pull From These If I Were You

• Most people sleep on new trends until the train has left the station — get ahead by leaning in early.

• Tools win, but context + use case matters more. A “good tool” is useless unless it fits your workflow.

• AI memory & state is a power lever many overlook. If you can train context over time, you get compounding value.

• Don’t skip over security, ethics, data privacy — especially if you're building something real.

• The narrative is shifting: AI isn’t “experiment”; it’s now just “business.” You don’t get to ignore it.

TLDR This: The Busy Reader’s Secret Weapon

Ever opened a 2,000-word article only to sigh and scroll straight to the conclusion? That’s our reality now — information overload everywhere. The problem is, the conclusion rarely gives you the full picture. That’s where TLDR This comes in. It does the heavy lifting for you: paste a link, drop in a chunk of text, or upload a file, and within seconds it generates a clear, structured summary. Short enough to read in a coffee break, but rich enough that you still get the essence without missing the important details.

😎 What’s Cool About It

• Paste & Go
  Just drop in a link or text, click one button, and you’re done.

• Multiple Summary Levels
  Choose between short, medium, or detailed summaries.

• Highlight Extraction
  Pulls out key quotes or bullet points if you need a quick reference.

• Free to Use
  Core functions don’t require sign-up or payment.

The Other Side

• No Fancy Options
  Don’t expect deep customization — it’s one job, one button.

• Quality Varies
  Our research of user experience shows that simple news pieces summarize beautifully; nuanced essays can lose important context.

• Premium Features
  Extra tools (like PDF upload, Chrome extension, advanced summaries) live behind a paywall.

 Our Test – Shrinking a Long Read

We tried pasting a long tech article (~1,800 words). Within seconds, TLDR This gave us:

Original article length: ~10 minutes reading
Summary (short mode): ~5 clear sentences covering the core idea
Medium mode: 2 short paragraphs with supporting details
Detailed mode: a full structured breakdown with bullet points

What we liked: The short mode was perfect for a quick grasp of the article.
What we didn’t: Some nuance was lost in medium/detailed versions — especially author’s “tone” and side arguments.

But the thing that impressed us is the messaging mode where you can ask further questions from the text. It can be very useful for really long documents and specific questions.

 🎯 Final Thoughts

TLDR This is like a cheat code for busy readers. It won’t replace carefully reading a thoughtful essay, but it’s a killer tool for scanning, research, or cutting through information overload.

We’re giving it 4/5 on our LMAI scale — not flawless, but brilliantly simple and useful. And free.

Palette.fm: AI Colorization Made Simple

Ever found a black-and-white photo and wondered what it would look like in color? Palette.fm does exactly that. This AI tool automatically colorizes monochrome images, giving them a fresh, modern look — or a completely new artistic twist.

 What’s Cool About It

• One-Click Magic
  Upload a black-and-white photo → get a full-color version in seconds.

• Style Presets
  Choose between realistic tones, vintage vibes, cinematic palettes, or bold artistic looks.

• Web-Based
  No installation needed — just drag, drop, and go.

• Free to Try
  Basic colorization is free; high-res exports require a subscription.

 The Other Side – comments from forums

• Not Always Accurate
  AI sometimes “guesses” wrong — a sky might turn green or clothing the wrong shade.

• Details Can Blur
  Fine textures (like hair or fabric patterns) sometimes lose sharpness.

• Limited Free Plan
  High-quality downloads and full-resolution images are locked behind premium.

 Our Test – From Vintage to Vibrant

For the test, we uploaded a simple black-and-white photo of a young boy. Palette.fm instantly colorized it, and we tried several different palette styles.

 The realistic mode gave natural skin tones and background colors that felt authentic.

• Switching to more artistic palettes produced striking variations — from soft vintage warmth to bold cinematic shades.

• The results were consistently impressive, with smooth transitions and believable tones.

However, we did notice one issue: the hair wasn’t rendered well. The colorization looked unfinished, which pulled us out of the illusion. Without that problem, we’d honestly be close to calling the results flawless.

The only other drawback? The HD version is locked behind a subscription. The free outputs look great for testing, but if you want print-ready, high-resolution files, you’ll need the paid plan.

 🧠 Final Thoughts

Palette.fm is a delightful tool for history lovers, photographers, or anyone who wants to reimagine old photos. It’s not always pixel-perfect, but the results are depending on the picture sometimes great and inspiring and sometimes a flop.

We’re giving it 3.5 on our LMAI scale — easy, fun, and guaranteed to surprise you with at least one unexpected color choice.

Now excuse us while we see what our grandparents’ wedding photos look like in full color. And hope grandpas hair wont be pink.
