Stuart Lawrence shared thisFantastic milestone for the team working on #AgileFilmmaking.Stuart Lawrence shared thisOur team has been hard at work, and we can't wait to share the news with you! Introducing DeepEditor Beta — launching today! ✂ Editors have traditionally had to make the best film possible with the material they received from the shoot. If dialogue needed to be changed, it often meant a reshoot or compromises in post-production. With DeepEditor, our AI-driven editing tool, we are redefining what’s possible in post-production and helping budgets go further. 🚀 DeepEditor allows filmmakers to update dialogue and refine performances to tell the best version of their story. Editors can now select the perfect performance from the original shoot without capturing countless takes from every angle. This marks a major leap in refinement and control, dramatically transforming what’s achievable in post-production and enabling tight film budgets to stretch further than ever before. ✅ Most importantly, DeepEditor is industry-leading ethical AI. Supported by Flawless' Artistic Rights Treasury (A.R.T.), which gives performers the ability to review and consent to every DeepEdit, DeepEditor upholds the ethical standard backed by SAG-AFTRA. We’re empowering creators to realize their vision and create without compromise. Apply for the Beta at https://lnkd.in/g-63wt7c and have a look at what it can do below ⬇ #DeepEditor #AgileFilmmaking #PostProduction #AI

Stuart Lawrence shared thisWe experienced a deluge of coverage and interest this week, as the talented team at Flawless continue to deliver ground-breaking #generativeAI for filmmakers.Stuart Lawrence shared thisThis just blew my mind! 👀 Generative AI is revolutionising the film and video industry. 📽 Today’s trending topic on Reddit is about the neural network lab Flawless. Through a process CEO Scott Mann calls "#vubbing", TrueSync uses generative AI to match an actor's mouth movements with dubbed dialogue, making it as genuine as the original. This is just the beginning of what #generativeAI can do in the film industry, creating hyper-realistic, synthetic videos in minutes. What are your thoughts?

Stuart Lawrence liked thisStuart Lawrence liked thisAI PM interviews are brutal now. Save these questions before your next AI interview: (𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵 + 𝘴𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦 ♻️) You can’t "CIRCLES" your way through RAG, evals, hallucinations, agents, latency, and model trade-offs. 1. AI Product Sense How would you design an AI assistant for a specific workflow? How would you improve ChatGPT, Perplexity, Cursor, or Notion AI? How would you design an AI feature where the output may be wrong? 2. Technical AI Fluency Explain RAG to a non-technical stakeholder. When would you use RAG vs. fine-tuning? How would you choose between GPT, Claude, Gemini, or open-source models? 3. Evals + Metrics How would you evaluate whether an AI feature is working? How would you build an eval set before launch? How would you measure hallucination rate? 4. RAG + Context Engineering How would you design a RAG system for enterprise knowledge search? How would you know if retrieval is failing? What would you do if the model gives the wrong answer despite retrieving the right document? 5. Agentic Workflows How would you design an AI agent for customer support? What tools should an AI agent access? How would you prevent unsafe actions? 6. Failure Modes + Guardrails What would you do if the AI gives a confident but wrong answer? How would you design fallback paths? How would you decide whether an AI product is safe enough to launch? 7. Prototyping / Builder Mindset Tell me about an AI prototype you built. How would you prototype an AI feature in one week? What would you hand off to engineering after validating it? 8. Cost, Latency, Quality, Risk How would you balance accuracy vs. latency? How would you reduce LLM cost without hurting UX? When would you use a smaller model? 9. AI Strategy + GTM What AI product would you build for this company? How would you price an AI feature? How would you create a moat around an AI product? 10. Behavioral / AI Curiosity Why do you want to work on AI products? What AI tools do you use every week - show me? Tell me about a time an AI product you worked on failed. Now here’s the uncomfortable truth: THERE IS NO MAGIC FRAMEWORK FOR ANSWERING THESE. You can memorize STAR. You can memorize CIRCLES. You can memorize “define the user, identify the problem, prioritize solutions.” But none of that saves you when the interviewer asks: “How would you debug a RAG system?” “How would you evaluate hallucination rate?” “How would you test an AI agent before giving it access to customer data?” The only way to answer them well is to have actually learned the core AI PM skills! If you want to master all frontier AI skills so you can ace AI interviews at any company and become AI-native PM & operator, then our #1 AI PM Certification is for you.

Stuart Lawrence liked thisStuart Lawrence liked this“I’d never hire in Tunisia”… Said a CEO of a Global SaaS Business. That’s until we had a coffee. He was unaware that Tunis is low cost location with high quality talent and that is within 2.5 hours of Paris, London, Berlin and Amsterdam. Some of the strongest outcomes we’re seeing right now are coming from markets that aren’t saturated, aren’t overhyped and haven’t been properly explored Tunis is just one of many. When customers are looking to save costs we help them find the optimal location. PS - If you’ve been thinking about saving costs on talent then send me a DM.

A very proud moment for us!! For this event, we have a banger of a session in-line, so please join Chris Jackson, David Eales, William Ballantyne & David Johnston. Sponsors: 83zero, Nagarro & MyWorkSpot 💥 AI in Growth: Is AI your best Salesperson?? 💥 AI is reshaping how businesses find, win, and keep customers. From autonomous agents that book meetings and qualify leads to marketing engines that generate personalised campaigns at scale, the promise is clear: do more, faster, cheaper. But how much of this is real, and how much is hype? In this session, we'll explore the growing role of AI across the entire growth function: Sales, Marketing, Partnerships, and Customer Success. Our panel of practitioners will share what's actually working, what's falling flat, and where the human element still wins. We'll be asking: 🫣 Are AI agents genuinely replacing salespeople, or just the bad ones? 😊 Can AI-generated content actually build trust with buyers? 🤔 How are growth teams using AI today and what's the client perception on the other side? 😵💫 Where does AI accelerate growth, and where does it erode it? 🤑 How can the whole go to market process be enabled or derailed by AI? Whether you're a founder, a revenue leader, or anyone responsible for driving growth within a business, this one's for you. Expect honest conversation, real-world examples, and the usual healthy disagreement. Please RSVP ASAP so we can plan for food and drink and ensure your entry to this epic AI event. We look forward to seeing you there! 👍 #AIM #Maidenhead #Community #83zero #Nagarro #Myworkspot

Stuart Lawrence liked thisStuart Lawrence liked thisWe obsess over intelligence. The real risk is behaviour. Most AI conversations still follow the same storyline: Model gets smarter. Outputs get better. Jobs disappear. That mental model is already outdated. And it breaks once you step into agentic AI. Models are just one aspect. And honestly, they’re becoming the least differentiating part of the stack. We’ve moved past tools that answer questions. We’re building systems that plan, act, remember, recover, and improve over time. That changes everything. Because once AI becomes operational, the real work begins. ML foundations turn data into signals. Deep learning finds patterns at scale. GenAI creates text, images, audio, video. AI agents execute. Agentic AI coordinates intent at scale. And suddenly we’re no longer “using AI”. We’re managing behaviour. Memory. Feedback. Cost. Risk. Control. Failure modes. None of that is glamorous. But that is where value and trust are actually created. The question to start asking is: “What happens when this fails, forgets, or confidently does the wrong thing?” That answer will decide whether AI becomes leverage or liability. ♻️ Repost to help someone see the bigger picture. 🔔 Follow Clare Kitching for insights on unlocking value with data & AI. 🍭 Get more from me with my free newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/ghBtk6jR Thanks to my friend Luís Rodrigues for the visual inspiration, give him a follow!
