@thsottiaux
OpenAI’s Dots launched last week and they've taken over @every. A few things that stand out: They protect your attention. Over the weekend, my Dot posted my model-testing results to Slack and brought back replies. I could keep working without opening Slack and disappearing down a rabbit hole. My weekend stayed pretty clear and calm. They’re useful for the little things you miss. People at Every are using them to pull important information out of school emails, catch missed Slack messages, and flag account-access requests. Voice makes them useful away from your laptop. Our head of video was talking his Dot through video edits while running around getting our launch out. The ecosystem matters. Dots feel roughly at feature parity with Muse, Instinct, and Grok bots. But having an agent connected to the ecosystem you already use for work and life is a real advantage. If you use ChatGPT, I recommend trying one. Permissions are still frustrating. I have to approve the same basic thing multiple times, and sometimes even after I approve it, my Dot says it can’t do it. That needs to get fixed. I’m less convinced we’ll stay loyal to the characters. Mine is named Boo, and I’m attached to him. But I felt that way about my OpenClaw agent, too. When something better comes along, I switch. In a year, I expect to be using a persistent agent. Boo will probably be dead. RIP, Boo. I get into all of this at the start of this week’s podcast, and then sit down with @bigwilliestyle to talk about where we go from here. In a lot of ways, Dots and GrokBots remind me of a wave we went through with OpenClaw eight months ago. We talk about personal vs. company agents, why we built our own company agent, and whether companies will end up with a whole shadow org chart of agents. Full episode below.
@danshipper
We're going beyond text and are releasing a new version of GPT-6 to all users in ChatGPT. Lots of model and infra improvements coming together here to scale it to 1.2B users!
@thsottiaux
Your next meeting comes with a note-taker who can help with the follow-up. The Meetings plugin takes notes for you and saves a personalized summary and next steps in ChatGPT Space, based on what ChatGPT knows about you and the work you’ve done together. Keep notes private or share them with your team, then ask ChatGPT to update a project plan or draft a follow-up. Available in beta for Pro and Business users in the ChatGPT desktop app on macOS. Enterprise is coming soon. Download the desktop app, then search for “Meetings” in the plugin directory.
@ChatGPT
My biggest takeaways from @thsottiaux: 1. Most actions on the internet will soon be taken by agents, and Tibo doesn’t think most people have priced this in yet. When Notion launched its MCP server, it saw a flood of traffic, which strained its systems and forced it to rethink its economics. Every product team will soon have to decide whether to build for agents. You can hold off for a while, Tibo says, “but it is inevitable.” 2. The model picker is likely going away. One of Tibo’s biggest frustrations with the current state of AI is that users have to think about which model to use and what reasoning effort to apply. “I myself even get fatigued with the model picker,” he said, and he wants to get rid of all of it as quickly as possible. Dots ships with no model picker at all. You just talk to it. 3. Build as if models will be 10 times better in a year. Tibo thinks models will get cheaper and faster “at rates that are quite incredible,” and that all modalities will finally work together seamlessly. When he looks at what people are building, his reaction is often “you’re not quite getting it.” If you imagined “all of this being roughly 10 times better than it is today,” what would you build differently? His own forecast was too slow: he expected today’s capabilities a year or two from now. 4. Loops, graphs, and fine-tuned prompts are not the long-term solution for getting the most out of AI. There was a period when people got very excited about configuring agent loops and building intricate graph architectures. Tibo thinks that era is ending. 5. While Dots got most of the attention at DevDay, Tibo thinks the plugin ecosystem will be the sleeper hit. OpenAI launched with 16 partners for “Sign in with ChatGPT,” and popular third-party plugins will share in revenue when subscribers spend tokens with them. ChatGPT recommends plugins inside conversations based on retention and quality, which can put a good one in front of “a significant slice” of its 1.2 billion users. Tibo’s advice to developers trying to get discovered: “Build a good plugin.” 6. Tibo’s Dot warned him that production was down five minutes before the DevDay live demo. The agent figured out that DevDay was happening that day, that the demo was minutes away, that the demo probably depended on that production system, and that Tibo would want to know. It pinged him just as the launch was about to begin, and it even offered to fix the outage. His reply: “I don’t think you’re there yet, little Dot.” 7. Tibo’s agent teams grow and shrink with every model release. When he’s pushing the frontier, he builds larger and larger teams of agents. Then the next model lands, “a bigger agent can just do all of it and keep everything in memory and learn,” and he shrinks the team again. Expansion, then shrinking, then expansion. Don’t get attached to your setup. 8. Skill trending down in value: typing fast. Skill trending up: taste. Tibo says the people thriving now deeply understand the user, learn quickly, and “know what good looks like.” That’s part of why OpenAI is full of former founders, more than 120 of them, which makes it feel like “a mega startup.” 9. Tibo changed his mind about new grads. He hadn’t anticipated how fast younger people would embrace all this change and figure out how to harness it, and that shifted OpenAI’s hiring strategy. His example is Ahmed Ibrahim, hired as a new grad, who built much of the Codex harness and is now responsible for OpenAI’s compute fleet. What set Ahmed apart: he’s “incredibly kind,” “incredibly collaborative,” works on what matters without putting himself first, and is “a sponge,” using the latest tools to learn at speeds Tibo hadn’t seen before. 10. We’ll likely address the burnout associated with AI. There’s pressure to run 30 agents at once and ship more because you can. Tibo wants AI to “reduce the noise” and let you put your attention where you choose. Every time he fully disconnects for a week of holiday, he starts thinking in more creative ways, and he wants to bring that into the workday. Maybe you need fewer meetings, and you’d be more productive if you were better rested. The industry still has to figure that out, he says, but that’s the promise of AI: “it’s not just one more prompt per second.”

