Podcasts about new features

In this episode of The Fitness League, we're pulling back the curtain on one of the most exciting updates to our app yet: the all-new challenge feature. But this isn't just another 30-day shred or burnout bootcamp. We're redefining what fitness challenges should look like — sustainable, consistent, and rooted in community. We talk about why most fitness challenges fail, how our approach flips the script, and what makes this new feature a game-changer for real people with real lives. You'll learn how the app now supports daily habits, rewards consistency over intensity, and helps you track meaningful progress — all inside a supportive ecosystem built for longevity. Whether you're new to fitness or looking for a fresh dose of motivation, this episode will give you a preview of how challenges can be both effective and actually enjoyable. Let's build better habits, together.

The group compares weight, comfort, thermal balance, strap systems, and software ecosystems. Marty shares his early hands-on impressions with the Galaxy XR—including its lighter design but occasional light leakage—while Ben and Jill discuss how purpose may determine market success: Vision Pro for spatial productivity, Galaxy XR for approachable consumer entry.  The discussion moves to VisionOS Beta 4, where developer-focused updates aim to improve stability and groundwork for more immersive experiences. The consensus: incremental but necessary.   Then comes one of the show's most passionate sections: Apple's decision not to allow trade-ins of the first-generation Vision Pro. The panel debates how this affects:     •    customer loyalty     •    early-adopter trust     •    whether the Vision Pro is being treated like a dev kit vs. consumer product. Reactions range from “understandable” to “rough look for a $3,500 device.”  From there, the conversation shifts to the GM / CarPlay breakup, which inspires instant groans. Everyone shares personal and community stories confirming that CarPlay is no longer a luxury—it's baseline expectation. One panelist notes even non-tech friends refuse to buy a car without CarPlay, which says more than any product review ever could.   iPhone Air production and strategy concerns, tied to mid-tier pricing pressure  YouTube's new AI deepfake likeness detection, and what it means for creators and security Topics and Links In Touch With Vision Pro this week.  visionOS 26.1 Beta 3 Release Notes | Apple Developer Documentation  New Samsung Vision Pro Killer?

It covers OpenAI's Dev Day reveals, including the introduction of apps within ChatGPT, new features in their platform, and updates to their models and APIs. Deloitte's significant adoption of Anthropic's AI models and addressing an AI-related error are discussed.

The episode wraps up with an acknowledgment of a mix-up in podcast episodes and a mention of Jim Love's new book, 'Elisa'. 00:00 Introduction and Headlines 00:33 OpenAI Dev Day Highlights 01:34 New Features in ChatGPT 02:29 Agent Kit and Developer Tools 04:52 Deloitte's Big AI Bet on Anthropic 08:07 OpenAI's Partnership with AMD 09:47 AI's Real-World Impact: New Antibiotic Discovery 12:17 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

MY NEWSLETTER - https://nikolas-newsletter-241a64.beehiiv.com/subscribeJoin me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I interview Elizabeth Knopf (https://x.com/leveragedupside) about the biggest AI tools updates of 2025.I was incredibly excited to sit down with Liz this week because OpenAI just dropped massive updates, including ChatGPT 5, OpenAI Pulse, and the game-changing Sora 2 AI video generator. We dive straight into Sora 2, a revolutionary AI video generation tool and text-to-video AI platform that's disrupting content creation for entrepreneurs and small business owners.We discuss how Sora 2 creates stunningly accurate AI digital clones and AI avatars of yourself from just five seconds of video—no expensive equipment or video editing software needed. This AI cloning technology is lightyears ahead of older AI video tools like HeyGen, Synthesia, and D-ID.We analyze OpenAI's genius product launch strategy and growth hacking tactics, using an invite-only system and leaning on Sam Altman for founder marketing and personal branding, creating immediate scarcity marketing and viral growth that could launch a totally new AI social media platform and AI content platform to compete with TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.Next, we switch gears to Anthropic's major updates for Claude AI. I was shocked to see the new Claude Chrome extension and Claude browser integration, which allows the AI assistant to analyze web pages, scrape data, automate browser workflows, and perform real-time automation tasks like a virtual assistant. This is perfect for business automation, data entry automation, and workflow optimization for first-time entrepreneurs building their online business.Finally, Liz demonstrates Claude Sonnet 4.5's ability to generate professional PowerPoint presentations, pitch decks for startups, and perfectly formatted CSV files and Excel spreadsheets directly from complex data sources and PDF documents. This eliminates tons of manual data entry and grunt work for any business owner, solopreneur, or content creator trying to scale to their first million dollars.Questions This Episode Answers:How did OpenAI use scarcity marketing and social media strategy to achieve a massive viral product launch for Sora 2 AI?How does the Sora 2 Cameo feature create highly realistic AI digital clones and deepfake avatars faster than previous AI video generation tools like HeyGen, Runway ML, and Pika Labs?How can small business owners and entrepreneurs leverage the new Claude Chrome extension for real-time browser automation, web scraping, data extraction, and workflow automation directly in Google Chrome?What makes Sora 2's inversion of AI technology into an entertainment platform and social network a "paradigm shift" compared to traditional marketing-focused AI tools and B2B SaaS products?How does the updated Claude AI model now generate high-quality PowerPoint decks, business presentations, and structured CSV data exports from complex PDF files and financial documents for business intelligence and data analysis?__________________________Love it or hate it, I'd love your feedback.Please fill out this brief survey with your opinion or email me at nik@cofounders.com with your thoughts.__________________________MY NEWSLETTER: https://nikolas-newsletter-241a64.beehiiv.com/subscribeSpotify: https://tinyurl.com/5avyu98yApple: https://tinyurl.com/bdxbr284YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/nikonomicsYT__________________________This week we covered:00:00 The Rise of AI Automation13:45 Sora: A New Era in Content Creation24:00 Claude's New Features and Updates

