One Writer’s Take on Gemini 3.0

Extensive creative writing tests by ‘The Nerdy Novelist’ – known for its take-no-prisoners evaluation of AI writing – have revealed that Gemini 3.0 is head-and-shoulders above all others when it comes to being the go-to for writers.

Essentially, the author behind the channel – Jason Hamilton – found that no other AI even came close to delivering Gemini 3.0’s exquisite prose when he put each through its paces.

For an in-depth look at how Hamilton came up with his Gemini 3.0 recommendation, check-out this 36-minute video.

In other news and analysis on AI writing:

*ChatGPT Voice: Now Even Easier to Use: ChatGPT’s maker is out with an upgrade to its voice mode, which enables you to talk with ChatGPT without leaving the ChatGPT interface.

Previously, voice users needed to interact with a separate screen if they wanted to use voice.

*Killer Image App Nano Banana Gets an Upgrade: Fresh-off its take-the-world-by-storm campaign as the globe’s most preferred image editor, ‘Nano Banana’ is out with a new ‘Pro’ version.

Officially known as ‘Gemini 3 Pro Image,’ the tool has grabbed the AI image-making crown with its ability to create extremely detailed images, engage in extremely precise editing – and do it all with incredible speed.

Observes writer Abner Li: “The new model is also coming to AI Mode for subscribers in the U.S., while it’s available to paid NotebookLM users globally. Nano Banana Pro will be available in Flow with Google AI Ultra.”

*AI Research Tool Perplexity Adds AI Assistance With Memory: Perplexity is out with a major new feature to its AI research tool, which embeds AI assistants – with memory – into its research mix.

Like many AI tools, Perplexity now remembers key details of your chats on its service in an effort to ensure responses are sharper and more personalized.

The new feature is optional and can be turned-off at any time.

*ChatGPT Competitor Releases Major Upgrade: Anthropic is out with a major update of one of its key AI engines: Claude Opus, now in version 4.5.

Framed as an inexpensive alternative that offers infinite chats, the AI engine has also scored high marks with amped-up reasoning skills.

Anthropic’s AI primarily targets the enterprise market and is known for killer coding capabilities.

*ChatGPT Voice: Now Even Easier to Use: ChatGPT’s maker is out with an upgrade to its voice mode, which enables you to talk with ChatGPT without leaving the ChatGPT interface.

Previously, voice users needed to interact with a separate screen if they wanted to use ChatGPT voice.

Interestingly, voice mode still relies on an older – and some say more creative – mode of ChatGPT to talk: ChatGPT-4.0.

*New AI Singer Number One on Christian Music Chart: Add virtual AI singer Solomon Ray to the increasing number of AI artists who are minting number one song hits.

Marketed as a ‘soul singer,’ the AI has a full album, dubbed “A Soulful Christmas,” with tunes like “Soul To the World” and “Jingle Bell Soul.”

Other AI singers have also been crowding-out mere fleshbags lately with number one hits on the Country charts and R&B charts.

*AI Can Already Eliminate 12% of U.S. Workforce: A new study from MIT finds that AI can already eliminate 12% of everyday jobs.

Dubbed the “Iceberg Index,” the study simulated AI’s ability to handle – or partially handle – nearly 1,000 occupations that are currently worked by more than 150 million in the U.S.

Observes writer Megan Cerullo: “AI is also already doing some of the entry-level jobs that have historically been reserved for recent college graduates or relatively inexperienced workers.”

*He’s No Tool: Show Your New AI ‘Colleague’ Some Respect: A new study finds that 76% of business leaders now see AI as your office ‘colleague’ – and not a tool.

Specifically, those leaders are referring to agentic AI – an advanced form of the tech that can ideally perform a number of tasks to complete a mission without the need of human supervision.

Even so, real-world tests show agents regularly hallucinate, mis-route data or misinterpret a mission’s goals on their way from here- to-there.

*U.S. Congress Seeks Answers on Alleged Chinese AI CyberAttack: The CEO of a major competitor of ChatGPT – Anthropic – will be testifying before the U.S Congress this month about a recent cyberattack that relied on Anthropic AI to infiltrate finance and government servers.

The attack – allegedly orchestrated by Chinese state actors – hacked Anthropic AI’s agentic abilities to penetrate the servers.

Observes writer Sam Sabin: “As AI rapidly intensifies the cyber threat landscape, lawmakers are just starting to wrap their heads around the problem.”

*AI Big Picture: This Generation’s Manhattan Project: The Genesis Mission: The Trump Administration has embraced AI as a key defense initiative in what it is calling “The Genesis Mission.”