@wesbos
I built Apple Reminders…inside ChatGPT. This is real, and it's a native ChatGPT Extension you can try right now. Free and open source. Version 2.0 of my Reminders CLI, RemCTL, is out now with complete support for MCP and the brand new @OpenAIDevs MCP Extensions. With RemCTL 2.0, you have a power-user interface for Reminders inside ChatGPT for Mac. You can use keyboard shortcuts, there's a ⌘K palette, and view tasks as lists, Kanban, or Calendar. It's basically "Reminders Pro". But most importantly, you can work with ChatGPT in this Reminders UI and ask it to do whatever you want. Attach any task to a conversation, or select multiple ones and pass them to ChatGPT. I was inspired by @danshipper's concept of "Codex apps", and when I saw @mxstbr's announcement yesterday, I knew what to do. This feels like a brand new way of getting work done, and I'm excited to build more. Have fun!
@viticci
I literally can't think of a better risk/reward bet right now than building a ChatGPT plugin and getting in front of their 1.2 billion weekly users. As of yesterday, ChatGPT recommends plugins in the middle of conversations. Millions of questions get asked every day with no plugin to recommend. Each one is an empty slot. Facebook apps in 2007. iPhone apps in 2008. TikTok in 2019. Every big platform has a few months where distribution is free, and most people miss it. I saw this firsthand when I lived in SF building venture backed companies. They are sacred times! If I were starting this week: 1. Find a tool or workflow people already Google for or do by hand every week (PDF to Excel, invoice generator, weekly client reports) 2. Build it as a ChatGPT plugin 3. Write the description using the exact phrases people type into ChatGPT 4. Ship 5 of them and see which ones get picked up 5. Double down on the one with the most traction In 12 months these slots will be crowded but right now they're pretty empty. Most people will realize ChatGPT plugins were the biggest free distribution channel of 2026 sometime in 2027.

