The Halloween edition featured Andy, Beth, and Brian in costume and in high spirits. The team mixed AI news with creative debates, covering Perplexity’s new patent search tool, Canva’s design AI overhaul, Sora’s paid generation system, Cursor 2.0’s multi-agent coding update, and Alexa Plus’s new memory-driven assistant. Andy also led a thoughtful discussion on deterministic vs. non-deterministic AI, ending with how creativity and randomness fuel innovation.
Key Points Discussed
Perplexity Patents – A new tool that uses LLMs to analyze patent databases and surface innovation gaps for inventors and researchers.
Canva’s Design OS – Canva introduced a creative operating system trained on design layers and objects, integrating Affinity and Leonardo for pro-level editing.
Sora Update – OpenAI added a paid tier for extra generations and the ability to create consistent characters across videos.
Cursor 2.0 – Adds voice control, team-wide commands, and a multi-agent setup allowing up to eight coding agents to run in parallel.
Alexa Plus Early Access – New features include deep memory recall, PDF ingestion, calendar integration, and conversational context for smart homes.
Deterministic vs. Non-Deterministic AI – Andy explained why creative AI systems need controlled randomness, linking it to innovation and the value of “explore mode” in LLMs.
Content Creation Framework – Beth shared a method from Christopher Penn for using Gemini to analyze LinkedIn feeds, find content gaps, and spark original posts.
