Nine AI agents. One mission. Zero coherence.

Remember the Telephone game? You whisper a message down a line and by the end, the message is unrecognizable.

That’s why it felt like when building the next team of AI agents in Floyi. They weren’t just passing information down the line, they were working together. But somewhere along the line, they would go from “improving gut health” to “planning camping trips” 😂 

By the end, I’d learned three key lessons:

  • Keep them reined in. Too much leeway and they wander off.

  • Use guardrails. Clear boundaries focus their power.

  • Pass in every detail. Leave out your brand and audience details, and you’ll get generic drivel.

You’d never let new hires loose without an orientation on brand, culture, and SOPs.

So why do it with AI? Most teams grab random prompts, use them as SOPs for their VAs, pray for magic - and end up with the same lackluster copy everyone else has.

When your content strategy is on the line, that gamble isn’t acceptable 💸 

With Floyi Agents, your brand voice, buyer personas, and signature style are injected into every tool automatically.

Result: Topical maps and content plans that are unmistakably yours - every time.

Stop playing AI telephone. Start using Floyi Agents.

SEO

Sundar Pichai highlighted a number of updates on Alphabet's Q1 2025 results, including double-digit growth in Search and…

  • AI Overviews now serves over 1.5 billion users monthly, with usage and query volume continuing to grow.

  • AI Mode launched in March, handling more advanced reasoning and multimodal queries with early positive feedback.

  • AI Mode queries are on average twice as long as traditional Search queries, showing deeper user engagement.

  • Circle to Search is now available on over 250 million devices, with usage up nearly 40% in Q1 2025.

  • Google Lens monthly visual searches grew by 5 billion since October 2024.

My Take: Remember, these are the CEO’s remarks…grainS of salt…

SEO Ripples

  • Google's John Mueller says image streaming might make your images look slick but it tanks your SEO. he bluntly said it is a great way to ensure your images are not found in search engines. Since streamed images are embedded like videos, Google cannot properly index them. If image search visibility matters to your brand, stick to traditional uploads.

  • Barry Schwartz reveals a new headache for content creators. Google Discover's sleek full-width redesign is coming at a cost: it is automatically cropping publisher images to fit the new layout. Critical parts of images can get chopped off without warning, affecting storytelling and brand presentation. Barry points out that while Google recommends images be at least 1200 pixels wide, even that does not guarantee your visuals stay intact.

AI

Roger Montti cracks open a glitch that gives marketers a rare peek behind Google’s AI Overviews. When users entered nonsense phrases, Google's AI started inventing confident but wrong answers, showing how it guesses user intent through a decision-tree approach. Roger reveals that unlike Claude and Gemini 2.5, which admitted confusion, Google’s AI pushed ahead and fabricated responses. Understanding how AI interprets and misinterprets queries can give you an edge when optimizing for AI-driven search.

OpenAI just unleashed gpt-image-1 into the API, letting developers and businesses embed professional-grade, customizable image generation right into their own platforms. This model creates stunning visuals across styles, follows detailed instructions, and even renders text with precision. Big names like Adobe, Canva, HubSpot, and GoDaddy are already jumping in to enhance design, marketing, and branding experiences. Pricing is roughly $0.02, $0.07, and $0.19 per generated image for low, medium, and high-quality square images, respectively.

AI Ripples

  • With Adobe’s new Content Credentials feature, users can now apply secure metadata to their files, ensuring content authenticity and protecting their work. The credentials include details like the creator’s identity, social media profiles, and even preferences for AI usage. This beta tool also includes a durable watermark and the option to inspect files for credentials.

  • OpenAI’s new lightweight Deep Research tool, powered by the o4-mini model, is now available to free users, offering high-quality, citation-backed reports with slightly shorter responses. Free accounts get five tasks a month while paid users keep their premium access to the standard model with extra capacity.

  • OpenAI plans to release a top-tier open-source model this summer and wants it to be best-in-class. The model will look to outperform rivals like Meta's Llama and DeepSeek by combining strong reasoning capabilities with a highly permissive license. OpenAI wants this model to run on consumer hardware and be flexible enough to toggle reasoning on or off.

MARKETING

Tamara breaks down how to pick the right influencers, negotiate smarter deals, and tap into the power of authentic UGC to boost trust and conversions.

CONTENT

Liraz Postan shares how to build bottom-of-funnel pages that thrive in a multi-search engine world. Liraz lays out how to design SaaS product and solution pages that instantly communicate your value, from embedding fast “try it” CTAs to creating pain point pages that speak directly to user needs. She explains how to bridge the gap between SEO and product teams, reverse-engineer LLM traffic, and structure pages for trust, clarity, and conversion.

Meta introduces a new tool for content creators. Edits, a mobile app, provides everything needed to create high-quality videos on your phone. With features like longer video capture (up to 10 minutes), easy project management, and powerful editing tools including green screen effects, it simplifies the video creation process. The app also offers real-time feedback on engagement metrics, allowing creators to optimize content for better distribution. Meta plans to continue adding features, such as keyframes and AI-powered modifications.

Content Ripples

  • Charlotte Colombo shares that YouTube’s auto-dubbing feature, once exclusive, is now available to all Partner Program members. With a few clicks in YouTube Studio, creators can automatically translate videos into French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish. Charlotte breaks down how to enroll, manually review dubbed videos, and maximize reach without extra production hassle.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Aisha Malik reports that Facebook is swinging the axe on low-quality content. Meta will now slash the reach of accounts sharing spammy posts and strip them of monetization perks. Tactics like cramming captions with irrelevant hashtags or posting off-topic bait will get you flagged. Facebook is also boosting efforts to shut down fake engagement networks and impersonators. It is part of Mark Zuckerberg’s push to bring back the “OG Facebook” vibe, focusing feeds on authentic content from real people instead of cluttered, AI-slop chaos.

BUSINESS

Tariffs are no longer a nuisance for Shopify brands — they are a serious threat to profitability. Steve Hutt shares how to survive and thrive despite the increasing tariffs. He shows how to restructure pricing without losing customers, rethink free shipping strategies, and optimize supply chains for resilience. You will learn why auditing your HS codes, managing real-time tariff calculations, and leveraging AI-driven analytics are no longer optional.