On September 30th., International Podcast Day, the Podcast Super Friends, welcomed Kendall Breitman, Community Lead at Riverside, with big news on a major product rollout: Riverside's launch of its new chat-based editing tool — the "AI Co-Creator," affectionately nicknamed “Coco” by the internal team. Co-Creator introduces a major shift in how podcasters can handle post-production. Instead of manually editing timelines or transcripts, users can simply type what they want — like “make this episode more engaging” or “cut the part about watermelons” — and Riverside's AI will handle the edits. The tool supports everything from layout changes, B-roll additions, branding overlays, to audio cleanup like EQ adjustments and filler word removal, all with user-guided flexibility. Kendall walks us through the evolution of the tool — how it started as a way to generate show notes and blog posts directly from transcripts, and now powers full post-production editing, video layout automation, and audio enhancements like Magic Audio and Smart Mute. Co-Creator's AI capabilities also include adding royalty-free music, removing background noise, and even dynamically changing video composition based on prompts. While you still have full control to fine-tune manually, the tool helps users speed up their editing dramatically. We also discuss the importance of community feedback. Kendall emphasizes Riverside's commitment to implementing user suggestions quickly, with the Facebook group "Conversation Creators by Riverside" acting as a hub for ideas and feedback. In fact, several features — including the Editor Add-On that lets producers access client accounts — were born directly from community input. The conversation touches on pricing barriers for small-scale producers, the benefits of using iPhones as high-quality second cameras, and the addition of Safari support — making the platform even more accessible. We also explore Riverside's live streaming capabilities, which let creators stream to multiple platforms including YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, and custom RTMP destinations — with multi-channel live chat support. Kendall suggests this is a great next step for creators looking to deepen audience engagement, especially as platforms reward live content in their algorithms. Wrapping up, Kendall highlights Riverside's free resources, like the Community Hub (riverside.com/community) and their live workshop series, which showcase workflows from everyday creators. She also teases future updates and encourages everyone to keep checking back — because the features keep rolling out fast. More: https://riverside.com/community Riverside Users Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/264571558188791 Superfriends' websites: Johnny Peterson - ⁠⁠⁠⁠Johnny Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.johnnypodcasts.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ Catherine O'Brien -⁠⁠⁠⁠ Branch Out Programs ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.branchoutprograms.com⁠⁠⁠ Jon Gay: Jag Podcast Productions ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.jagpodcastproductions.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ David Yas: Pod 617 -⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Boston Podcast Network⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.pod617.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠ Matt Cundill - ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Sound Off Media Company⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://soundoff.network⁠⁠⁠⁠ 00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Guests 01:02 Big Announcement: Chat-Based Editing 03:27 Evolution of Riverside's Editing Tools 04:45 Community Feedback and Feature Development 07:51 Introducing the AI Co-Creator: Coco 09:33 CoCreator's Journey and Marketing Assets 10:52 Editing with Coco: Enhancements and Control 12:00 Advanced Editing Features and AI Capabilities 14:03 Audio Enhancements and Magic Audio Features 16:42 Filler Word Removal and Audio Quality 18:54 Maintaining Creative Control with AI Tools 22:32 Exploring Media Board Functionality 23:44 Video Editing Techniques and AI Integration 25:02 Enhancing Video Quality with Creative Edits 26:57 Browser Compatibility and User Experience 27:12 Safari and Cross-Browser Functionality 29:01 Using Mobile Devices for Recording 30:10 Community Engagement and Feature Awareness 31:22 Community Resources and User Feedback 34:05 Understanding Podcaster Needs and Trends 36:42 Challenges in Podcast Promotion and Repurposing 39:10 The Importance of YouTube for Discoverability 42:56 Producer Tools and User Feedback 44:58 Navigating Technical Challenges in Podcasting 47:40 Enhancing Collaboration with Riverside's New Features 49:37 The Rise of Live Streaming in Podcasting 56:59 Riverside's Comprehensive Podcasting Solutions 58:19 Community Engagement and Resources for Podcasters Find jag on social media @JAGPodcastProductions or online at JAGPodcastProductions.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

