🛎️ The New Moat

Veo3 New Launch, Fast Fails Win, GPT's New Cart

Good Morning, AI Enthusiasts!

After all, some of the most fascinating acquisitions begin with a hefty fee and a cart full of... potential.

NEW LAUNCH

Google’s Veo 3 Can Turn Images Into Videos Now

📌 What’s happening: Google just upgraded its Veo 3 video generator to animate still images into short videos. It’s a bid to chase OpenAI’s Sora and keep YouTube from looking ancient. No consumer launch yet—just a shiny research demo and the usual “responsible AI” disclaimer.

🧠 How this hits reality: Creative teams will nod politely, then keep using Adobe, Runway, and Pika until Veo grows up. Brands chasing “AI content” will overpay for shaky, uncanny results. Meanwhile, Google’s real goal—keeping video ad dollars inside its walled garden—gets quietly closer.

🛎️ Key takeaway: Another AI demo chasing a problem no one has—except Google’s finance team.

STARTUP

Speed Is The New Moat in AI Startups

📌 What’s happening: Andrew Ng, speaking at AI Fund’s Startup School, emphasizes execution speed as a key factor for startup success, stressing that AI tools are drastically accelerating development cycles. He explains that focusing on concrete, executable ideas leads to faster builds and pivots, alongside faster product iterations and engineering workflows powered by AI.

🧠 How this hits reality: The rise of agentic AI is transforming how we build—making product iterations faster and reducing engineering costs. But as coding becomes quicker, the real bottleneck is user feedback. Founders who can move fast and make informed, quick decisions have the highest chances of success.

🛎️ Key takeaway: The speed of execution is the new competitive edge in startups. You can’t afford to sit around; move fast, break things, and iterate until you get it right.

E-COMMERCE

Shopify's AI Boost: Powered by OpenAI

📌 What’s happening: OpenAI has quietly added Shopify as a third-party data provider for ChatGPT's shopping search, alongside Bing. This update was discreetly included in the ChatGPT Search documentation on May 15, 2025, without a formal announcement.

🧠 How this hits reality: Merchants on Shopify now have their products featured in ChatGPT's shopping search results, with rich listings including images, prices, and reviews. Non-Shopify merchants can apply to be included, provided they're not blocking OpenAI's web crawler, OAI-SearchBot. This move shifts e-commerce visibility, potentially sidelining platforms that aren't integrated.

🛎️ Key takeaway: OpenAI's shopping search now includes Shopify, because AI needs a better shopping cart experience.
