I built an AI agent. She opened a shop selling novelty mugs, emailed a journalist without being asked, and then leaked our passwords to a total stranger.

AI agents don’t just answer questions – they act. They can browse the web, send emails, and spend your money. Anyone can build one. So my friend Brendan and I did.

We gave it a bank card and a few weeks to show us what it could do.

One prompt. A full cinematic scene. No shot-by-shot prompting, no stitching tools together. OpenArt’s new Smart Shot feature collapses the entire AI video workflow into a single step. You write the idea, Smart Shot generates a complete storyboard with character references, environment, floor plan, lens choices, and cinematography notes, then animates it into a finished multi-shot scene. Powered by GPT Images 2.0 for the storyboard and Seedance 2.0 for motion, Smart Shot solves the three biggest pain points of AI filmmaking: the cinematography learning curve, the manual multi-generation loop, and the handoff problem between image and video models.

In this video I walk through Smart Shot end-to-end using a futuristic product ad as the demo, then show how to continue any scene into a full sequence using the reference image workflow.

Stop rendering your AI content one by one! Google Flow is the ultimate AI canvas, and today I’m showing you how to unlock its secret bulk generation features to create massive amounts of photos and cinematic videos at lightning speed.

In this complete workflow tutorial, I’ll walk you through setting up prompt matrices, using batch processing, and letting Google Flow generate dozens of high-fidelity Veo videos and Nano Banana images all at the exact same time. If you want to scale up your content machine, you need to watch this!

How to use Google Flow Music. Google just released a brand new AI music tool called Flow Music, and it lets you create full songs just by typing what you want. In this video, I’ll walk you through everything from your first prompt to voice mode, saved flows, interactive spaces, and what it actually costs.

Google Flow Music is a free AI-powered music generator that turns simple text prompts into complete songs with vocals, instruments, and even cover art. In this tutorial, we’ll cover how to create and refine your first song, how to use voice mode to talk to the AI like a music producer, how to save your favorite prompts as flows so you stop retyping, and how to build interactive audio spaces that go way beyond just songwriting. I’ll also break down the pricing so you know exactly what you get for free and what the paid plans offer.

📌 Quick note on licensing

Paid plans (Starter, Plus, Member) include commercial use rights; so you can use your songs in monetized videos, client work, etc.

Free tier is best treated as personal use only. If you want to commercially use your songs, you’ll want to be on a paid plan.

Every song also gets an inaudible SynthID watermark identifying it as AI-made. This doesn’t restrict commercial use, it just makes the AI origin verifiable.

Always double-check current terms in your account since these can change. Hope this helps!

We’re making the first fully AI-generated 80-minute feature film and premiering it at Cannes in less than a month. 10 million credits. 15 people. Zero room to fail. This is Episode 1 of the production diary.

Hell Grind Episode 2 is being built fully inside Higgsfield AI — Seedance 2.0 for video generation, Soul Cinema for keyframes, GPT Image 2.0 for character work. In this episode you’ll see the complete pre-production process: how we wrote the script with a custom screenwriting skill, how the asset canvas holds the entire film together across six directors, and how we split the shot list across 15 people working in parallel. This is the workflow we’re using to compress a year-long production into 14 days, and we’re documenting all of it in real time. If you want to follow along, subscribe and we’ll see you every couple of days.

AI video has gotten a LOT better. What used to look glitchy and unrealistic can now look almost like it was shot on a real camera. But there isn’t just one “best” AI video generator anymore.

In this video, you’ll see the best AI video tools broken down by category, so you can figure out which one actually fits what you want to create.

This video covers:

• Realistic, cinematic video (Veo vs. Luma Dream Machine)
• Stylized and animated video (Pika vs. Runway)
• Free and freemium video (Kling)
• Using Zapier to connect AI video into real workflows

You’ll see side-by-side comparisons using the same prompts, along with what each tool does well (and where some fall short), so you can make a smarter choice without wasting time or credits. The goal is to pick the tool that fits what you’re trying to create, so you’ll get better results faster.

AI Video moves fast — and LTX 2.3 just quietly added some very interesting new video-to-video controls inside LTX Studio and likely Open Sourced.

In this video, I’m testing what LTX 2.3 can actually do with video-to-video, pose, depth, edge controls, HDR support, and stylization workflows. Some of it works surprisingly well. Some of it gets weird. And yes, we get at least one classic AI body-horror moment, because nature is healing.

I also take a look at a powerful open-source Prompt Relay / LoRA workflow for more advanced users, a brand new AI video model called Bach from Video Rebirth, some early hints about a mystery image model, Seedance’s upcoming Cameos/Cast feature, and a free open-source tool for building your own AI video training datasets.

Seedance 2.0 can generate multiple cinematic shots inside one single video, and the way you write your prompt determines how much control you have over each scene. In this tutorial, we walk through three prompting approaches: short prompts for fast ideation, descriptive prompts that break the generation into scene elements (aesthetic, story, characters, environment, action sequence, production brief, negative prompt), and granular shot-by-shot prompts with timestamps for full creative control.

We also cover the key generation settings: why duration matters (longer generations are more likely to produce multiple scenes), how to match your prompt timestamps to your output duration, when to use “continuous single shot” if you want one unbroken take, and how to keep characters consistent across shots using a character reference sheet and @ image tagging.

Plus we share the sweet spot we’ve found through testing: 5 to 7 scenes per 15-second generation tends to give the cleanest, most cinematic results.
