Claude AI Updates

Anthropic has rolled out two major updates to its Claude AI assistant: a conversational voice mode on mobile and expanded web search access for all users, including those on free plans.

Voice mode lets users speak naturally with Claude and toggle seamlessly between voice and text without losing context.

Pro users ($20/month) also get integrations with Google Docs, Drive, Calendar, and Gmail.

There are five voices: Buttery (lol), Airy, Mellow, Glassy, and Rounded. Voice interactions can include documents and images, and you can get full transcripts and visual note summaries.

Plus, real-time web search is now available for all users, free or paid.

OpusClip Thumbnail

YouTube thumbnails are a fine art movement that will be studied one day.

Until then, we gotta make them.

Go to OpusClip Thumbnail, drop your video link, and get three AI-generated, high-performing thumbnail options to choose from.

It’s free, and it works.

snapdeck for Figma

Snapdeck AI is a slide-generation tool built entirely within Figma, which means no switching tabs and exporting files.

With a text prompt, you can turn your Figma designs and layouts into fully customizable, presentation-ready slides.

Free users get up to 5 slides per day. Pro users get unlimited slides, natural language editing, and advanced AI features.

NotebookLM Mobile

Auditory learners… are you listening? Google Labs has launched the official NotebookLM app for iOS and Android.

Now, you can listen to Audio Overviews on the go, even offline. The app lets you interact with the hosts in real time, asking questions or steering the conversation.

You can also add sources on the fly. Just tap the share icon when viewing a website, YouTube video, or PDF, and send it directly to NotebookLM.

Finseo.ai

Okay, so you’re ready to start monitoring your brand visibility across genAI platforms.

Finseo.ai tracks daily AI prompts and responses to flag mentions of your brand, competitors, or key terms, offering some insight into where and how often you appear.

Plus, Finseo streamlines keyword research using AI clustering; supports content creation with AI-generated articles, images, and charts; and optimizes SEO performance through audits.

GenAI Certification for Business Leaders

To help non-technical pros get up to speed, Google Cloud just launched a new Generative AI Leader certification.

It’s designed for business roles and comes with a free learning path (about 7–8 hours total).

Here’s what it covers:

The basics of gen AI and large language models
How Google Cloud tools like Gemini and NotebookLM work
Prompting tips and AI-powered workflows
Leading AI adoption across an organization

The exam costs $99 and takes 90 minutes. It’s live now.

Endless Tools

Endless Tools is a browser-based resource that makes it easy to build polished 3D visuals, animations, and interactive effects without any code.

It’s especially useful for marketers and designers who need high-impact graphics without relying on a full production team.

The platform supports MP4 animation exports, 4K image rendering, and interactive embeds, plus features like 3D typography, SVG-to-3D conversion, and a growing library of curated 3D objects and materials.

It’s great for campaign key visuals, web graphics, or even lightweight prototypes. Newbies can stick to presets, but 3D nerds can customize accordingly.
