CapCut Adds AI Text Templates on Desktop
CapCut, the ByteDance-owned video editing tool, has introduced AI text templates for its desktop version. Reported by app researcher Radu Oncescu, the feature provides templates that let creators generate and stylize on-screen text using AI, with design motifs such as popcorn, metals, and fruits. The aim is to help content stand out and to make key messages more prominent in visuals. ByteDance owns both CapCut and TikTok, and the article notes a Direct Post capability that lets AI-optimized CapCut content be published directly to TikTok. CapCut for Business, launched last year, already offered fast content optimization for video and graphics, signaling the company’s broader push to embed AI-assisted tools for creators and advertisers across its ecosystem.

OK Future's AI 'Pressure Cooker' Campaign for Goodwipes
Former MullenLowe U.S. CEO Frank Cartagena launched creative shop OK Future to test generative AI's potential for a small agency. Their first project, a spoof of OpenAI's Astra ad for personal hygiene brand Goodwipes, was produced in four days using AI tools like ArtCraft, Seedance, and OpenAI's Astra model, cutting projected production costs from $700,000. The campaign, 'Meet Asstra,' gained over 1.5 million views on Reddit. However, Cartagena described the pace as 'unsustainable' and a 'pressure cooker,' with team members working around the clock and even threatening to quit. Goodwipes' SVP of Marketing, Meredith Diehn, emphasized trust in Cartagena and the value of experimenting with AI.