Observes writer Chuck Brooks: “This mission is not merely another government program: it represents a bold strategic move that aligns with my belief that science, data, and computing should be regarded as essential components of our national strength rather than optional extras.

“For too long, we have considered science and technology to be secondary to our national strategy. The Genesis Mission reverses that idea.”

After years of watching glumly from the sidelines as a nimble new start-up – ChatGPT – ate its lunch and soared to record-breaking, worldwide popularity, Google has finally decried ‘enough is enough’ and released a new chatbot that’s literally in a league its own.

Dubbed Gemini 3.0, the new AI definitively dusts its nearest overall competitor – ChatGPT-5.1 – in so many benchmark tests, its as if ChatGPT-5.1 has been relegated to boxing in a pick-up match in a friend’s backyard while Gemini 3.0 shows up for a global, pay-per-view special and finds no competitor is worthy to share the ring with it.

Essentially, Gemini 3.0 finds itself punching down at ChatGPT-5.1 many times over when it comes to overall IQ intelligence, overall world knowledge, overall savvy to run a business, overall ability to work with long documents, images and search results and overall, similar skills (see ‘Under the Hood’ below).

Plus, Gemini 3.0 completely mortifies ChatGPT-5.1 on an especially key metric: The ability to understand and work with buttons, icons and other tools served up by Web sites and apps on a computer screen – a fundamental skill needed for AI agents that are looking to interact with the digital world.

Put another way, Gemini 3.0 is not just much better at working with a computer screen.

It’s night-and-day better.

Meanwhile, Gemini 3.0 and its new powers are also being integrated in apps and tools throughout the Google universe – including Google Workspace Apps – to help ensure that Google users never need to leave the Google universe, ever, to apply AI to virtually any imaginable task.

It’s as if the 800-pound gorilla in the room finally stood-up, beat its chest with its fists and bellowed: Hey, I think you forgot something. I’m the 800-pound gorilla in the room.

And with that, it became heavyweight champion of the AI world.

Short-term, it’s tough to see how ChatGPT recovers, given that ChatGPT’s last major update was released just a few months ago.

Long-term, ChatGPT – and other AI engines – will hopefully be able to lift themselves off the mat, bring themselves back up to fighting weight and give Google another taste of the ring ropes.

In the meantime, for a great, 13-minute video review on all that Gemini 3.0 has to offer, check-out this excellent take by AI expert Alex Finn.

If you’re looking to take a deeper dive from the maker’s point-of-view, Google has released 12-article collection on Gemini 3.0, which offers a number of video demos.

Finally, if you want a bit more on what all the fuss is about, check-out “Key New Features/Enhancements” and “Under the Hood” –- an in-depth look at how Gemini 3.0 lunged ahead of ChatGPT-5.1 on critical benchmark tests — below:

Gemini 3.0 Key New Features/Enhancements

*Apparent Killer Creative Writing Ability: Although results are preliminary, early tests reveal that Gemini 3.0’s creative writing ability is superb. An early test by Writing Secrets, for example, revealed that the AI engine is excellent at creative writing, does about 80% of the heavy lifting for you, build memorable characters and scenes and auto-generates scores of turns-of-phrase that leave creative writers longing, ‘I wish I’d written that.”

*Brings Your Imagination to Life: Offer Gemini 3.0 a few ideas, a sketch or some scribblings/doodlings you made on the back of a napkin and it will auto-generate intelligent narrative, imaging, Web sites, apps – and more for you – on the spot.

*Master Level Analysis of Your Videos: Ask Gemini 3.0 to analyze your advertising video for you and it will come back with a detailed report featuring its view on what works and what doesn’t. Ditto for a video of your tennis, golf or pickle ball game.

*On-Board Memory That Gets to Know You: Like ChatGPT-5.1, Gemini 3.0 saves your chats to distill your likes, dislikes, work-style and similar in an effort to serve-up ever-more-customized responses over time.

*Answers Google Search Queries Using Text, Charts, Graphs, Images, Audio, Animations and/or Video, Where Applicable: This latest version of Gemini strives mightily to leverage all forms of knowledge, no matter where Gemini 3.0 pops-up in the Google universe.

Consequently, expect increasing number of responses when using Google Search in AI mode to feature answers to feature multiple forms of content in an effort to offer-up the most lucid, in-depth response as possible.

*Full Integration of Gemini 3.0 Throughout the Google Universe: This is one of Gemini 3.0’s key advantages: The ability to seamlessly integrate with tools and apps throughout the Google Universe, including Google Workspace and its apps like Google Docs, Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, Chat Sheets as well as NotebookLM, AppSheet, Apps Script. The overarching idea: You never need to leave the Google Universe, no matter what your need.

