This Week in All Things AI - Week 37-2025
As we head into the end of Q3 2025 and start into Q4 2025, I suspect that there might be some surge in updates to models from the frontier labs [ Google, OpenAI, xAI, Anthropic] and the mainland Chinese giants [ Alibaba/Qwen, ZAI, Deepseek] also expected to keep pushing the envelope. I also expect more content surfacing as users experience Replit Agent 3 which you will read more further in this edition.

Hi folks! Any recommendations for tools to create powerful Google Slide pitch decks? I have the content ready in the Google Slide, but it's raw and not graphics. Been trying a few tools, but didn't find anything particular great. Happy to pay for subscription.

Matias, I thought Gemini was available via Google Slides though that could depend on your Google Workspace or your Google AI subscription plan.

Some alternatives I'm aware of though never tried any one of them in sufficient depth to give any worthwhile recommendation. I've a leaning towards Gamma though.

I was asking these to Yusuf in DMs, but figured it's better to ask here so everyone can learn together :)
Hey bro I want to start saving all of my business meeting calls, ingesting all of my Telegram conversations, etc to start building a ILM (Individual Language Model) and/or digital twin. Do you have any recommendations? I am thinking it might not matter what I use for the time being as I just need to record the content for now, and then can ingest it into a personal model later right?
If there are good tools to use it with now that's even better, but I want to be careful about someone having my personal conversations as data.
Actually I'll ask this in your group :)
Basically I can only recall probably 1-5% of facts from my calls over the years. I want to save all of my conversations, emails, TG messages, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, personal calls, and maybe even use a pendant to record my in-person conversations.
My memory is getting worse with age, and I want to be able to recall all of my conversations.
For example, I could ask my twin or ILM: "I'm going to Japan in 3 days, who do I know in Japan that I may want to meet with during Eth Tokyo?"

I got recommended this one by my friend who’s in coaching: https://www.plaud.ai/products/plaud-notepin and he said it works well, is discreet, and integrates with all his LLMs (mainly syncing transcripts straight to ChatGPT). The only thing I’m not sure about is how compliant it is for sensitive data sharing. But thinking it’s quite similar risk as using ChatGPT/AI tools already. Only activates when you want to use it.

This seems to be a hard problem because you are asking for a tool which can access different data sources and possible across different modalities.
From a pendant POV, the closest I've seen but never used is this product from Limitless AI

Just discovered this, has anyone tried it out yet? It’s called “Oboe”
Introducing Oboe, the easiest way to learn anything, with magical courses made just for you.
We’re heading toward a future where humans only exist to feed AI. AI gets smarter, we get stupider. But what if AI’s purpose was to feed us? That’s the future we hope Oboe can help nudge.
