In today’s edition:
🌀 Microsoft Copilot turns your 2D images into 3D models

Microsoft
🌀 Microsoft Copilot 3D: From Image to Object in Seconds
Microsoft just released Copilot 3D, a surprisingly fast tool that converts any image into a 3D object.
Not text-to-3D. Not prompt-based.
You upload an image, and in ~15 seconds it spits out a usable 3D asset.
Why it matters:
No coding or modeling skills required
Great for game dev, 3D printing, VR, and AR assets
It’s completely free inside Copilot Labs
You can generate 3D tacos on roller skates, upload a photo of your guitar, or use AI-generated imagery as a base. The results aren’t perfect—but they’re shockingly usable and fast. Minor cleanup in Blender, and you're production-ready.
🔮 Prediction: This will be the go-to 3D generator for hobbyists and indie devs, giving RunwayML-style accessibility to the 3D modeling world.

AI Video
🎬 Video Tools Go Wild: Perplexity, OpenArt, Pika & More
AI video generation just got a major upgrade—on multiple fronts.
Perplexity Video
Now available for Pro and Max subscribers, you can generate video directly from prompts—or even images—with sound, on web, iOS, and Android.
Built-in prompt optimizer
5–15 videos per month depending on plan
Feels a lot like V3 under the hood
Try it via Perplexity.ai
OpenArt’s Brainrot Generator
OpenArt (from ex-Googlers) launched 1-click AI story videos, basically TikTok-style “brainrot” or meme-slap content.
Drop a sentence or song, get a 1-min story
Character vlog templates included
But: You’ll need to pay ($14/month) to actually try it
Pika Labs Audio Lip Sync
Pika teased an audio-driven lip-sync model that creates HD avatars synced to your voice in under 6 seconds.
Coming soon to Pika Social
Higsfield's Draw-to-Video
You can now sketch over images to direct video animations—just like VEO 3. It’s a step toward true visual control in AI animation. Demo here
🎥 Prediction: This is the beginning of verticalized AI video apps (memes, marketing, music). Expect TikTok clones that auto-generate virality within a month.

LLM’s
Memory Wars: Claude, Gemini & NotebookLM Level Up
We finally got real progress on long-term AI memory and media comprehension.
Claude Memory Is Live
Claude can now reference past chats for contextual replies. It works. It’s accurate. And it doesn’t hallucinate your past.
Try it at claude.ai
Gemini’s Temporary & Persistent Memory
Google is testing temporary chats (incognito) and persistent learning across chats. It remembers your preferences and tones—slowly catching up to ChatGPT.
See the feature here
NotebookLM Video Overviews
You can now drop articles, PDFs, or YouTube links into NotebookLM and get auto-generated explainer videos—with visuals and podcast-style voiceovers.
Perfect for trend briefings or mock courses. More here
💡 Use case: Build AI-generated content loops—upload source docs, generate podcast/audio summaries, and auto-produce video.

🎮 Turn Your Game Into Reality with Matrix 3D
If last week’s Genie 3 blew your mind, you can now try something similar—right now.
Skywork’s Matrix Game 2.0 lets you upload an image and navigate a generated 3D world using keyboard controls.
Here’s how it works:
Upload a static image (e.g., fantasy landscape)
It generates a 360° panorama, then lifts it into a 3D world
Move using W/A/S/D keys like a game engine
🚀 The twist? It uses smart temporal outpainting to keep everything consistent—even if you spin in circles.
But it requires a powerful GPU (24GB VRAM) or cloud hosting (nothing public yet).
