🏠 AI

The Dream Machine!

Last week we talked about Kling, and this week Luma AI dropped their free AI video generator, Dream Machine. You can create videos from just a text prompt or a still image.

And this time there is no waiting list.

Now even memes are becoming videos -

People are even creating music videos with it -

This rapid acceleration in AI video generation tools is opening up new possibilities for content creation across various industries. As these tools become more sophisticated and fine tuned, we will see a surge in AI-generated videos in the near future.

Hire the best assistants for half the price

Much of the work you do can and should be delegated to an assistant. Assistants—the good ones, at least—can also replace many folks on your team, and they cost less and work harder. Pearl Talent is where you find them. Because they vet talent more aggressively than anyone else. For context, they look for perfect English, modern software skills, and reliability—and they put candidates through rigorous skill screenings. The sorts of stuff you should be delegating:

• Handling support and sales emails

• Tax preparation

• Creating professional social media content

• Building process documentation

• Managing partnership requests and client emails

They have a 87% one-year success rate. That is high. You can book a call with them here.
