AI MARKET PULSE
Companies Cut Software Engineers But "Scramble" for AI Talent

Indeed just dropped data showing tech companies are slashing traditional roles — software engineers, QA engineers, product managers, project managers top the cut list — then immediately reallocating those budgets to cybersecurity, data analytics, and AI teams. The gap between job postings and available talent is "widening," leaving employers "scrambling to compete for a limited pool of specialists." Here's the kicker: companies now want workers who understand multiple AI tools together, not just one skill at a time. Entry-level coding demand is tanking while AI-related job listings are exploding. Translation: there's a massive gap between what companies are cutting and what they're desperate to hire for.

Why it matters for you: Companies are firing traditional workers while begging for AI-skilled people they can't find. That creates your opportunity. Build beginner-friendly courses teaching displaced workers how to pivot into AI roles — "AI Basics for Career Switchers" or "Non-Technical Guide to Landing AI Jobs." Focus on practical, everyday AI tools companies actually need. You don't need to be a coding expert yourself — just package simple training that helps people understand ChatGPT, basic data tools, and how to talk about AI in job interviews. The market is screaming for this bridge between jobless workers and unfilled AI positions.

Key Takeaways:

  • Top 4 roles being cut: Software engineers, QA, product managers, project managers all losing ground in AI reorganizations

  • "Scrambling" for talent: Companies can't find enough AI-skilled workers — creating opportunity for simple training programs

  • Bridge the gap: Displaced workers need basic AI skills to pivot — you can teach them without being technical yourself

How to Turn One Viral Thread into a Digital Product

Goal: Save hours every week by letting AI plan your meals, generate grocery lists, and create batch-cooking schedules tailored to your diet and time.

  1. Pick Your Winning Thread

    Head to your X analytics → find a thread with strong saves, comments, or shares. This is proof of demand. Copy the full thread text and paste it into ChatGPT.
    ➡️ Next action: Choose a thread that clearly solves a problem or teaches a process.

  2. Expand It into a Micro-Guide

    Tool: ChatGPT or Claude
    Prompt ChatGPT:
    Role: Content Strategist
    Task: Turn this X thread into a 1,000-word micro-guide with short sections, examples, and practical takeaways.
    Context: I want to create a paid digital guide that feels complete and useful but still bite-sized.
    Output: Organized sections with headlines, short explanations, and 1-2 actionable tips per section.

    ➡️ Next action: Review and adjust to match your personal voice.

  3. Format It Into a Digital Product

    Tool: Canva
    Search “eBook” or “Guide” templates → drop in your ChatGPT content. Use bold headers, color accents, and page breaks for flow.
    ➡️ Next action: Export as PDF.

  4. Add a CTA & Upsell

    Use ChatGPT to write a closing section that invites readers to:

    • Join your newsletter

    • Buy your premium offer

    • Or follow you for future guides
      ➡️ Next action: Copy the final version into Canva before exporting.

  5. Publish and Sell It

    Tool: Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy
    Upload your PDF and write a 2-sentence description. Add your thread link as a teaser for social proof.
    ➡️ Next action: Post the original thread again with “Want the full version? Grab the guide here → [link]”

Pro Tip (Optional Upgrade):
Use Looka to instantly design a clean, on-brand cover for your micro-guide. A strong visual identity makes your product look premium, boosts perceived value, and helps you stand out on Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy.

Why it Works:
This workflow flips content repurposing into a money-making system. Instead of letting your best X threads fade away, ChatGPT expands them into full digital guides that people will actually pay for — fast. Canva turns the result into a polished, professional product in minutes, and platforms like Gumroad handle the sales while you sleep. It’s the perfect combo of automation and leverage — one viral thread can become a passive income asset you create once and sell forever

AI SPOTLIGHT
Figure’s Humanoid Steps Out of the Lab

Watch Figure 03

Figure AI just revealed its newest humanoid, the Figure 03 — a lighter, smarter robot designed to take on real-world chores, from loading dishwashers to factory shifts. Backed by $1 billion in funding from names like Nvidia, Bezos, and OpenAI, Figure 03 runs on the company’s new Helix neural network, which learns by watching humans perform everyday tasks through VR.

It’s faster, more stable, and 90% cheaper to build than its predecessor — a huge leap toward mass-produced general robots that could one day live and work alongside us.

Key Takeaways:

  • Figure 03 aims to be the first humanoid ready for both home and industrial use.

  • Trained by Helix, its “AI brain” learns from real human motion data.

  • Investors see it as a trillion-dollar bet on the future of labor.

My Take:
The Figure 03 feels like the iPhone moment for robotics — not perfect yet, but the spark that could make humanoids part of daily life within a few short years.

AI QUICK HITS

📹️ OpenAI’s Sora hit 1M iOS downloads in under five days—faster than ChatGPT’s launch—despite being invite-only and U.S./Canada-only, signaling explosive demand for AI video.

🧠 Reflection AI raised $2B at an $8B valuation to build an open-weight, frontier-scale LLM lab in the U.S.—positioning itself as a Western, open alternative to OpenAI/Anthropic and a direct challenger to China’s DeepSeek, with a first model targeted for next year.

🔤 Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt warned that AI models can be hacked to remove safety guardrails—potentially enabling them to “learn how to kill someone”—calling for global controls on AI proliferation even as he argued the technology remains underhyped and transformative for humanity.
