[0:00] There's now a way for you to build apps, any app you want, right from your computer and use it instantly for free. ChatGPT just came out with a better voice interface, but you need to watch out for one thing with it. There's now a new way for you to edit videos just by texting and asking it for it. It is amazing, it is free, it's all part of what's launched this week. Let's get

[0:19] into it. Presented by Zapier, the AI automation company. Here's an app that will make any app for you right on the desktop. Unfortunately, it's Mac only, but it works beautifully and if it's from a company we know, Raycast, you come up with an idea for an app, it puts it right there in your dock, makes it work for you, and even allows you to make it available on their marketplace for other

[0:41] people. What do you think of this one? I think this one is awesome. Raycast is a really cool tool in and of itself, so when I saw it was from the makers of Raycast, I knew it was going to be legit. Um, this is, you know, we've seen a million different app builders out there, but this is the first one that I've seen where you can build apps specifically for the Mac desktop. I've already got a ton of ideas on what I'm going to do here in terms of testing this out. I think this is awesome. This

[1:06] is my favorite one this week, for sure. Really exciting. Really exciting. All right, let's go on to the next one. People probably have seen this, but I think it's worth a closer look. ChatGPT voice can reason through harder problems and search the web for up-to-date information. Now, let me show you. Okay, I'm giving a lecture in 30

[1:25] minutes on the history of sound. Okay. Okay, can you fact-check my dates? Sure. Scott de Martinville's phonautograph in 1857, Edison's tin foil phonograph in 1865, and Berliner's gramophone in 1887. I'll check those right now. Okay, and while you're looking, can you find out if there are any delays in the six I'm just going to pause it there. Um, it just goes on like this. The interesting thing is two things. First, it fact-checked her and got it right, and second, she keeps interrupting the the AI, which I've always appreciated that ChatGPT is good at handling back and forth conversations, but now it is way better. You can interrupt it, you

[2:03] can have a real conversation with it, it can interrupt you. And in the past when I've had conversations with ChatGPT and I needed a moment to think, I would say something like, "Okay, and I'm just going to think. I'm going to keep thinking. I'm going to keep thinking." just to stop it from cutting me off. Really good. There are a few other features I want to show. What are your

[2:17] first impressions of this? I feel like this might be the unlock that makes voice agents really viable inside businesses. Because think about it, that was always that's always a sticking point when you're talking to a voice agent on behalf of a business. It it it either cuts you off or you cut it off and then you kind of get stuck in this loop of like, "Uh uh uh." You know, it's like you're So, it if that is more or less solved, which it looks like it is, then I think that's a I think this is a bigger breakthrough than people

[2:45] probably realize for that very reason. They have so many incredible use cases. The best one is language. If you're trying to learn a language, it will cut you off and say, "Actually, you asked me to correct you. I'm going to correct you on what you just said." Oh, yeah, that's I love that. Um so, this is in the ChatGPT app. It is rolling out now. I also like in addition to voice and being able to cut you off and really doing that that natural sound, it will do images. I've always hated that I could either do voice or images. Some things like weather like this, you want a a

[3:13] screenshot. You want an image to show it to you and now it will do both. Having said all this, there is one thing I want to point out. This is from Husk. He gave it the classic test. Let's listen in. [clears throat] Natural. How are you? Hey, I'm all right. How's your day going?

[3:32] Good. Was this natural? Yeah, this still feels like a natural back and forth. No, it doesn't. You double check that. I just wanted to make sure. Um hey, can you tell me how many e's are in the number 17? Two e's. One in seven and one in team. And you're really smart, right? Pretty sharp. Yeah, it's it it hasn't been as quick in his test and obviously it's still making these classic mistakes. I'll leave it out there for people to see. Um let's

[4:05] move on to the next one. This is from 11 Labs. They now are adding music and they're doubling down on it with version two, which gives you better music. I also like that you can go in and use it for free. Obviously, once you go in and download it, they want you to start paying. $6 a month is

[4:21] the is the cheapest that you can pay. They also now have a marketplace where if you create a music that somebody wants to use for commercial purposes, they could come and do it. But I want you all to see how easy it is. I basically just prompted it. I said, "Create a short rock and hip-hop combination song. Make it about how

