Welcome back, Superhuman. Anthropic dropped a surprise tool on Friday — and received plenty of fanfare. It’s already been bookmarked 80,000 times, tanked Figma’s stock, and caused the CEO of a major payroll company to ask for mercy. This might be the next major tool to add to your stack.

Today: Learn about Claude Design, how to create professional decks with Grok, and get the latest prompts and trending social posts.

1. Anthropic teams up with Canva to launch Claude Design: Claude Design lets users create exportable visuals like slides, one-pagers, or mock-ups by describing what they want and then refining the design through conversation, direct edits, or custom sliders. It’s powered by Opus 4.7 and rolling out to paid plans now. See how it works or learn 7 strategies to generate the best results.

2. Chrome lets you use Search side-by-side with AI Mode: When using AI Mode in Chrome, clicking a link will now open the new page directly next to your existing page, instead of in a new tab. The Search giant says this should reduce the amount of “tab hopping” required when searching the web. See how it works.

3. OpenAI loses three executives as it winds down "side projects": Sora head Bill Peebles, OpenAI for Science lead Kevin Weil, and enterprise CTO Srinivas Narayanan all announced their departures Friday. The triple exit follows OpenAI's decision to deprioritize other projects and consolidate around enterprise AI, Codex, and building a super-app.

Same prompt. Same input. Completely different AI output. That’s the messy reality teams face when testing AI—and most are still shipping without solving it.

Nick Nisi from WorkOS shares how they tackled this problem while building AI tools that write code and answer complex questions.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

  • Test AI reliably (even when outputs change every time)

  • Catch confident-but-wrong answers before users do

  • Build simple systems to measure AI performance

If you’re working with AI in any capacity, this is a practical look at what it actually takes to make it dependable.

PROMPT STATION

Funnel Design and Optimization

Prompt: Act as a growth marketing expert with deep experience in performance marketing, user psychology, and funnel optimization. Design a complete, end-to-end marketing funnel for the following offer: [describe offer], tailored specifically for the target audience: [describe audience, including demographics, behaviours, and pain points]. Break the funnel into the four key stages: awareness, consideration, conversion, and retention. For each stage, recommend specific content types (e.g., ads, landing pages, emails, social posts), distribution channels (e.g., Meta, Google, LinkedIn, organic, partnerships), messaging angles (emotional hooks, value propositions, objections to address), and clear calls to action. Go deeper by explaining why each recommendation fits that stage of the funnel, how it aligns with user intent and psychology, and how it moves the user to the next step. Include suggestions for lead magnets, nurture sequences, retargeting strategies, and conversion optimization tactics. Also outline key metrics to track at each stage (e.g., CTR, CAC, conversion rate, LTV) and potential bottlenecks with ideas to improve performance. Ensure the funnel is cohesive, scalable, and optimized for both short-term conversions and long-term retention.

Sculptures brought to life

NanoBanana Prompt: [upload image] Transform this attached marble sculpture into a hyper realistic, modern photographic portrait while preserving all recognizable facial structure and historical features. Render the subject as if immortalized through ultra detailed large format photography. Maintain the expression, bone structure, and iconic attributes, but reinterpret them with lifelike skin texture, cinematic lighting, and natural depth. Use photorealistic pores, subtle imperfections, and historically accurate complexion. Add soft volumetric light, shallow depth of field, and a timeless, regal atmosphere. Avoid stylization; aim for museum grade realism, as if the emperor were alive today.
