𝗪𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗮 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲. 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁. 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲...

Last Friday at AI FriYay in NeherLab, Leidschendam, Mandy and I took the stage to show what’s possible when you actually know how to use these tools.

We ran live demos. Shared what’s next. And to wrap it up, we opened Suno AI and made a full custom track for Savvy in front of the whole room.
Lyrics, vocals, production. All generated live.

People didn’t expect it. That’s the point.

This is what creative work looks like when it moves fast, lands well, and stays playful.

Next AI FriYay is 22 August. Come see it for yourself.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘂𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄, 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸, 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱, 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗜 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿!

Live from the Neherlab Auditorium in Leidschendam, streamed direct to screens across the country. Packed session. Sharp minds. Big energy.

It wasn’t just a "webinar".

It was a working session. Real-time demos, real tools, and direct answers to the questions business teams face every week. From framing a pitch to building investor decks, this is how modern professionals lead with content.

And now, that’s us at the end of the week, beers in hand, outside the beautiful historic monument neherlab auditorium

None of this would run without the crew!

Yordi, on the left, making sure every tech detail is flawless start to finish.
Mandy, no intro needed — she’s the engine behind everything we do.
And me (Lorcan), always waffling on about AI and workshops like it’s a religion.

We could talk about this stuff all day. But for now, a deep breath, a good drink, and a full calendar.

Here’s what’s coming...

📅 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟭 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁

𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗱... 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲...

Google’s new AI Mode with Search Live turns everyday search into a live voice conversation.
You ask out loud. It answers back.

Real-time. Gemini-powered. Link-rich. No keyboard needed.

This isn’t voice chat. It’s a full reframe of how we interact with the web.

Open the app. Tap Live. Talk!

Responses are fast, fluid, and show relevant links while you speak.
You can even multitask in other apps while the convo continues.

Next thing coming: visual prompts from your camera. Search what you see, not just what you say.

The old search bar is dead.
This is interface design for the voice-native era.

Well well well...
Looks like OpenAI just ghosted Microsoft and jumped into bed with Google.

Official now: OpenAI + Google Cloud...

Because when you’re building synthetic minds at scale, even frenemies start looking cute.

Here’s the real juice:

✅ OpenAI locked in a deal with Google Cloud for compute power
✅ Slashed API prices on o3 by 80% to punch Gemini in the throat
✅ Launched o3-pro: a beast of a model, replacing o1-pro, charging $20/$80 per million tokens

Meanwhile, Google’s flexing with Gemini 2.5, ready to think as long as devs want it to...

This isn’t just a deal. It’s a price war, a talent war, a computing arms race.

And the creative world? We’re caught in the middle—with more power, cheaper tools, and smarter models dropping faster than we can brand them.

At Savvy Lab, we call it like it is:
AI’s no longer about partnerships.
It’s about positioning.

And if you’re not learning or adjusting your stack, you’re not in the room.

Let’s talk AI agents today...
A buzzword you’ve probably heard, but maybe not fully understood?

In simple terms:
AI agents are autonomous systems that take an input, reason through a task, and execute multi-step actions without constant oversight.

Think of them as smart interns that can:
✅ Research and summarise sites
✅ Generate content from live data
✅ Book calls and send follow-ups
✅ Build micro-tools or even launch other agents
✅ Run end-to-end workflows while you sleep

Sounds magical.
But are they ready to replace creative teams, marketers, or strategists?

Not even close.

Here’s what we’ve seen at Savvy:
🧠 AI agents are like junior assistants. Fast, tireless — but often clueless without context. They automate grunt work and unlock speed, but without creativity, judgment, and direction, they drift into chaos or mediocrity.

The real power comes when:
⚡ You guide them with strong prompts
⚡ You refine their outputs with strategy
⚡ You keep the human layer — insight, nuance, taste — firmly in charge

So, are AI agents worth exploring?
Absolutely. However, we feel they’re not the future. They’re just the beginning of it.

Just be aware of the hype...
Until they learn taste, tone, and storytelling, they’ll always need a human at the helm.

Want to learn how to actually use AI — without fluff or false promises?