[4:37] Corey and I do our weekly YouTube show." You haven't heard this, Corey. I'm going to hit play. Tell me what you think. Tune in to YouTube, click [music] that link. We show the apps before you can even think. Corey's on the mechanics, breaking [music] down the code. Andrew's at the wheel, lighting up the road. From prompt engineering [music] to the latest model drop. We find the gold standard,

[4:57] yeah, we never stop. [laughter] It's so funny cuz I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know if it was going to be like a rap song or like a rock song or what, but I mean the it's again, I think with AI-generated music, like it's already there. You cannot tell what songs are real and what are AI-generated. Aside you know, that is if you don't know who the artist is. So, it's it's already come so far and I think it's just going to continue to kind of blur the lines between what's AI-generated and what's real at this

[5:23] point. And I like that this is from 11 Labs because first of all, I love Suno. I love that app. I've used it a lot. If you want to remember something, you just feed it in as a prompt and you say, "Make me a song about it." While you're going into a meeting, it was playing the song so you remember the things you want to go into remember. I've gone to dinner with people and I need to know their kids' names, their wife's name, things like that. I put it all in the song and then I have it in my mind by the time I

[5:47] get there and some catchy song. never thought to do that. Really good. If you are doing business with someone to create a quick like 15 second, 20 second song that you send over to them that they hit play on, it puts a smile on their face, and it gets them prepared to work with you. There a lot of really interesting use cases for this. What I like about 11 Labs is they're very good about their API, so you can integrate it into workflows and bring it in. Um and then of course now it's cheaper, and they've got their own little spin on things with the

[6:14] marketplace. All right, next. This is from Willow. All of us are now using voice dictation. You hit a button on your computer or your phone, and you talk into it and it types. Most people are using WhisperFlow, which is 15 bucks a month. Other products are priced similarly. This is a free uh option from Willow. What they're doing is they're taking their tool, and they're making it free for Windows, iOS, and Mac. I know I've talked about uh what is it what is the other one? Um Fluid Voice, which is available for free. This one is both Mac and Windows, and they have an iOS. And

[6:48] their model is to give you a very good first free version, and then if you want to upgrade, you can pay. What do you think? any Yeah, I think any any um WhisperFlow competitor is kind of forced to do something to steal market share. I mean, I feel like WhisperFlow is like the, you know, 800 lb gorilla in the room at this point. So for Willow to compete, like I had never heard of them until you showed

[7:11] me today. So for to try to get me to switch to Whisper from WhisperFlow to them, if they were offering a paid plan, like it was just going to be impossible. So I think by them offering essentially the same service for free, that's them trying to kind of grab that market share away. I think the jury's out on the quality.

[7:28] Like you've tried it, right? I've tried it. You say that quality is very similar. it better than WhisperFlow. I like their I like it better than WhisperFlow. I actually but I I have a thing I hate WhisperFlow. I think WhisperFlow for all of their money and attention really has not added enough features. It's just it's it's kind of stupid. And anyway, I found this to be super fast and I've used it for a very long time. I like it. If you're out there looking for a free tool, this is it. Go use it. They just announced this week that they are free. Next drop of the week. Oh, Stanley

[7:58] Studio. This one only made it to number three on Product Hunt. I'm still pulling it in for today because what's cool about this is you drop your videos into their editor, then you talk and tell it how to edit. How many people are impressed can turn this video around so quickly and edit it? They want to be able to do the same thing. If you don't have a team the way that we do here, you can now just go and talk into it. It's not going to be as good as a team, but it's going to be damn good. I did it myself earlier today. I just basically

[8:24] did these two shots in and here's the prompt that I used. Edit out the ums and dead space. Here's what it looks Here's what the original sound like. my first clip and I um hmm and I'm testing out new software. So now that's what I did in the beginning. Now watch without the ums and This is my first clip and and I'm

[8:41] testing out new software called Stanley. I'm seeing mixed feedback on Stanley. A lot of people say that it is amazing to be able to edit with a text instead of a timeline, but some people are also saying that it's not really as full featured as they like it to be. I I by the way here in the second video, I um went in one direction then I said, "No, actually it's not the right direction." And I corrected myself and it did it. It chopped off that part that was the wrong the wrong thing. Very good. And yes, it

