🗞️ Video Witchcraft. Mind Blown💥🚀

🔥🎬 UGC... Without a Camera is a thing now

Gemini VEO-is here—and it's giving Sora a serious run for its money.2 

This is Google’s new video generation model, capable of producing cinematic, photorealistic clips from just a short prompt. Unlike earlier versions, VEO2 can handle longer shots, camera movement, emotional expressions, and even basic scene transitions—all in stunning 1080p.

We’re entering a new era of AI-generated video that feels almost indistinguishable from human-shot UGC.

Here’s a test run using Gemini VEO-2, which you can access from Google AI Studio. I typed up the following prompt:

Model applies light pink blush, then admires how nice it looks.

The result? A natural-looking beauty routine clip that could easily pass for TikTok content—generated in seconds, not days.

I generated a few of these short clips, downloaded as MP4 and brought them straight into ChatGPT. Then I asked it to:

1. Convert them into GIFs

2. Join them together

3. Add a text box in white on black

4. Animate the text like a stock ticker

But I didn’t stop there.

I then asked it to stretch the first part of my text box to 5 seconds, keep the ticker running, then switch up the message for the second clip with a different animation.

ChatGPT did all of it—no editing software, no video team, just prompts.

Then I asked it to resize the GIF to a vertical format (for Instagram and Reels), and finally...

👉 Convert the whole thing into an MP4, since Instagram doesn’t accept GIF uploads.

Pretty wild, right?

If you’re an e-commerce brand looking to scale content without scaling costs, this is the moment to start experimenting. Video witchcraft is real. Time to cast your first spell.

We’ve officially crossed the line where AI can generate social-ready video content, easily switching between different dimensions and file formats—no scriptwriters, no cameras, no editors. BUT, we still need directors.

Google Firebase Studio Just Dropped—and Made Me Feel Like a Actual Programmer

Google quietly dropped something called Firebase Studio, and I’ve been playing with it this week.

It’s prompt-based, totally visual, and surprisingly smooth to use. No setup, no config files—just open it up and start building.

I didn’t expect much going in, but… it works. And somehow turns your vague descriptions and sketchy instructions into actual code right before your eyes.

Here’s something I built in minutes using nothing but Firebase Studio + plain English prompts:

Breakeven ACoS Calculator — takes your COGS, Amazon fees, and PPC contribution % to show both your true breakeven ACoS and your blended ACoS (because not every sale is ad-driven).

And since I couldn’t resist pushing the visual side too, here’s what I got. It works perfectly!

Once done testing, Firebase gives your the option of hosting it as a standalone app that others can use. This does require 2 things - a Google Studio API key (which is pretty much free) and the hosted service which is so new, I haven’t tried it yet, but I imagine it close to a fraction of a penny per transaction.

While I was at it, I also create Fridge Chef — a playful AI recipe generator for myself that takes random fridge ingredients and returns something actually worth cooking.

Both were built entirely inside Firebase Studio. No code editors. No terminals.
Just pure vibe coding—and real, functional output. And I also got a lot of help from ChatGPT for getting sharper prompts for Firebase. This is becoming more and more of a norm for me (using 2 LLMs to help each other with me, the human in the loop).

If you’ve got a tool idea stuck in your head—or you’ve been waiting for a reason to finally ship something—this is your sign. Firebase Studio is fast, flexible, and surprisingly fun to build with. Whether you’re creating serious calculators or playful recipe apps, it gives you that "I made this" feeling… minus the dev tunnel.

I’m calling it: vibe coding is officially mainstream.

“Semantic Search + Buyer Behavior = The Future of Amazon Ranking”
This week’s mind-blowing research comes from Andrew Bell—hot off the press, published just two days ago.

Andrew, the creator of the most popular Amazon Seller AI Assistants on the GPT Store, just dropped a deep dive into a new Amazon patent that changes how search really works.

At the core?
Semantic similarity + co-purchase behavior = automatic ranking power, even for brand new or niche listings.

Here are 3 must-know takeaways (with action steps) for sellers:

🔶 1. Spark Early Behavior to Get Discovered Faster

Amazon now “borrows” behavior from similar listings when yours is brand new or lacks traffic. But it needs a signal to start with.

👉 Run micro-promotions (like time-limited coupons or a sponsored burst) to seed early clicks and purchases—even just a handful.
These become the behavioral priors that get your product matched to a wider pool of semantically similar searches.

🔶 2. Write Like a Human, Not a Keyword Machine

Exact-match keywords are no longer the golden ticket. Amazon’s AI understands intent—so it surfaces listings written in natural, conversational language.

👉 Refresh your bullets and titles to reflect real-world use cases.
Example:

✅ “Perfect for road trips and early morning hikes”
❌ “Stainless steel mug insulated BPA free”

This expands your reach to long-tail and voice-style queries.

🔶 3. Use “Pairs Well With” to Trigger Smart Cross-Sells

The system learns from what people buy together—and uses that to build smarter search and bundle suggestions.

👉 Use your A+ content and FAQ sections to intentionally suggest complementary products.
Mention items like “Pairs perfectly with our reusable coffee filters” or “Complete the set with our bamboo lid attachment.”

This builds co-acquisition data that boosts you in bundling, recommendations, and related query surfaces.

Big Picture:
Amazon is now rewarding semantic relevance + buyer behavior. You don’t need to wait months to rank—if you spark the loop intentionally, your listings get discovered faster and more often.
