Apple lets you build Shortcuts by describing them in plain language

π€ Your AI Video Clone π€
I just did something wild.
I recreated the famous Wolf of Wall Street scene.
And swapped out Leonardo DiCaprio for my own AI clone.
π Watch the clip here: https://youtu.be/-G9hjW1mqRE
Go look. Then come back. It's hard to believe it isn't really me.

Let me tell you why this matters...
Most creators hit a ceiling they can't break through.
They can't be everywhere at once.
Filming takes time. Editing takes time. You only have so many hours in a day.
So growth stalls the moment you hit your personal capacity.
I cracked that wide open with an AI video clone.
My face, my voice, my delivery.
Generating content without me sitting in front of a camera every time.
The clone works while I sleep.
And on today's monthly AI Money Group Call, I'm pulling back the curtain on the whole thing.
Here's what I'm covering live:
β’ The exact tools behind a convincing AI video clone
β’ The footage workflow that makes it look real, not robotic
β’ The precise settings I dialed in to get this result
β’ How I use one clone to show up across multiple platforms
β’ The same process you can copy to scale your own content
This isn't theory.
The Wolf of Wall Street clip speaks for itself.
This is the step-by-step breakdown of how it was actually made.
The call is happening today, June 9 at 5PM PST.
It's live. It's behind-the-scenes. And spots fill up fast.
Once it's full, it's full.
What if automation was as easy as sending a text?

Apple just made automation something anyone can do.
At WWDC 2026, Apple revealed an AI-powered Shortcuts app in iOS 27. Instead of wrestling with app actions and variables, you just type what you want in plain language and Apple Intelligence builds the workflow for you.
Describe it. Apple assembles the steps. Edit it later just by describing the change.
Today's prompt builds a workshop run sheet that keeps every participant engaged. Tool Tuesday covers Amazon letting anyone design custom merch with AI. Plus a look at Jeff's own AI video clone and the live call happening tonight. Then the full breakdown on Apple's new Shortcuts.
π₯ Prompt of the Day π₯
Workshop Facilitation Script: Use ChatGPT or Claude
Create one interactive session run sheet.
"Act as a workshop design specialist. Create one facilitation guide for a [TOPIC] workshop that keeps participants engaged and producing results.
Essential Details:
Workshop Topic: [WHAT YOU'RE TEACHING]
Duration: [LENGTH IN HOURS]
Audience Size: [PARTICIPANT COUNT]
Format: [VIRTUAL/IN-PERSON]
Outcome Goal: [WHAT THEY LEAVE WITH]
Experience Level: [BEGINNER/MIXED/ADVANCED]
Create one facilitation guide including:
Opening icebreaker with timer Teaching segments with interaction breaks Group exercise instructions Discussion prompt sequence Energy check and pivot points Closing action commitment exercise Facilitated workshops beat lectures every time."
Variables:
WHAT YOU'RE TEACHING: Your workshop topic
LENGTH IN HOURS: How long the session runs
PARTICIPANT COUNT: How many people attend
VIRTUAL/IN-PERSON: Your format
WHAT THEY LEAVE WITH: The outcome participants walk away with
BEGINNER/MIXED/ADVANCED: Your audience experience level
Why This Works:
A lecture loses the room in ten minutes. A facilitated workshop keeps people producing the whole way through. AI builds the run sheet that paces teaching with interaction, drops in group exercises at the right moments, and includes energy checks so you know when to pivot. Participants leave having done something, not just heard something. That's the difference between a session people forget and one they act on.

