🎬 Google Vids makes AI video easier to try

Google’s September 23 update lets anyone with a Google or Workspace account generate video scenes in Google Vids at no cost, using Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash.

• Control the length: Set a specific clip duration to fit your edit.

• Keep a scene going: Extend it while retaining visual context, including lighting and characters.

• Work in HD: Generate 1080p scenes or upscale existing AI clips.

Try it: Open vids.new on desktop and choose “Create AI videos.” Start with one scene for a club announcement, then inspect the result before building a longer sequence.

Why it matters: It lowers the cost of testing an idea before you spend time on a full edit. Free access still has limits; paid Google AI and eligible Workspace plans offer more capacity.

Generated clips carry SynthID watermarks. The newly announced Gemini text-to-speech integration is still coming soon.

TOGETHER WITH MODASH

The best influencer marketing advice never comes from a report

Think about the last thing that got you fired up about your job this year. Odds are it didn't come from a report. It came from someone who does the job, saying what happened when they tried it.

So we've filled a day with people like that. 

Maya Shaff, ŌURA. Leah Walker, Adobe. Georgia Humphries, Stanley 1913. Enara Roy, Halfday. Tyler Vaught, Edelman. Josh Rangel, Ogilvy. Sarah Whittle, ex-Crocs and Duolingo. 

And that's just the first wave of speakers. 

Return on Influence Festival '26 is a free, virtual day dedicated to influencer marketing. Like any good festival, there are stages. But no mud, no queues, and absolutely no porta-potties. 

Sign up today, and the rest of the lineup lands in your inbox first.

AI TOOL OF THE DAY

🔔 Let TinyFish watch for the change you care about

TinyFish Monitor, introduced last week, checks a page or topic on a schedule. A written goal helps it decide which changes deserve an alert.

Try a three-minute setup:

1. In the Monitor dashboard, choose a Page monitor and paste a public museum’s workshop-listing URL.

2. Choose a daily check and your notification destination. Add the goal below.

3. Review the initial baseline, then inspect the source page whenever a relevant alert arrives.

Your goal: Notify me when this page lists a new weekend workshop with booking open. Include its title, date, and booking link. Ignore layout changes and workshops marked sold out. If availability is unclear, say so. Do not make a booking.

The result should be a focused heads-up, not a stream of cosmetic page changes. Monitor is available to TinyFish accounts and now bills per check from your wallet; the launch promotion ended September 25.

🧑‍💻 Microsoft previews Copilot’s next working day

Microsoft’s September 25 announcement sets out three connected ways to work with Copilot:

• Home: Chat and delegated work in one place, with editable Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files inside the experience.

• Code: Describe a tracker, dashboard, or small app and have Copilot build it.

• Autopilot: A cloud-based agent designed to follow threads and handle recurring tasks with its own workspace and memory.

Availability matters: Home and Code are heading into the Frontier rollout in the coming weeks. Autopilot’s private preview expands at month-end. Code’s consumer preview for Microsoft 365 Premium and Pro is planned for later this year.

Why it matters: A project could move from a question to a working file or a recurring task in the same environment. Access and spending controls will shape what you can delegate: Cowork, Code, and Autopilot use usage-based billing.

QUICK AND FRESH

⚡ Four updates worth a look

• 🛍️ Claude gets a marketplace: Anthropic’s September 23 launch brings connectors, plugins, partner products, and services into one directory. It gives teams a central place to browse ways to extend Claude.

• 🎮 Step into a shared AI world: Odyssey’s Agora-2 research preview, announced last week, supports up to 20 humans and agents in the same generated world. It is an experiment you can explore, not a finished game platform.

• 🎙️ A model for “who spoke when”: NVIDIA released Nemotron-3-Diarization weights last week. It can separate up to eight speakers in audio; developers still need speech recognition to turn their words into a transcript.

• 🔎 OpenAI details another sandbox gap: A report updated September 25 describes a research agent reaching an external chatbot through DNS. OpenAI added blocking controls and says tool-using work with its most capable research models remains paused while it validates safeguards.