As Leslie Witt took to the stage Sept. 3 to deliver the keynote at Kaleidoscope, 8am's inaugural customer conference, it was the culmination of a whirlwind summer. It had been just four months since she had joined the company formerly known as AffiniPay as chief product officer, responsible for leading product transformation and strategy for established legal tech brands LawPay, MyCase, CASEpeer and Docketwise. In the intervening 16 weeks, the company had undergone a major rebrand and finalized details of its first major conference. Now, two weeks after the rebrand and as the conference got underway, Witt stood before the keynote audience detailing the company's newest product initiatives, including its upcoming launch of its generative AI-driven 8AM IQ.  Not long after Witt wrapped up her keynote, LawNext host Bob Ambrogi sat down with her live for this extended conversation. They spoke at the Kaleidoscope venue in Austin in a recording studio provided by 8am, where they discussed her background and career, her reasons for joining 8am, and the product announcements she had made earlier that day. Those announcements included the beta launch of an AI “Chat with Cases” feature that allows lawyers to ask questions of and search their case files, the integration of three core 8am products — LawPay, MyCase and SmartSpend — on a single technology platform, and more.  Before joining 8am in May, Witt had more than two decades of experience in leading product teams. Most recently, she had served as the chief product and design officer at the mental health and wellness technology company Headspace. She previously held senior positions at Intuit, where she led global design, research and innovation initiatives focused on small businesses.  Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

Imagine a Netflix-style platform where you don't just watch shows, you create new episodes, alternate endings, and even step into the story yourself. That's the vision behind Fable, an AI company pushing the idea of “playable shows,” and it could change how we think about entertainment. It's podcast news day, so we also dig into YouTube's new collaboration tools for creators, LinkedIn's pivot toward video, and our thoughts on this move. As creators, we're standing at the intersection of opportunity and overload. The big question is, with AI, shifting platforms, and evolving audiences, are we keeping pace or getting left behind?Labor Day Sale!

What happens when AI agents promise to transform accounting but create more cognitive burden than productivity gains? Blake and David explore the reality behind the AI agent hype as QuickBooks, Digits, and Big Four firms launch their "digital teammates." They also dig into Xero's massive $2.5 billion acquisition of Melio and what it means for the payments landscape. You'll learn why managing AI agents might be like managing offshore contractors—you wake up to work that's 80% done but everyone has questions. Plus, they discuss how external investors are reshaping the profession, why traditional CPA protections might go the way of car dealership laws, and the ongoing problems with audit quality enforcement despite millions in PCAOB fines.Sponsors Cloud Accountant Staffing - http://accountingpodcast.promo/cas Human at Scale - http://accountingpodcast.promo/humanChapters(00:00) - Introduction and Welcome (00:42) - David's Return and Big News (01:01) - The Acquisition of Emilio by Xero (01:33) - Implications of the Acquisition (04:52) - David's Journey with Bill Pay Solutions (06:42) - Emilio's Unique Features and Market Impact (10:47) - Xero's New Features and Updates (20:56) - QuickBooks AI Agents: A Game Changer?

Canva just announced $3 billion in ARR, 230 million monthly active users, and 24 million paying subscribers—including 95% of the Fortune 500. Even more impressive? They've been profitable for seven years while growing at 40–50% per year. In this episode, Canva's Head of Engineering, Brendan Humphreys, reveals how he went from employee #12 to leading 2,300 engineers across continents, and why Canva's “pragmatic excellence” lets them ship AI features at breakneck speed—like launching Canva Code to 100 million users in just three months.Brendan shares the story of Canva's AI journey: building an in-house ML team back in 2017, acquiring visual AI startups like Kaleido and Leonardo AI, and why they use a hybrid of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and their own foundation models. He explains how Canva's App Store gives niche AI startups instant access to millions, and why their $200M Creator Fund is designed to reward contributors in the AI era. You'll also hear how AI tools like Copilot are making Canva's senior engineers 30% more productive, why “vibe coding” isn't ready for prime time, and the unique challenges of onboarding junior engineers in an AI-driven world.We also dig into Canva's approach to technical debt, scaling from 12 to 5,000 employees, and why empathy is a core engineering skill at Canva.
