🔥 This Week In AI:
Not all AI updates are power grabs, some are power shifts.
This week, OpenAI dropped a free learning hub to help anyone level up in AI. Runway leaped character consistency, solving one of AI video’s biggest headaches. And Google added generative visuals to Slides, giving your presentations serious upgrade potential.
From education to creativity to productivity, AI’s coming for it all.
Let's explore the details.
📌 In This Issue:
🔹 TL;DR:
OpenAI just launched Academy, a free platform to teach people how to use and understand AI. They’re offering workshops, videos, and global programs, all open access.
🔸 Our Take:
This isn’t just a PR move. It’s OpenAI trying to future-proof the talent pipeline. If you’re new to AI or need your team trained fast, this is the best zero-cost resource out there right now.
🔹 TL;DR:
Runway’s latest model, Gen-4, makes character consistency across video shots actually usable. You can control subjects, motion, and lighting from a single reference image and prompt.
🔸 Our Take:
This changes the game for creators. Runway just removed the #1 excuse people had for not using AI video in real productions. If you're in content, ads, or media, try it before your competitors do.
🔹 TL;DR:
Google added Imagen 3, its best text-to-image model, directly into Slides. Now you can generate presentation visuals without leaving your doc.
🔸 Our Take:
The days of hunting for stock photos are numbered. If you build decks weekly, this could save hours. But more importantly, it makes your ideas look pro without a designer.
You’ve heard the hype. It’s time for results.
After two years of siloed experiments, proofs of concept that fail to scale, and disappointing ROI, most enterprises are stuck. AI isn't transforming their organizations — it’s adding complexity, friction, and frustration.
But Writer customers are seeing positive impact across their companies. Our end-to-end approach is delivering adoption and ROI at scale. Now, we’re applying that same platform and technology to build agentic AI that actually works for every enterprise.
This isn’t just another hype train that overpromises and underdelivers. It’s the AI you’ve been waiting for — and it’s going to change the way enterprises operate. Be among the first to see end-to-end agentic AI in action. Join us for a live product release on April 10 at 2pm ET (11am PT).
