Runway teases the future of AI video with Motion Brush

It doesn’t get as much hype as it deserves, but Runway might be the startup with the best AI video generation tools. After major leaps in performance over the last year, the company recently announced Motion Brush — a tool that turns images into moving videos with a simple brush tool.

While the tool hasn’t been released yet, there could be some huge new opportunities for content creation. Imagine generating an image using AI, and then turning that image into a short video using Motion Brush — without ever touching a camera or writing a line of code.

The decrease in effort, time, cost, and technical expertise required from such a technological advance could create a boom in video production. Some new use cases we can think of:

• Bringing your presentations to life by converting charts into moving visuals

• Converting old family pictures into moving memories

• Upgrading stock photos to short videos for landing pages and ads

AI AT WORK

Zapier’s GPT lets you automate thousands of work tasks and save hours every week

If you ask someone about automations, Zapier is probably one of the first words that pops up in their mind. The company has become synonymous with automating work tasks through its automation actions and workflows that cover everything from sales functions to data teams.

And now the company has automations that work within ChatGPT as a custom GPT. What this means is that you can now build automations for your work tasks directly within ChatGPT without needing any technical know-how.

You can use these GPTs to create automations for critical workflows and share them with your team, suppliers and customers.

We could explain the whole thing here but setting up these automations can take a few minutes and involve a few different steps. So in order to make it easier for you to follow along and set up automations for your work tasks in ChatGPT, we recommend you watch the video below to get a step by step guide:
