🚀 Latest AI updates made simple #6
Welcome back! This edition highlights tools and features that can streamline your workflow and open new opportunities for building smarter products.
🤖 OpenAI
What's new: OpenAI just rolled out ChatGPT Pulse in preview for Pro users on mobile. This feature lets ChatGPT proactively send personalized daily updates based on your chats, interests, feedback, and connected apps like your calendar.
It works overnight to curate relevant information. You can guide it by sharing preferences in conversations, like travel ideas or personal milestones.
What’s important is this makes AI feel like a thoughtful assistant that anticipates needs. For entrepreneurs juggling tasks, it could surface timely insights without prompting, freeing up mental space for big-picture decisions.

🔧 Google DeepMind
What's new: Google DeepMind has launched new Gemini Robotics 1.5 models, now open to developers through the Gemini API in Google AI Studio.
These include Robotics-ER 1.5, which acts like the “planner” that figures out the steps, and Robotics 1.5, which acts like the “doer” that carries them out. Together, they let robots think through multi-step tasks, look things up online when needed, and apply the same skills to different types of robots.
In demos, the robots can handle real-world jobs like sorting laundry or recycling based on local rules. Most people don’t realize how close we are to robots being useful in everyday businesses. Founders in areas like logistics or e-commerce could start testing AI-powered automation now to lower costs and grow faster.
We’re making robots more capable than ever in the physical world. 🤖
Gemini Robotics 1.5 is a levelled up agentic system that can reason better, plan ahead, use digital tools such as @Google Search, interact with humans and much more. Here’s how it works 🧵

📊 Anthropic
What's new: Anthropic’s new Claude Sonnet 4 and Opus 4.1 AI models are now built into Microsoft 365 Copilot, available for business users. This means apps like Researcher and Copilot Studio can now use Claude’s strong reasoning skills, with more features on the way.
Why does this matter? Having access to different models makes answers more reliable. You can tap into this right away to speed up research, write content faster, and boost productivity.

🔍 Perplexity
What's new: Perplexity has launched a new Search API that gives developers access to a live index of billions of web pages. It can deliver results in just milliseconds (about 0.35 seconds on average) and ranks among the best in both speed and accuracy. Designed for AI-powered apps and agents, it also steps in as a replacement for the retiring Bing APIs, offering fresh and complete search results.
Good search makes AI tools smarter and more reliable. Entrepreneurs can plug this into their apps to build faster, more accurate tools, like custom search assistants.
