This Week’s Insights  

Gemini Gets Cute with it’s “Gems”

Gemini’s recent update. Hold onto your hats, because Gemini’s latest update is about to shake things up! Front and center are the copycat “gpts” or “agents” called Custom Gems and the upgraded visuals with Imagen 3.

With Custom Gems, PAID Gemini users can build their very own AI experts. Whether you’re coding or seeking career wisdom, these Gems are tailored to lend a hand. If you’ve created your own custom agents already, you know it’s like having a brilliant assistant who’s always on call. They simplify complex projects and spark those “aha!” moments. They also tackle the repetitive stuff. IF YOU DO NOT have any custom agents…it’s easier than ever to get started.

And let’s not forget Imagen 3, for jaw-dropping visuals! With just a little input, it crafts everything from lifelike landscapes to quirky claymation scenes. This is possible thanks to its cutting-edge tech and safety features. These upgrades are fun to play with and very easy to use.

We are cautiously optimistic as we are google workspace users and often get “sorry I can’t do that” as a response to our workspace Gemini queries. We know these products are quickly evolving and we are putting some of our eggs in the Gemini basket.

AI Voice Calls that Sound Just Like You!

Bland AI just raised a cool $16M Series A funding round, led by Scale Venture Partners, all set to revamp how enterprises handle phone calls. Imagine a world where your phone agents never sleep, speak any language, and adapt perfectly to your brand’s tone—sounds like science fiction, right? Well, that’s the reality Bland AI and a handful of other voice AI companies are bringing to the table with its hyper-realistic AI agents. If you want to try one out you can sign up here and you’ll get a call back from an AI Agent!

The Bland AI’s standout feature is voice cloning. Most AI Voice Agents have the ability to instantly switch languages and integrate seamlessly with existing systems. Businesses can easily build custom AI agents that handle routine tasks like calls and customer support, all while saving time and cutting costs. Can you even imagine the productivity boost when your AI agent can manage multiple calls at once or provide detailed analytics after each interaction. (we can;)

Already, many companies large and small are experiencing the benefits, customizing their AI agents to fit specific needs and deploying them to streamline operations. The potential for improved efficiency and personalized customer interactions is enormous. After interviewing one call center provider, they said that with minimal AI use, they are already 30% more efficient at answering their customer’s questions. Those who have fully adopted AI are saving 90% of their human time now. AND they will not let the AI replace all of their customer service agents as there are definitely times when us mere mortals are still needed to figure out a more complex solution to a customer’s issue.

Humans + AI =

Meet Claude Artifacts

One of our non-technical friends created 3 Chrome extensions in one day playing and experimenting with Claude Artifacts. Claude AI’s latest brainchild, the Artifacts feature, is the talk of the tech town and for good reason. You can work on your projects with a virtual assistant that not only helps you create but also packages everything neatly in downloadable files—no more juggling between windows with tedious copy-pasting. With Claude Sonnet 3.5, Artifacts help you draft, iterate, and finalize your creative or technical work. This feature automatically decides when an Artifact is suitable, making sure it enhances rather than complicates your workflow. Whether it’s generating code, crafting documents, or designing SVG images, Artifacts cater to a wide range of needs, making them a must-try for anyone who loves Claude as much as we do.

What’s even cooler is how Artifacts make collaboration feel like a breeze. Need a React component? Claude’s got you covered, allowing you to tweak and test without the hassle of external tools. Want to visualize processes with Mermaid diagrams? Done and dusted! Artifacts are not just a feature but a paradigm shift towards a more efficient, less cluttered workflow. They encourage you to think beyond traditional methods, offering a fresh perspective on how digital projects can be approached and managed. So, if you’re curious about Claude Artifacts, now’s the time to see what new things you can create and enjoy how they make work feel less like work and more like a creative adventure.

OpenAI Gets Cute Now Too With (is this going to be a trend?)

OpenAI has introduced its new AI model, whimsically codenamed “Strawberry,” to U.S. national security officials. This isn’t your average AI upgrade; Strawberry is stepping up the game by tackling complex math problems and programming tasks that usually leave current AI models scratching their virtual heads. Think of it as a clever new brain in the world of AI!   Beyond its immediate smarts, Strawberry is also busy crafting high-quality training data for OpenAI’s upcoming Orion language model, promising fewer hiccups and more accurate answers—perfect for anyone who’s been puzzled by their AI assistant’s quirky responses.

But wait, there’s more! OpenAI is toying with the idea of a mini-version of Strawberry for chat platforms like ChatGPT, aiming to elevate your AI chat experience to something akin to a digital symposium with a modern-day Socrates. On the safety side, OpenAI is collaborating with the U.S. AI Safety Institute to ensure Strawberry and its future siblings stay securely in line. This partnership with government bodies is a forward-thinking effort to address any AI-related concerns and maintain transparency. Whether Strawberry shines as a standalone marvel or fuels the brilliance of Orion, we’re on the verge of more AI advancements.

Stay tuned for the actual results of what this new model produces…

Meet the NEW Speedy Robo-Insect

Imagine a tiny microrobot, just 2 cm in length, zipping around like a mini Olympic sprinter. Meet the BHMbot, a marvel of modern engineering that boasts ultrafast untethered running speeds. This little dynamo achieves a jaw-dropping speed of 17.5 body lengths per second. It’s powered by a clever actuation mechanism that mimics the natural movements of insects and mammals. The BHMbot’s secret to speed lies in its innovative bouncing gait. This combines bouncing length and frequency to propel it forward. It’s like watching a tiny acrobat performing a perfectly synchronized routine, all while carrying its own power source—no strings attached!

But speed is just the tip of the iceberg for this microrobot. Equipped with wireless control capabilities, the BHMbot can navigate complex paths. It can move in circles and rectangles, and even more creative routes like letters and obstacle courses. Tasks like sound signal detection or even teaming up with drones for transportation missions are in this bug’s future. The applications are as diverse as they are exciting. They offer a glimpse into how these miniature robots could revolutionize fields ranging from engineering to search-and-rescue operations. Could you imagine the places this search-and-rescue companion could get into?

Curious to learn more about this pint-sized powerhouse? Check out the full article here for an in-depth dive into the world of BHMbot.
