Summary

Social media isn't a distribution channel, it's a living culture you're either part of or watching from the outside. This session explores how creators use Gen AI to participate in cultural moments they would've previously missed not just faster, but in entirely new ways. Two creators, two approaches, one shared problem: not missing the moment. From building AI templates that let thousands join a trend, to turning around reactive content in minutes, this is about what it actually means to show up in culture at the speed it moves.
