💢 Real-Life Karen Spotted (and Caught on AI Pokémon Card)

Ever met a Karen in real life? I mean a textbook Karen — condescending, combative, and just not here for a peaceful interaction.

Well, I did. At the gym. With my son. And it was so Karen it’s almost poetic.

We were in the weight machine area doing our usual set. A machine nearby was empty — no towel, no water bottle, no sign of human presence. We waited about five minutes, then hopped in. We were missing a handle for the machine, so we borrowed one from the setup next to it.

About 10 minutes into our workout, we hear this screech:

I responded calmly, “Yeah, we didn’t see anyone using it. We waited a while.”

She snapped back:

Let me be clear — we were timing our sets. We’d been there for at least 15 minutes watching that machine sit untouched. But I wasn’t there to escalate. I handed the handle back and said, “No problem.”

It could’ve ended right there.

But no. The Karen energy was strong. She kept going. Snide remarks under her breath. Passive-aggressive muttering. Like she needed this conflict to fuel her workout.

What made this moment meaningful, though, was what my son learned from it:

• De-escalate. Stay calm. Resolve quickly.

• Don’t bend over backward to please people who want a problem.

• And most importantly: Never feed a Karen.

He turned to me and whispered:

I laughed and said, “Son, not only was that a Karen — that was a legendary-class Karen.”

So naturally, as any dad-son duo would, we opened AI and made…
a Karen Pokémon card.

We used the new Nano Banana tool (which is amazing, by the way), and generated this glorious monstrosity of a card to commemorate the encounter. 🧢🤣

Moral of the story:
There will always be Karens and Kevins out there. People who are waiting for conflict, looking for reasons to get upset, and fully committed to misunderstanding your intentions.

Don’t let them throw you off. Smile, de-escalate, and move on.
Because nothing infuriates a Karen more…
than a total lack of drama. 😎

Voice AI 2025: The Smart Marketer’s Cheat Code 🔥

You ever get that feeling when you’re halfway into a voice AI setup and your shiny new bot suddenly turns into a confused telemarketer who keeps asking, “Are you still there?” Yeah. Same. But 2025’s looking brighter, thanks to some massive updates inside HighLevel’s Voice AI — and a few hard-earned secrets that actually make it work like it’s supposed to.

Let’s talk about what’s new, what most folks are still messing up, and how to make your voice agent sound more like a professional assistant and less like an impatient teenager.

Why This Update Matters

HighLevel just dropped a major upgrade to their Voice AI system — and it’s not just a facelift. It’s an actual, under-the-hood rebuild that makes your AI agents sound better, think faster, and (finally) stop interrupting people like they’re in a rush to hang up.

But… here’s the kicker: most people haven’t upgraded. Even worse, some are still running bots on old settings that are tanking performance and frustrating leads.

So let’s break it down — five top tips (plus a few sneaky extras) that’ll make you the voice AI whisperer you were always meant to be.

💡 Tip 1: If You Haven’t Upgraded, You’re Already Behind

Seriously. There’s an “Upgrade” button in the top right of your Voice AI settings. If you don’t see it, you’re stuck on the old system. And that means:

• Your voice quality is robotic at best.

• The new controls and enhancements won’t work.

• You’re basically using VHS in a streaming world.

✅ How to fix it: Go to Labs > Enable Voice AI Upgrade in your agency account. Then go into the sub-account and smash that Upgrade button like it owes you money.

🧠 Tip 2: Your Prompt Is the Whole Damn Thing

Mike Reamer from CRM Pros said it best: tools change, prompting doesn’t.

Most voice AI issues come from sloppy, vague, or conflicting prompts. So:

• Stop using bullet points in prompts (the system hates it).

• Use plain Markdown.

• Put critical instructions at the top of your prompt (like memory or tone settings).

• Always test prompts in Google Docs before dropping them into HighLevel. You can version control and troubleshoot without crying.

🧰 Pro move: Have ChatGPT audit your prompt. Just paste it in and say:
"Analyze this prompt for use with GoHighLevel Voice AI and identify any potential issues."
Then fix line-by-line. It works way better than guessing.

