Hey Friends,
One million people signed up for ChatGPT in a single hour this week! Not a typo.
Why? Because OpenAI finally released their image generation, and it's absolutely bonkers.
But that's just the beginning. Midjourney dropped v7.0 right after, and it's creating images so good they're indistinguishable from photos shot on a $5,000 camera. And now we have 4-6 REALLY REALLY good companies that can take these images and create motion. Then add another layer on top of that - they can add audio.
What we're seeing is video production being completely reinvented. You can create absolutely INCREDIBLE content without any actors, cameras, studios, or production teams. The implications for your business are massive - whether it's creating ads, product demos, training videos, social content - literally the sky's the limit.
I could pack this email with 20+ AI announcements this week, but instead, I'm going to do what I always do: separate the signals from the noise so you can actually apply this stuff to your business and get ahead while everyone else is still playing catch-up.
THE AI SUPER AGENT WARS HAVE BEGUN
What Is An AI Super Agent Anyway?Think of it like this: ChatGPT answers your questions. A Super Agent actually does the work.
It's the difference between: "What are the best flights to Miami?" vs. "Book me the cheapest flight to Miami next weekend, find a cool hotel near South Beach that has good reviews, and add a dinner reservation at that trendy restaurant everyone's talking about."
One gives you information. The other completes the task. And that's where the real gold is.
I Finally Get to Try Manus!
I got this message: "Hi Mike, Thanks for being an early adopter of Manus! Your passion and creativity have been inspiring. Today, we're excited to announce two major updates..."
Their new upgrades since launching look awesome. Manus can now control your entire computer - searching, clicking, typing, and basically doing anything you could do yourself. I'm diving in head-first this week to push it to its limits.
I'll break down exactly what I learn next week.

Meanwhile, Genspark Entered The Chat And Is Making Waves
Genspark AI came out swinging. This thing doesn't just think - it DOES. Instead of operating in a sandbox like other agents, it calls APIs directly when needed. Early tests show it smoking both Manus and OpenAI's Operator.
The craziest part? Genspark isn't just another search engine - it creates "Sparkpages" that pull everything you need into one place instead of making you hunt through a dozen tabs. Founded by ex-Baidu execs, they just raised $60M and already have 2M monthly active users.
People are doing insane stuff with it like:
- Turning 5-hour YouTube rambles into tight slide decks in minutes
- Finding fashion influencers, scraping their contact info, and writing personalized outreach emails without leaving the platform
- Creating research reports that would normally take a team of analysts days

Lindy.ai's "Agent Swarm" Will Melt Your Brain
A few weeks ago, I shared Lindy.ai with you. Well... Lindy just launched "Agent Swarm" which turns one workflow into a multi-agent army running simultaneously. You feed it one event URL, and BOOM - it extracts speaker info, podcasts, quotes, and more all at once.
Check it out here: https://www.lindy.ai/
You Want More?A tiny London startup called @convergence_ai_ just dropped "Parallel Agents" that splits your task into sub-tasks, spins up multiple agents (each in its own browser!), and crushes complex work in seconds. You can literally watch your AI workforce humming along like busy little robots.
IS AI READY TO BUILD YOUR APP?
Someone asked me this week if AI can build their app yet. And honestly? We're like 90% there.
My two go-tos: Replit and Cursor. Both have AI agents that basically pair-program with you. But here's the reality check - within months, ANYONE will be able to build an app. What will set you apart isn't the code - it's having an audience and solving real problems.
For no-code people, check out Bubble and FlutterFlow. But remember this: five years ago, just having an app was impressive. Now it means nothing. You need the audience, you need to test fast and fail faster.
Even Anthropic's founder admitted their biggest learning was speed. You've gotta be like Deep-Seek - launch quickly, move fast, and capture the market before someone else does.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Listen, the competition to build these AI agents is absolutely INSANE right now. We're watching the birth of something that's going to reshape how businesses operate.
In the next 6-12 months, you're going to see entire marketplaces of specialized AI agents. You'll be able to replace a good chunk of what's done in your office today with these things. Customer service, research, content creation, scheduling, data analysis - all of it getting automated.
And it's just getting better. And better. And better.
I can't stress this enough: understanding this stuff from the beginning will give you a MASSIVE advantage in your business. The companies that adapt first will eat everyone else's lunch.
MIKE'S TIME TO NERD OUT
The 30-Day Promise: A Sales Weapon For ANY Business
Here's a big chunk of pure gold for you! I learned this from Harry Dry - one of the top marketing wizards in the world.
You're not just selling a thing, you're selling a timeline of transformation.
This isn't just for SaaS. This works for agency services, consulting, physical products, coaching programs—literally anything. When you sell a guitar, don't just sell the guitar. Sell "Day 1: First chord. Day 5: First song. Day 30: Playing at your family BBQ." When you sell fitness coaching, don't sell "get in shape." Sell "Day 1: Custom meal plan. Day 5: First 5lbs down. Day 30: Need new pants."
Why is this psychological trick so damn powerful?
First, it eliminates the biggest objection people have: uncertainty. Most customers are thinking, "will this actually work for me?" The timeline screams confidence. It says "I've done this so many times, I can literally map out your journey." It's like watching a surgeon who's done 10,000 procedures versus one who's reading the manual. Which one do you want cutting you open?
Second, it creates urgency without being sleazy. It's not "BUY NOW OR THE PRICE TRIPLES!!" Instead, it's "every day you wait is another day you're not at your destination." It sells opportunity cost, which is 10x more powerful than discount FOMO.
Third, it forces YOU to get honest about your offering. Can you really deliver value that fast? If you're still saying "6-12 months until you see results," you've got a product problem, not a marketing problem.
Your competitors are selling features and benefits in a sea of sameness. Meanwhile, you're selling a crystal ball that shows them exactly how their life improves in 30 days. That's not just marketing—that's a damn superpower.---
Alright, that's all I got for ya. Just remember, winners win.
See you next week,
Mike
PS: Next week I'm dropping a really cool tool that archives all my past emails so you can reference them easier, plus a toolbox of all my favorite AI tools.
PPS: Remember this is a two-way street. If you're getting value, pay the tax. Text me, call me, email me with cool things you're seeing. I want to learn from YOU. Share challenges you're facing as well as your wins. The best stuff I share often comes from you guys. This isn't a monologue - it's a conversation between winners.Want add someone cool to this email list? Just let me know and I'll do it!
