Summary
It’s spooky season, and Midjourney’s acting possessed — new UI, style creator, and a personalization trick you weren’t supposed to find. Drew and Rory break down why Midjourney’s entire system is quietly evolving—from Style Creator and V6 personalization inside V7 to what V8 might unlock. They also unpack Figma’s surprise grab of Weavy, Adobe Max’s wild AI experiments, and Google’s Pomelli quietly rewriting ad generation. This episode connects the dots: how personalization, node-based canvases, and real creative workflows are converging into one massive shift.