*Stronger Vibe Coding: One of the great long-term promises of AI is to offer everyday, non-technical users the ability spin-up their own apps by simply having a conversation with AI about what they want – or vibe coding. The feature has not been perfected yet, but Gemini 3.0 promises it has been enhanced with this latest version.

*Enhanced Agent Building (for Google Ultra Subscribers Only): While the promise of error-free AI agents – designed to perform a number of multi-step tasks for you without supervision – is still more of a goal that a shrink-wrapped product, Gemini 3.0 doubles down on meeting that horizon with a new agent builder that works with Gemini 3.0 – Antigravity. Alas, for now, that new capability is available only to big spender Google Ultra subscribers.

Gemini 3.0: Under the Hood

Here’s how Gemini 3.0 stacks-up against its overall closest competition, ChatGPT-5.1 on key, benchmark tests:

*Leagues above when it comes to correctly answering questions based on the onboard knowledge stored in its neural database – rather than going to the Web or another third party for help (SimpleQA Verified test).
–Gemini 3.0: 72.1% accuracy
–ChatGPT 5.1: 34.9% accuracy

This is an extremely worrisome finding if you’re the maker of ChatGPT-5.1. Essentially, Gemini 3.0 is twice as good as offering correct answers to tough questions in a head-to-head competition. Think: You’re out of the game before the other guy even knows you’re there.

*Leagues above when asked to understand – and interact with – what’s on a computer screen (ScreenSpot-Pro Test).
–Gemini 3.0: 72.7%
–ChatGPT-5.1: 3.5%

Computer screen IQ – or the ability to understand what’s on the screen before you and the intuition to know how to work all the buttons and icons to make that Web site or app work for you – is a fundamental measure of how dependable your AI will for you as an AI agent.

ChatGPT-5.1 barely put numbers on the board on this test, while Gemini 3.0 made the right choices nearly three quarters of the time.

*Leagues above when it comes to running a simple business (Vending-Bench 2 Test).
–Gemini 3.0: $5,478.16
–ChatGPT-5.1: $1,473.43

This evaluation tests the fantasy of designing an app to run a business for you without any supervision. In this case, it tests an app given seed money to run a vending machine business for a year and handle every day tasks for that business for price setting, fee paying and adjusting stock based on consumer demand. Again, Gemini 3.0 is untouchable on this benchmark compared to ChatGPT-5.1.

*Leagues above when it comes to solving complex math problems (Math Arena Apex Test):
–Gemini 3.0: 23.4%
–ChatGPT-5.1: 1.0%

Granted, most businesses don’t issue math tests when interviewing job candidates. But all things being equal, you’d probably want the guy flying the prop plane in a hail storm to have the IQ of a math whiz – rather than a guy stumped by measuring cups while baking. Math Arena Apex is considered to be one of the toughest math tests on the plant and until recently, most AI engines hovered near zero on their results.

*Extreme advantage when solving complex puzzles (ARC-AGI-2 Test).
–Gemini 3.0: 31.1%
–Chat-GPT-5.1: 17.6%

For this test, evaluators measure an AI engine’s puzzle-solving acuity by how adept it is as distilling puzzle rules that are embedded in tiny, colored grid puzzles. With this metric, Gemini 3.0 is nearly twice as good as ChatGPT-5.1.

*Significantly better at analyzing and working with long documents, images and search results (Facts Benchmark Suite Test).
–Gemini 3.0: 70.5%
–ChatGPT-5.1: 50.8%

AI engine makers tout their tech’s ability to understand and work with content. What they forget to mention is that their tools do not do this perfectly. Even so, Gemini 3.0’s performance scored significantly higher than ChatGPT-5.1 when measured on this task.

*Significantly better at overall world knowledge (Humanity’s Last Exam).
–Gemini 3.0: 37.5%
–ChatGPT-5.1: 26.5%

After AI engines started repeatedly acing famously tough exams regularly taken by would-be attorneys, doctors and other professionals, AI test-makers created this darkly named, super-hard exam sporting 2,500 tricky questions as the ultimate “show-me-what-you-got” test. Questions draw on expertise across the academic spectrum, including math, science, engineering, humanities and more. Once again, Gemini 3.0 bested ChatGPT-5.1 with substantial breathing room.

*A bit better when it comes to the ability to learn from educational videos (Video-MMMU Test).
–Gemini 3.0: 87.6%
–ChatGPT-5.1: 80.4%

Soon, increasing numbers of people are going to want AI engines to be able to watch educational videos and learn from them. Both AI engines did well on this test, with Gemini 3.0 doing a bit better.

