The Latest in AI
AI Powerpoint Giant Gamma Raises $68M
Gamma just hit a $2.1 billion valuation on a $68M Series B led by Andreessen Horowitz, with CEO Grant Lee confirming the company hit $100M in annual recurring revenue profitably.
Not bad for a team of about 50 people…
What makes this even more impressive?
Gamma raised just ~$90 million total to reach double unicorn status—one of the leanest paths to a $2B valuation in AI history.
The company serves 70 million users who create AI-generated presentations, websites, and social media posts through its platform.
The round included a $20 million secondary offering, giving early employees liquidity—a rare move that rewards the team that built it.
So What?
While other AI startups burn through billions chasing AGI, Gamma quietly built a profitable business solving real problems for real people. Their model proves you don't need massive funding rounds to reach unicorn status—just a product people actually want to pay for.
The timing couldn't be better. As companies look to cut costs and boost productivity, tools that replace expensive design agencies and lengthy creation processes become must-haves rather than nice-to-haves. Gamma's showing that the boring parts of business—making decks, building sites—are ripe for disruption.

Nano Banana 2 is Coming…
Google's about to make your phone an AI image powerhouse. Nano Banana 2 (internally codenamed GEMPIX 2) is reportedly launching on this week with some serious upgrades that'll make the original look like a practice run…
Specs that have been leaked:
Native 2K generation with 4K upscaling—professional-grade output that rivals desktop tools, right from your phone.
Built on Gemini 3 Pro Image, bringing massive improvements to text integration, prompt understanding, and those tricky details the first version struggled with.
Multi-step generation workflow that plans, generates, reviews, and corrects errors iteratively.
Support for multiple aspect ratios (1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 9:16, 16:9, and 21:9) and resolution modes (1K, 2K, 4K).
So What?
The original Nano Banana brought over 10 million new users to Gemini in just weeks and sparked a cultural moment with those 3D figurine portraits everyone was making. Version 2 is Google's play to dominate on-device AI image generation before Apple and others catch up.
With improved cultural context awareness and faster generation speeds (under 10 seconds for complex prompts), Nano Banana 2 positions Google to own mobile creative tools. If the specs hold up, designers, marketers, and creators will have studio-quality results in their pockets.

Build a Web App in Minutes with Base44
Base44 makes building apps ridiculously easy. This no-code AI app builder lets you create functional web apps using nothing but plain English prompts (no programming required).
Here's how to get started:
Start with a clear prompt. Head to Base44 and describe what you want in simple terms. For example: "Create a task manager app where users can add, categorize, and complete tasks with progress tracking." The AI will generate your app's interface and backend automatically.
Customize using the Visual Editor or AI Chat. The preview window shows your live app. Toggle to the Dashboard to manage user access, analytics, security settings, and more. Use the Visual Editor to adjust colors, fonts, and layout, or continue refining via the AI Chat using natural language.
Add authentication and payments. Base44 makes it simple to add user login systems and Stripe payment integration for subscriptions. You can also connect AI agents for conversational features, all through the dashboard.
Test and publish. Interact with the Preview as an end user would. Once satisfied, click Share to generate a link for colleagues, or hit Publish to make it public. Base44 handles hosting—no deployment hassles.
🔥 Power User Tip: Use Discuss Mode in the bottom right of the AI Chat to have deeper conversations with the AI about complex logic, validate behaviors, and explore alternatives before applying changes. It's like having a technical co-founder to bounce ideas off.
