NINJA AI TOOL

✍️ Meetings Just Got 10x Easier (And You’ll Actually Remember Them)

Quick question:
How much time do you waste taking meeting notes?
(If you’re anything like me... way too much.)

Good news — you don’t have to anymore.

Otter AI is a total game-changer for meetings.

It listens, writes, summarizes, and even remembers stuff for you — so you can actually focus on the meeting instead of typing like a maniac.

Here’s what Otter does:

📝 AI Meeting Agent
Otter jumps into your meetings and automatically transcribes everything while you talk. Once it’s done, you get a summary and a list of action items — no more wondering who said what or what you’re supposed to do next.

💬 Otter AI Chat
Later on, if you need to find something, just ask Otter.
It can pull quotes, write a follow-up email, even create a quick project update based on your meetings.
➔ It’s basically like having an assistant who actually listened.

🔗 AI Channels
Otter also lets you keep the conversation going after the meeting ends.
You and your team can chat with each other (and Otter) inside a “Channel” — perfect for updates, questions, or moving projects along without scheduling 10 more Zoom calls.

Here’s how easy it is to get started:

  1. Head over to Otter AI

  2. Create a FR€E account (super quick, just your email).

  3. Connect your calendar and Zoom/Google Meet/Teams if you want.

  4. Otter will automatically join your meetings and start working.

  5. After the meeting, check out your transcript, summary, action items — and chat with Otter whenever you need something.

That’s it. No more scrambling for notes or trying to remember what your boss said three meetings ago.

AI TUTORIAL

🎯 How to Create Consistent AI Product Photos and Videos (Step-by-Step)

If you’ve ever tried using AI to create product photos, you know the struggle —
logos warp, labels get messy, and consistency is nearly impossible.

But that’s changing fast.

In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn how to create professional, consistent AI product images and videos using Kive AI and RenderNet — two tools that make the whole process way easier.

Here’s how it’s done:

Step 1: Use Kive AI for Professional-Grade Product Photography

🔹 What is Kive AI?
Kive AI lets you train a custom model on your specific product, so your logos, labels, colors, and designs stay exactly right across all your AI images.

🔹 How to Use It:

  1. Visit Kive AI and create an account.

  2. Upload photos of your product from different angles and lighting.
    ➔ (The higher quality the photos, the better.)

  3. Train your AI model by creating a "New AI Model" and naming it.

  4. Compose your ad: Choose your product cutout, scale it, and set up your background prompt (e.g., “bath oil on the beach at sunset”).

  5. Generate images — and tweak orientation, lighting, and placement.

🔹 Extra Features:

  • Upscale to 4K for sharper details.

  • Image-to-Video: Turn your AI images into short videos with camera movements.

  • Erase & Replace Objects: Quickly remove or swap out background elements.

  • Relighting: Change lighting tones (like “red and yellow tones”) across your whole scene.

  • Background Removal: Instantly cut out your product from any setting.

🔹 Pro Tip:
Kive AI’s "Image to Video" tool is solid, but if your product has tiny text details, you might get better video quality using Runway Gen-4 or Kling.

Step 2: Use RenderNet for a More Affordable Option

🔹 What is RenderNet?
RenderNet is a cheaper tool that quickly creates realistic AI product photos and videos — without needing full model training.

🔹 How to Use It:

  1. Visit RenderNet and log in.

  2. Upload your product photo (RenderNet automatically removes the background).

  3. Choose a preset: Pick a scene or model (like a person holding your product).

  4. Scale and place your product realistically in the scene.

  5. Generate the photo — and instantly download it.

🔹 To Create a Video:

  1. Convert the image to video (RenderNet will guide you to crop it).

  2. Write a simple prompt (e.g., “the man smiles as he holds the product”).

  3. Choose Google V2 engine for generation.

  4. Generate — and you’ll get a lifelike, smooth video showing off your product.

🔹 Pro Tip:
RenderNet’s videos have great text fidelity (meaning your logos and labels stay sharp).

Which Should You Use?

  • Kive AI → Best for professional ad campaigns where you need full control.

  • RenderNet → Perfect if you’re looking for a fast, affordable option with solid results.

Both are powerful — it just depends on your needs and budget.

Ready to try?

No more messy logos or weird product labels — now your AI product shots can finally look like the real thing.

That’s all for today, folks!

Hope you have a safe and productive week. I’ll see ya in your inbox on Wednesday @noon EST.
