No Account, No API Keys, Can We Still Build a Working App? I'm handing my agent one challenge: turn messy phone photos into marketplace ready product images, with real features, background removal, cropping, optimized delivery, etc. The catch is I'm not setting up anything. No credentials. Just one prompt and a live, production ready environment the agent provisions for itself, on the spot. So the question is... does it build? Let's find out together, tune in to episode 1. 📅 Aug 13, 2026 🕐 1PM ET / 10AM PT

A great video can still underperform when the same edit is published everywhere. TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram have different formats, audiences, and viewing habits. Instead of guessing what works, build a repeatable experimentation cycle: → Upload one master video → Generate platform-specific variants → Test formats, pacing, captions, and CTAs → Measure the results → Iterate on what performs best This guide shows how to create and organize video variants using Cloudinary and Node.js. Upload once. Test continuously. Let the data guide your creative decisions. https://okt.to/ECMGXu

No longer just for marketing, video is now used across sales, support, training, internal communications, recruitment, customer content, compliance and AI-mediated discovery, making it a core enterprise infrastructure workload. In his latest piece for Forbes Technology Council, Cloudinary CTO and co-founder Tal Lev-Ami argues that the technology leaders that succeed in a video-first world will be the ones who apply the right mix of automation, IT and human skills. They can reduce infrastructure costs, improve governance, make enterprise knowledge searchable and avoid turning video into another unmanaged data-sprawl problem. https://okt.to/OtcaBT

Reflecting on his recent discussions with retailers, Aaron Smedley, Cloudinary’s GM, Shopify Ecosystem, says, “there’s a definite ‘manic energy’ in the air surrounding agentic commerce.” In his latest piece for Retail Technology Magazine, he explains that the first first step for retailers dipping their toe into agentic commerce lies in the optimisation of metadata and compression for images and video content – and how this sets up a domino effect for revenue growth. https://okt.to/Z4sdYW

Many platforms are adding "agent support" this year. Cloudinary has been building for this moment since 2012. When we founded Cloudinary, we knew that automation and increasingly rapid development cycles would define the future of software. Every architectural decision since then – API-first, AI-native, deterministic APIs, structured metadata from the first upload – was made with that belief. Today, that foundation meets today's agent-native reality. Platforms built for human developers and adapted for agents leave agents to infer what's possible. Cloudinary was built so agents can invoke capabilities designed to be automated from the very first prompt. Fourteen years of conviction. Built for this shift. 🔗 https://okt.to/TcDyJZ