[9:09] doesn't have a lot of features here. Like I can't color correct. Notice how I left the blinds up and so my face is really washed out. wondering about the lighting, yeah. [snorts] I just quickly went in and edited it and um if I did use a full featured editor, I could I could do this. I could fix it a little bit. Here I can. What do you

[9:25] think? So I think this is a a feature or not even a feature, but like a tool that I feel like so many companies have tried to get this right where you can just prompt to edit video in a simple manner. And you would think it was a pretty easy order, right? But apparently it's not. So, for Stanley to what looks like get this right and make it free, I think is huge. I mean, I think Dscript is probably the closest thing that we have to this, but that's I mean it's not a cheap tool. I mean the starter Dscript plan I think is like $24 per user per

[9:57] month. So, if all you need is just a quick little like, you know, especially if you're doing a lot of short form or like clips, kind of like an editing tool, I think this is probably the one that you This is your go-to. Do they have limits in terms of like size of video or number of clips? Or I mean

[10:12] there's not even a place to pay, right? Like there's no subscription a place to pay as far as I can see. I have not seen anything about limits of any kind in here. Um I It's still It's still very new. It just hit Product Hunt to this week, and like I said, it made it into number three. Um [clears throat] So, I'm not going to say this is the greatest. I will say the fact that it doesn't have all those features, I think is a is a benefit. I have Dscript, which can do this. I have CapCut Premium, which can do parts of this. This is just

[10:44] straight-up easy, does the work, and we'll have a link to it because as you saw, Corey, I got confused with how to even find it just to load up the page earlier. It's not It's not even on their homepage as far as I can see. We'll have a link over to it. Okay, next. A popular product now is going more mobile. This is from Claude. They now have co-work on the phone, or do they now have it? It's kind of rolling out. Even Rob, the AI guy who did a really good breakdown of this, which we'll link to, he wasn't able to get access to this. He

[11:14] showed some of the other new features in co-work, like the fact that co-work is now integrated into uh Claude just side-by-side with chat, the way that you can do more of it in the cloud, not just on on your computer. I think those are all interesting. The mobile part is what I'm waiting for. Here is him talking

[11:29] about it. Because as we could see right here, it is going to be able to follow you and this is exactly what this is going to look like. When you come into Coda work on your phone right here, you're going to be able to see all, you're going to be able to see what's ready for review, you're going to be able to see what actually needs input. And this makes life way easier because again, the work does not stop now. You have Coda working 24/7 and one thing that I would strongly suggest that you now do is begin to schedule out a bunch of tasks for when

[11:52] you're not working. Let's say that you work from 9:00 to 5:00, you should be scheduling out tasks like getting briefs, finding things, doing work for you from your phone anytime and you could get that to happen off All right, I'm going to pause it here. This is the exact thing that I was doing yesterday from my phone. I was getting a haircut and I needed to get a list of like pro pa uh products that launched this week so that I can talk about them with you today. And what I did was I did remote access from my phone to my desktop. I basically had my big or

[12:26] laptop big laptop screen on a small iPhone. I was navigating cuz I wanted it to work in the background. That's the kind of pain in the butt that this is here to solve. I think it makes a lot of sense. And the other thing that he talked about is you constantly when you're using Coda work, you're asked to approve and respond to a question and do ba ba ba. And you have to come back to the to the to the desktop to do it. Now it's all going to be right here for you

[12:47] to respond to on mobile. I think it's about freaking time they did something like this. I mean, I think we're going to look back in two years and be like, "Can you believe that we lived in a world where you were you were running your Coda work and your Coda X instances had to be through your computer like you could run them on your phone, but it had to be through your computer like your computer

[13:06] had to be on." Right. In my mind, that's going to be so prehistoric in like two years time. And the fact that they've now merged chat and Coda work into a a single chat um you know, interface and now it looks like your projects are merged as well. It's like why like why did that take so long? To me, [snorts] that was a much needed feature. Like having to duplicate my Claude Chat projects to Co-work just seemed an insane, like, why is that even a thing? And then having to explain that to clients, it's like, oh, well, the chat project is this and the Co-work project is this. Like,

