Product placement
ChatGPT ACTS - it is mentioned as a tool that can connect family calendars and explain kids' interests, and make a podcast. Removing it would change the premise of the use case. X.com APPEARS - it is a watermark/platform logo. Removing it would not change what happens in the video. OpenAI ACTS - it is mentioned as a company whose opinions on AI are being discussed. Removing it would not change the video's content.
