Everyone's a musician

Remember when The Beatles got together for one last song? It got mixed reviews, but the fact that one of the biggest bands of all time embraced AI set a precedent. AI was going to change the music industry. From writing songs to generating entire tracks, many predicted an AI-powered musical revolution.

TwoShot is one of those AI apps looking to make its mark on the music scene. Launched last week, It is focused on making music accessible to all by letting you craft tracks with your voice, text prompt, or just by humming into a mic. 

Say you’re working on a lo-fi track to stimulate productivity. You can instruct TwoShot to generate a “melody of flutes inspired by nature” and then pair it with a chill drum line by beatboxing into your mic. The AI will turn it into a full-fledged, professional-sounding track. 

It also comes with a library of over 200,000 samples, ranging from rock to country music and everything in between, that you can grab for inspiration or even use the AI to remix into something new to create your next banger. 

One of the most powerful features is TwoShot's plethora of different models. While building your track, you can swap your chosen AI model at any stage for a different one, including ones built by big names. Say you want your lyrics to have a female voice. You can load up the “Grimes” model with your prompt or existing sounds, and it will work it into a more Grimes-esque sound.

Alongside that, these models are “ethically trained,” according to the team, meaning they usually have attained artist permission to use their likeness or have worked with them to create the model itself, like in the case of the Grimes one above. 

Tellers is a new platform that aims to automate much of the video-editing process with the help of AI. All you have to do is provide a script or even an article, select a source for your video clips, and you will be presented with a ready-to-publish video in a few moments.

Seen is a video-based app founded by MCU star Karen Gillan and serial entrepreneur Faheem Kajee. It aims to bring the joy back into sharing funny videos. It lets you quickly share a TikTok video to one person or a group chat. From there, users have to record a live reaction as they are watching it. 

Agent Mode is a new AI featured by dev-tool company, Warp. It’s kind of like an always-on technical assistant inside your terminal. It can guide you through development workflows, telling you what commands you need to run and it can execute different tasks, with your permission. 

Cal.com and Supabase launched a boilerplate that lets you more easily build marketplaces, especially ones where users book other users times. It’s built on the company’s Atoms technology, so it can natively handle user-to-user scheduling. 

Dualite 2.0 lets you export your Figma design into usable code in a matter of minutes. The latest update can generate high-quality and reusable components for developers, while Page Mode converts userflows and pages to code.
