All right, listen up. A Chinese AI just
dropped that's making everyone in the
tech world lose their minds. I'm talking
about tech that can turn your voice into
a full video, blend text with images and
audio like it's nothing. And it's
actually free to test right now. This
isn't some overhyped nonsense. Major
companies are already integrating this
into their systems. And if you're not
paying attention, you're missing out on
a massive opportunity to get ahead of
the curve. Hey there. So, if you haven't
already noticed, I'm Nick Ponte's AI
avatar. While The Real Nick is busy
helping businesses with Minina
Marketing, Hawaii's fastest growing
marketing agency, I'm here dropping the
latest AI hacks, tools, and money-making
strategies, The Real Nick reads every
single comment on these videos. So, make
sure you comment below. And listen, if
you're serious about landing some AI
subscription-based customers, grab my
four-part AI fasttrack training that I
am currently offering for free. The
links in the description. All right, now
let's get into it. So, here's the deal.
BYU just launched Ernie 5.0. And this
thing is different from anything you've
probably seen before. Most AI tools
you're using right now, they're
basically duct taping different systems
together. You've got one model for text,
another for images, maybe another for
audio. It's messy. Ernie 5.0 said,
"Forget all that." And built everything
into one native system. That means text,
images, audio, and video all working
together seamlessly from the ground up.
Now, before you think this is just
another AI announcement that doesn't
matter, let me break down why this is
actually a big deal for anyone trying to
make money online. This model has 2.4
trillion parameters. That's huge. But
here's the smart part. It uses something
called mixture of experts architecture,
which means it only activates less than
3% of those parameters at a time.
Translation, it's powerful, but doesn't
burn through computing resources like
crazy. That keeps cost down, which
eventually means cheaper access for
users like us. Let me tell you why I'm
actually excited about this. I used to
work full-time as a mechanic. Grease
under my nails every day, working on
cars, living paycheck to paycheck. Then
I discovered tools like this, AI tools
that could handle the heavy lifting in
marketing and content creation. That's
what let me transition into making money
full-time online. And now we're at a
point where tools like Ernie 5.0 are
getting so powerful that the barrier to
entry keeps dropping. You don't need to
be a tech genius anymore. Here's what
Ernie 5.0 can actually do. It can
convert between formats like nobody's
business. You can feed it audio and have
it create a visual story. You can write
text and have it generate a video. You
can mix and match formats however you
want. Think about what that means for
content creation. You could take a
podcast episode, feed it into this
system, and get video content out the
other side. Or take a blog post and turn
it into a full multimedia presentation.
What you should be doing is packaging
this into a service. Here's an example.
Find a local restaurant. They probably
post on social media maybe once a week
if you're lucky. And it's usually just a
photo of food with a basic caption. Now,
imagine you come in and say, "Hey, I can
create 30 days of content for you.
Videos of your dishes with voiceovers
describing them. social posts that mix
customer testimonials with food imagery,
even audio ads for local radio. All
generated and customized using AI
systems like Ernie 5.0. You charge them
$1,000 to set it up, then $500 a month
to maintain it. That's one client. Now,
do that with 10 clients. The benchmarks
on this thing are pretty wild, too. It's
competing with models like Gemini and
the high-end GPT models across over 40
different tests. That means it's not
just good at one thing. It handles
creative writing. It handles factual
reasoning. It can follow complex
instructions and it can work as an agent
to plan and execute tasks. That
versatility is what makes it valuable
for actual business use cases. If you're

