Thirteen accounts' clips were open by 6 and I kept four, then read 7 launch stories. First a cartoon wife who plans to see the world as a ghost, then a girl kissing a finger heart loose in a rainy car, a frog flying on his own tongue, and a mango buying a tomato husband. In the launches: a 30-second video model, a chat-driven video agent, Bluesky building little games, Meta's open model on two Macs. Last, a travel agent who posted beaches and wondered why nobody booked.

A popular AI video tool's 4.0 model: 30-second takes, 15 reference assets, 10 keyframes

A popular AI video tool has shipped version 4.0 of its video model, and the detail I care about is native 30-second generation, so one long take can carry a whole story. It also accepts up to 15 reference assets and 10 keyframe inputs, which is frame-level control over who is in the shot and how one scene hands over to the next. 10-bit HDR at 4K is promised soon. I'd try this today if you build serials and lose your characters between cuts.

PearlMountain launches an AI video agent that builds a video from a chat and your documents

PearlMountain, a Hong Kong company, has launched an AI video agent that works like a chat. You hand it what you already have, a product page, a brief, a presentation, a report, and it scripts, plans scenes, designs, animates and edits in one pass, while the fine creative calls stay with you. No blank timeline; you start with the message. I'd try this today if you sit on documents nobody will read, because the explainer is already written and you just have not filmed it.

Bluesky's Attie now makes small games, polls and dashboards you can share as websites

Bluesky's Attie launched earlier this year as a way to build your own feed with AI. Now it makes small social apps too, games, polls and dashboards, and each one gets its own website you can share. That is the detail I like: the thing you make leaves the app and lives at a link, so it travels anywhere, not just inside Bluesky. I'd try this today if you run a community and want a game or a poll that is yours rather than a platform's.

One impossible move real life forbids

Each of today's clips does one thing a body cannot do, and does it in 3D so it looks easy: a wife turns ghost to travel, a kiss sends a heart across a car, a tongue becomes a rotor, a mango buys a man. I think these work right now because the impossible move is also the message the viewer wants to send someone, so the clip gets forwarded rather than just watched. A forward is worth ten likes.

1. The wife who will travel the world as a ghost

The wife who will travel the world as a ghost

📈 675,576 views · 920× @____babyrhymeai's usual

▶ Watch on Instagram

A cartoon wife tells her husband she will only see the world after she dies, as a ghost: no fare, no visa, no permission. She bursts into sparkles and floats past Pisa, a pagoda in blossom, Swiss slopes and Dubai's tallest tower while he gasps.

“South Korea bi 😍😍😍😍 only BTS ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌”

— a viewer, @saher21236

Why it works:

  • Open on the hands-on-hips. I think a tiny wife squaring up to a slumped husband tells the whole fight before she speaks.
  • Make the threat absurd. Travelling as a ghost needs no fare, no visa and no permission, and each clause is a jab.
  • Grant the wish on screen. Pisa, a pagoda, Swiss slopes and Dubai arrive in seconds, so the joke becomes a trip she takes.

2. She kisses a finger heart and it fills the car

She kisses a finger heart and it fills the car

📈 605,233 views · 182× @vi.le.ai's usual

▶ Watch on Instagram

A 3D girl in a rain-streaked car at night holds a glowing finger heart to her lips and smiles down the lens. She kisses it loose and it lifts off, sparkling and swelling, until a huge heart fills the frame and she reaches after it.

“Amei e postei desculpa só troquei a música ❤️”

— a viewer, @paula4o_seon_hui

Why it works:

  • Say nothing at all. I count not one word in seven seconds, so anyone can forward it with their own meaning attached.
  • Hold the lens eye contact. She smiles straight down the lens, heart at her lips, so the viewer is the one receiving it.
  • Let the small thing grow. The heart lifts off her fingers and swells until it fills the frame, which is the whole payoff.

