👀 Slack Adds AI Search

Slack has introduced new AI capabilities like enhanced search and channel summarization to help users more easily access and glean insights from content shared across the platform. Take a look at the demo ⤵️ 

Surfacing Hidden Knowledge

By applying AI models to Slack's informal, unstructured information, the features aim to uncover and summarize the wealth of institutional knowledge stored over time. Users can now ask questions naturally and get AI-generated answers sourced from Slack data. Summaries also condense channel conversations into digestible overviews.

TOGETHER WTIH RAD AI

Marketing is an art, not a science…at least, it used to be.

25,000,000,000. That's the daily count of content exchanged on social media, and most advertisers have no idea how to stand out.

To get ahead, leading brands like MGM, Skechers, and Sweetgreen trust RAD AI to find new audiences and boost content ROI.

6500+ investors – including VCs, Fidelity, and executives from Meta, Google, and Amazon all back RAD AI.

🔂 Apple’s Keyframer

Apple's research team has introduced Keyframer, a cutting-edge generative AI tool designed to animate 2D images through simple text descriptions. Leveraging OpenAI's GPT4, Keyframer allows users to animate Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) files by generating CSS code from text prompts like "make the stars twinkle."

This innovation aims to explore the untapped potential of large language models (LLMs) in the animation sector, offering a user-friendly platform where no coding knowledge is required.

Keyframer is highlighted as a step towards simplifying animation processes, yet it's currently in the prototype stage and not publicly available.

The tool represents Apple's ongoing commitment to generative AI projects, including Human Gaussian Splats (HUGS) for creating animation-ready human avatars and MGIE for text-based image editing, marking Apple's expanding presence in the AI-driven creative tools landscape.

🚀 Airbnb’s AI mega service

Airbnb is set to revolutionize the travel and hospitality industry by incorporating AI, notably through its acquisition of GamePlanner.AI, a stealth AI firm co-founded by Siri’s co-founder, valued at $200 million.

CEO Brian Chesky outlined Airbnb's vision to excel at the application layer of AI, creating an innovative AI interface rather than developing its own large language models.

This strategy involves leveraging AI technologies from giants like OpenAI, Meta, and Google to enhance user experiences, making the platform more intuitive and personalized, akin to an "ultimate concierge." Chesky emphasized the transformative potential of AI in shifting user interfaces and behaviors, indicating a significant evolution from Airbnb's current offerings.

While specifics on AI-driven products and services remain under wraps, Airbnb's ambition to integrate generative AI for tasks like writing review summaries hints at a future where technology deeply personalizes and enhances the travel experience.
