Remember when AI-generated videos looked like fever dreams? Those days are officially over. OpenAI just released Sora 2, and it's not just good—it's genuinely jaw-dropping. Think triple axels with a cat clinging on for dear life, backflips on paddleboards that actually understand buoyancy, and Olympic gymnastics routines that obey the laws of physics instead of bending reality to fit a prompt.

What makes Sora 2 revolutionary is its grasp of failure. Previous video models were overoptimistic—miss a basketball shot, and the ball would magically teleport into the hoop. Sora 2 lets the ball bounce off the backboard like it should. It's not just generating pretty pictures; it's simulating reality.

The real game-changer? OpenAI launched a social iOS app called "Sora" with a feature called Cameos. Record yourself once, and the AI can drop you into any generated scene with remarkable fidelity—your actual appearance and voice. It's like FaceTime met Snapchat met science fiction, and they had a brilliantly weird baby.

Google's Veo3 is impressive, but early feedback suggests Sora 2 is the one to beat. OpenAI called this their "GPT-3.5 moment for video," and from what we're seeing, they're not exaggerating.

ChatGPT is no longer just a clever conversationalist—it's now a doer. OpenAI just launched Apps in ChatGPT, and this is the update that transforms your chatbot into an actual productivity powerhouse. Agents are officially going mainstream.

Here's how it works: Say "Spotify, make a playlist for my party this Friday," and ChatGPT doesn't just suggest songs—it actually creates the playlist. Planning a trip? ChatGPT can search Booking.com for hotels with parking, or browse Zillow (think Property24, but for Americans) for homes that match your budget, complete with an interactive map right inside the chat.

Launch partners include Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Expedia, Figma, Spotify, and Zillow. Coming soon? AllTrails for planning hikes, Peloton for workouts, OpenTable for restaurant bookings, Target for shopping, Uber for rides, and more. The list keeps growing.

This isn't just convenient—it's revolutionary. ChatGPT has evolved from "let me tell you about that" to "let me actually do that for you." The magic is how these apps blend familiar interactive elements with conversational AI, meeting you exactly when you need them.

If Apps in ChatGPT brought agents to the mainstream, AgentKit is handing everyone the keys to build their own. OpenAI just released a complete toolkit that lets developers (and eventually non-developers) create AI agents with drag-and-drop simplicity.

Think of it like n8n or Zapier, but supercharged with AI and living entirely within OpenAI's ecosystem—which means less faffing about with integrations and authentication. AgentKit includes a visual Agent Builder canvas where you can design multi-agent workflows, a Connector Registry for managing data sources, and ChatKit for embedding chat-based agents into your product.

Companies like Ramp built a buyer agent in just a few hours (down from months), and LY Corporation created a work assistant in under two hours. The hope? That building powerful automation becomes accessible to everyone, not just engineers with weeks to spare.

OpenAI is betting big on agents being the next platform shift, and AgentKit is their way of ensuring everyone—not just the tech elite—can participate. If they pull it off, we're looking at a future where your grandma can build a shopping assistant over Sunday tea.

AI is full of jargon, and we’re here to decode it. Each week, we’ll give you a plain-English definition of a buzzy term you’ve probably seen (but never fully understood).

In this section, we aim to spotlight something weird & wonderful in the world of AI.

This week: Meet Tilly Norwood - the AI actress dividing Hollywood

Whoopi Goldberg is furious. Emily Blunt is alarmed. SAG-AFTRA is up in arms. But who—or rather, what—has Hollywood's biggest names so rattled?

Meet Tilly Norwood, the world's first fully AI-generated actress, and she's stirring up one hell of a controversy.

Tilly isn't your typical rising star. Created by Dutch producer Eline van der Velden and her company Particle6 Productions, Tilly is a digital persona crafted from multiple advanced AI programmes. Flawless skin, symmetrical features, endless emotional range—she's designed to be the perfect screen presence. Always ready, endlessly versatile, immune to the pressures of fame, fatigue, or a bad hair day.

Van der Velden envisions Tilly as the next Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman of the AI era—a cost-effective "star" who never demands a pay rise, never needs a stunt double, and never shows up late to set.

Human actors and unions aren't buying it. SAG-AFTRA and stars like Emily Blunt and Whoopi Goldberg argue that Tilly is a tool trained on the work of countless real performers—without their consent or compensation. Acting, they insist, requires humanity rooted in lived experiences and genuine emotions that no algorithm can replicate.

The backlash highlights a deeper fear: AI isn't just threatening jobs—it's threatening the very soul of storytelling. If studios can generate perfect performances on demand, what happens to the craft, the artistry, and the people who've dedicated their lives to it?

Van der Velden defends Tilly as a groundbreaking creative tool, not a replacement for human talent. She argues that AI actors could democratise filmmaking, making high-quality productions accessible to indie creators who can't afford A-list talent.

But the ethical questions remain: Who profits when an AI "actress" books a role? What happens to the performers whose work trained these systems? And can a digital creation ever truly move us the way a human performance can?

Our take? Tilly Norwood is a fascinating—and uncomfortable—glimpse into the future. Whether you see her as an exciting innovation or a troubling threat probably depends on where you sit in the creative ecosystem. One thing's certain: this debate isn't going away anytime soon.