3. A frog's tongue becomes a helicopter above a canyon

A frog's tongue becomes a helicopter above a canyon

📈 67,012,228 views · 164× @funnyfroggystudio's usual

▶ Watch on Instagram

A green frog, a red snake worn like a swim ring, rolls across a savanna with hyenas on rolling balls behind him. At the canyon edge he spins his tongue like a rotor and lifts off; the hyenas sail over the cliff into the river.

“Itna free hoon ki 8 :53 second ki video poori dekh li 😂”

— a viewer, @mr__beatz____

Why it works:

  • Give the chase a gimmick. I think hyenas riding rolling fluffy balls beat running hyenas, and the gag shows in frame one.
  • Make the tongue a rotor. The frog's tongue becomes a helicopter rotor at the cliff edge, a move nobody sees coming.
  • Pay off the villains. The hyenas splash into the river below, so the viewer gets the comeuppance they wanted.

4. A mango buys a tomato husband with diamonds

A mango buys a tomato husband with diamonds

📈 557,555 views · 105× @ai_world_with_me2's usual

▶ Watch on Instagram

A mango woman offers a diamond ring to a ragged tomato and his weeping coconut wife outside a mud hut. The wife sells him for the diamonds, the mango drags him to a padlocked golden door, asks if he truly loves his wife, and cuts out.

“Seekarama next part kudunga bro😂”

— a viewer, @charupons

Why it works:

  • Cast fruit in a melodrama. I have never seen a mango in sequins offer diamonds to a ragged tomato, nor has anyone.
  • Let the poor wife choose. She sells her husband for the diamonds, a betrayal that makes viewers pick a side before the cut.
  • End on the locked door. The padlocked golden door and one question about love cut out unanswered, so viewers ask for part two.

Make one like this in Klovera

Take the one thing your customer wishes they could do, let a cartoon version of them simply do it, and put your product in as the thing that made it possible.

Your prompt — paste into Klovera

Concept: Hook (0–2s): a tiny 3D cartoon grandmother on a snowy village bench knits a red scarf already longer than the bench. Turn: she stands, flicks her wrists, and the scarf shoots out and wraps the whole shivering street. Payoff: the street glows warm under one enormous scarf while she keeps knitting. Why people share it: everyone has a grandmother who thinks one more layer fixes everything. 9:16 vertical, 12 seconds. A round 3D cartoon grandmother, white bun, round glasses, a mustard cardigan over a brown wool dress and fur-lined boots. A small snowy street at dusk, blue shadows, yellow shop windows, soft falling snow. Key light from a shop window on her face. 35mm look, shallow depth of field, camera starts low and close on the needles and pulls back slowly. 0–2s: close on fast clicking needles, red scarf spilling off the bench into the snow. 2–4s: she looks up at a boy in a thin jacket hugging himself across the street and tuts. 4–8s: she stands, flicks both wrists, and the scarf flies out like a ribbon, looping the lamp posts, the boy, a stray dog and a bus shelter, the camera rising to show the whole street wrapped in red. 8–11s: the snow stops, the light warms to orange, the boy grins. 11–12s: she sits, picks up the needles and glances at the lens. At 2s she says, "Hold still, the whole street is shivering." Location sound: needles clicking, soft wind, a distant bus. Music: warm acoustic guitar with glockenspiel, about 95 BPM, gentle and hopeful, swelling at 4s when the scarf flies.

🤫 The Daily Secret

Sell the excuse, not the beach

A travel agent asked me last week how she could use AI to grow her business. She runs a two-person shop booking honeymoons and family trips, posts a beach every day, gets likes from other agents and bookings from nobody, and wanted to know what she should make instead. I looked at her feed. It was lovely and it was useless. Every post said the Maldives is beautiful, which the Maldives already knows how to say, and which nobody needs an agent to tell them.

Here is what I told her, and I believe it: nobody scrolls past your beach because they doubt the beach. They scroll past because they have a reason not to go, and your post never touches it. The husband who says next year. The dog. The feeling that it costs too much to even ask. Removing those reasons is her whole job, so her feed should be about the reasons, not the water. Most agents sell the destination. I would sell the excuse, then kill it on screen.
