ChatGPT's New Image Tool Makes AI Art Effortless
OpenAI just released an amazing update to ChatGPT that gives it powerful new image creation abilities.
This tool can now understand and create visuals in ways that were impossible before:
- It can follow instructions in natural language, allowing users to create without learning how to prompt specifically for image generation (which has been a barrier to entry for most current image generators)
- You can easily make changes and fixes to your images with follow-up instructions
- It handles text in images with much higher accuracy than most current contenders
- It can easily change the style of any image when you provide another image as reference
This isn’t just another small improvement. This is like giving ChatGPT the mind of a professional designer.
It’s not just following prompts and applying filters– it actually thinks and creates like an artist.
Why this Matters
We’ve seen creators effortlessly creating YouTube thumbnails and social media content with this new feature.
This will fundamentally disrupt all creative workflows with tools like Canva, Figma, Photoshop, and ComfyUI.
The time between having an idea and making it real just got much shorter.
My Content Engine: the Notion System Behind 100M+ Views
I used to be the bottleneck in my own YouTube channel.
And with a team of multiple video editors, thumbnail designers, and social media managers… it was an expensive problem that I desperately needed to fix.
My entire team had adopted AI tools to speed up their individual creative workflows, but we had no systems to allow our operations to keep up with the creatives.
Which meant that we kept falling behind on our upload schedules. That’s why I built my Content Engine in Notion.
This system helps me keep all my ideas organized and projects on track.
It’s so simple to run that I’ve delegated content production over to an executive assistant so that I can fully focus on the creative side.
I’ve even setup systems to connect AI automations to create a self-sustaining production process.
With this Content Engine, we now run the entire production of multiple YouTube channels for some of the biggest brands in the education space.

Google's Gemini 2.5: The New AI Powerhouse for Creators
Google just dropped Gemini 2.5, which puts it ahead of competitors in two critical areas.
First, it now claims the title of “smartest AI” based on benchmark tests across reasoning, math, and coding tasks.
Second, and perhaps more important for creators, it now offers a context window at over 1 million tokens, making it the largest context model to date.
For perspective, we uploaded the entire transcript of our 3-hour long podcast and it didn’t even break 5% of the allotted space…
Why this Matters
The massive context window is enough to process up to 1,500 pages of text or 30,000 lines of code simultaneously.
You could upload entire books or entire video catalogs to Gemini and have it analyze and create new content.
The model also excels at coding, allowing users to generate entire video games with just a few sentences to prompt. And all of this is free to access.
