Howdy, fellow creatives!
Welcome to our issue #2. Yay! It’s Monday and we want to start the week with energy and with a hog-killing time: what about a recap of last week’s news highlights, new tools, and tones of creativity?
Don’t you feel is the Wild West out there? A lot of things happening in the race to conquer, but what? Model, product releases, companies not fast enough to answer on the usage of AI within their workforces, regulations in the making… The Good, the Bad & the Ugly, choose your own adventure and characters.
This last week we took time to explore AI tools for creating presentations. We tried a bunch and this week we’ll be sharing some insights to share what we’ve learned. Stay tuned for it, we’ll share it on our Twitter account
Here we ride, with a couple of things that resonated with us last week…
