Could AI become your close friend? What if becoming “invisible” could help your business stand out? Have your heard about Instagram's new DM features? In this episode of Mindful Bytes, you'll be introduced to a new AI gadget and how it can potentially become your next friend. We'll explore using the private feed to deepen connections with your audience and new DM features coming to Instagram.

• Becoming Invisible to Stand Out: Brian introduces a counterintuitive strategy—using DMs and private feeds to build meaningful, one-on-one connections instead of relying solely on public feeds.
• Instagram’s New DM Features: Olivia discusses how Instagram is shifting focus to DMs with new tools like birthday notifications, stickers, and customizable themes.
