Hey,

I told you I wasn’t going to talk about Kling 3.0 until I actually used it.

Not just watched the demos.
Not just scrolled through the hype.
Actually put it inside a real project to see what happens.

So that’s what I’ve been doing this week.

Some of it was client work I can’t show yet. Some of it was my own story work. But either way, I wanted to answer one simple question.

Can I actually build with this?

Here’s the honest answer.

Yes.
But not casually.

Kling 3.0 is slow right now. You wait. You regenerate. You adjust. You question your prompt. You question yourself.

And then every once in a while, it gives you a shot that makes you lean back in your chair.

That’s the moment that changes things.

For me, the real shift isn’t just the base model. It’s Omni.

The elements system.

*It is a really good guide to get you started with the Elements feature and a lot of prompt examples

Being able to create characters, tag environments, lock props, and reuse them across shots feels different. It feels closer to directing than prompting. Like you’re building a small film bible inside the tool, instead of hoping your description holds everything together.

It still drifts. Multi-shot can be unpredictable. Dialogue has to be explicit. And because it’s new, iteration feels heavier than it probably will in a few months.

But compared to where we were even half a year ago, this is a meaningful step toward narrative control.

If you want the full breakdown, I did a deep dive on YouTube where I walk through the workflow, the failures, the wins, and exactly how I’m using it in my pipeline.

And because I know most of you aren’t just watching this stuff for entertainment, I also put together something practical.

I compiled everything into a free comprehensive briefing and prompt guide. It breaks down the models, the differences between standard Kling and Omni, how the elements system works, and how to think about prompting in a way that makes sense for real story work.

One more thing.

Seedance 2.0 is on the horizon. I’m watching that closely. If Kling just pushed control forward, I’m curious to see how Seedance responds. We’re clearly in that phase again where these tools are leapfrogging each other every few months.

I’ll keep testing.

I’ll keep building.

And I’ll keep telling you what actually holds up when you try to make something real.

AI for Real Life

AI should work for you, not the other way around. Yet most AI tools still make you do the work first—explaining context, rewriting prompts, and starting over again and again.

Norton Neo is different. It is the world’s first safe AI-native browser, built to understand what you’re doing as you browse, search, and work—so you don’t lose value to endless prompting. You can prompt Neo when you want, but you don’t have to over-explain—Neo already has the context.

Why Neo is different

As AI gets more powerful, Neo is built to make it useful, trustworthy, and friction-light.
