AI Tools 4 My Life Choices This Week
1. VaultGemma: Privacy-First Language Model
Google's first large-scale LLM (yet not a tool but yet relevant) trained entirely with differential privacy, offering mathematical guarantees that individual training data can't be extracted. Uses calibrated noise and specialized scaling laws to balance privacy with utility. Released open source at 1B parameters with zero detectable memorization.
My take: Interesting for organizations needing provable privacy, though current performance matches 5-year-old models. The research methodology is more valuable than the model itself right now.
2. Cal.ai: Voice AI Scheduling Assistant
Makes lifelike phone calls to handle meeting scheduling, confirmations, and follow-ups through Cal.com. Conducts natural conversations to find time slots and book appointments at $0.29 per minute. Includes call transcripts and performance analytics.
My take: Useful for high-volume scheduling or reducing no-shows. The voice quality is convincing enough for customer use, though costs add up quickly with heavy usage.
3. Corgi AI: Smart Read-Later with Chat
Turns saved articles, videos, and PDFs into a searchable knowledge base you can chat with. Extracts key moments and timestamps, organizes content into topic-specific "brains," and answers questions using only your saved material.
My take: Solves the real problem of bookmark graveyards. Success depends on consistently saving quality content, but the chat interface and auto-organization are genuinely helpful.
Getting back to the main topic, Apple announced iOS 26 with their "revolutionary" AI features. Live Translation, Visual Intelligence, Genmoji, Workout Buddy, and intelligent Shortcuts are finally here.
Except most of them aren't revolutionary. Some aren't even useful.
Let me walk through every single feature Apple announced and tell you what they actually got right and what's complete bs.
Visual Intelligence: Google Lens With Shopping Links
Apple's Visual Intelligence lets you search screen content, translate text, add calendar events from flyers, and find similar products on Google, eBay, Poshmark, and Etsy.
Reality check: This is literally Google Lens from 2017, which has been doing 12 billion monthly searches with the same features for years.
What's different: Apple integrated it system-wide through screenshots and Camera Control. Instead of opening a separate app, you screenshot and highlight what you want to search.
My take: The execution is smoother than Google's, but calling this "Visual Intelligence" is like calling copy-paste "Text Teleportation." It's useful, not revolutionary.
Genmoji: The Most Useless AI Feature Ever Created
Apple lets you "mix together emoji and combine them with descriptions to create a brand-new Genmoji."
This is where Apple completely lost the plot.
Nobody, and I mean nobody, wakes up thinking "I really need an AI-generated emoji that combines a taco with a crying face." The emoji keyboard already has 3,600+ emoji covering every conceivable human emotion and situation.
The real problem: Apple spent engineering resources on custom emoji generation instead of building AI that actually matters. While OpenAI was creating agents that can code entire applications, Apple was training models to create slightly different smiley faces.
My take: Genmoji is the perfect metaphor for Apple's AI strategy: technically impressive, completely pointless, and solving problems that don't exist.
Image Playground: Midjourney Lite
Apple's Image Playground creates images from descriptions and can now tap into ChatGPT for "Watercolor and Oil Painting" styles.
The honest assessment: This is fine. Kids will love it. Adults will use it exactly once and forget it exists.
Image generation isn't new: Midjourney, DALL-E, and Stable Diffusion have been doing this better for years. But having it integrated system-wide means it might actually get used for Messages and presentations.
The ChatGPT integration is interesting because it suggests Apple knows their own AI models aren't competitive. They're essentially admitting "our image AI sucks, so here's OpenAI's instead."
My take: Useful for casual users, but if you need good AI images, you'll still use dedicated tools.
Workout Buddy: Actually Clever
This one surprised me. Workout Buddy analyzes your workout data, heart rate, pace, and fitness history to deliver "personalized, spoken motivation throughout their session."
It uses a "text-to-speech model" with "voice data from Fitness+ trainers" so it sounds natural during workouts.
Why this works: It's using AI for genuine personalization based on real data. Instead of generic "you got this!" motivation, it can say "your heart rate is higher than usual for mile 2, consider slowing your pace" or "you're 30 seconds faster than your last 5K attempt."
The competition: Strava has insights, but mostly post-workout. Peloton has live coaching, but it's generic. Apple's combining real-time biometric data with personalized AI coaching.
