🚀AI in August: The Hits Keep Coming

August 2025 was wild for AI. It was hard for me to keep up with it during the summer holidays :-) Here’s the TL;DR you can flex at dinner:

• OpenAI dropped GPT-5 → It’s multimodal, has a “thinking mode,” and Sam Altman literally called it the Manhattan Project of AI. (Also, hackers already broke it on Day 1 🙃).

• Microsoft built Project Ire → An AI agent that reverse-engineers malware. Think “AI cybersecurity nerd” baked into Windows.

• Apple’s Siri might run on Google’s Gemini → Imagine Siri not sucking for the first time in 15 years.

• India unveiled Kaala Bhairav → A homegrown AI combat drone with 30-hour flight time and swarm strike power. Predator drone vibes, but way cheaper.

• TCS spun up an AI powerhouse unit → India’s biggest IT firm reorganizing around AI.

• UK’s Acas is testing AI for workplace disputes → Chatbots settling HR drama faster (and cheaper) than humans.

• Google’s AI embarrassed itself again → Claimed Eminem & Elon Musk were at Jeff Bezos’ mom’s funeral. (Spoiler: they weren’t) source.

• Melania Trump announced the Presidential AI Challenge → $10k + cloud credits for students to solve real-world problems with AI.

• Anthropic’s misuse report → Criminals already using Claude for ransomware, scams, and fraud.

• Xiaomi dropped a new AI voice model → Optimized for smart homes + EVs, runs offline, answers faster.

⚡ Bonus trends: federated learning is hot, 95% of enterprise AI pilots fail (ouch), and Europe’s GPAI obligations just kicked in.

Princesses, Werewolves & Murder: Your Next AI Side Hustle

Here’s a weird but killer business idea:
Start a crime-romance newsletter where princesses, werewolves, vampires, and the occasional jewel thief all collide. It is a tried-out business, and there are a few companies that are killing it, like True Crime. But what if you make it a newsletter, sent out in the evening, for a light night read, and use AI to help you run it single-handed!

Think: CSI meets Twilight meets Bridgerton.

The Recipe 🍲

1. AI = Your Ghostwriter

   • Use GPT-style models + crime databases (for realism) or pure fiction prompts (for chaos).

   • Each story runs across two issues → cliffhanger in part 1, resolution in part 2. Keeps readers hooked.

   • Keep some characters persistent for recognition and better acceptance!

   • Publish the newsletter via BeeHiiv (I can highly recommend it as I use it as well)

2. The Business Model

   • Free tier: weekly mystery episodes.

   • Paid tier: VIP sneak preview (they get the ending early).

   • Women are the primary target group → they already dominate the romance + mystery genre spend.

   • Later move into sponsorships or just add a small subscription fee.

3. Marketing Engine

   • TikTok “booktok” clips: dramatic AI-generated covers + steamy voice-overs.

   • Instagram carousels: “Who stole the diamond?” → clickbait that feels like a mini-quiz.

   • Reader polls: “Should the princess kiss the detective… or the vampire?” (people love shaping the plot).

4. The Hook

   • Mystery + romance + fantasy = addictive.

   • Every episode ends with: “Want to know who the killer really is? Subscribe for early access.”

Why This Works 💸

• Romance + Mystery = $$$

  • Romance fiction is a $1B+ industry. Crime/mystery is another billion. Blend them with fantasy? Boom.

• AI = Infinite Content Factory

  • No writer’s block. No delays. Just steady drip of juicy stories.

• Subscription Flywheel

  • Tease + cliffhanger → people pay to jump the line.

• Built-in virality

  • Everyone loves playing detective, and everyone loves drama. Social media eats this up.

TL;DR

Launch an AI-powered “Princess & Werewolves” mystery-romance newsletter.

• Stories every week.

• Cliffhangers + delayed reveals.

• Subscription tiers with VIP sneak previews.

• Social Media Storytelling as a Growth Engine.

This isn’t just a newsletter. It’s a soap opera in your inbox. And a light good-night read for €3,99/m!

I guarantee it would work. I am willing to invest if you start this! 🫵🫵

Creatify.ai – say goodbye to the nephew that helps you make videos

Keeping up with ad trends is exhausting. One minute it’s TikTok, the next it’s Meta Reels or YouTube Shorts. But the basics are always the same – write a script, collect assets, and edit the video. Or your digitally skilled nephew does it. And that’s where Creatify.ai comes in — an AI-powered platform that transforms a simple product link into video ads. And the script? It covers it too. So lean back and let it do the work for you.

Some time ago, we tested Creatifly for our own projects and were satisfied, so we gave it another go to see if it had grown — and here’s what we found.

 ✨ Remember what Makes Creatify.ai

• Link-to-Video Magic – Paste your product URL, and in minutes you’ll have multiple ad variations ready to share.

• AI Avatars & Voiceovers – Choose from realistic avatars and voices in multiple languages. This option really scaled up in quantity (not quality – you see)

• Platform-Optimized Content – TikTok, Instagram, YouTube — your videos are sized and formatted perfectly.

🧪 Our Test

We started with something simple: a single product link. Ok, not that simple. This time we tested it with a link not to a physical product but with a link to a theatre show. When we test – we test!

1. Within minutes, with customization on the simple drop-down menu, it gave us four different scripts. The tone and the target audience are changeable to your needs, and it works really well. Also, you can upload your scripts… Script maker has grown and offers more possibilities now.

2. Choosing avatar – like a narrator that can be used VO only or actually like a person that tells the story. There are a bunch of them – some look polished and others not so much! After all this time, they are still not usable if you have any dignity.

3. Pick 1 of the 16 offered videos and generate one – you can see a preview of all of them, and when you choose, just click generate! Some of them are made with VO only, and some with an avatar.

And that’s it! We had a 30-second commercial. It looks good, and the VO in English is fantastic!

💭 Final Thoughts

First of all, it’s intuitive and straightforward. God bless them. That hasn’t changed, and we hope it won’t!

Creatify.ai won’t replace a full creative studio, but it’s more reliable than your nephew! It does a really good job with VO-only videos, but fails with avatar lip syncing. But what’s new? So if you only choose the version with a VO, you can get really good results. The script, voice, music, and images are all on point for the target audience, and the final video looks great. So, for a quick product video or even better for testing a new approach or idea without endless meeting with the creatives just try Creatify.ai and give it a go! We did – the second go! We are giving it a 4/5 rating on our LMAI scale!
