Good Morning!
There’s three types of people - those who drink hot coffee all year round, those who drink iced coffee all year round and those to switch it up with the seasons. Which one are you? ☕️
What You Missed This Week:
1. 📱 Netflix plans adds TikTok-style feed and expands AI recommendations
A new vertical video feed is coming to Netflix later this month after testing the feature over the past year. The short-form feed is designed to help users discover shows, movies, and video podcasts more easily. The company also said it will use AI more broadly for recommendations, content creation, and advertising after launching a ChatGPT-powered search feature last year. (TechCrunch)
2. 📈 Set it & Forget it, AEO/SEO Software & Service
Most SEO agencies are still stuck optimizing for Google rankings… while your buyers are already searching inside tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Ranked is built for what actually matters now. We use them ourselves because:
SEO/AEO software & service — It covers everything you'd get with SEMRush, Ahrefs or Profound at a fraction of the cost. Track as many keywords as you want on all AI search engines, Ranked AI will get you ranked on them for you.
Managed for you — you won't have to do it yourself, it's a full service, embedded into software with a focus on AI search.
No crazy contracts — all plans are month-to-month, starting at just $99/month
Just a team that figured out how to make SEO actually affordable and effective. They have over 5,000 active clients for a rason... mostly for agencies that white-label them. So cut the middleman and go straight to the source!
3. 🧪 Microsoft is Testing OpenClaw-Like AI Bots for 365 Copilot
If you can’t beat them, copy them? Microsoft is reportedly looking for ways it can integrate Open Claw-style features into 365 Copilot as part of its efforts to make the AI assistant “run autonomously around the clock” completing tasks on behalf of users. (The Verge)
4. 👟 Allbirds is an AI Company Now
Why make shoes when you can make AI computing infrastructure? Shoe manufacturer Allbirds sold its intellectual property and other assets to American Exchange Group for $39 million last month. Now, it’s becoming NewBird AI and is raising up to $50 million in funding with expectations of closing in Q2. (CNBC)
5. 🥵 Stressing About Which Agency Will Grow Your Biz?
"After 5+ years of wasting countless hours interviewing & hiring what seemed like a never-ending list of cookie-cutter agencies… I turned to Max for help, who introduced me to 3 agencies that are all better fits than any we had hired in the past.
These intros landed my company, Mace Security International, Inc. (yes, we make Pepper Spray), an ideal partnership with a perfect agency for our paid traffic goals.
It cost us nothing, was amazingly simple, and ended up with a partnership that grew our business significantly. 5 out 5 would recommend! -Kunal, Head of Digital Strategy @Mace Security International