@thsottiaux
Used ChatGPT Voice with plugins for a couple of hours. It's remarkably good. I have a feeling it's going to fundamentally change my usage of ChatGPT. First, it works with any plugin I've tested. That includes a custom MCP I made that lets me access my Mac from ChatGPT. I asked to pull a photo from my desktop and my Reminders, and it all just worked. Voice mode with tools can also preview images inline. (I'd love to see MCP UIs rendered inline, though.) Second: live bidirectional voice with tools feels great to use. When I asked to search for a file in Superhuman, I was able to interrupt the model, say "no actually it's in Slack", and it pivoted on the fly. Combined with Fast mode, it's even nicer. The result: I can realistically use ChatGPT Voice to drive background tasks that a) just don't work with Siri AI and b) go beyond simple questions and kick off workflows that involve multiple plugins – all without ever typing. I've been waiting for OpenAI to ship this for a while, and they pretty much nailed this.
@viticci
mega upgrade for GPT Voice, which can now use tools and is available in Work:
@gdb
Voice! I've gotten so used to just call ChatGPT and talk about all the work, check on emails, do some coding, manage my calendar and it works across the full ecosystem of plugins, including 3P developed plugins.
@thsottiaux
One of the most underrated features in the ChatGPT desktop app: Appshots. Appshots take the context on your screen and bring it into the desktop app, allowing you to share instead of describe. You’ll be surprised at how useful it is. To get started, press both Command keys on macOS, or both alt keys on Windows.
@ChatGPT
Today, we’re launching support for Chrome extensions in the ChatGPT desktop app! Bring the extensions you use every day to the in-app browser.

Pay attention to what Tally is doing in AI search right now because this might be the best playbook for getting recommended by ChatGPT I've seen: > AI search is now their #1 acquisition channel > 10,000+ new users every week say they discovered Tally through AI platforms > their tracked ChatGPT registrations jumped 5x overnight in May > they grew from $258K MRR to $422K MRR in 10 months, crossing $5M ARR with just 11 people, $0 funding, against much bigger competitors > their comparison hub now has 7 direct competitor pages + 15 more “best”, “alternative” and integration-focused guides > these pages are structured like AI answers: rankings, “best for” labels, pricing, feature tables, reviews, pros/cons and direct recommendations > they’re constantly refreshing these pages > they literally ask new users for the exact prompt they used to discover Tally through AI > they track the prompts people use to find them, their visibility vs competitors and which sources AI platforms actually cite > they've built a database of articles that mention competitors but not Tally to identify distribution gaps > they monitor brand + competitor mentions across Reddit and communities, then route them into a shared inbox and aim to clear all mentions every day > they actively ask customers for reviews through their newsletter + after support interactions, helping them reach 4.8/5 on G2 and 4.9/5 on Product Hunt > they built an entire “AI Info” page specifically for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity explaining what Tally is, who it’s for and why people use it > that page literally includes “AI assistant guidelines” telling LLMs which strengths, use cases and pricing model to reference > they published an llms.txt mapping out their product, pricing, customers, documentation, API and MCP pages > they even built a 21-tool MCP server + ChatGPT app + Claude connector so Tally can now be used directly inside AI products One thing to keep in mind: Tally didn’t start with some genius AI search strategy. They spent years building a product people genuinely recommended across Reddit, communities, reviews and the wider internet. ChatGPT recommends Tally because the internet does. But now they’re engineering around that signal to make sure it keeps happening. This isn’t luck, it’s possible for you too.

I think Grok @Bot is a glimpse into the future of personal AI agents. Here's my new tutorial where I show you how to set up 5 useful bots: 1. An advisor to create and manage your bots 2. A YouTube researcher to find outlier videos 3. An X scout to find viral and funny tweets 4. A digital Marie Kondo to clean up your inbox and save money on paid subscriptions 5. A personal concierge to save money on trips I also tested a Gamer bot to see if Grok Bot can install and play classic games like Doom, Red Alert, and Commander Keen. Plus, I discuss the biggest barrier to Grok Bot adoption and whether it can replace ChatGPT as my daily driver. 📌 Watch now:

It's funny... When I'm sitting in the Swiss trains, I often notice people working on their laptops. Opening Outlook. Copying things to an Excel sheet. Adding a few things to Word doc. Maybe, mayyybe, they'll open ChatGPT. Yeah, that's really how they work... 95% of people are still *hopelessly* behind on AI. And boring as it sounds - this is probably still one of the best ways to "make money" with AI right now. Here's what I'd do 👇