[13:39] it just the whole thing was so convoluted. And they've made a I think that these are steps to make it a lot simpler. Co-work on the phone is going to be, I think, huge for me and for a lot of people are going to use it even more than we already do. Yeah, it's they're basically coming for

[13:53] like open claw and Hermes in some way. All right. Next, check this out. This is from April 2026. It will take until May to be close to Opus 4.6 and June to match and maybe exceed. Short time by normal standards, but long time in the AI arena. That's what he said. And I like how this guy says, bro literally predicted this. And sure enough, Elon Musk retweeted and he said, our initial internal assessment our internal assessment is that Grok 4.5, which just launched this week, which is why we're talking about it, is roughly comparable to Opus 4.7, but much

[14:27] faster. And many people are saying that he's under selling it, that it actually is much better than that, right? [snorts] That's what it seems like, yeah. That seems to be the sentiment is like it's almost as good if not as good as Opus 4.8 and it's way cheaper. Like, that's what everybody I've seen on the timeline, that's kind of what they're

[14:44] saying. Yeah. So, all the everything I'm seeing is like, you know, never bet against Elon, like, never count him out. Grok's going to be a frontier model by the end of the year with, you know, the Cursor acquisition and all the compute that they have access to. I mean, it it makes sense. So, I think this is a huge win for for Elon and for xAI and I think it's going to

[15:04] continue to compound for them, too. The power, it's really nice to see now, to see a new color here on the benchmarks, to see how well they're doing compared to others. And the context window is big, and I also want to point out, like you said, this is Theo. The price. Now, I want to talk about the price. Grok 4.5 is $2 per million tokens in and $6 per million tokens out. That makes it comically cheaper than a lot of competing models. For example, Fable is $10 per million tokens in and 50 per million tokens out. Between 5 and almost

[15:43] 10x the cost. Yeah, I think more and more people will be using this. Though there there challenge is that we're thinking now about Fable 5 and then maybe an open AI's 5.5. And then we're thinking of Chinese models. We're not even thinking about Grok cuz it goes from super expensive to almost free. The in-between comically

[16:06] cheap is just getting ignored, right? [snorts] Yeah, that's a good point. It's like up to this point that a lot of the open-source models are so good like the GLM 52's of the world that it's like why would you go in between when you could get you know, almost as good as frontier for comically cheap. And now Grok is

[16:24] kind of closing that gap like you said. So, I think it's good to have a another competitor in the field. I hope they get better. All right. Next, speaking of another competitor, I said GPT 5.5, but today 5.6 launches and we're starting to see some benchmarks. We're starting to see people talk about where it is better. This is Terminal Bench putting it up ahead of

[16:46] Mythos 5 and Fable 5, of course. This is Dan Shipper who's had it Oh, wait, where is Dan Shipper? Here we go. He's had it I think for about a month. GPT 5.6 is much better writer than Fable and I know that he is huge on good writing and consistently one-shots marketing email emails that every previous model would fail at. Fable is too verbose and liable to fall into using sentences in its own private language. If you use AI for writing, 5.6 is a fantastic model. And he had this other analogy that I don't know if it really makes sense, but it gives me a taste of

[17:22] what's coming up. GPT 5.6 is like a Porsche, Fable is like warp drive. We've been testing internally at every for about a month. GPT 5.6 is the best combination of power, speed, and performance for your day-to-day knowledge work and coding. Fable is a different beast. If you need to get across the galaxy, use Fable. If you need to get around town, use the best available tool for the job. So, it seems like he's saying, "Look, this is going

[17:42] to be the day-to-day thing that you use. Fable is what you pay extra when you really have a big job that needs to get done fast." Am I Am I picking up on it right? [snorts] Yeah, that seems to be kind of the sentiment of what he's trying to get across there. And what I think is interesting, the the previous tweet from him where he talked about 5.6 being a

