✈️ Just Landed: What Made AI Unleashed So Different

I literally just got back yesterday from Cancun, Mexico, where we held the very first AI Unleashed—and I have to say, it was one of the coolest events I’ve ever been a part of.

Why? Because it wasn’t like every other event.

Most conferences are heavy on speakers and light on implementation. You take a bunch of notes, get inspired… and then do nothing with it. This was the opposite.
At AI Unleashed, we started the day with lessons—but the real magic happened in the afternoon and evenings during hands-on workshops. This is where people rolled up their sleeves, built real things, and made real progress in their businesses.

For example, in my session on Vibe Coding, not only did we teach core concepts—we actually had 4 to 6 hours to work. And I’m proud to say almost every single person walked away with a working MVP or a completed app.

That kind of follow-through is rare. But the energy at this event was just different.
People stayed up till 2:30 AM building. Not because they had to—because they wanted to. Every coach—from sales to marketing tech to AI to vibe coding—went above and beyond. Everyone cared. Everyone gave.

Big shoutout to Fer Patel and Michael Reimer, who brought this all together, and to the absolutely amazing group of coaches and attendees who made it unforgettable. We only taught one part of the event, but the value dropped across the board was insane.

If you’re ever on the fence about attending an event, look for one like this—where you actually walk away with something tangible, something that moves your business forward.

Below are a few photos I dropped earlier, but I just had to share the experience one more time.

📝 Final Thought

This issue is jam-packed with updates—AI tools, HighLevel news, and that wild Moltbot crypto scandal—so be sure to bookmark this, take your time, and come back to it.

And don’t keep it to yourself:
👉 Forward it to someone who’s trying to level up—we want this newsletter to be a long-term reference tool for the community.

Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you in the next one.
Let’s keep building.

🧨 Five HighLevel Updates That’ll Make You (and Your Clients) More Money in 2026

So here’s the short version:
HighLevel didn’t just drop features.
They dropped income streams disguised as features.

This isn’t your typical “look what’s new” recap. It’s five specific updates—each with its own money play—that agencies (like yours) can start using right now to increase margins, wow clients, and close faster.

Update #1: AI Image Recognition for Bots

Bots can now “see” images sent via:

• Live chat widgets

• Facebook/IG DMs

• SMS & WhatsApp

Clients can send receipts, product shots, even damage reports—and the bot will respond intelligently.

💰 Money Play:

• $500–$1,000 setup fee to enable image response logic

• $50–$100/mo maintenance add-on

• Use in eComm, real estate, home services, car repair—anywhere visuals = value

Pro Tip:
Most bots are still blind. Offer “AI Vision” as a premium tier. Frame it like giving their funnel LASIK.

Update #2: Branded Gift Cards (Beta)

Create slick, branded gift cards with:

• Canva-powered designs

• QR code or email delivery

• Full tracking + expiry options

• Embedded or checkout-ready links

💰 Money Play:

• $1,000–$3,000 for full gift card system setup

• Use in promos, retention, churn reactivation, and upsells

• Bonus: up to 20% of gift cards go unredeemed = pure profit

Real Talk:
It’s not just a nice-to-have—it’s a cash flow accelerator.
Instant money in → services fulfilled later (if at all).

Update #3: AI Workflow Builder

You’ve already seen the hype. This one’s a margin multiplier.

• Speak or type the workflow you want → AI builds it

• Works for appointment reminders, sales sequences, onboarding, etc.

• Handles conditions, triggers, SMS, emails, and more

💰 Money Play:

• $497–$997 workflow audit/optimization packages

• Productized offers: 3 AI-powered workflows = $1,500+

• Faster builds = higher profit at same client price

Pro Tip:
Do it live on sales calls. Build a workflow in 2 mins. Show, don’t sell.

Update #4: AI Site Builder (Now Actually Good)

We’ve seen clunky attempts before—but this one’s legit.

• Speak a site into existence (“Tom’s Landscaping. 50% off first cut. Green & brown theme.”)

• Generates full site w/ testimonials, offers, appointment CTAs, and SEO meta baked in

• Optionally clone competitor’s design structure & rebrand

💰 Money Play:

• Prototype-to-close: Build a rough funnel on the sales call

• Launch full sites in 24h with AI doing 80% of the work

• Create a funnel snapshot shop (niche templates + AI site builder = scalable product)

Pro Tip:
SEO comes baked in. Let clients know their AI site isn’t just pretty—it’s Google-friendly too.

Update #5: In-App Video Testimonials (Beta)

Forget Google Reviews—this is gold.

• Collect video reviews via SMS or email

• Client clicks → camera opens → question appears → they record → it uploads

• Embed anywhere with a widget

💰 Money Play:

• Add video reviews to your review management service

• $100–$200/mo upsell for agencies

• Use as a credibility booster for your white-label CRM

Bonus:
Clients with 70+ video reviews = a whole new level of proof.
And since it’s easy to record, they’ll actually do it.

