Your challenge: Pick one tool and actually try it for 15 minutes

P.S. Today’s issue is presented bu Guidde AI, an AI tool that helps you generate tutorial videos with AI & more.

What It Is

While everyone's fighting over Kling 2.1 (which is trending hard right now), Higgsfield just secured $50M Series A funding and hit $58M revenue with 2 million customers. Founded by ex-Snapchat AI head Alex Mashrabov, it's a complete cinematic control system that gives creators Hollywood-level camera movements and shot control.

Why It's Trending:

The platform integrates Google Veo 3, MiniMax Hailuo, and ByteDance Seedance models, offering unlimited free generations with over 30 multi-shot cinematic presets. E-commerce brands see 40% better conversions using Higgsfield's product showcase videos.

  • Transform static images and text prompts into high-quality, movie-style videos with sophisticated AI-driven camera movements (dolly, sweeps, FPV).

  • Easily swap outfits, props, or products mid-shot and morph faces or objects for creative, commercial-ready content.

  • Use draw-to-edit features to annotate, guide, and direct cinematic video outputs for real estate, lifestyle, or brand storytelling.

  • Create stylized short-form clips, TikTok/Reels videos, and viral content using cinematic transitions and effects.

  • Higgsfield provides a user-friendly experience on web, iOS, and Android, supporting on-the-go video edits and instant sharing.

Real Example: Travis Davids Case Study

Digital artist Travis Davids used Kling 2.0 to create a viral snail-human hybrid animation, but switched to Higgsfield for the cinematic camera work that made it feel like a sci-fi horror film. The combination of lifelike motion and professional cinematography transformed a simple prompt into millions of views across social platforms.

  2. Choose your preset from 30+ cinematic options or upload product images

  3. Drop in your content – works with text prompts, images, or product shots

🎨What It Is

While everyone's struggling with complex screen recording software, Guidde just solved the entire tutorial creation problem with one-click Magic Capture technology. This AI-powered platform has exploded to 100,000+ users in 2025, with companies like DocuSign, IKEA, and American Eagle ditching traditional training methods for Guidde's automated approach.

Guidde creates professional step-by-step video guides in minutes, not hours. The platform raised $30M in funding because it genuinely delivers on its promise

💥 Why It’s Hot Right Now

70% of organizations now prefer video-based training over text manuals, but creating professional video content traditionally takes 5-8 hours per guide. Guidde compressed that timeline to 15-30 minutes while improving quality and consistency.

Guidde's Magic Mic feature lets you speak naturally during screen capture, then automatically cleans up audio, removes filler words, and converts everything into professional voiceover with 200+ AI voices in 40+ languages.

Major companies discovered that Guidde's approach reduces support tickets by 70% while improving training consistency.

Upload your logo, colors, and fonts once. Every guide automatically applies your branding with watermark removal, custom intros and professional transitions. AI automatically detects and blurs PII, passwords, and sensitive information. Unlike solo screen recording tools, Guidde scales for entire organizations with approval processes and shared libraries.

Real Example: American Eagle Case study

American Eagle Outfitters revolutionized employee training across 1,000+ retail locations. Store managers use Guidde to create consistent product demonstration videos and seasonal training materials.

Result: 40% faster new hire onboarding and standardized knowledge across all locations.

⚡ How to Use It (Even If You Suck at Design)

  1. Install the Chrome extension (30 seconds from Chrome Web Store)

  2. Click "Capture" and navigate through your process normally

  3. Speak naturally as you work – Guidde's Magic Mic records and cleans everything

  4. Stop recording – AI automatically breaks your workflow into logical steps

  5. Review and customize – GPT generates descriptions, adds transitions, applies branding

  6. Share or embed – Send links or embed directly in knowledge bases

The magic happens in post-processing. What would take hours in traditional video editing happens automatically in minutes.