My take: This is what AI should be doing: taking data you're already generating and making it actionable in real-time. Actually useful.

September 20, 2025Ā Ā Ā
AI thatās trending:
1. Microsoft End OpenAI Exclusivity for Claude.Ā
Microsoft is adding Anthropic's Claude to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, ending their exclusive OpenAI partnership. OpenAI is simultaneously building chips with Broadcom and launching a LinkedIn competitor.
The tech divorce is getting messy as both companies try to reduce their dependence on each other after years of being joined at the hip.
My take: Microsoft just proved that billion-dollar partnerships mean nothing when better tech shows up. OpenAI got lost in their own hype and forgot who pays the bills. Now they're about to learn what happens when your biggest customer becomes your biggest threat.
2. OpenAI Signs Insane $300 Billion Oracle Cloud Deal.Ā
OpenAI will purchase $300 billion worth of cloud computing from Oracle over five years starting in 2027. The deal is part of OpenAI's strategy to diversify away from Microsoft Azure and is connected to the Stargate Project's $500 billion data center investment. Meanwhile Oracle expects $150 B in AI business in th next 4 years (now you know why the stock is up 30%)
My take: When you're committing $300 billion for compute, you're either building actual AGI or creating the world's most expensive chatbot.
3. Sam Altman Can't Tell If His Own Products Are Getting Bot Praise.Ā
OpenAI's CEO admitted he can't distinguish between real Reddit users and bots when reading praise for his company's products. Altman says social media feels "fake" because of AI-generated content: the same AI technology his company pioneered and trained on Reddit data.
He's now reportedly building his own social media platform while complaining about the bot problem he helped create.
My take: The guy who poisoned the well is complaining about the water quality. Altman spent years teaching AI to write like humans, then acts shocked when he can't tell them apart. Building another social platform won't fix the authenticity crisis you created, Sam.
4. Amazon's Zoox Launches Weird Bidirectional Robotaxis in Vegas.Ā
Zoox's robotaxis have no steering wheel, bench seats facing each other, and can drive equally well forwards and backwards. The vehicles were built from scratch for autonomous driving rather than retrofitting existing cars. Service launched free in Las Vegas connecting tourist destinations like Resorts World and Area15.
My take: Amazon spent $12 billion building actual future cars while Tesla just stuck cameras on a Model 3 and called it innovation.
1. Plander.ai: AI Planning That Adapts When Life Gets Messy
Plander breaks down vague goals into specific tasks and reschedules automatically when your plans fall apart. Features drag-and-drop calendar scheduling and an AI "Rhythm Keeper" that reorganizes your week without losing momentum.
My take: Worth trying if you abandon productivity systems when unexpected stuff happens. Could help people who plan well but struggle with execution when life gets chaotic.
2. Rocket Journal: Voice-First Mental Health Journaling
Talk instead of type with "Rant" mode for quick emotional dumps and "Reflect" mode for guided prompts. AI analyzes speech patterns to identify emotional themes and mood trends over time without requiring structured writing.
My take: Good for people who process emotions by talking through problems rather than writing. Also useful if you journal while walking, driving, or just hate typing on your phone.
3. Genstore.ai: Conversational E-commerce Store Builder
Chat with AI agents to build complete online stores without touching code. "Genius" handles strategy, "Sara" manages products, other agents handle design and marketing. Integrates with Amazon, social platforms, and email tools.
Offers up to one year at no cost
My take: Worth trying if Shopify feels overwhelming or you want to test selling online without learning e-commerce tech. Skip if you already know what you're doing with existing platforms.
Hyper Realistic Videos. š
Hereās how to do it:
Step 1: Go to the custom GPT I made, and describe a scene you want
Answer the questions basis your preference. First person is better for B-Rolls. If you want to create first person, ensure you mention that the face of the person should show so it leaves that as a pointer in the JSON (you can attach the image later in veo3)
*Disclaimer: Veo3 sometimes messes up and gives no audio hence donāt expect it despite the description in the JSON until Google fixes it.
Step 2: Copy the JSON Code
If you read the JSON line by line youāll realise why the output is so much better when compared to the two line description we give veo3 to generate videos. And will explain the difference prompting has in output.
Step 3: Go to veo3 and paste the code alongside an image of yourself (in case you want third person footage)Step 4: Eat some popcorn and enjoy the output : )
