NEWS Meet Robin: The AI Researcher That Just Helped Find a Potential Cure for Blindness.

An AI system named Robin helped discover a potential new treatment for a major cause of blindness, using autonomous research tools.

• Robin, a multi-agent AI, generated hypotheses, designed experiments, and analysed data—humans only handled the physical lab work.

• It identified ripasudil, a glaucoma drug approved in Japan, as a promising treatment for dry age-related macular degeneration (dAMD).

• Robin’s code and its supporting agents—Crow, Falcon, and Finch—will be open-sourced next week.

Why it may be important to you:

This could be a glimpse into the future of science—where AI doesn’t just assist, but actively collaborates in discovery. If AI can help uncover treatments for complex diseases, what else might it help us solve faster, and more creatively, than ever before? Read more

THE GOLD RUSH 🚨5 AI Business Ideas You’ll Wish You Started Sooner.

The AI tide is rising fast—surf it now or watch it crash over you later.

Today’s dive uncovers 5 game-changing AI ideas with real urgency. These aren't abstract fantasies—they’re crystal-clear, monetisable concepts you or your team could start building this week. 🔥

Let’s go 👇

🧾 1. Open Pages: Your Life, Visualised

The Idea: A platform where anyone can create beautiful, data-rich personal dashboards for anything they track: sobriety streaks, surfing sessions, tennis wins, meditation minutes—you name it.

Why now?

• AI tools like Cursor and Notion AI make custom UIs possible for everyone

• Social motivation = sticky engagement

• Existing apps are too generic and siloed

Business Model:
Freemium + Paid Templates/Modules ($10–30/month)

🛠️ Imagine: A public “Reading Journey” page that updates every time you finish a book—automatically.

🧠 2. Health Is Wealth: The AI Health Hub We Deserve

The Idea: ONE unified dashboard that pulls in all your health data—from wearables to doctor records—and gives you AI-driven insights.

Connected Sources:

• CGMs (Continuous Glucose Monitors)

• Oura Ring

• Eight Sleep

• Strava

• Blood tests

• Medications

• Clinical visits

Problem: Your health data lives in silos, and NO AI is helping you make sense of it.

Market Potential:

• $30+/mo from consumers

• Employee wellness benefit for companies

🔑 This is the Plaid of personal health. And no one has nailed it—yet.

🌍 3. Directory GPTs: Talk to the Web Like a Local

The Idea: Turn existing directories (like NomadList, Product Hunt, Zillow) into interactive GPTs.

Example prompt:

Why it wins:

• Static listings ≠ real-time personalization

• GPTs trained on niche datasets outperform general chatbots

• Law firms and consultants are already doing this for lead gen

💡 Every niche directory is a dormant GPT business waiting to launch.

❤️ 4. AI-Powered Dating That Doesn’t Suck

The Idea: Ditch superficial swiping. Let AI match people based on real compatibility—humor, values, lifestyle.

How it works:

• Syncs your meme likes, Goodreads, Spotify, Strava

• Matches based on deep traits

• Auto-suggests blind date times + locations

What changes:

• No profiles. No swipes. Just good dates.

• Real-life chemistry > photo filters

👀 What if Hinge + ChatGPT had a baby… and it actually worked?

🌐 5. Personal Website = Your Knowledge Hub

The Idea: Every personal site should feature an AI-powered knowledge page—not just a newsletter signup.

Why?

• “Subscribe to my newsletter” = fatigue

• “Download my AI prompt pack” = instant value

• Gated, AI-curated content builds trust + email lists fast

Bonus: Add a chatbot trained on your content to answer questions while you sleep.

🚀 Turn passive sites into lead machines.

TL;DR — What’s the Opportunity?

These ideas are early-stage but inevitable. The infrastructure (APIs, GPTs, AI design tools) is ready. What’s missing is you building the product layer.

Here’s what to do this week:

✅ Pick one of the 5
✅ Mock it up in Notion, Framer, or Figma
✅ Validate with 3-5 people
✅ Use GPT-4 + Gemini to prototype

SPOTLIGHT Google’s AI Shake-Up: Is Your Small Business Ready for What Just Changed!

At Google I/O 2025, the tech giant unveiled sweeping updates to its Gemini and Gemma AI models, Google’s search experience is undergoing a massive transformation with its rollout of AI Overviews, Gemini AI integration, and contextual search. These updates are not just cosmetic—they redefine how users discover, evaluate, and act on information. For small businesses, this shift is both a challenge and a golden opportunity.

🔍 What’s New from Google?

1. Gemini 2.5 Pro & Flash: These upgraded models now outperform competitors in reasoning, coding, and multimodal tasks.

2. Deep Think & Deep Research: Tools that allow users to upload documents and receive AI-generated insights, summaries, and recommendations.

3. Gemma 3n: A lightweight, open-source model optimised for mobile and on-device use.

4. AI-Powered Search & Shopping: Google Search now includes AI-generated overviews and product suggestions, changing how users discover businesses

Usefulness:

🛍️ 1. Retail & E-Commerce

Before: Customers typed in keywords and clicked on links from SEO-optimized websites.
Now: Google’s AI understands user intent, offers direct product recommendations, and summarizes reviews and specs—often without needing a click.

What this means:

• AI may highlight product features, pricing, and reviews instantly, pushing traditional rankings lower.

• Google Shopping and Merchant Center are becoming the frontline of discovery.

What to do:

• Optimise product listings with schema mark up so AI can "understand" your inventory

• Use high-quality images, detailed product descriptions, and structured reviews.

• Integrate with Google Merchant Center and keep inventory updated.

• Add FAQs and user-generated content like reviews, which AI can summarise and showcase.

🧑‍💼 2. Professional Services like Plumbers, Consultants, Designers

Before: Users relied on Google Maps, local SEO, or ads to find services.
Now: AI like Gemini Live may recommend local professionals based on context, reputation, and content relevance.

What this means:

• Users might never see a “10 Best Plumbers in X” article—they’ll just get an answer.

• Google may pull directly from your Google Business Profile, reviews, and FAQs.

What to do:

• Keep your Google Business Profile updated.

• Encourage reviews and FAQs that AI can reference.

• Use AI tools to generate helpful content that answers common client questions.

• Add video walkthroughs or service explainers that AI may feature as videos have shown to convert more than any other form of media.

🧠 3. Content Creators & Educators

Before: Content discovery relied on keywords and backlinks.
Now: AI-generated summaries and answers may surface your content—or skip it entirely.

What this means:

• AI may quote or summarise your insights—without attribution unless clearly marked.

• Structured, useful content wins. Fluff gets filtered

What to do:

• Focus on clarity and structure in your content.

• Use headings, bullet points, and summaries that AI can easily extract.

• Turn blog posts into YouTube Shorts, TikToks, or carousel posts—AI is increasingly multimedia-aware.

• Add metadata and structured data to your articles and videos.

📈 Why This Matters

Google’s AI updates are not just about speed or novelty—they’re about changing how people interact with the internet. For small businesses, this means:

• Less reliance on traditional SEO: AI-generated answers may reduce organic traffic unless your content is AI-friendly.

• More direct competition: AI tools can compare products and services instantly, making differentiation more important than ever.

• New opportunities: Businesses that embrace AI tools can automate tasks, personalise customer experiences, and reach new audiences.

✅ How to Prepare

1. Audit Your Online Presence: Ensure your website, listings, and content are structured and up to date.

2. Experiment with AI Tools: Use Gemini or ChatGPT to test how your business appears in AI-generated responses.

3. Educate Your Team: Train staff on how AI is changing customer behaviour and how to respond.
