Instagram Rolls out an AI Video Assistant for Creators
Instagram is rolling out an AI video assistant in Edits, its CapCut competitor, that gives creators personalized feedback instead of generic advice. The assistant combines account metrics like views and video retention with comments and trends to spot performance patterns, while leaving creative calls to creators. Usage is capped, with more available through a Meta One subscription.

Cheapest LinkedIn Ads retargeting source
A low-cost way to build a LinkedIn retargeting audience is to run 60-70 second videos with a Website Visits objective. Use a headline that discourages clicks because advertisers only pay when someone clicks. Anyone who watches at least 50% of the video is added to the retargeting audience. This tactic reportedly builds audiences for about $0.50 per member versus $1-2 per click for standard engagement campaigns.

Why you're worth it
Furniture brand Vitsœ uses its pricing page to justify why its products cost more than cheaper alternatives. It breaks the cost into smaller time-based amounts and points to resale prices as evidence of durability. It also avoids sales and financing options that could boost short-term revenue. These choices make its pricing claims more credible because customers can verify them and see what the company gives up to maintain them.

Writing is essential to how @Mercury communicates as a 1,300-person remote-first company
Writing helps you process ideas, analyze problems, and explore solutions. Good writing is concise - reading should be easy. AI can churn out a lot of content, but it isn't a good writer. The technology should be used instead to critique, condense, shape initial drafts, and summarize complex information.
