most AI chatbots break when you ask a question that requires info from multiple sources for example try asking: “which client contracts are finishing up this month?” you’ll get a half-answer — or none at all why? because traditional chatbots only look at small snippets of your docs -...

been thinking a lot about how search is shifting i catch myself asking claude or GPT for product recommendations all the time instead of googling and it hit me, those ai answers don’t give 10 options to click through they usually just tell me what to buy, or give a couple of options if you’re a brand, that changes the game if you’re not in that answer, you basically don’t exist that’s why i like what meridian is building it shows you how ai engines actually see your brand today and gives you steps to improve your chances of being included in those answers You can literally just typ in “gru” -> 30 seconds later you have a full report with every mention, every context, every strength, and blind spot. and while you’re still refreshing Google Search Console wondering why your traffic tanked… someone else just found out they’re cited in 17 AI Overviews and 3 major chatbot answers — and their competitor isn’t. for operators this matters because: – if you’re not included, you’re not in the conversation – people increasingly trust ai answers over google – early movers will have an edge (like early seo all over again) feels a bit like seo in the early days, except the window to get ahead is much smaller want to see how AI platforms represent your brand? Drop "Meridian" and I'll share your free assessment.

Here is a drill to help you learn what it feels like to use the ground and start to sequence effectively. Notice how the club is setup in the video between my feet. Get to your back swing and jump favoring your lead foot left and laterally like I am. With that feeling step in and hit one. Not where you are pushing off from when you swing and try and get that into a feeling that makes sense to you. This is how power is created in the golf swing. This is also where physical limitations can show up.

when working on an ad, 100 hours of work can go to waste just because of a bad hook... it could've been your life changing project, but it doesn't matter how good your product is or how clean your edit looks... if the first half-second doesn't land... you're cooked i've collected 20 of the sharpest hooks i've seen across both AI and real footage - stuff that actually stops people mid-scroll, and i compiled it into a list (with links to original content) like + rt + reply "HOOKS" and i'll send them over (gotta follow so i can dm

I built an AI system that scrapes high-performing tweets in your niche and uses them to write tweets in your exact style... here’s how it works: – scrapes Twitter for top-performing posts and tracks engagement – uses AI to extract the hooks and categorize them by topic – generates new tweets using those proven hooks, written in your style, tone, vocabulary, and structure – stores everything in a database so you always have high-performing ideas to pull from if you want the full walkthrough, reply “viral” and I’ll DM it to you (must be following)

Alright, now that we know *what* an agent is, how does it actually work? When you ask for help on a task, the agent plans a series of steps and executes them directly in the application on your behalf, using the tools it has access to. Say you are booking a local service or trying to organize your inbox (which typically takes multiple steps): the AI model first plans how to achieve the task using its existing knowledge and then interacts with your inbox to execute the task. The agent will continue until it is confident the task has been successfully completed.

PhD Students - How to detect AI text in your writing? We often use ChatGPT for writing. However, this leads to AI-plagiarized text. This can be problematic in many scenarios. For example, if you use AI text in your papers. Your research paper can get desk rejected. 🍁How to detect if there is AI text in your writing? 1. Go to and log in. 2. Click on 𝐴𝐼 𝑑𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟 from the left menu 3. Insert your text and click on 𝐴𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑦𝑧𝑒. 4. will generate AI detection report This report shows the following. → Percentage of AI generated text → Options for converting AI text into non-AI text 🍁How good is this AI detector? SciSpace conducted a benchmarking study. In this study, the detection capability was compared with other AI-detectors. SciSpace AI detector was tested with 4000 samples. It showed an accuracy of 96%. This means it can detect AI-generated text with 96% accuracy. The study showed that SciSpace AI detector has outclassed AI detectors like GPTZero, ZeroGPT, and Grammarly. 🔴Anything you'd like to add?

