This is the audio version of my Substack newsletter. My name is Alperen Zeki Gokmen. In this episode, I talk about how I let AI create my podcast and how it worked better than I thought. I share how I used Notebook LM to turn text into a natural-sounding podcast with almost no effort.

I also talk about a simple way to keep your X (Twitter) automations working on Make.com, even after recent changes. You’ll hear about new, easy-to-use AI agents that can help with research, writing, and more, even if you don’t code.

I share the latest trends in startup growth from the new Startup Ecosystem Index, and I highlight Y Combinator’s top startup ideas for 2025. Finally, I cover the main AI announcements from Google I/O 2025, including updates for AI videos, search, and creative tools.
