Films, animation, voice and motion design tools.
A product photo, a visual style and an idea for a short clip. Katana offers a shorter route to a first video draft. Here is where that starting point makes sense, and when an animation project is more useful.
The same words can sound like a quiet invitation or a stage entrance. Eleven v4 and Turbo promise more control over voice. We have an idea for using it.
Image generation, illustration and design with AI.
A lovely picture, but nowhere for the title? FLUX 3 Image lets you start with boxes defining the layout. We look at an idea for a fictional album cover.
Codex, Claude Code, code, prototypes and checking changes.
The larger Claude has new rates: $4 per million input tokens and $20 for output. Let’s look at what the claimed savings mean for longer jobs.
Close your laptop and let Codex keep working. Add a cheaper Sol and Dots for recurring tasks, and there is plenty to unpack from DevDay. Here is where we would start.
Agents, n8n, MCP and workflows with room for human decisions.

Try it, change it, take it with you. Projects with code and instructions.
We turned four silent animations into 16 seconds with music, titles and a phone version. Watch Cookie Sessions, download the project and give it an evening of your own.
A cookie orbits, and you decide when it stops. Explore our example, then try building your own single-file animation with Opus 5.5.
The target is on the right, but a straight shot hits a planet. Play our Orbital Golf, then move a planet and make a puzzle of your own.
A broad shade on a short stem, or a slender desk lamp? Compare proportions in our configurator, rotate the model and save the view you choose.
Understand the tool, plan your work and check the result.
Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, skills, plugins, MCP… If you want to try AI and are already fed up with all these names, let’s start with one ordinary task. Open a chat and turn a short note into something useful.
The product intro looks good, but the price has changed and a caption appears too soon. This example explains why AI Motion Designer's promise of an editable After Effects project matters.
One model answers; another judges it. Sounds sensible, until we ask who checks the judge. We take a look at JEV and share an exercise of our own.
