ONE AI Ad Makes $100K/mo (Arcads Founder's Playbook)
Greg Isenberg • July 31, 2025
Greg Isenberg interviews Romain Torres on how Arcads’ AI ad platform—featuring a hook generator, a 1,000+ actor library, V3 creative scenes, and Gumloop automations—enables clients to produce, test, and scale AI-driven ads that can hit $100K+ per month or more.
Key Takeaways:
- Arcads’ internal hook generator, trained on its database of winning ads, crafts attention-grabbing openings like “True fact, most people never stick with learning a new language” and lets users bulk save and A/B test hooks.
- The platform offers over 1,000 AI actors filterable by gender, age, setting, accessories, and emotion, plus 11 Labs voice integration, allowing brands to generate and localize UGC-style ads in 20+ languages within seconds.
- Arcads supports V3 scene creation and an “extend” feature to stitch multiple 8-second AI clips into longer videos, and integrates via API with Gumloop, Facebook Ad Library, and Gemini to automate scraping, script rewriting, and video production at scale.
Can I Recreate an AI Video With 250+ Million Views in 20 Minutes?
All About AI • July 30, 2025
All About AI recreates a viral AI-generated dog video in about 22 minutes using Gemini and Flux for images, 11 Labs for audio, and Premiere Pro editing, then uploads it to TikTok to test its engagement.
Key Takeaways:
- The creator captured the first frame of the original video and used Gemini to generate a new dog image, with Flux as an alternative for comparison.
- Ambient indoor noise, dog panting, “Oh, wow.” and laughter voiceovers were produced via 11 Labs and synchronized in Premiere Pro.
- Uploaded to TikTok, the recreated video got about 1,000 views, a 20% full-watch rate, but only 10 likes, 1 comment, and 1 share, showing that template replication alone doesn’t ensure virality.
New course: Pydantic for LLM Workflows
Deeplearning.ai • July 30, 2025
In this video, Ryan Keenan, Director of the Learning Experience Lab at DeepLearning.AI, introduces a new course on using the Pydantic Python library to enforce structured and validated LLM outputs for reliable software workflows, demonstrated through customer support and automated tool-call examples.
Key Takeaways:
- Pydantic can define exact data models (e.g., name, email, request text, priority, category, complaint flag, tags) to transform free-form LLM responses into predictable structured output.
- Structured LLM outputs enable automated flows like creating urgent support tickets for human agents or passing parameters to tools for automated password reset links and instructions.
- With over 300 million monthly downloads, Pydantic is one of the most popular Python packages for data validation, offering skills applicable to LLMs, human input handling, external APIs, and any software component integration.
