🧠 AI that speaks your industry's language

Hey there.

The standard approach to AI education ignores a very important fact.

The same tools and techniques implemented in different industries create entirely different outcomes. So for professionals to benefit, they can’t all learn the same way.

At The Rundown AI University, we've rebuilt our entire platform around this reality. Our upcoming relaunch creates an experience that shows you how to implement new skills and solve the exact challenges you face in your industry.

This week, in our daily guides and weekly workshop, we featured tools that perfectly demonstrate this approach. Each eliminates a technical barrier while offering completely different implementation paths, depending on your field.

By joining our current members you’ll learn how to:

Speak to your audience without saying a word

Recording professional videos has traditionally been a logistical nightmare that includes coordinating schedules, setting up equipment, multiple takes, and hours of editing. Demand for video content is so high that, by the time you’ve removed all the uhms and ahs, it’s time to record the next one.

HeyGen's brand new model changes this dynamic. Simply:

• Upload any professional headshot (no special requirements)

• Type your message or upload a script

• Select a voice or clone your own

• Generate a realistic talking video in minutes

The real power lies in how different industries can apply this same capability:

• Healthcare providers can create patient education videos in multiple languages that help reduce anxiety before procedures.

• Content creators can develop personalized intros for different audience segments that improve engagement metrics while scaling output.

• Financial advisors can deliver personalized market updates to clients that strengthen relationships without scheduling live calls.

• HR professionals can scale onboarding consistently to ensure every new hire receives the same quality experience regardless of location.

Build custom AI assistance for your specific field

Every industry's knowledge requirements are different. But, too often, standard tools, with access to standard information, generate standard results.

Using OpenAI's Agents framework, you can now build AI assistants that reflect your specific expertise to:

• Search the web with your industry context in mind

• Follow methodologies specific to your field

• Apply domain-specific knowledge when analyzing information

• Automate research tasks using your professional judgment

The applications vary significantly across fields:

• Legal teams can develop case research assistants that follow jurisdiction-specific citation formats while finding relevant precedents.

• Sales managers can construct lead qualification agents that pre-screen prospects while providing personalized conversation starters.

• Students can develop study agents that create customized quizzes while adapting to areas needing additional practice.

• Government analysts can create public data monitoring agents that track community metrics while generating early warning signals for issues.

Create visual language that’s relevant to your stakeholders

Animated images don’t just look good — they communicate concepts quickly in your industry's visual style.

By combining image generation and animation tools, professionals from any background can now:

• Create 3D icons in styles that resonate with your specific audience

• Add motion that reinforces industry-specific concepts

• Generate variations for different contexts and platforms

• Build a cohesive visual experience without design experience

There are possible use cases in almost every sector:

• Marketing teams can create branded campaign icons that maintain visual consistency while reducing design costs across multiple channels.

• Consultants can demonstrates complex processes with clarity and precision without outsourcing to graphic designers

• Sales teams can develop product feature animations that highlight key benefits while making technical specifications more engaging.

• Educators can create subject-specific visual aids that help students grasp abstract concepts while improving information retention.

Scale your content creation to match your needs

Across different industries content is required to reinforce empathetic messaging, provide precision and clarity, or drive engagement and conversion. Regardless of why you need content, creating an appropriate amount of variations has always been labor-intensive — requiring manual adjustments for different contexts, platforms, and audience segments. Until recently, most professionals simply haven’t had the resources to create truly personalized content at scale.

In tomorrow's workshop, Canva's Head of AI (Danny Wu) and Product Marketing Manager (Kelsey Moore) are joining us to show our members how to:

• Create dozens of design variations at once, so you can produce tailored content for different platforms without starting from scratch each time

• Generate industry-specific copy automatically, so your messaging resonates with the exact terminology and tone your audience expects

• Transform complex data into clear visualizations instantly, so you can make information accessible regardless of your audience's technical background

• Build repeatable content systems, so your team can maintain consistent quality while scaling production across different departments and campaigns

The benefits are clear no matter where you work:

• Marketing teams can produce campaign assets for multiple platforms that maintain brand consistency while eliminating repetitive design tasks.

• HR departments can create personalized onboarding materials for different roles that improve employee experience while reducing design bottlenecks.

• Educational institutions can develop teaching materials for diverse learning styles that increase student engagement while saving faculty preparation time.

• Sales teams can generate customized proposal templates that highlight relevant case studies while maintaining professional appearance across all client communications.
