When I first started exploring AI tools, I noticed that most people only talk about the obvious options, the ones everyone has already heard of. But what’s more interesting to me are the new AI tools that are just beginning to make an impact on research, writing, and learning. In this video, I share some of the platforms that have been quietly shaping the way academics, researchers, and students think about productivity. I believe it’s important to understand not only what these ai apps can do, but also why some institutions are nervous about them.

▼ ▽ MY TOP SELLING COURSE ▼ ▽
▶ Become a Master Academic Writer With AI using my course: https://academy.academiainsider.com/c...

I want to be clear: my approach is not about telling you what to think, but about giving you space to reflect on how technology changes the way we work. Some of these programs are marketed as the best ai tools for academic tasks, while others remain in the background because they raise difficult questions about authorship, originality, and fairness. As I’ve traveled and spoken to students, teachers, and researchers, I’ve found that curiosity is always higher than fear—people want to experiment with new technology, even if rules haven’t caught up yet.

If you’re looking for ai tools for students, you might already know the basics, but this video goes a step further. It asks whether it’s possible to use AI responsibly while still enjoying the time-saving advantages that these systems bring. I don’t think there’s a single answer to that question, but I do think students and academics should be part of the conversation, not just observers.

For me, these ai apps are not just shortcuts; they’re also invitations to rethink what learning and research can look like. Whether you’re starting a PhD, managing coursework, or exploring technology for your own curiosity, the future belongs to those who understand how to balance opportunity with responsibility. I hope this video helps you think about that balance and perhaps even discover tools you hadn’t considered before.

CNN senior reporter Matt Egan explains “job hugging,” a new trend where workers are staying on their jobs longer due to worries about losing their jobs and are less confident about new employment. #CNN #News

Humanity has endured ice ages, plagues, and world wars yet the threat that may finally undo us is quiet, creeping, and entirely our own doing. Birthrates are plummeting. Climate disasters are escalating. AI is reshaping the job market. And an entire generation is beginning to ask: What’s the point?

In today’s episode of The Infographics Show, we explore a chilling possibility: What if the next generation isn’t just facing hard times... but is the last generation altogether?

TYT is the largest online news network in the country. It presents news, context and analysis. We have dozens of on-air hosts on half a dozen major channels on almost all the platforms. We also have a live 24-hour news channel that features all our shows.

The Young Turks is the flagship show of the TYY Network. The Young Turks is the longest running daily show in internet history. We’re about to celebrate our 20th anniversary as a digital native show. We are also the first ever YouTube partner channel. So, we are the original YouTubers.

On the network, we do things a little differently than other places. We present the news first, with all of the facts and context you need, which is a rarity in commentary-heavy online shows. We then also give analysis and perspective, which is rare in traditional news.

Our commentary and perspective are almost always on the left, but we have an enormous range of opinions on the network. Hosts are allowed to think and say whatever they like. Perspectives usually range from the far left to the center of the political spectrum.

Now, our presence and range is large enough that we are adopting the tagline The Online News Network. Our longevity, our 27 million subscribers and 30 billion lifetime views allows us to make this claim confidently.

TYT emphasizes open-minds and open-hearts. We believe in fighting for the average American. We believe in challenging the powerful. We are vigilant about pursuing the truth to the best of our abilities and for always being honest with our audience. We’ve been proud to serve the internet for longer than any other news show or network. As one of the founding fathers and mothers of online media, we have always believed that digital media would become the dominant news source for all Americans. We’re thrilled that day is here and that TYT is where everyone can come to see The Online News Network.

Liz & Gabe video:    • Fighting Back Against Project 2025  

On the world stage, US President Trump casts himself as a peacemaker - most recently by rolling out the red carpet for Russia’s President Putin. But at home, he’s showing ever more autocratic tendencies.

He’s moving to give the National Guard greater authority in Washington, D.C., and to station armed troops in other American cities. At the same time, he and his party are redrawing electoral districts to lock in power, while critics face mounting pressure or dismissal. How do these hardline domestic maneuvers square with his peace-focused diplomacy abroad? Is it a striking contradiction? On To the Point we ask: Peace abroad, troops at home: Is Trump flirting with dictatorship?

