Jordan Metzner and Sam Nadler unveil a tool Jordan secretly built — a mini CRM that scrapes podcast emails via RSS and auto-generates personalized, AI-written outreach using Gmail. Then they demo their favorite AI tool for creative expression: Suno, the text-to-song app that powers everything from Built This Week’s theme music to cookie-sale jingles and classical-to-trap remixes. Finally, they discuss the rise of the AI band Velvet Sundown and how AI might reshape education after OpenAI, Microsoft, and Anthropic partner with America’s largest teacher union.
