In this video, Mike Koenigs illustrates what he believes to be the most compelling current business application of AI through a concrete story. He introduces Lynne Twist, author of The Soul of Money and founder of the Pachamama Alliance, which works in the Ecuadorian Amazon and has engaged with one of the last uncontacted tribes. After attending a fundraising event for the nonprofit, Koenigs records the event using an AI‑powered handheld device called Applaud. He then feeds the audio into Google’s NotebookLM and instructs the video‑generation platform InVideo to create a short promotional clip. He highlights the efficiency of this workflow, noting that the entire production costs roughly one US dollar per second of video. The narrative serves to demonstrate how AI can streamline content creation, reduce production costs, and amplify nonprofit fundraising efforts.

It's called Applaud. It is an AI-powered gadget and it's got a button on it so you can record conversations. And I took that recording and I put it into NotebookLM. I gave InVideo an instruction. This is the result.
We were called to the Amazon, not just a forest, but the source of the climate system, the source of life itself. It is the only place on Earth that survived the Ice Age to repopulate our world. We are building an alliance of alliances using advanced AI. We are creating a network of global organizations working for the flourishing of—
And if you're wondering how much does it cost, that whole thing, it works out to be around Probably just around a dollar per running second.
