Introducing Stanley: Your AI Content Agent
“Meet Stanley. Stanley is an AI head of content that lives in your text messages and work tools. He scans your Slack, recent call recordings, and Google Meet to learn your exact voice. He then texts you back with a post that sounds exactly like you. You can give Stanley feedback, like, 'Hey Stanley, this is a great post, but let's more so position it as a thought leadership piece.' He'll then take that feedback and create a new version. He can even detect AI slop like em-dashes and phrasing that sounds like it was written by a robot. He'll then rewrite it to sound like you. He can also take your content and make variations for every platform.”

It actually means "I don't trust this yet." Once we stopped defending our price. Stanley. morning, I pulled a few things worth posting about. 1. your investor call with Sequoia, you said 'we're not building a product, we're building a weapon'. that's a hook. 2. a message in #general got 50 🔥 reactions. it was your breakdown of why you stopped doing outbound sales. that's a thread. 3. our Notion journal entry about almost shutting down in February. you've been sitting on this for weeks. want me to start drafting any of these?

Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the ai-finance-aura-launch template.

UIElementPopIn

UI elements (like text bubbles, checkboxes, or icons) appear on screen with a quick scale-up and slight bounce, often accompanied by a subtle glow or shadow effect.

+ Code construction recipe

Use `spring` for scale and opacity, with a slight overshoot for the bounce. Apply a `drop-shadow` or `box-shadow` CSS property with a `filter: blur()` for the glow effect, animating its opacity.

TextTypeReveal

Text appears character by character, simulating a typing effect, often with a blinking cursor at the end. Sometimes, specific words or phrases are highlighted with a bold or color change.

+ Code construction recipe

Utilize `interpolate` on `opacity` and `width` for each character or word, creating a staggered reveal. A `linear-gradient` or `box-shadow` can simulate the blinking cursor. Use `color` or `font-weight` interpolation for highlights.

PlatformIconGlow

Social media platform icons (LinkedIn, X, Instagram) are revealed with a soft, colored glow emanating from behind them, emphasizing their presence and connectivity.

+ Code construction recipe

Implement a `radial-gradient` or `box-shadow` CSS property with a `filter: blur()` for the glow. Animate the `opacity` and `scale` of this pseudo-element or layer to create the pulsating glow effect. Match glow color to brand.