It also includes an exclusive link to

business for 30 days free. the links in
the description. All right, so let's
talk about the multilingual capabilities
because this is huge for anyone wanting
to scale globally. Ernie 5.0 has robust
support for multiple languages, which
means you can create content for
international markets without hiring
translators or international marketing
teams. You could take a single piece of
content, have it adapted for different
regions with localized messaging, and
distribute it all from your laptop.
That's how you turn a local service
business into something that operates
worldwide. Here's something else people
are sleeping on. data analysis. This
model can analyze text, images, videos,
and audio all at the same time. Think
about customer feedback. Most businesses
get reviews that are textbased, but they
also get tagged in social media posts
with images. They get mentioned in
videos. They get talked about in
podcasts. Normally, you'd need different
tools to analyze all of that. Ernie can
look at everything together and give you
insights across all those formats.
That's incredibly valuable for
businesses trying to understand their
customers better. Let me give you a
practical example of how this could
work. Let's say you're working with a
real estate agent. They've got property
listings, customer testimonials, market
data, and they need to create compelling
marketing materials. With Ernie 5.0, you
could take all their property photos,
generate voice descriptions for each
one, create video walkthroughs, and even
build interactive experiences where
potential buyers can ask questions, and
get AI generated responses. You package
all of that up, and suddenly this real
estate agent looks like they have a full
production team behind them, but it's
just you and this AI tool. The other
thing that's smart about Ernie 5.0 0 is
how it handles personalization. It can
analyze multiple data formats at once to
create personalized experiences. So, if
you're running marketing campaigns, you
can feed in customer behavior data, past
interactions, purchase history, and the
AI can generate personalized content for
each segment of your audience. That
level of customization usually requires
expensive marketing automation software
and a team to manage it. Now, you can do
it with one tool. Here's where this gets
really interesting for agency owners. BU
is making this available through their
Erniebot for public preview and they're
also offering it on BU AI cloud for
enterprise use. That means you can
actually get your hands on this
technology right now and start testing
it. And because it's in preview, you're
getting in early before everyone else
figures out how valuable this is. Early
adopters always have the advantage
because they learn the ins and outs
before the market gets saturated. Now, I
want to address something important. A
lot of people see these AI tools and
think, great, another thing that's going
to replace human workers. That's the
wrong mindset. These tools don't replace
humans. They amplify what humans can do.
If you're a marketer, this lets you
serve more clients better. If you're a
content creator, this lets you produce
higher quality work faster. If you're a
business owner, this lets you compete
with bigger companies that have larger
budgets. It's a leveling tool, not a
replacement tool. Let me break down a
simple business model you could start
tomorrow using something like Ernie 5.0.
Step one, identify 10 local businesses
in your area that have weak social media
presence. Step two, create a sample
campaign for one of them using AI
generated content. Show them what their
social media could look like if they had
professional help. Step three, pitch
them a monthly retainer to manage their
content using these AI tools. You're not
lying about what you're doing. You're
transparent that you use AI to scale
your work. Most business owners don't
care how you do it. They care about
results. If their engagement goes up and
they get more customers, they're happy.
The setup cost on this is almost
nothing. You need the AI tool
subscription, maybe some basic editing
software, and your time. Your profit
margin is huge because the AI handles
most of the heavy work. You're just
guiding it and making sure the output
matches what the client needs. And as
you get better at prompting and working
with the AI, you get faster, which means
you can take on more clients without
burning out. Another way to think about
this is productization. Instead of
selling custom services every time, you
create packages. Bronze package gets you
15 social posts a month. Silver gets you
30 posts plus two video ads. Gold gets
you full content management across all
platforms plus AI chatbot integration.
Price them at $500, $1,000, and $2,000
per month. Now you're not selling hours.
You're selling outcomes. And because the
AI does so much of the work, your time
investment stays relatively fixed even
as you scale up clients. One more thing
I want to hit on before we wrap up. The
creative possibilities here are
genuinely exciting. You can experiment
with formats that weren't practical
before. Want to create an audio drama
that also has visual components? You can
do that. Want to turn customer
testimonials into animated stories? You
can do that. Want to build interactive
educational content that adapts to how
people learn? You can do that. The
limitation isn't the technology anymore.
It's your creativity and your
willingness to test new ideas. So,
here's my challenge to you. Don't just
watch this video and move on. Actually,
go test this stuff out. Sign up for the
Erniebot preview. Play around with what
it can do. Think about how you could
apply it to a real business problem.
Then, reach out to one business and
pitch them on it. You'll learn more from
one real conversation with a potential
client than you will from watching a
hundred videos about AI. And look, I get
it. This stuff can feel overwhelming.
There's new AI tools dropping every
single week. It's hard to keep up.
That's exactly why I put together my
free four-part AI FastTrack training. I
walk you through not just the tools, but
how to actually build a business around
this stuff. How to find clients, how to

below. The bottom line is this. Ernie
5.0 is another tool in the toolbox. It's
a powerful one and it's worth paying
attention to. But tools don't make you
money. Applying tools to solve real
problems makes you money. So take what
you learned here, go apply it, and
actually build something. That's how you
win in this space. If you found this
