ChatGPT can do what now? 😱

This week's AI updates were low key bangers and under-the-radar model releases.

ChatGPT's latest update allows it to remember and recall anything you've done on your computer.

Google's Gemini Flash is actually fast AND cheap again. And a lot smarter.

And Anthropic is bringing a bit more power to its Claude Chrome extension.

If you take a week off from your favorite AI tools, you might come back and feel kinda lost. That's what our AI Friday Features show tackles: the latest updates that are available today to immediately upgrade your work.