Amazon Now Lets You Design Custom Merch With AI
Amazon just turned anyone into a merch designer.
The company introduced a new feature that lets you create custom products using AI prompts through the Alexa feature in its Shopping app.
Describe your idea, and Amazon generates a design you can put on apparel, tumblers, water bottles, and more β produced and delivered through its print-on-demand service with Prime shipping.
How It Works
Tap the Alexa icon in the bottom right of the Amazon Shopping app, or search "customize" and pick the drop-down option.
Describe your idea to Alexa and watch the design generate. Edit it by clicking suggested actions or typing changes. When you're happy, it goes on the product of your choice.
Amazon handles production and delivery. You only pay for the products themselves β the design feature is free.
What You Can Put It On
The supported lineup is wide: T-shirts, V-necks, long-sleeve shirts, polos, quarter zips, jerseys, hoodies, sweatshirts, tank tops, raglans, tumblers, and water bottles.
You can also share results with friends and family so everyone can add the product to their own cart β handy for group designs like reunions or team gear.
Where It Fits
Amazon suggests it for one-off designs β T-shirts for a family reunion, a personalized gift, or a product featuring a portrait of your dog.
Currently U.S. only.
Why This Matters
This drops AI-generated merch directly inside the world's biggest shopping app, lowering the barrier for anyone who wants to turn an idea into a physical product without design skills.
For consumers β custom products from a simple description, no design tools or print-on-demand account needed.
For print-on-demand platforms β this is a direct challenge to Redbubble, Bonfire, Spring, Fourthwall, and others. Amazon just made AI-designed merch a default shopping option rather than a creator niche.
For artists β worth noting the tension. Creators whose work helped train these models may feel very differently about effortless AI merch generation.
What This Means
Custom merch is moving from a creator tool to a mainstream shopping feature.
When designing a product is as easy as describing it inside an app you already use, the whole category shifts. Amazon is betting that AI-designed merch becomes just another way to shop.
The barrier between "I have an idea" and "I'm holding the product" just got a lot thinner.
π€ Did You Know? π€
AI analysing audio recordings of beehives can now predict colony collapse weeks before it happens by detecting subtle changes in the frequency and rhythm of the collective buzzing β a sound shift so slight that even experienced beekeepers standing next to the hive cannot hear the difference.

Apple Will Let You Build Workflows Using AI in Its New Shortcuts App
Apple just made one of its most powerful tools accessible to everyone.
At WWDC 2026, Apple revealed an AI-powered version of Shortcuts in iOS 27. Instead of manually building automations, you describe what you want in plain language and Apple Intelligence builds it for you.
Rolling out with iOS 27 this fall.
The Problem It Solves
Shortcuts has always been powerful and complicated. It was built for power users who wanted to automate tasks and chain multi-app actions together.
Apple admitted as much on stage. As Cecilia Dantas, senior manager of Home Software Product Marketing, put it during the keynote, the process of creating shortcuts can feel complicated.
The AI update removes that friction. You no longer need to hunt for the right app actions or wrangle variables.
How It Works
Apple Intelligence interprets your natural language description and assembles the steps required.
Apple's example: a shortcut that automatically notifies your partner when you leave work, with an expected ETA for your arrival home.
Instead of figuring out how to build that, you just type the request. Shortcuts then pulls together the pieces β running when you leave work, accessing a stored address, calculating your ETA with Apple Maps, and sending the alert through Messages.
Editing by Description
Changes work the same way. You describe the edit and Shortcuts adjusts.
In the "leaving work" example, you could later add a step to start playing a favorite podcast β just by saying so. No digging back into the workflow builder.
Why This Matters
Automation has always been gated behind technical know-how. The people who could benefit most from it often couldn't build it.
For everyday users β powerful multi-app automation becomes available to anyone who can describe what they want.
For the broader trend β this is natural language becoming the interface for building things, not just chatting. The same shift showing up across AI tools, now landing on hundreds of millions of iPhones.
For Apple β it expands what non-technical people can do on their devices, making Apple Intelligence genuinely useful rather than a novelty.
What This Means
Describing what you want and having software build it is becoming the default way to create automations.
Apple putting that capability into Shortcuts on every iPhone normalizes it for a massive audience. Millions of people who never touched Shortcuts because it looked complicated may finally use it.
The fall rollout with iOS 27 is when we'll see whether it lives up to the demo. But the direction is clear β building things by describing them is going mainstream.
Over to You...
Imagine every app on your phone working together from a single request. What would you set up?
Tell me what you think.
To apps that work together,
