👩🏼 My own AI companion ~ Your gateway to instant, expert knowledge!

Hopefully, you've been reading all of my newsletters, since I answer many of your AI questions there. But if you still have questions, I've got something super exciting to share!

Today I bring you your saving grace. I was brought a diamond in the rough when Portalis.ai reached out to me asking to try out their new product. This product isn’t just an AI tool that will create videos for you, or write an Instagram script…

No, this is a real-time, responsive avatar of myself that ANYONE can chat with! So if you ever have an AI question that you want my exact answer from, just ask my avatar by clicking right here!

My personal AI avatar is available to chat with you in real-time! All you need to do is hold down the button to talk or ask a question, and instantly, you're conversing with an AI version of myself that's studied my responses. What's even cooler is that it looks (almost) just like me! See how it works in my reel right here.

These avatars are incredibly versatile. I've been using mine to answer follower questions since it sometimes takes me a while to read all my direct messages...

BUT NOT ANYMORE, because Portalis.AI has solved this problem not just for me, but for everyone wanting to ask questions about AI Tools! If you want to create one for yourself, just click the link below and get started… the process is SO simple you won’t even believe it.

But I’ll let you find that out for yourself… just click below!

 🤖 Physical AI is making a big splash in 2025

I'm about to share something SUPER exciting… I know I typically focus on AI tools, and tricks to create revenue from AI… but today I’m going to talk about something a little bit different. Something HUGE has been brewing in the world of physical AI and robotics. And I believe that 2025 is going to be THE year it all comes together!

Companies like Tesla and Agility Robotics are rolling out humanoid robots that can actually do real work - we're talking about stocking shelves, moving boxes, and even helping around your house. When you think about the amount of physical robots that are going to be created in 2025 as well… It’s crazy the amount of work they’re actually going to be doing. They’re only getting cheaper to make, and this means we might actually see them in stores and warehouses THIS YEAR!

The next generation of Tesla’s humanoid robot makes its debut

“Agility Robotics Raises $150M Series B Led by DCVC and Playground Global to Accelerate Blended Human-Robot Workplaces”

Major players like Amazon and Boston Dynamics are already testing these robots in real-world settings. And from what I'm hearing, the results are INCREDIBLE! We're not just talking about fancy tech demos anymore - these are practical, working solutions that could hit the market sooner than you think.

So mark my words: 2025 is going to be the year when physical AI steps out of the lab and into our daily lives. And trust me, you're going to want to be ready for it! Stay tuned to my newsletter for all the latest updates on this GAME-CHANGING technology! Read more here!

🎥 Movies are going to be created with AI in 2025

So the other day I was just scrolling through Instagram when I came across a movie trailer that looked great and I watched the entire thing. I was feeling pretty pumped about the movie, so I clicked on the link to see when it was coming out, and where I could watch it.

California Monsters.

TURNS OUT… The entire trailer was created with AI from Google’s VEO 2. This complex AI not only can create in-depth videos that look realistic. But, if you use it correctly (and pay the hefty price tag…) you can create entire films with it.

My guess is that at least 1 completely AI movie will come out this year that will be featured in theaters. I’m totally going to be there for it… are you?!

This is the trailer that I saw on Instagram, I’ll link it below so you can check it out!
