Quote of the Week

New App

There are always so many new tools, but I want to share only those I find really helpful or that offer something special like this new app called Meet Verse. Remember Shuffles from Pinterest? Where you could design stuff more creatively? Meet Verse is aimed at Gen Z to create mood boards, storefronts, blogs etc., and it's all AI-based.

Freaky Feature

Talking about AI, this feature freaked me out! 

I used to work with an app called Captions for my subtitles before it was easier to add them on CapCut, and the app has released a new AI avatar feature, but hear me out. It does not look like an Avatar; it looks exactly like you. It clones you and your voice so you can film all the videos you want without being on camera. 

What are your thoughts on this? Share it on social media and tag me with @thesocialshells. I would love to hear your feedback.

AI Avatars seem to be the topic of the week. Meta is launching their new Avatars next week.

Another cool tool I came across recently which helps you translate your content. You simply upload a video/audio file or provide a video link and request that the audio be translated into another language.