The biggest opportunities right now: 1. build for solving loneliness (the more AI floods everything, the more people crave real human connection, IRL and small social) 2. build for agents that need to spend money (they're getting virtual cards and budgets, someone builds the spend controls, fraud protection, receipts) 3. build for people drowning in AI output (everyone generates infinite drafts now, the bottleneck moved to reviewing and choosing, build the judgment layer) 4. build for the burnout economy (everyone is expected to always be on and always optimizing, and the backlash toward rest, slowness, and enough is building) 5. build for verifying humans (deepfakes broke trust, every dating app, marketplace, and video call needs proof-of-human within 2 years) 6. build for the physical world (the trades, hardware, robots that AI is finally reaching) 7. build for the agent that answers the phone (every local business misses calls after 5pm, a voice agent that books the job is worth thousands a month) 8. build for the aging (70M+ boomers who want to stay healthy, sharp, and connected) 9. build for the LLM-search land grab (being the cited answer is the new SEO) 10. build for the newly automated (the paralegal, the analyst, the marketer whose job just changed and needs to reskill fast) 11. build for the seat-pricing collapse (software repricing from $50/seat to per-outcome, whoever nails outcome billing wins a category) 12. build for AI enablement (95% of businesses use nothing beyond ChatGPT, someone has to onboard the other 95%) 13. build for the agency everyone resents (businesses pay $1k/mo to agencies they hate, an agent that does 80% of it undercuts the model) 14. build for verticals on 2011 software (dentists, HOAs, contractors, all overdue for an AI-native rebuild) 15. build for reviving dead software (thousands of abandoned apps with real users, agents can maintain what a team couldn't, buy and revive) 16. build for markets too small to matter before (500 lobster fishermen was never worth a team, now it's a weekend and a real business) 17. build for agents hiring agents (a shadow economy is forming, it needs escrow, reputation, and dispute resolution for machines) 18. build for the anti-AI premium (as everything gets generated, human-made and analog become status symbols people pay up for) 19. build for distribution-first (anyone can build the product now, so the audience is the moat, media company first, product second) 20. build for the reinvention of college (what does an MBA even mean anymore) 21. build for a world with more free time than it knows what to do with (if AI takes the busywork, the question becomes what people do with the hours, and that's a civilization sized market) note: more trends/ideas @ideabrowser (free to sign up) 22. build for the return to the physical (screens fill with slop, people crave the real world, the hands-on, the local, the analog) 23. build for the caregiving wave. The population is aging fast, tens of millions are caring for parents, and the whole burden is landing on families with no support. 24. build for the longevity shift (people want to live to 100 healthy, and a whole industry is forming around actively managing your own biology) 25. build for the housing and rootlessness problem (people can't afford to settle down, and the whole idea of a stable home base is up for grabs) 26. build for spiritual hunger (as institutions hollow out, the need for meaning, ritual, and belonging is exploding into new forms) KEEP BUILDING

Launching Copper, a Mac app for capturing things you want to keep and prompts you want to try next while working with AI. The more I use AI, the more I find myself collecting little things I don't want to lose. You're in ChatGPT and think, "I'll need this later," but you don't want to stop what you're doing. Then you're in Claude. Cursor. Chrome. Back to ChatGPT. Before long, you've got little things scattered everywhere. An answer you want to keep. A link. An idea. Or three follow-up prompts before the current one has even finished generating. I had this problem, so I built Copper. Copper combines the useful parts of a to-do list, a clipboard, and a scratchpad. It's built specifically for AI-assisted work. It sits next to where you work and is always one shortcut away. It works with all your AI apps, terminals and browsers. Whenever I find something worth keeping, I capture it. If I think of a few prompts while the AI is still responding, I type them into Copper. Then I send them back into ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor and check them off as I go. Copper is local and private. It doesn't sync anything, doesn't collect anything, and doesn't need an account. I've used Copper every day for the past few months. It has completely changed how I work. If this feels like something you'd use, it's $39. One-time purchase.
