🎬 Google Launches Veo 3.1

Google’s new Veo 3.1 model enhances the Flow video editor with improved audio output, more precise editing controls, and better image-to-video generation. The update builds on Veo 3 from May, producing more realistic clips that follow prompts closely.

→ Add objects to videos and have them blend seamlessly with the clip’s style
→ Soon, remove unwanted objects directly in Flow
→ Audio now works with all editing features, making clips more lively
→ Available across Flow, Gemini App, and Vertex/Gemini APIs

Why is important: Google continues to push AI video generation forward, making complex editing faster, easier, and more accessible. With Veo 3.1, AI isn’t just generating video, it’s becoming a full-fledged creative assistant.

AI BREAKTHROUGH

🧬 AI Generates New Scientific Knowledge

Google’s C2S-Scale 27B, part of the open Gemma family, analyzed cellular data and generated a novel hypothesis: the drug silmitasertib (CX-4945) could enhance antigen presentation in tumors with low interferon, making “cold” tumors more visible to the immune system.

→ Lab tests confirmed the AI’s prediction, showing a ~50% increase in antigen presentation in human neuroendocrine cells
→ Potential impact: Could make tumors more responsive to immunotherapy
→ AI significance: Demonstrates that large models can generate new scientific knowledge, not just analyze existing data
→ Research access: C2S-Scale 27B and resources are now available to the scientific community

Why is important: This is a rare instance where AI created new scientific knowledge, not just analyzed existing data. Models like Gemma could accelerate breakthroughs in cancer research and beyond.

HOW TO AI

💻 How to Use 300+ ChatGPT Prompts to Supercharge Your Work Across Any Job Role

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use ChatGPT’s 300+ ready-made prompts for any job role to save time and get better results, from writing emails and analyzing data to coding and creating campaigns.

🧰 Who is This For

• Sales reps who need polished outreach emails, follow-ups, or CRM summaries.

• Marketers looking to generate ad copy, campaign ideas, and SEO briefs.

• Product managers who want clear reports, user stories, and research insights.

• Engineers needing instant code help, documentation, and debugging prompts.

• Designers creating creative briefs, wireframes, and content ideas.

STEP 1: Access Prompt Packs

Head to the OpenAI Academy. Once you’re there, you’ll see a clean dashboard under “Content → Prompt Packs”. At the top, you’ll find the main category, ChatGPT for any role, followed by specific packs such as:

• ChatGPT for Sales

• ChatGPT for Product

• ChatGPT for Customer Success

• ChatGPT for Engineers

Each one contains prompts specifically built for real-world use cases in that field.

STEP 2: Choose Your Role

Click on the pack that best fits your job.

For example, if you’re in Sales, click “ChatGPT for Sales.” You’ll be redirected to a dedicated page showing detailed prompt collections organized by use case, like outreach, communication, lead qualification, and CRM automation.

Each use case includes two columns:

• Prompt: The exact text to paste into ChatGPT.

• URL: A “Try it in ChatGPT” button that opens the prompt directly inside ChatGPT.

STEP 3: Try a Prompt in ChatGPT

Click on “Try it in ChatGPT.”

It’ll automatically open a new ChatGPT window with the pre-written prompt ready to go in your input box.

For instance, in the Sales pack, one of the prompts says:

“Write a short, compelling cold email to a [job title] at [company name] introducing our product. Use the background below to customize it. Background: [insert value props or ICP info]. Format it in email-ready text.”

Simply replace the placeholders with your details, hit enter, and watch ChatGPT generate a professional, customized output instantly.

STEP 4: Explore and Save Your Favorites

Once you’ve tested a few prompts, you can bookmark your most-used ones or copy them into your workflow.

Because each pack is professionally optimized, you’ll notice outputs are:

• Sharper in tone and context.

• Aligned to your industry jargon.

• Structured for real-world tasks.

You can also adapt them further by adding details about your product, company, or communication style.
