| 0:00.0 | Today on the AI Daily Brief, 10 AI projects through which you can learn all of these amazing new models that have dropped on us over the last couple of weeks. |
| 0:08.4 | The AI Daily Brief is a daily podcast and video about the most important news and discussions in AI. |
| 0:18.0 | All right, friends, quick announcements before we dive in. |

| 0:42.6 | And now, my friends, let's get practical. |
| 0:45.0 | Welcome back to the AI Daily Brief. |
| 0:47.6 | If you are in America, right now you are probably experiencing the hangover, |
| 0:53.6 | either literal or the turkey hangover, of a big |
| 0:56.7 | Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving. |

| 1:03.9 | friends and family and touching grass and hanging out and all that good holiday stuff. |
| 1:08.2 | But what I decided to do instead was get a little bit more |

| 1:26.8 | Nanobanana 2, Opus 4.5, and even GROC 4.1.

So what we're going to do today is provide a little bit of weekend homework. |
| 1:44.8 | For those of you who are catching some of this off time to go dig into all these new tools and |
| 1:48.2 | toys. So we're going to talk about 10 AI projects you can do to learn these new models and |
| 1:53.5 | better understand their capabilities. Now, first up, this actually isn't a new model, but if you |
| 1:58.7 | haven't done it yet, I'm about to speed your life up significantly. |
| 2:02.0 | One of the most embarrassing parts of the modern computing experience, and certainly the MacOS and iOS |
| 2:07.4 | experience, is how bad the voiced text is. If you ever tried to speak into your iPhone, you know you |
