OPENAI
📲 ChatGPT now thinks while you sleep

Evolving AI: OpenAI has launched a new feature called Pulse inside ChatGPT, that studies your preferences overnight and gives you a personalized update in the morning.

Key Points:

• Pulse works best when you connect your calendar, email, and chat history.

• The update appears as visual cards with suggestions, reminders, or routes based on your daily plans.

• It is part of OpenAI’s broader push into autonomous AI agents that act without waiting for prompts.

Details:

Pulse marks the start of ChatGPT becoming more proactive. It uses your past conversations, events, and connected apps to generate daily insights and suggestions based on your goals. In demos, Pulse planned a route to dinner after a run, offered dairy-free menu ideas, and suggested recovery exercises based on the user’s day. You can guide it by sharing what's on your mind or what you’d like help with. OpenAI says data stays private and isn't shared across users. Still, giving more access raises questions about privacy and safety. The team says filters are in place but didn’t share full details. Pulse is not built to keep you scrolling. It delivers a quick set of updates, then stops.

Why It Matters:

Pulse signals that AI is no longer just standing by waiting for prompts. OpenAI wants ChatGPT to slip into your daily rhythm by planning ahead, nudging you at the right time, and making your tools feel more like teammates. It’s a turning point: we’re moving from “AI that waits” to “AI that works with you.”

How to stop sharing audiences with your competitors

Let’s be real: most ad targeting is slow, built on junk data, or relies on the same segments your competitors are buying. That’s why we built AudienceMaker — so you can create, model, test, and launch segments yourself, instantly. Push them right to Meta, Google, TikTok, Amazon and more.

GOOGLE
🤖 AI is now standard for nearly every dev, says Google

Evolving AI: Google’s 2025 DORA report shows AI makes good teams better and bad teams worse.

Key Points:

• 90–95% of developers now use AI, but only 59% say it improves code quality.

• AI boosts teams with solid systems and hurts those without.

• Seven practices and two key factors define successful AI adoption.

Details:

Google’s 2025 DORA report shows AI is now used by nearly every developer, but the results vary widely. Teams that already have strong systems in place like clean code practices, version control, and internal platforms are seeing big gains in both speed and output quality. But for teams with poor habits or messy workflows, AI tends to make things worse. The report outlines seven practices that consistently lead to better results and makes it clear that AI adoption only works when the foundation is solid.

Why It Matters:

AI is now exposing the gap between well-run teams and the ones just getting by. The latest DORA report makes it clear that success with AI has less to do with the tools and more to do with how your team already works. If your systems are a mess, AI adds speed to the chaos. But if you've got clean workflows, strong platforms, and clear priorities, AI becomes a real advantage.

MICROSOFT
🤝 Microsoft adds Claude to Copilot

Evolving AI: Microsoft is now offering Anthropic’s Claude models inside Microsoft 365 Copilot, giving businesses more choice beyond OpenAI.

Key Points:

• Microsoft 365 Copilot users can now select Claude models alongside OpenAI’s.

• The Claude models are integrated into the Researcher agent and Copilot Studio.

• Admins must approve their use, and they run in Amazon and Google clouds.

Details:

Microsoft just expanded its Copilot assistant by integrating Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.1 and Claude Sonnet 4 models. These are now available inside the Microsoft 365 Copilot Researcher agent, which helps users analyze information and write reports. It’s the latest move from Microsoft to diversify its AI sources beyond OpenAI, its longtime partner and the core engine behind Bing and Windows AI features. Users in Microsoft’s early-access Frontier program can already try Claude, and more integrations are on the way. Microsoft is also offering Claude models in Copilot Studio for building custom AI agents.

Why It Matters:

Microsoft pulling in Anthropic’s Claude models into Copilot shows how fast the AI space is changing. Instead of sticking to one partner like OpenAI, Microsoft is opening things up. That means users get more control, more options, and better results depending on what each model does best. It's a clear sign that the future of AI tools will be less about loyalty and more about what actually works.
