Welcome to Perplexity's Copilot - Your Personal AI Search Buddy! 🚀🖥️

There's a thrill around Perplexity AI and their new feature Copilot that's hard to ignore. It's a leap forward in the realm of AI chatbots - a more interactive, intelligent, and adaptive companion. Copilot is here to make your information-hunting sessions more engaging and personalized.

Nonetheless, it's understandable if there's a sense of hesitation among those accustomed to ChatGPT. It's like switching to a new brand of coffee – it takes time to acquire a taste for it. But once you do, you might discover a whole new world of flavor.

But why should you consider using Copilot instead of ChatGPT or Google search? Here's why:

1. Personalized Engagement: Copilot offers a two-way interaction, mimicking human-like conversation. It doesn't just give answers, it learns and adapts to your style, providing a more tailored experience.

2. Deep-Dive Information: While Google gives you numerous search results, Copilot curates the most relevant information and presents it in an easy-to-understand manner.

3. Continuous Learning: Copilot is a learning system that continually improves with each interaction. This means you get progressively better responses, making it an excellent tool for research, learning new topics, or even brainstorming ideas.

4. Actionable Responses: Copilot doesn't just provide answers; it gives solutions. Whether you're a programmer looking for bug fixes or a student seeking homework help, Copilot will guide you toward actionable outcomes.

It's fascinating how AI is playing an ever-growing role in our lives, leading us to rethink our relationship with technology. Isn't it both wondrous and a little intimidating?

In my opinion, Perplexity AI as a search engine is shaping up to be quite the tool for productive searches. It seems to be more focused and streamlined to help save time on your searches. (Which I’m all for) 😄

Meet Your Personal AI Secretary: Motion AI! 📝⏰🤖

If you're seeking an intelligent personal assistant to help manage your tasks, calendar, and projects, then I've got a brilliant recommendation for you - Motion AI. It's like having your personal Jarvis but for productivity, managing tasks that can either be recurring or one-off. If, like me, you're brimming with creativity but sometimes lack organization, Motion AI might just be your new best friend.

Let me share a little about my experience with Motion AI. I've always grappled with managing my time efficiently, but Motion AI has proven to be an invaluable asset in this regard. It does more than just schedule tasks - it strategically reshuffles them based on priority and deadlines. It's like having a savvy secretary who intuitively understands your workflow and assists you in navigating through your day.

YouTuber Shu Omi does an excellent breakdown of Motion AI and its features.

What I particularly appreciate about Motion AI is its adaptability. When I'm running behind or when a critical task suddenly arises, Motion AI is right there, ready to reorder my tasks for optimal efficiency. It's essentially a living, breathing to-do list that doesn't merely keep track of what you have to do but actively helps you get it done in the most effective way.

I just recently started to take full advantage of Motions features. I still keep Window’s notepad open where I jot down notes and to-do lists for the day, but the more I lean into Motion the more powerful I see it being in my day-to-day work life.

Though Motion AI is not brand-new to the AI toolbox, it has undergone significant improvements over time. It learns from you, growing alongside you, tailoring its assistance more precisely to your needs the longer you use it.

If staying organized feels like a Herculean task to you, then give Motion AI a try. It's less about a tool helping you stay organized and more about having a reliable partner that adapts to your workflow, enabling you to focus on what you do best: create, innovate, and explore! 🚀💡🔖

Unleash Your Inner Drone Videographer with NeRFs and Luma AI! 🎥📲🚁

Here's something truly thrilling from LinkedIn user Karen X. Cheng. She's been experimenting with NeRFs and Luma AI's newly launched "AR" feature to create stunning "drone" shots with just a phone. The best part? It requires zero technical expertise!

This approach is a game-changer, folks. Imagine just walking through your scene, capturing everything exactly as it appears in real life. The process of editing is becoming increasingly intuitive, and it's exciting to witness.

Here are a few tips from Karen:

• The Luma AI app is experiencing a surge of users right now, so there might be longer wait times to process your NeRF.

• Shoot in wide mode instead of vertical.

• If your phone has a wide lens, use it (but it's not mandatory; the default lens works too).

• It's recommended to upload footage instead of capturing in-app.

• Check out "Create FPV-Like Videos with Your Phone" by @justmdmz on YouTube for advanced tips.

• Android users: You can still use Luma's web app (lumalabs.ai) and upload footage, but you'll have to edit with keyframes instead of using the augmented reality method.

As for my two cents, this technique offers a fantastic way to simulate drone shots. Not everyone has a drone or a pilot's license, and yet, you can achieve incredibly creative shots with this method using no more than your phone.

Karen's tutorial is a stellar guide that walks you through the process, allowing you to recreate this magic yourself. If you're a content creator or videographer for clients, incorporating this AI-driven technique into your repertoire could help you stand out from the crowd.

So grab your phone, take a stroll through your chosen scene, and let NeRFs and Luma AI help you create breathtaking video content that was once only achievable with a drone! 🎬🌟🌈
