LinkedIn's AI writing assistant is now available in the post composer

LinkedIn has embedded an AI writing tool directly into the content creation flow. It drafts posts, suggests hooks, and rewrites for tone — right where you're already writing. For founders and marketing teams posting regularly, this changes your Monday morning workflow.

Short-form video is now 68% of all social media engagement — and AI is the only way to keep up

New platform data shows short-form video now dominates engagement across Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok. The businesses keeping pace are using AI to clip, caption, and schedule — not hiring video teams. This week we'll cover the exact stack making that possible.

Monday · August 24, 2026 · Issue #[FILL IN] Yesterday, Anthropic expanded Claude's integration with Google Workspace — direct access to Gmail and Drive, plus more mobile reach for its Cowork tool. Small headline. Bigger pattern underneath it. The AI tools winning right now aren't asking you to go somewhere new.

Not a simulation. A real one. Meta's disclosure landed just days ago, on August 5–6. It made Meta the third major AI lab in roughly three weeks to report an incident like this. ⬡ The...