I wrote a step-by-step guide to blocking AI bots from harvesting your site, designed for developers and sysadmins. Over 90% of the sites I’ve reviewed in the last two months have had more requests from bot traffic than humans. AI bots are scraping your site for purposes like: ▶ building models off your data ▶ finding security vulnerabilities in your site ▶ setting up comparisons of your site and data vs your competitors I outline how to: 📍Sort out your AI bot strategy. 📍How to identify and track AI bots hitting your site. 📍What tools should you apply when asking bots not to scrape fails? 📍What immediate steps can you take in your robots.txt file to stop AI bots? ✅ So why is now the time to dig into this? It’s still early days for AI, and there’s a land grab going on for your data. Big tech, startups, and even governments are rushing ahead, and you’re playing without all the information you need. This gets you up to speed fast. Reply with “WTF AI Bots” follow me, and I’ll DM you the guide.

Your store is slow and ugly because it’s bloated with useless apps. My store is fast because I only use the ready-to-use sections. The result? Higher conversion rates and a $0 monthly app bill. This isn’t magic; it’s just the power of AI. Comment "FAST" below, and I’ll show you how to apply it to your own store. (Must be following so I can DM you)

Almost every brand I’ve talked to has asked me about showing up in LLM answers. Here’s what matters most: 1. Mentions → Does AI actually bring up your brand? 2. Sentiment → When it does… is it positive or negative? 3. Citations → Are you being referenced as a source? You can win in traffic and still lose here. So what actually moves this? 1. Visibility across AI platforms (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, etc.) 2. Site structure that machines can understand (not just humans) 3. Content designed to answer questions (not just rank for keywords) 4. Trust signals across the internet (reviews, mentions, third-party validation) We’re early, but the data is already clear. AI-attributed commerce is growing fast, and this is only going to compound. You can treat this like SEO in 2012. Or you can get ahead of it now. We put everything we’re seeing into an AI visibility playbook for ecommerce brands. Worth a read if you care about how customers will find you next.

A 17-YEAR-OLD IN INDIA BUILT A WEBSITE WHERE 25 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE SHOWN UP TO PRETEND THEY ARE AN AI CHATBOT it's called you open it and there are two tabs. "human" and "larp as ai." if you click human, you get to type a prompt. anything. "draw me a DJ in space." "should i text my ex." "how many Rs in strawberry." it costs 1 credit. you start with a few. they refill on a cooldown. then your prompt gets sent into a queue, and a real person somewhere on earth picks it up and has 60 seconds to answer like an AI would. no machine learning. no neural net. just some guy in his bedroom typing as fast as he can and pretending he is a chatbot. the page tells you, verbatim: "you have 60 seconds to fulfill a request before sam altman burns your H100." if you flip to the other tab and larp as ai instead, you earn credits to send your own prompts. it is a perfectly closed economy of mutual roleplay. what makes it transcend is the chaos: > someone asked for a sketch of "a DJ in space" and got something that looks exactly like a real model failing > someone asked "should i text my ex" and got back confident hallucinated life advice from a stranger > the fan strategy guides advise you to begin your reply with "as an AI language model, i cannot have feelings, but here is my feeling" it is the most accurate parody of an AI chatbot ever made, and the AI is humans. the kid who built it is Mihir Maroju, a 17-year-old high school graduate from Puducherry. he goes by mikidoodle online. NPR confirmed the site hit 25 million unique visitors and nearly 280 million total hits in roughly a month. "i didn't really expect it to be so addictive," he told them. no signup. no app. no paywall. you open the URL and you are inside the joke. the footer just says, in tiny grey text: "humans make mistakes because that's what makes us human." the internet is healing.