🎛️ Tip 3: Fix Your Settings (You’re Probably Using “Fast”)

Here’s the deal:

• Fast mode is too fast. It talks over people. It’s rude. Don’t do it.

• Normal is the new sweet spot.

• If it feels slow, move to Brisk, but only after testing.

Also:

• Increase Idle Time from 4 seconds to 6–7 for slower-speaking callers (especially older demographics).

• Keep the experience smooth. Nobody likes a clingy bot asking “Are you there?” every two seconds.

📚 Tip 4: Build a DIY Knowledge Base the Smart Way

Using the web crawl tool to scrape live sites? Yeah… don’t.

Instead, do this:

1. Paste all your clean content into a funnel page inside HighLevel.

2. Use the page URL for your knowledge base web crawl.

3. Boom: one clean, indexed, organized data source — no messy headers, ads, or navigation bars to confuse your AI.

It’s like giving your bot a private cheat sheet that actually makes sense.

🧠 Pro Tip: Never go over the 2,000 character limit in the main prompt area. Use knowledge base links for extended info.

🔁 Tip 5: Test Like a Maniac, But Use Real Calls

Mike runs hundreds of test calls before deploying a bot. Why? Because every test gives you real-world feedback.

Tips:

• Use a separate sub-account and calendar for testing (avoid junk leads polluting your real CRM).

• Keep actions during the call to a minimum (only what’s essential — like booking).

• Push the rest (like tagging, summaries, SMS) to after the call to avoid latency.

Also, always call the bot with a real phone — not just the built-in test function. You’ll catch things you wouldn’t hear otherwise.

🧩 Bonus Tips That Are Actually Game-Changers:

• Want your bot to upsell like a pro? Script it like a real salesperson. Use logic like:
  “Sign up for our service package today and your first visit is on us.”
  It’s all in the guide Mike shares — and yes, it’s got templates by industry.

• Need the agent to remember past calls? There’s a prompt module for that too (in the guide).

• Running multiple agents? Don’t reinvent the wheel. Use snapshots, custom fields, and initial messages pre-filled with variables.

• Selling Voice AI? Package it with other services (like DB reactivation or reviews). Don’t lead with “bots.” Lead with “value.”

🚀 Pro Tip of the Week:

If you’re stuck in prompt hell and your bot is being weird — there’s probably conflicting info in your prompt vs your knowledge base.
Do this:

1. Copy your prompt into ChatGPT.

2. Ask it to analyze for contradictions.

3. Use Markdown output. Paste only the fixed part.

4. Save your sanity.

And remember: fast bots are annoying. Smart bots convert.

You made it this far, which means you’re one of the smart ones. 😏
So here’s the final scoop: upgrading to the new Voice AI system in HighLevel is a no-brainer — but only if you actually use it right.

Zoom In, AI Out, and Your Voice Stays In 🔥

You ever finish a Zoom call and think, “Dang, that was brilliant… now if only I could magically turn it into something that people would actually read”? Well, welcome to the Real OG era — where AI doesn’t just regurgitate your transcript, it turns your Zoom brain dump into email gold, social posts, articles, and meeting recaps so good they make you look like the pro you already are.

The kicker?
It doesn’t sound like AI wrote it. It sounds like you.

Let’s break down how this Real OG tool is changing the AI game for coaches, course creators, and anyone whose calendar looks like a game of Zoom Tetris.

💥 Why This Tool Actually Feels Revolutionary

Most AI tools will spit out generic content that reeks of... well, AI.
This one? It scrubs the slop, protects your voice, and compresses time like a champ. Here's how:

• It uses your Zoom VTT file to grab timestamps and speaker names.

• It applies a 22-point voice-matching system to preserve your style and tone.

• It spits out 7 high-quality documents from just one Zoom call.

• It does all this in 30 minutes or less with no extra editing from you.

Yes, really.