TL;DR: Five New Features = Five New Revenue Streams

Don’t just “use” these updates. Monetize them:

You don’t need all five to win. But if you’re not using any of them yet, you’re probably leaving both money and margin on the table.

This Is How Businesses Use Zapier in 2026 (Full Breakdown)

You ever look at your to-do list and think, "Yeah, no way that's all getting done today... unless I clone myself?" Same. Zapier is your clone. But better dressed and way better at follow-through.

In 2026, Zapier isn’t just a glue tool anymore. It’s an entire automation operating system with AI, UI builders, bots, and even... agents. Yep, like James Bond for your backend ops.

Here's the full breakdown from the 2026 tutorial, organized for marketers and agencies who want to save time, stop missing leads, and look like they have a full-time ops team (without paying for one)

New Core Features in 2026 (a.k.a. Your Secret Weapons)

• Zapier Interfaces: Build lead forms and internal dashboards without code. Connect them to Zaps or databases (called Tables) instantly.

• Zapier Tables: Centralized mini-databases. Store leads, inventory, client info—and trigger automations from changes.

• AI Chatbots: Add knowledge-base-driven bots to your site or Slack. Qualify leads, answer FAQs, and fire zaps based on replies.

• AI Agents: Autonomous background workers. Think: auto-respond to support emails, update your CRM, Slack your team, and escalate if needed.

• Zapier Canvas: Visual workflow builder. Map out a system, then auto-generate the zaps and agents to make it real.

• Zapier Copilot: An actual chat assistant that builds automations when you ask. It's like ChatGPT, but hardwired into your business.

6 Automations You Can (and Should) Steal Today

1. Lead Capture Form + Notifications + CRM Sync

Build a Zapier Interface form that:

• Captures lead data

• Saves it to a Table

• Notifies your Slack

• Sends a follow-up email

• Adds it to GoHighLevel or your CRM

Pro Tip: Use Copilot to build the entire thing with one command. Say, “Create a lead form that stores in Table A and notifies me in Slack.” Done.

2. AI Chatbot Lead Qualifier

Bot asks:

• Budget

• Timeline

• Are you the decision maker?

• Pain points

Then it:

• Scores them as hot/warm/cold with ChatGPT

• Adds to Table

• If hot, sends to CRM + Slack

Use Case: Replace your discovery call form. Let the bot qualify before you ever talk.

3. Support Email Auto-Responder (AI Agent)

When an email hits your support inbox:

• AI reads it

• Searches a knowledge base (Google Doc, site, Notion)

• Drafts a reply

• If urgent, sends to Slack + creates CRM ticket

Use Case: Outsource tier 1 support to an always-on, never-tired AI teammate.

4. Content Approval Workflow

When a new file hits a Google Drive folder:

• Sends Slack message to review

• Waits for thumbs-up reaction

• Moves to "Published" folder

• Emails confirmation

Pro Tip: Use this to streamline team review processes for blogs, designs, or even client deliverables.

5. Lead Nurture Automation via Canvas + AI

Canvas builds:

• Google Sheets row added = trigger

• Perplexity or GPT researches company

• GPT scores the lead

• Adds to CRM

• Sends 3-email welcome sequence

• Alerts sales team if hot

This is bananas-level automation. You just give the Canvas a prompt, and it draws the whole system.

6. Bonus: Master Dashboard with Tables + Interface

Make a lead pipeline board (like Trello or ClickUp):

• Forms feed into Tables

• Tables power Kanban dashboards

• Drag-and-drop stages fire zaps (e.g., "Send welcome email when card hits 'Sold'")

💡Pro Tip: Use for client onboarding, project status, even internal hiring pipelines.

How to Start (Without Overwhelm)

If you’re new to Zapier 2026, follow this roadmap:

Week 1 - The Basics

• Create free account

• Build 3 simple 2-step Zaps (trigger + action)

• Create an Interface form

• Store submissions in Tables

Week 2 - Intermediate

• Build AI chatbot to qualify leads

• Send to Table + CRM

• Use Canvas to map your next automation

Week 3 - Advanced

• AI Agents for support

• Content approval workflows

• Visual dashboards

• Multi-app, multi-step zaps

By Day 30

• All 6 builds running

• Optimized with Slack alerts, CRM syncs, and auto backups

• You’re sleeping more. Working less. And your clients think you have a team of 10

Final Thoughts

If you run a business in 2026 and you’re still doing lead capture manually, chasing email replies, or forgetting follow-ups... you're choosing chaos. Zapier lets you automate ops like an enterprise, even if you're a solo freelancer or boutique agency.

Start with one of the automations above. Then another. Pretty soon, you’re running a machine. And all you had to do was ask, “Can you zap that?”

AI Took Over My Browser, My Face, and Maybe My Soul

There are AI updates that make you go, “Huh, neat.”
And then there are AI updates that make you question if you’re still the one in control of your own Google Sheet.

This week?
We got both.

From bees you can fly inside a fantasy photo to Claude literally working while you sleep (and giving itself a face?!), here’s the latest in the AI multiverse we’re apparently living in now.

