Good morning. We've got 7 tools for you today.
In the roundup: an interactive Justin Bieber Coachella stage, an AI YouTube thumbnail editor, AI meeting notes that sync with Claude, on-brand AI ad creative, an AI CAD agent you can prompt in plain English, a Chrome extension that pulls any site's CSS for AI coding, and a real-time dither animation playground.
PRODUCTIVITY
Your meetings just got a lot more useful
Granola connects your meeting notes to tools like Claude and ChatGPT, so your AI actually understands your work context. Update your CRM, extract tasks, or write follow-ups without copy-pasting a thing.
DESIGN
AI ads that look and feel like your brand
Most AI tools fall short because they lack context. They generate in a vacuum.
Hightouch Ad Studio uses your data and brand guidelines to produce high-quality creative. Refresh ads based on performance, react to trends, and respond to competitors instantly.
Less time prompting. More time launching.
GRAPHIC DESIGN
🎯 Redesign YouTube thumbnails with a prompt
Upload a thumbnail, describe the change, and it handles expression swaps, background cleanup, sketch-to-design, and full thumbnail sets in seconds. Built specifically for YouTube, no heavyweight editor required.
SOCIAL MEDIA
🎤 Control the screen behind Justin Bieber at Coachella
Bieberchella is a web experience that recreates Justin Bieber's viral Coachella stage. Pick from preloaded videos, paste any YouTube URL, or record the whole thing as an MP4.
You can also hover the bottom of the screen to explore Bieber's MacBook dock.
3D DESIGN
⚙️ Adam designs 3D parts from a plain-English prompt
Adam is an AI assistant for CAD. Instead of clicking through complex menus to edit a model, you describe the change you want in plain English, and Adam handles it.
"What's CAD?" CAD (Computer-Aided Design) is the software engineers, architects, and product designers use to build 3D models of physical objects (anything from a chair leg to a car part.) Think of it like Figma, but for real-world things that get manufactured.
ANIMATION
🌀 DotForge is a playground for real-time dither animations
DotForge is a free, browser-based tool for making dither animations with Bayer, halftone, ASCII, and other retro pattern effects. Good for motion graphics, glitch aesthetics, and anything with a nostalgic, web-brutalist vibe.
WEB DESIGN
🧩 Pull any site's CSS straight into your AI coding workflow
DESIGN.md Style Extractor is a Chrome extension that extracts CSS styles and design tokens from any website and generates DESIGN.md or SKILL.md files with one click.
"What's an .md file?" An .md (Markdown) file is a plain text document with simple formatting (like a lightweight Word doc) that AI coding tools can easily read.
Giving an AI a DESIGN.md file is like handing it a cheat sheet of a website's exact colors, fonts, and styles so it can build something that matches.
