Airpost

Everyone wants high-quality, high-volume video ads. But getting them made is a slow and expensive process.

Airpost is a new kind of video ad creation platform that uses AI to handle ideation, production, and editing for you.

It generates 30+ custom, voiceover-driven ads in a few hours. You just drop in your Amazon or product link, review a pre-filled creative brief, and let Airpost handle the rest.

It draws from your own footage, plus 400,000+ vertical UGC-style clips and AI-generated visuals to give you a gallery of ready-to-run ads.

AI Badge

Transparency is a huge differentiator these days.

The AI Badge is designed to assess and communicate the level of AI involvement in your creative process across audio, visual, and text mediums.

Inspired by the Creative Commons model, it categorizes work into five levels—from fully human-created (Category 0) to entirely AI-generated (Category 4).

Just answer a few questions about your creation, and the AI Badge system will assign the appropriate label, such as S-AI-1 (Sounds) or T-AI-3 (Text).

Reels Webinar

If your Reels reach is trash, join the party. We’re tuning into Meta’s Reels Webinar this Thursday, April 24 at 9 a.m. EST to take some notes.

The session will feature insights from Meta’s product leaders, content experts, and advertisers using Reels successfully.

The crew will cover what makes a Reel perform well, creative diversification, how brands can tap into trends, and hopefully how to get out of “200 views jail,” as they say.

The data is provided by real buyers and allows you to compare pricing and see market ranges before moving forward or making a deal.

Notion Mail

This week, Notion launched Notion Mail, a smart email client powered by AI. It’s designed to work with Gmail and deeply integrate with Notion’s broader productivity suite.

One standout feature is its auto-labeled folders, which use Notion AI to intelligently sort incoming emails by topic — no manual tagging needed. So, emails related to job applications or customer feedback can automatically filter into dedicated views.

It looks and feels like Notion, and it also connects with tools like Notion Calendar to streamline tasks like scheduling meetings.

Klik Email

This tool transforms your custom email signature designs into clean, clickable HTML—no coding required.

Just upload your design, add interactive hotspots, and copy-paste the result into your email client. It’s tested to work with Gmail, Outlook, and more.

This easily saves hours of dev time, and once downloaded, your signature is yours to reuse anytime with lifetime access.

It’s free to try!