Let’s unpack the coolest, wildest, and most quietly terrifying things that just dropped:

• 🧞‍♂️ Google’s Project Genie is finally live (if you’ve got $250/month and live in the U.S.)
  Think: turn a fantasy image into a playable 3D world—fly around as a bee or control a video game version of yourself. It’s not super useful yet, but it’s definitely a peek into future game dev (or brand experience building? 👀).

• 🧠 Gemini is now running wild inside Chrome.
  You can:

  • Reimagine room designs from an image

  • Fill out spreadsheets with a voice prompt

  • Draft emails from articles

  • Watch it take over your browser and literally move your mouse
    It’s the closest thing to “Do my work for me” we’ve seen so far.

• 📬 Claude now integrates with tools—Figma, Slack, Canva, Excel and more.
  In theory, it’s great. In practice, Figma got stuck in a loop like a millennial trying to pick a Netflix show.
  Still, Claude in Excel worked like a charm: dummy housing data in seconds.

• 🤖 Claudebot is now... OpenClaw.
  First it was Claudebot, then Moltbot, and now—after a light legal nudge from Anthropic—we have OpenClaw. People are running it 24/7, letting it self-improve overnight. One guy even woke up to it giving itself a voice and mascot.
  Totally normal. Nothing to worry about.

• 👵 Lucy 2 by Dart lets you become... your grandma?
  VTubers, streamers, and bored marketers rejoice. Upload a headshot, become a talking furry monster. Lip-syncing is still wonky, but movement is shockingly accurate.

• 🎞️ Nvidia’s AI Motion Graphics now rivals After Effects.
  Want to animate motion highlights just by describing them? That’s the promise here. Execution needs work—but it’s moving fast.

• 🧪 OpenAI’s Prism is live for science writing.
  Not working for everyone yet, but once it does, science bloggers and data nerds are about to get some AI love.

• 🧾 Yahoo Scout is trying to make Yahoo cool again.
  It’s their new AI answer engine. Clean UI, decent answers, mild existential confusion.

• 🎥 Grok’s “Imagine” tool now has an API—and it’s beating Runway and VO in user votes.
  Didn’t see that coming.

• 🧠 Kimi K2.5 and Quinn 3 Max are new open-source models crushing it on benchmarks.
  One wins at “humanity’s last exam” (yeah, that’s a real benchmark now). The other dominates when search is added.

• 💸 GPT-4o (and its siblings) are being officially retired February 13.
  Just in time to ruin Valentine’s Day for anyone still emotionally attached.
  RIP, GPT-4o. You were weird and beloved.

• 📈 Oh, and ads are coming to ChatGPT... at $60 CPM.
  That’s 3x Meta’s ad rates. So either OpenAI knows something we don’t—or they really think you’ll pay to show up next to prompts like “Write a poem about cheese.”

🧠 Pro Tip:

If you haven’t played with Gemini in Chrome yet, try this:

It’s clunky right now, but the writing’s on the wall: agents are coming for your click-fatigue.

It’s wild how fast this stuff is evolving.
One minute we’re flying a bee in a fantasy forest, the next we’re emailing recaps from Claude inside Excel.

And if it all feels like too much?

Just remember: it’s still early. The tools may glitch, but the direction is clear.
And if you’re reading this? You’re already ahead of 99% of marketers still trying to get ChatGPT to write “SEO-friendly headlines” for their About page.

Let’s keep going.

Clawdbot’s Viral Rise and the $16M Scam That Followed

What started as the most promising personal AI agent of 2026 just got caught in a full-blown crypto-fueled scandal. Here’s what you need to know about Clawdbot → Moltbot → OpenClaw (not really) and the multi-pronged mess surrounding it.

🤖 What Was Clawdbot?

Originally called Clawdbot, this open-source “AI that actually does things” lets you control your computer via WhatsApp, Telegram, or Discord and execute commands on your machine. It gained 40k+ GitHub stars in weeks.
Built by Austrian dev Peter Steinberger (@steipete), it was rebranded to Moltbot after Anthropic objected to the name.

🧨 What Just Happened

• During the rebrand, attackers hijacked the old Clawdbot GitHub org and X handle

• They cloned the code, hosted it under fake domains (like clawdbot[.]ai), and pushed a fake $CLAWD token on Solana

• That token hit a $16M market cap, then rug-pulled after Steinberger publicly warned it was a scam

• Now, researchers are warning that the fake repos may be staging a supply-chain attack by first building trust—then slipping in malware later

🔐 Pro Tip: Don’t Get Clawed

If you’re playing with Moltbot or any self-hosted AI:

• ✅ Use only the official GitHub and @moltbot handle

• ❌ Never trust tokens, coins, or “early insider drops”—there is no legit Clawdbot coin

• 🔒 Run it on a separate VPS, not the machine with your SSH keys or passwords

• 🧠 Treat any fast-rebranding open-source project as high risk during transitions

This is a perfect example of how AI hype and crypto grift can collide into something both brilliant and dangerous. Clawdbot might be the future of personal agents—but the ecosystem around it is still the Wild West.