🧰 Here’s What You Get (From 1 Call)

INTERNAL DOCUMENTS (for your team, guests, or mastermind group):

1. Meeting Summary – Hits emotional breakthroughs, participant input, key takeaways, and calls to action.

2. Internal Recap Email – Designed to send to guests/clients with highlights and links back to relevant assets.

3. Timestamp Summary – Podcast-style breakdown with speaker attributions and exact timestamps.

EXTERNAL DOCUMENTS (for the world to see):
4. PR-Style Article – SEO-optimized, human-sounding, ~1,000–1,500 words long. Names scrubbed.
5. LinkedIn Post – Rewritten version of the article optimized for LinkedIn (hashtags, emojis, clean copy).
6. External Promo Email – Ready-to-send copy to promote your content with a clear CTA.
7. 300-Character Description – Included for quick post descriptions and SEO use.

Each asset is polished, audience-ready, and aligned to your voice without any manual effort.

🧠 Real Talk: What Makes This Better Than ChatGPT?

Let’s be honest. You can toss your Zoom transcript into ChatGPT and get something back. But here’s what usually happens:

• It sounds like a middle school book report.

• Your voice? Gone.

• All your energy? Flattened into a bland AI smoothie.

This tool doesn’t do that. Instead:

• It scrubs for AI indicators (aka “AI slop”).

• It uses real voice-matching criteria (tone, pace, theme, transitions, even emotional cadence).

• It anonymizes participants for public-facing content.

• And everything comes out sounding human.

Like Brian said: “The more you dilute your voice, the more you dilute your impact.”

🧠 Pro Tip: Use the VTT File Every Time

Want the best output? Use Zoom’s cloud recording VTT file. It:

• Automatically tags speakers,

• Tracks timestamps,

• Makes the AI 10x smarter in structuring and attributing the call.

⚠️ No VTT file? Tools like Otter, Fathom, or even clean .txt files with timestamps can work — but you’ll lose some of the magic.

🕒 Time Compression = More Life

This isn’t just about automation. It’s about preserving your voice while giving you your time back.

Coaches and creators are using it to:

• Recap mastermind calls in minutes,

• Send beautifully written follow-ups automatically,

• Turn one call into seven assets for marketing, content, and client delivery.

Brian’s team processed months of mastermind content in 30 minutes. No burnout. No VA. Just plug-and-play AI that respects your brand.

🔮 What’s Coming Next?

They’re adding even more:

• Additional templates (think: social carousels, sales pages, guides)

• Support for video-only uploads

• One-click uploads (no folders, no fuss)

But even in beta, this tool is already making course creators and coaches look like content machines — without sounding like robots.

👑 Pro Tip of the Week:

Protect your voice at all costs.
If your AI-generated content doesn’t sound like you, it’s doing more harm than good.

✅ Use tools that emphasize awareness and intentionality — like this one.
✅ Treat your voice like your brand’s fingerprint.
✅ Don’t outsource your essence to lazy prompts and generic AI.

The difference between “just another AI user” and a thought leader? Authenticity that doesn’t scale like crap.

You made it through another HighLevel Insider, and if you’re using Zoom calls regularly, this tool should be on your radar — yesterday. It’s not just about writing faster. It’s about writing smarter, keeping your voice intact, and showing up consistently without killing your calendar.

🔥 AI Now — The Week’s Craziest AI Updates (That You Probably Missed)

Alright, buckle up—because this week in AI was like trying to drink from a firehose hooked up to a jet engine. Google went full sci-fi, image editing got Photoshop-level scary (but in a good way), and 11Labs just threatened the entire stock music industry with one button.

We’ve got new models, smarter gadgets, and even a sneak peek at GPT-6. Let me break it down so you can sound smart at your next Zoom call—or maybe replace it entirely with an AI-generated recap. 😉

🖼️ AI Image Editors That Make Photoshop Look Nervous

1. Quinn Image Edit – Alibaba’s open-source beast:

• Built to take an input image and do anything you describe: change outfits, camera angles, art styles, and more.

• Available right now at quinn.ai

• It’s like ChatGPT for images. Upload, type your wish, and boom.

2. Nano Banana – The mysterious, magical Google-powered model (probably):

• Merge images, swap items, cartoonize only parts of the image (not the whole thing).

• Edit with scary precision—like changing only the book cover in a photo, or colorizing black-and-white photos realistically.

• Not public yet, but available through LM Arena in battle mode. (Takes patience, but worth it.)

🚨 Pro Tip:
You don’t need Photoshop skills anymore. These tools can change clothes, styles, backgrounds, lighting, and even eras with a single prompt. For marketers, creatives, and content folks? Game. Changed.

