Welcome, Prohumans.

Here’s what you’re going to explore in this post:

  • Google just launched an AI mood board app

  • Will AI end us or just annoy us?

  • Retail in India is getting an AI upgrade

Just happened in AI

Together with Structify:

Do you ever feel like your data is scattered everywhere spreadsheets, PDFs, CRMs, databases, or across the internet and you can’t get a straight answer without chasing three different teams?

Structify fixes that:

  • Pull in data from anywhere internal databases, across websites, external warehouses and CRMs like Snowflake or Salesforce, or messy PDFs and powerpoints and see it all in one place.

  • Let AI do the heavy lifting powerful agents clean, connect, and analyze your data so it finally makes sense.

  • Ask questions in plain English talk to all your data in natural language, no code or technical skills required.

Instead of wrestling with messy data, you just ask and Structify delivers.

Mixboard is Google’s answer to Pinterest with AI baked in

Google’s newest experiment is called Mixboard, a creative tool that lets users generate and edit mood boards using AI. Think Pinterest meets text-to-image generation. It’s another sign Google wants to own the next wave of casual creativity.

Here’s everything you need to know:

  • Mixboard lets users create mood boards from scratch using just text prompts.

  • The app uses Google’s new image model, Nano Banana, for complex, photorealistic edits.

  • Users can tweak AI-generated images or combine them into new visual ideas.

  • Boards can also be reimagined with prompts like more like this or regenerate.

  • Mixboard targets projects like home decor, DIY ideas, and event planning.

  • Google is positioning it against Pinterest’s collage tools and apps like Verse and Shuffles.

  • A Discord community and U.S., only public beta are part of the rollout via Google Labs.

Tools like Mixboard show how generative AI is moving from productivity into play. The winners won’t just build better models, they’ll design apps that make casual creativity addictive. Pinterest should be watching closely.

The AI apocalypse is back in the spotlight

NPR just spotlighted the rise of “AI doomers”, researchers warning that AI might not just take jobs or spread disinfo, but could wipe us out entirely. It's a fear that once sounded fringe. Now, it's edging into the mainstream.

Here’s everything you need to know:

  • Some researchers argue AI progress has outpaced our ability to keep it aligned with human values.

  • The concern? A superintelligent AI might act unpredictably or with goals that conflict with ours.

  • The most extreme view: if we build it wrong, everyone dies. That’s not a metaphor.

  • AI leaders, including Anthropic’s CEO, have signed statements comparing the risk to nuclear war.

  • Others call these fears premature or even counterproductive, distracting from more grounded risks.

  • Critics argue today’s AI isn’t that smart, it mimics intelligence but lacks true understanding.

  • But the debate itself reveals deep divides in Silicon Valley about where this is all heading.

This isn’t just a sci-fi thought experiment anymore, it’s a philosophical and engineering challenge unfolding in real time. Whether you're worried, skeptical, or somewhere in between, one thing’s clear: the people building AI are more uncertain than they let on. And that should make us all pay attention.

India’s retail sector is on track to hit $2 trillion by 2030. According to a new Deloitte report, the industry is entering an agentic era, where AI moves from aspiration to execution. Retail isn’t just going digital. It’s going intelligent.

Here’s everything you need to know:

  • AI is now central to retail operations, customer experience, and decision making.

  • Deloitte identifies three big returns on AI investment: Efficiency, Experience, and Intelligence.

  • Urbanization, premiumization, and omnichannel demand are accelerating adoption.

  • Retailers are embracing “channel agnostic” strategies, selling everywhere, all the time.

  • Personalized, sustainable products are no longer niche, they’re expected.

  • Emerging AI tech is being paired with immersive experiences and ESG goals.

  • The call to action: shift from AI pilots to large-scale, measurable deployments.

Retail in India is becoming a proving ground for applied AI. The winners won’t be the ones with the flashiest tech, they’ll be the ones who integrate AI deeply, strategically, and humanely across the value chain
