Good morning,

It’s been a long, busy week…

But here are this week’s top AI news worth reading up about:

1. Mattel and OpenAI Partner Up

Mattel, the company behind Barbie, Hot Wheels, and UNO, just announced a major partnership with OpenAI. The goal? To bring AI-powered play to their classic toys and digital experiences. Mattel will use OpenAI’s tech to create new, interactive products—think Barbie or Hot Wheels with smart, age-appropriate AI features. The first AI-powered toy is expected later this year. Mattel will also use ChatGPT Enterprise to help with product development and content creation inside the company. Both companies say they’re focused on keeping everything safe and fun for kids and families.

2. Manus and Veo3 Integration

Big news for creators: Manus and Veo3 now work together. This integration lets you use Manus’ advanced AI agent to automate video editing and content creation inside Veo3. Imagine uploading your raw footage and having Manus handle the editing, add captions, and even suggest creative cuts—all in one place. This could save hours for anyone making videos for business or social media.