🎮 RunwayML: Text-Based Games That Draw Themselves

Runway Game Worlds:

• A text adventure game where AI builds your world and draws it in real time.

• Upload your face = it turns you into a playable game character.

Video-to-Music Generation:

• Upload a video and 11Labs picks the vibe, then composes music to match.

🧠 Google Went Full Blade Runner

Let’s talk about Made by Google and what they announced:

• Pixel 10 with on-device AI (Tensor G5 chip, co-designed with DeepMind)

• Magic Q – A background AI assistant that auto-reads your messages, finds info, and suggests responses without you doing anything.

• Real-time voice translation on calls. Speak English. They hear Spanish. Wild.

• AI Photography Assistant: Tells you how to compose your shot while you’re taking it.

• Image editing by text prompt – “Make it nighttime,” and it just does it.

• Pixel Buds & Watch – Talk to Gemini without opening your phone. AI on your wrist and in your ear.

It’s basically a digital co-pilot embedded in your life. (Also, Nano Banana might be behind some of these image tools 👀.)

📝 Google Docs & Adobe Acrobat Get AI-Boosted

• Google Docs now reads your documents aloud—with emotion. Choose narrator, coach, teacher, etc. (Only on paid plans for now.)

• Adobe Acrobat now lets you chat with your PDFs. Seriously. Ask questions, get summaries, or switch to “Entertainer” mode for sassy rewrites.

💡 For marketers drowning in longform PDFs, this is your new best friend.

🧠 GPT-6? Already?

Yep. Sam Altman teased GPT-6 is coming way sooner than expected. Main goals:

• Real memory – So it knows your quirks, routines, and how you like your prompts.

• Hyper-personalization – Everyone’s ChatGPT will become unique to them.

Oh, and apparently GPT-5 is now “warmer and friendlier.” Some users say it’s too much, but hey—nice bots never hurt anyone, right?

🧱 Other Cool Stuff (Rapid Fire):

• Microsoft Copilot in Excel: Now lets you automate formulas, analyze sentiment, and fill data with natural language.

• Grammarly AI Agents: Help teachers grade and students learn with guided AI.

• Meta Adds AI Lip-Sync & Translations to Reels: Your voice, other languages, your lips still match. Wild.

• New Models:

  • DeepSeek v3.1: 685B parameters, scary fast.

  • ByteDance’s Seed OSS 36B: Huge context window (512K tokens).

  • Nvidia Neotron Nano 9B v2: Open model, commercial use OK.

🔮 Pro Tip of the Week:

Don’t chase every shiny AI tool.
Instead:

• Choose 2–3 tools that save you time and preserve your voice or brand.

• Tools like QuinnEdit, Nano Banana, 11Labs, and RunwayML are legit upgrades if you do content, design, or client work.

• Prioritize tools that do one thing insanely well — not just anything kinda okay.

This week’s AI drop was massive—but exciting. You’re watching real-time shifts in marketing, design, and content that’ll define how we work in the next 12 months. Don’t get overwhelmed—just stay sharp, test smart, and pick the tools that help you stand out (not blend in).

👽 Is It a Comet… or Alien Tech?

Neil deGrasse Tyson just dropped a reality check on the alien hype train—and it’s kind of perfect.

In a recent StarTalk episode, he breaks down how humanity has always filled in the blanks of the unknown with… something. First it was gods. Now? It’s aliens.

He’s talking about ‘Alien of the Gaps’—our instinct to label unexplained cosmic weirdness as extraterrestrial without actual evidence. Like that cigar-shaped visitor, Oumuamua? Didn’t behave like a typical comet. No gas trail. Strange trajectory. Weird brightness. Cue the alien theories.

Tyson’s take:
Yeah, maybe it’s aliens. But probably not.
It’s more likely we’re dealing with stuff we've never seen before—objects from other star systems, moving in ways our solar-centric science doesn't fully grasp yet.

📌 Why it matters:
In an age where everything unexplained gets a YouTube theory within hours, Tyson’s reminder hits home: “I don’t know” is still a valid answer. And often, it’s the most honest one.