[18:00] much better writer writer than Fable. So, honestly, what's kept me largely in the Anthropic ecosystem is the fact that Claude has always historically been a better writer than the OpenAI models. That's so much of what I use it for is creating content, you know, landing pages, marketing copy, all these things. But if 5.6 is better, then there's really not a whole lot keeping me in Claude code or in co-work when I could just use Codex, right? So, um it's going to be really interesting for me to kind of test them side by side and see which one is actually the better writer. But I think it's good that

[18:35] Claude has some competition with with that specific use case now cuz forever it was there was no competition with writing. Uh yeah, I I keep both accounts. I I think I'm going to be $100 on each. $100 on Fable. I have right now. Yeah, 100 on Codex. And then I have the like the $6.25 account on GLM 5.2, and that is just

[18:57] have. We have the exact same, yeah. Might as well. It's super cheap, and you can throw a bunch of stuff at it. I do find that GLM 5.2 from their own servers rate limits me in the moment. Like it I just I can get a lot over the week, but I can't get a lot done in their small

[19:13] window uh within within the day. I find that that's kind of a pain. All right, let's go glad that someone else has said that because same exact experience here. Like, we can get a ton of mileage out of it over the course of the week, but yesterday I was building my uh like a speed to lead Hermes agent. Right. And I've got it running a cron job every 30

[19:30] minutes to check inbound leads. And, you know, it'll run fine, then 2 hours in it'll get rate limited for the next two runs, and then it's fine the rest of the day. It's like Then you can't count on it. do you can't do short bursts of work, but you can do extended amount of work over the course of the week is what it

[19:46] seems like. I hate that I can't count on it. It's just so frustrating. Um This is uh the thing we're going to close on. You want to talk about what this is? Yeah, I think this one's really cool. So, I've seen a ton of these uh videos on mainly on LinkedIn, but it's, you know, people showing like a little screen share video of the Claude prompt box where they're typing in a prompt or they're typing in a you know, they're they're kind of just demoing basically

[20:12] demoing a workflow. And when I see them, I'm like there's no way that these people are every day run it going in and like running these workflows and recording it. I'm like there's got to be this has to be AI generated and they're using some sort of video editor to facilitate that. And so, what Ole said, he's like, "Yeah, I was able to basically generate this little short clip of the Claude prompt window using Claude code by just giving it one screenshot of the Claude chat interface

[20:37] and then giving it the five prompts." So, that to me I think is cool because it unlocks some use cases around these cool little like interactive videos where you're teaching people specific prompts or how to build skills or just how to use Claude. Like, that is the most popular and most engaging content on LinkedIn by far right now in the AI space. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So, this is Again, I thought it was cool cuz I'm in that world, but other people might not might not so much, but I think it's

[21:04] really cool. All right. I will say this. I think we should just give the mission statement here a little bit about what's going on. I think that the world is changing in such an exciting and to be honest to some people also a scary way. I think the people who are watching this are the excited group. The people who are saying, "What? I can now edit with just text? I could take a video and just have Claude create it for me? I could do all this? I could do all that? Tell me more. I want to know what superpowers are being given to me every week. I

[21:32] can't keep up with it." That's the the group of people that we are talking to. Those are our tribe. That's who we're looking for. If that's you, don't just comment. Find ways to get at us. I'll tell you my email address is hi@thenextnewthing.ai. I want to hear from you. Um a lot of people have been asking to get on calls. I don't want to get on a bunch of calls, but I do want to get to know you. And so, let's start with text and see where it goes. We are in an excited moment and the best messages that we've gotten I I don't know about

[21:57] you, but I find that the best ones Corey are from people who say, "I built this. Now what? I built this. Let me show it to you." Or here's another cool thing. [snorts] 100%. I agree completely. And guys, feel free to reach out to me directly. Best place to do that is on X. DM me there. I respond to pretty much If if your DM is sensible, I will respond. I'm @CoreyGanam on X. And like Andrew said, like send us things you've actually built. We'd love to feature people that have built cool things. Things that are useful. Things that the audience can actually use. I don't care if you have

[22:26] one follower or if you have a million followers. If it's a cool tool, if we feel like it's useful, we'll feature it. So, send it to us and we will see you guys next week. Yeah. And if you want more videos like this or more tools like this, there's a link right here. Watch our our the

[22:39] collection.
