🤖💡 Cool Stuff we learned about last week 🧠🚀🌆

Three things we learned about last week

• Is AI more creative or are you more creative? Try out this famous Creativity Test that tests your divergent thinking skills based on 10 random words you have to choose from. And then ask AI to do it for you. Who will take back the trophy?

• You look to create your own special music playlist? Check out MusicFX, sign up with your Google profile and download all the music pieces you create. Then stack them together with i.e. Canva. We created some fun music at the intersection of reggaeton, techno, jazz and blues with speedy beats for our running playlist 😉 

• Heard of HotShot? It‘s a product built by 4 people in 4 months creating AI videos and GIFs from a prompt - similar to Luma, Sora and Runway. If you create one, make sure to download it, otherwise it will disappear.

Cool AI Projects / Products we found in the NYC AI Ecosystem last week

• Julian is building Plum Defense - A company that improves the quality of LLM applications in real-time

• Yumi is building LEAD - A bot that optimises operational efficiency and enhances knowledge sharing within enterprises
