It's true that MIT is indeed...very nerdy. MIT admissions are announced March 14 and alumni reunion is 3.14 years after graduation. To celebrate, @sherwinwu (MIT 2014), @sophia_luo_ (MIT 2020), and I (MIT 2023) are excited to host this year's MIT Pi Day reunion. All alumni, researchers and MIT affiliates are invited to join. Any reposts and shares to amplify to the community are appreciated.

Excited to introduce Icon, The First AI Admaker. We’re backed by Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund & execs of frontier AI labs like OpenAI, Pika, & Cognition. Icon ( is like ChatGPT + CapCut, but for making winning ads with AI in minutes. How it works: 1. Icon looks at your video library & tags scenes (e.g. "close-up," "unboxing"). These scenes become reusable clips used as lego blocks for making ads. 2. Prompt Icon’s AdGPT to generate scripts focused on specific angles & audiences. 3. Icon finds perfectly matching clips for every script scene & generates an ad that is 80-99% complete. 4. Make edits with our CapCut-like video editor until you're happy. 3-person creative teams make 30 ads per month. With Icon, they make 300. We co-built Icon with $100M+ revenue brands like Ridge, Jones Road, Immi, Backbone, & MUD\WTR to solve big pain-points: 1. Making lots of ads is extremely painful. Icon helps you automate the tedious parts of scriptwriting, scene matching, video editing, audience research, UGC creation, & more. 2. AI-generated ads look like trash. Icon remixes your existing footage into new ads, matching your production quality & maintaining brand aesthetics. 3. Existing solutions charge $2K-$30K/month for: 🔍 Competitor ad spying & cloning 📈 Creative analytics 📹 Custom & stock avatars for AI UGC 👥 Audience research 📁 Video storage & tagging Icon does scriptwriting & video editing on top of everything above for just $999/year (their margin is our opportunity 😉). If you’ve made it this far, we have a surprise for you 👇🏻