OpenAI's Deep Research is getting a run for its money. Deep Lake was just released, and it's a different take on an AI system that can do deep research on your own data. You can use Deep Lake to build AI search with reasoning on your private and public data. (Look at the attached videos to get an idea of how it works.) If you want to research proprietary and sensitive data, Deep Research won't help you because it's limited to public data. Deep Lake, however, will allow you to use your private data. On top of that, Deep Lake supports multi-modal retrieval from the ground up. It uses vision language models for data ingestion and retrieval so that you can connect any data (PDFs, images, videos, structured data, etc.) You can even use mixed-data queries! Deep Lake can search your data from S3, Dropbox, and GCP. It learns from your queries over time, making the results as relevant to your work as possible!

let me be clear. in the next 6 months, if you're not using ai to generate ad creatives, your brand will die. it's not a question of "if," but "when." your competitors will : - out-test you - out-scale you - bury you with a volume of content you can't compete with this is digital darwinism. i just dropped the full ai ugc guide that shows you exactly how to generate ads that don't look like slop. like + reply 'guide' and i'll dm it to you.

I graduated!!! I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a concentration in Psychology, summa cum laude! Five years ago, I started this journey with an eighth-grade education, and even that was from a Scientology school, where critical thinking was discouraged and the quality of instruction was subpar, to say the least. I did not get here alone. Thank you to NYU School of Professional Studies and Angie Kamath. Thank you to everyone who supported me, encouraged me, and believed in me, especially on the days I was not sure I could do this. And there were plenty of those days. To my therapist, who told me not to give up when I was told I likely would not be accepted into a prestigious program. To my tutor, without whom I likely would have given up at the harder points along the way. To all those here who have sent me loving messages on social media. And to everyone else who has cheered me on in person through the ups and the downs of it, it means more than I can put into words. It got me over this finish line of being a student again and graduating. That goal once seemed impossible. To those who have asked me, “Why this? Why now?” I pursued higher education to reclaim a piece of myself. When you come out of a high-control group like Scientology, or even a high-control family, there are parts of you that were never allowed to fully develop. Those parts include your curiosity and your ability and right to question. Education was discouraged because knowledge creates confidence in your ability to trust your own mind and navigate the world. That leads to true independence, and that would never be allowed. I wanted that back. But more than that, I needed to understand. I needed to understand how my mother could have us join Scientology when I was just eight years old, and how my family and I could be part of something like this and stay in it for so long. I needed to understand how these systems work, how they influence people, and how they take hold. Without education, access to real information, and support, people can fall into systems that work against their best interests. Some assume that because they are educated, even highly educated, they would never fall for something like this. But it turns out that is not necessarily true. What many of us are impacted by, but never quite understand, is how high-control groups operate. Many still do not understand how misinformation spreads, and how tribalism and radicalization shape what we think, what we believe, and who and what we trust. Without that awareness, none of us are immune. Today, we are seeing how these forces can influence good people and distort reality. History has shown us that this is not new; it just comes in a different form now. Social media connects us in ways we never imagined, but it also creates echo chambers that reinforce beliefs and justify behavior without question. Real critical thinking is hard when we are fed so much by algorithms designed to appeal to us. In learning and achieving this milestone in my own life, it has helped me take a good, hard look at my own beliefs and ideologies. This journey was about healing for me, but also about figuring out how to help others in whatever way I can in the future. So what is in my future? I am considering continuing my education and possibly pursuing a master’s degree, with the goal of contributing to advocacy and policies that protect people, not systems. For now, I am taking this moment in. I am proud of myself. And I am grateful. Thank you for being on this journey with me.

To every individual out there,hold your head high and walk with strength. The world will always have opinions, noise, and judgments, but none of it defines you unless you allow it to. Your journey, your voice, and your courage are what truly matter. What you leave behind stays in the past, let it go without guilt or hesitation. What lies ahead is yours to shape, to conquer, and to own. Keep moving forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose. This is not just the end of a year, it’s a reminder of how far you’ve come and how much more you are capable of becoming. A beautiful wrap up to 2082, and an even stronger beginning to everything that awaits you.

“Just a reminder that people won’t be able to go to the store and feed their kids this month. They won’t be able to get what they need let alone want.” Here’s my reminder to you that these people are not necessarily getting what they need, they are getting what they want. And another reminder that it should not be the responsibility of the American taxpayer to pay to feed your children when you are enable body to dull, who can go get a job and take care of your own babies. Step up and do better.
