APPS
📚 Google releases "Study Notebooks" in Gemini
Google released “Study Notebooks,” a dedicated space inside the Gemini app that turns it into a personalized, interactive learning platform for any subject. They're free and rolling out globally in every language.
Note: Study Notebooks are rolling out now to personal accounts for users 18 and older, desktop-only for now, with mobile support coming later this summer. School accounts follow in the coming weeks.
Here's how it works:
Start with a prompt or your own materials: Type a topic or upload class notes, then take a quick diagnostic quiz that pinpoints what to focus on.
Get a personalized plan: Gemini builds bite-sized, interactive lessons to deepen your understanding.
It adapts as you go: Lessons automatically update based on your quiz results and any new material you add.
Syncs with NotebookLM: Continue learning there with flashcards, infographics, and questions about your materials.
It also supports test prep, with full-length practice SAT support now and no-cost ACT and GRE practice tests (built with The Princeton Review) coming in the weeks ahead.
TOOL OF THE DAY
Moda is the AI design agent with taste
Moda's viral launch hit 4.4 million views in two days. Tens of thousands of professionals signed up. Startups, agencies, forward-thinking brands and top firms are now using Moda to create brand-aligned slides, ad creative, reports, social carousels and more.
Most AI tools tend to create what we call "AI slop": repetitions of the same colors, layouts and fonts. And when you try to fix it, you get stuck in a loop of re-prompting.
Moda is different. Drop in your website URL, and Moda learns your brand from the ground up: your colors, your fonts, your visual language. Then it helps you generate pro-quality slides, docs, and marketing assets.
The best part? Every layer is fully editable on a real canvas, and exports to powerpoint, PDF and more.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
🎬 OpenArt releases "Director"
OpenArt released “Director,” a tool that builds a complete video from a single idea through conversation, no clip-stitching, timelines, or editing software needed.
OpenArt calls the new approach "vibe directing" (the same way vibe coding changed how software gets built).
Note: Director is available on OpenArt's paid plans. The Advanced plan ($29/mo) includes up to roughly 2 minutes of video, Infinite ($56/mo) up to about 4 minutes, and Wonder ($240/mo) up to about 17 minutes.
You describe the story, characters, and pacing, chat your way to perfecting it, and walk away with a finished video.
Here's what makes it different:
Five-minute videos in one go: Most AI video tools cap out around 5 to 15 seconds. Director generates up to five uninterrupted minutes (enough for a real beginning, middle, and end).
Consistent characters and branding: Faces, voices, products, and visual style stay steady from the first frame to the last, even across complex scenes.
Everything in one place: Voiceover, music, and captions are all built in (no extra apps).
Chat to create, chat to edit: Don't like a single frame or the whole thing? Just tell Director what to change and it reshapes around your notes.
8+ languages natively: Supports English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese, with phoneme-level lip-sync.
Use it for short films, music videos, UGC ads, micro-dramas, product ads, social content, and explainers.
VIDEO EDITING
🎥 Tella releases "Editor MCP"
Watch a full walkthrough here.
Tella released an “Editor MCP” that lets you hand off video editing to AI agents.
You describe what you want in plain language and the agent does the work (cutting and trimming, adding zooms, changing layouts, and rearranging clips).
What your agents can do with it:
Edit by conversation: Remove filler words, cut silences, and add cursor-following zooms (all from a chat prompt).
Pull transcripts and key moments: Find where you covered a topic, highlight sections, and mine recordings for summaries.
Export and publish: Export in 4K and publish straight to channels like YouTube the moment a cut is ready.
