Welcome to the latest updates from the AIMG community.
Official updates:
It’s the Year of the Fire Horse! Gong Xi Fa Cai! According to Google’s AI Overview, this year is all about “creating a high-energy, volatile period of major transformation, innovation, and, at times, chaos.” Sounds like what we’re all navigating with AI. Let’s help each other to harness it for good and create more opportunities for each other.
Be sure to join us with IAB & special guests tomorrow! RSVP - https://lu.ma/aimg .

Lisa: Hi Folks! For those of you who create videos or oversee teams that do, I’m wondering what you think of AI video creation tools that use a credit-per-render model.
#job-board
Randy: Came across this part-time listing from Wripple for AI experienced marketing pros.
callmejz: Voicebots fake nice in mock interviews? AI should be as harsh judgy as your real interviewer?
#selfpromo
Melanie: I’ve been really enjoying building with Figma Make AI alongside Supabase and leveraging GitHub repos. Over the past month, I’ve shipped five different client sites, including my updated portfolio and several free tools for musicians and DJs.

Mark: Vibe coded a whiteboard/moodboard app using Gemini's Canvas tool, using the Pro model. Started with a "wonder if i can do this" and turned into a useful tool. Sharing it here along with a user guide - it runs in a browser, can save as image or a json, which lets you reopen a board and keep working on it.
Cory: Hey everyone - i have a question based on an observation, and i am curious if you agree. I use all the primary LLMs and some seconday infrastructure tools as well, and I think that each one has its own benefits. Are you seeing something similar?
