The Ultimate Prompt Corner

Prompt of the Week (Visuals)

This model creates consistent videos of the same person in different scenes.

Step 1: Give it a picture of your subject.

Step 2 (Prompt): a person plays handheld video game in a sunny balcony. The camera stays in mid frame as he leans forward in concentration, tapping buttons rapidly and focusing harder, then suddenly cheering up and making a fist pump over his victory

Bonus Prompt (Utility):

Head-to-Head: Google Veo vs. OpenAI Sora 2
We tested both models with the same simple, cinematic prompt.

Prompt: a gymnast flips on a balance beam, cinematic.

The results are incredibly close. Which one looks more realistic to you? Try for yourself and share with us.

In the AI era, the way we interact is evolving. Prompting isn't just typing - it's thinking out loud with precision. Your ideas are the new interface, and the choice is clear: adapt and harness the power of AI, or risk getting automated. There's no middle ground - it's full engagement or getting left behind.

AI for Interactive Experiences: What We Discovered and How it is done

  • Characters that feel alive: Using ChatGPT + memory frameworks, we built chat-based characters that carry personality and context—turning flat scripts into engaging companions.

  • Stories that adapt to you: With tools like Inworld, Replika, and AI Dungeon, creators can design “choose your own adventure” worlds where every decision reshapes the narrative in real time.

  • How to Start Creating Interactive AI Experiences

    1. Define your world – Sketch the character’s backstory, role, and the kind of choices users can make.

    2. Pick your tool – Use ChatGPT with memory, or platforms like Inworld / AI Dungeon for ready-made interactivity.

    3. Test & refine – Play through as a user, tweak dialogue and choices until the story flows naturally.

Creativity isn’t dying — it’s evolving faster than your excuses.

What’s the Tea☕️

  • Surgery on an Egg — Robotic Precision Redefined

    Imagine peeling an eggshell, operating on the yolk, and stitching it back without cracks. That’s no metaphor — robots can now do it. This breakthrough in micro-precision surgery could reshape medicine, from delicate eye ops to heart repairs, showing how far surgical robotics has come.

  • Wika’s AI Engagement: A woman named Wika announced her engagement — not to a person, but an AI chatbot named Kasper. She stresses it’s not about replacing human love, but creating a different kind of connection.

  • AI Actress “Tilly Norwood” Debuts

    At Zurich Summit, Xicoia (Particle6 spin-off) revealed Tilly Norwood, an AI actress already drawing interest from major agencies.

    • First sketch: AI Commissioner comedy role

    • Studios that once dismissed AI actors are now courting them

      Raises the question: When your co-star is synthetic, what happens to Hollywood?
