This Week in All Things AI - Week 41-2025
Relatively quiet week in AI with OpenAI's Dev Day being the highlight and folks dissecting all the announcements made during that day. Grok Imagine's big upgrade from 0.1 to 0.9 also sets the stage for big expectations from xAI during Q4 for its other models.

| Steven Bartlett and I are finally launching Flightcast - the video-first podcast hosting platform. We’ve taken the tools that built The Diary of a CEO, and turned them into a software platform you can use. |
- You can upload video & audio everywhere (including Spotify!) in one click.
- See all your data in one place (video+audio) instead of a bunch of dashboards.
- AI transcriptions, titles, descriptions, chapters, etc.
- AI Clips that auto-post to learn what highlights are best.
- AI to chat with your data so you can actually understand what’s working.
- Auto-sync an entire youtube channel to Spotify (forever)
No more manual work, no more multiple dashboards, no more guessing.
