The Drag & Drop Newsletter - Edition 85
Hello there, tech marketers! Welcome to another edition of Drag & Drop, where your friends at Mighty & True curate a simplified view of the world of tech marketing and more just for you! Let's get this thing started!

🧑💻 Has the great "Martech Unbundling" begun?
Is the era of the all-in-one marketing technology stack being replaced with single-feature products? We think it might be.
Spurred by the launch of countless and increasingly AI-led marketing tools, now might be the time to relook at your marketing tech investments with an eye toward replacing your stack with smaller, more nimble (and cheaper) solutions.
Check out the 2024 Martech Replacement Survey to see how your peers are approaching this shift.
💻 Claude 3.5: AI that works with your desktop
Anthropic just dropped their latest update: the Claude 3.5 model, now with computer usage capabilities. This means that AI can now interact directly with your files and apps for even more seamless integration into your workflow (spooky 👻). We've found it a game-changer in our testing.
The highlights👇
- 3.5 model released: A new iteration of AI that offers improved performance and efficiency.
- AI now uses computers: The AI can interact with apps, files, and your desktop, opening up new possibilities for B2B productivity. Yes, this means AI taking over your computer to perform actions, like filling out a form.
- Better contextual understanding: Improved at handling longer conversations and maintaining relevance in responses.
Watch the video below to get a sense of how AI can navigate computers like a human. Check out the full announcement here.
🔩 Tools and Events
Ideogram Canvas: Ideogram’s new Canvas feature is a powerful tool that leverages AI to help users create stunning visuals with ease 🪄. Whether you need graphics for ads, social posts, or landing pages, it simplifies the design process by turning basic sketches or ideas into polished images.
For B2B marketers, this means faster content production and less reliance on design teams. The AI does the heavy lifting, making it accessible for marketers needing quick, professional visuals without advanced design skills.
