😮 Microsoft relaunches Copilot for business with
free AI chat and pay-as-you-go agents

Microsoft has rebranded its free Bing Chat Enterprise as Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat, adding access to AI agents previously exclusive to the $30/month Microsoft 365 Copilot. Businesses can now use these agents for tasks like monitoring emails and automating workflows.

The service introduces flexible pricing options, including pay-as-you-go, with costs calculated by message types. Microsoft hopes the tool will familiarize users with AI at work and encourage upgrades to the full Microsoft 365 Copilot suite. Read it full here.

🚀ChatGPT can now handle reminders and to-dos

OpenAI has introduced Tasks, a new beta feature in ChatGPT for Plus, Team, and Pro subscribers, allowing users to schedule reminders and recurring actions. Tasks aims to transform ChatGPT into a digital assistant, handling everything from daily updates to proactive task suggestions (with user approval).

Tasks can be managed in chat threads or a new "Tasks" section on the web, with notifications sent upon completion. Currently limited to 10 active tasks at a time, this feature is part of OpenAI’s strategy to expand ChatGPT’s capabilities beyond real-time interaction.

While still in beta, Tasks marks a significant step toward AI as a full-fledged virtual assistant, with reliability and broader rollout yet to be determined. Read More.

😮Introducing CoreAI – Platform and Tools

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced the creation of CoreAI, a new engineering division to drive advancements in AI-first applications.

• Focus: Building an AI-first app stack with agentic capabilities, new UI/UX patterns, and tools for AI app development.

• Mission: Develop the end-to-end Copilot & AI stack for internal and external customers.

• Leadership: Jay Parikh will lead CoreAI, uniting teams from Dev Div, AI Platform, and the Office of the CTO.

• Integration: Azure will serve as the infrastructure for AI, with GitHub Copilot and other tools enhancing developer productivity.

🤖ChatGPT’s newest feature lets users assign it traits like
‘chatty’ and ‘Gen Z’

OpenAI is testing updates to ChatGPT’s custom instructions menu, allowing users to personalize interactions more effectively.

• New Features: Users can specify a name or nickname, profession, traits (e.g., “Chatty,” “Encouraging”), and other details to guide ChatGPT's responses.

• Unrelated to Memory: These options differ from the memory feature, which allows ChatGPT to retain or forget specific information upon request.

• Interface Update: The new menu improves usability but still relies on prompt engineering to tailor ChatGPT’s tone and style.

• Moderation in Place: Custom instructions remain subject to OpenAI’s terms of use.

This update is part of OpenAI’s efforts to enhance ChatGPT’s functionality for its 300+ million weekly users, though some report the new options have temporarily disappeared.

😮New tools to help retailers build gen AI search and agents