Thousands of US troops are on warships heading to Venezuela’s coast. President Donald Trump says the move is part of his administration’s fight against drug cartels that the US has labelled terrorist organizations. In response, Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro has ordered troops to the border and called on citizens to mobilize to defend the country. Is Trump’s aggressive move about fighting drugs or a signal of broader US intervention?

• Maintains brand consistency across multiple formats
• Perfect for small teams without design resources

I watched Logan turn a Google Pixel into a stunning urban mural ad in SECONDS!

3) Image Editing Capabilities

Forget complex Photoshop workflows:

• Natural language editing ("remove the logo")
• Multi-turn edits without quality degradation
• Precise area selection for targeted changes
• Apply filters and effects with simple prompts

The key? Be SPECIFIC with your instructions - treat it like working with a creative partner who needs clear direction.

4) Building Custom Tools

The real power comes from "vibe coding" your own apps:

• Create custom filters and editing tools
• Build product visualization experiences
• Design interactive content from static images
• Develop specialized marketing generators

Logan showed an example where his girlfriend used a custom app to preview 37 different curtain colors in her office before buying!

5) Three Levels of Using the Model

There's an entry point for EVERYONE:

Level 1: Simple chat interface for basic prompting
Level 2: Pre-built "vibe coded" apps in the Build tab
Level 3: Create your own custom applications

"The number of people who know this model exists and are building with it is limited. If you're early to the wave, there's a competitive advantage." - Logan

6) Business Opportunities

The market is WIDE OPEN for products built on this tech:

• Content remixing tools for the billions of unused photos on our phones
• Custom marketing asset generators for small businesses
• Product visualization for e-commerce
• Home design visualization tools

Most consumers haven't seen anything like this - showing them will "blow their minds."

7) Getting Started Today

What does it mean to “trade margin for moat,” in the AI era – and how are Fortune 500s actually adopting AI today?

In this episode, a16z partner Joe Schmidt sits down with Ben Scharfstein, Head of Product, Enterprise Applications at Scale AI, to explore the nuances of forward-deployed engineering and its impact on enterprise AI adoption. They discuss why enterprise AI adoption lagged behind consumer excitement, the roles of integration and UX, and the strategic importance of customization.

Key insights include the balance between vertical AI products and custom enterprise solutions, the evolving nature of software services vs. agent-enabled solutions, and the critical role of saying 'no' in AI go-to-market strategies.

What exactly is an AI agent, and how will agents change the way we work?

In this episode, a16z general partners Erik Torenberg and Martin Casado sit down with Aaron Levie (CEO, Box) and Steven Sinofsky (a16z board partner; former Microsoft exec) to unpack one of the hottest debates in AI right now.

They cover:
Competing definitions of an “agent,” from background tasks to autonomous interns
Why today’s agents look less like a single AGI and more like networks of specialized sub-agents
The technical challenges of long-running, self-improving systems
How agent-driven workflows could reshape coding, productivity, and enterprise software
What history — from the early PC era to the rise of the internet — tells us about platform shifts like this one

The conversation moves from deep technical questions to big-picture implications for founders, enterprises, and the future of work.

Matt Wolfe (https://x.com/mreflow) is joined by Mustafa Suleyman (https://x.com/mustafasuleyman), legendary AI innovator, co-founder of DeepMind, former founder of Inflection AI, and now CEO of Microsoft AI, where he’s leading the massive Copilot transformation.
This episode unpacks the myths around AI’s “training wall,” whether hallucinations are actually a feature instead of a bug, the dawn of the agentic era—where AIs don’t just chat, but plan and act for you—and the shifting landscape for software builders as anyone can ship products in minutes. Mustafa also shares firsthand stories and practical advice for leveraging today’s AI—from offloading tasks to agents THIS WEEK, to why moats aren’t about headcount or credentials in the new era.
