I sat down to write this newsletter about one thing.
I couldn't pick one thing.
Because this week? Too much happened. Every time I opened my laptop there was another announcement, another tool, another update that changed how I think about creating content.
So instead of going deep on one topic, I'm giving you the rapid rundown. Six things that dropped this week, and exactly how I feel about each one.
Let's go.
1. Notion Just Dropped Custom Agents And This One’s a Game Changer
This is the biggest drop of the week.
Notion 3.3 just launched Custom Agents : completely autonomous AI teammates that handle your recurring work 24/7. You give them a job, set a trigger or schedule, and they just… run. No manual prompting. No babysitting.
Think about what that means: task triaging, daily standups, status reports, inbox management all automated. And they don’t just work inside Notion. They connect to Slack, email, Calendar, Figma, Linear, and more.
Here’s the number that stopped me: early testers made over 21,000 Custom Agents. Notion themselves have 2,800 agents running internally around the clock. One IT operations manager said he saved 20 hours per week with 95% triage accuracy.
Here’s my take: This is Notion going from “workspace” to “workforce.” They’re not just organizing your work anymore, they’re doing it. The setup is wild too,you literally have a conversation with the agent, and it writes its own instructions and wires up its own tools.
And the best part: It’s free to try through May 3rd. No reason not to test this.

Now, if you don't have Notion AI, this next one may be for you
2. Claude CoWork Now Has Scheduled Tasks
This is the one that hit me personally.
Claude’s CoWork: which is basically an AI teammate that runs inside your computer, just added scheduled tasks. That means you can say “every morning at 7 AM, go through my email, my Google Drive, and my Notion, and build me a daily checklist of everything I need to do” and it just… does it. On repeat. Without you touching anything.
You can schedule research. You can schedule reports. You can schedule content audits.
Here’s my take: CoWork is the most slept-on tool in AI right now. Everyone’s talking about ChatGPT and Gemini but nobody’s talking about the thing that actually runs workflows while you sleep. a chat that can give you honest feedback and, honestly, a powerful tool that can eventually build you different apps. Scheduled tasks make it 10x more valuable because now it’s not just a tool you open...it’s a system that runs for you.
Very similar to what Notion just put out, but not everyone has Notion AI. More people are starting to go to Claude, so how to mention it back-to-back.
3. Google Dropped NanoBanana 2
Google quietly released NanoBanana 2 (technically Gemini 3.1 Flash Image) and the quality jump is real.
Here’s what improved: subject consistency across multiple images (up to 5 subjects stay consistent), 4K resolution, and it’s fast... like, sub-second generation fast. It’s now the default image model inside Gemini.
But here’s my perspective and why this matters for creators:
The better the quality of AI-generated content gets, the easier it is to stay consistent.
Think about it. If every image you generate looks slightly different... different style, different quality, different vibe, your brand looks scattered. But when the AI can keep 5 subjects consistent across images? Now your carousel looks on point. Your thumbnails match. Your brand kit holds up.
You’re not starting from scratch every time. Its not in Gemini and Higgsfield.
5. Instagram Killed Flipside (Again, Meta Can’t Figure Out Authenticity)
Instagram shut down Flipside on February 24: their experiment where you could share a “casual” version of yourself with close friends. Dead after a few months.
This is the 5th time Meta has tried to build a feature around authenticity and then killed it when it didn’t monetize fast enough.
Meanwhile, in the same week, Instagram rewrote its algorithm to reward: conversation depth, caption dwell time, saves, shares and penalize templated content.
Here’s what I think: Meta keeps building features to manufacture connection, then pulling them. But the new algorithm actually rewards everything introverted creators do naturally ...thoughtful captions, real replies, original content. Stop chasing their features. Just be genuine. The algorithm is finally catching up to that.
6. YouTube’s Hype Leaderboard Just Went Global
This one flew under the radar but it’s huge.
YouTube’s Hype feature is now live in 39 countries. Every viewer gets 3 hypes per week to give to creators. Here’s the twist: if you’re a smaller creator with a deeply engaged community, each hype is worth extremely more points than a massive channel with passive viewers.
Top 100 hyped videos get a badge and a 200-500% boost in Home Feed impressions.
This is YouTube literally saying: community depth matters more than audience size.
Ask your people to hype your videos within 7 days of upload. Talking about that PLEASE hype my last youtube video about Kling 3.0... click here to do so.
Every single one of these stories is pointing in the same direction:
The tools are getting better. The platforms are rewarding depth. And the creators who build systems ...not just content...are the ones who win.
Notion Custom Agents = systems that run while you sleep. Claude CoWork scheduled tasks = systems. NanoBanana 2 consistency = systems. Notion AI images in your workflow = systems. YouTube rewarding community = depth. Instagram’s new algorithm = depth.
This isn’t a coincidence. This is where everything is going.
Which update do you resonate the most with or want me to talk more about?
🌆 AI Alley
As you saw earlier, Nano Banana 2 came out, but what I didn't mention that I wanted to bring up in AI Alley is that now they also have templates inside of Gemini
I'm a fan of any feature that allows you to do something without prompting, because not everybody wants to become a prompt engineer
So now, when you go into Gemini and you hit "Create image", you will start seeing templates just like the picture below.
Let me know which picture you create first. We are creating a bunch inside of Lions Behavior right now. We have a whole experiment group for it
So you already know you have to email me back about your biggest takeaway from this week's Content Corner take a screenshot and tag me in your stories (or Threads/Substack) so I know you liked this week's content. If not, I'll see you next Friday. Same time, same corner.
Oh before I forget...if you rock with the newsletter and it has added value to you, cop the first set of merch.