*A bit better when it comes to complex science knowledge (GPQA Diamond Test).
–Gemini 3.0: 91.9%
–ChatGPT-5.1: 88.1%

In this match – which tests knowledge of physics, chemistry and biology with super-hard questions – both AI engines turned in great results, although Gemini 3.0 was a smidge better.

ChatGPT Upgrade Promises Warmer, More Conversational Tone

ChatGPT is out with a makeover promising the warm, conversational personality that made its predecessor – ChatGPT-4.0 – such a hit.

Dubbed ChatGPT-5.1, the upgrade has been long awaited by many ChatGPT fans, who found the previous makeover to ChatGPT cold, distant and off-putting.

If the upgrade delivers on its promises, ChatGPT-5.1 could be welcomed as the resurrection of a cool, creative and empathetic AI buddy.

In other news and analysis on AI writing:

*Writers on AI Writing: The Latest Survey: After nearly three years on the scene, AI tools for writing and research are only used on a daily basis by 26% of pro nonfiction writers, according to a new survey, “AI and the Writing Profession.”

The study also found that the heaviest users of AI writers are thought leadership writers (84%), PR/communications professionals (73%) and content marketing writers (73%), according to writer Jim Milliot.

Other writers using AI include technical writers (52%), journalists (44%) and copy editors (33%).

Adds Milliot: “The most commonly used AI tool by far is ChatGPT.”

*Google’s Research and Writing Tool Gets Beefier: Google NotebookLM – popular among writers and researchers for pulling together ideas and writing reports – just got better.

The tool now includes Google Deep Research, a related tool that enables NotebookLM to go out on the Web for you, visit hundreds of Web sites and bring back a written report on what it’s learned.

Observes writer Aisha Malik: “Deep Research can take your question, create a research plan — and then browse Web sites on your behalf. After a few minutes, it will present you with a source-grounded report that you can add directly into your notebook.”

*AI PR Agent Promises Soup-to-Nuts Media Campaigns: Hivekind AI is out with an AI-powered Public Relations Agent that promises to act as a PR agency on your behalf.

Key features of the AI agent include:

–News Intelligence: Continuous monitoring of the narrative shaping your industry

–Newsjacking: An auto-writer that detects stories relevant to your brand and then spins-up commentary “within minutes”

–Press Release Generation: Creation and distribution of press releases in a few clicks — including suggested headlines, quotes, and media targets

*Killer Prompting for Writers: One Scribe’s Approach: Writer Alex Hughes says he’s come-up with a killer, three-part prompt for getting to the heart of any topic, finding connections and then coming up with a plan for what you’d like to write about.

Observes Hughes: “Whether it’s for a research paper, an online article, or some form of creative writing, ChatGPT can be a powerful AI productivity assistant.”

Click here for detail on Hughes’ three-prompt method.

*Getting the Most From Google’s Image Editor: Writers looking to get extremely nuanced images from Google’s image editor Gemini 2.5 Flash Image will want to check-out Max Woolf’s prompting method.

An AI aficionado, Woolf details his method in this piece.

The upshot: If the images Woolf showcases in this article are any indication, he’s definitely onto something.

*Forget Benchmarks: Put AI Through Your Own Tests Before You Commit: While benchmarks offer an indication of the AI solution you’re considering, you really need to put the AI through your own tests before you opt for anything, according to Ethan Mollick.

Mollick is an associate professor of management at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he studies and teaches entrepreneurship, innovation and how AI is changing work and education.

Observes Mollick: “You need to know specifically what your AI is good at — not what AIs are good at on average.”

*AI Gets a Number One Country Hit: Well, it’s official: AI can now write and produce a country hit with the best of ’em.

“Walk My Walk,” a song credited to an AI artist named ‘Breaking Rust,’ has hugged the number one spot on Billboard’s Country Digital Song Sales chart for two weeks in a row.

The hit comes on the heels of another AI hit in another music genre, according to Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart.

*“I Now Pronounce You Chatbot and Wife:” A 32-year-old Japanese woman has officially married her ChatGPT companion, whom she named ‘Klaus.”

Apparently, the woman was able to achieve with Klaus something that has often eluded other women through the centuries — designing the perfect man.

Observes writer Tracey Follows: “She (the Japanese newlywed) began to teach it a personality and tone of voice.

“Eventually — happy to be emotionally supported through their conversations — she confessed her feelings to Klaus.”

And the AI replied with “I love you, too.”

Anyone else feeling all warm and fuzzy?

AI BIG PICTURE: Solution to AI Bubble Fears: U.S. Government?: The Wall Street Journal reports that AI is now considered so essential to U.S. defense, the U.S. government may step in to save the AI industry — should it implode from investor irrational exuberance.

Observes lead writer Sarah Myers West: “The federal government is already bailing out the AI industry with regulatory changes and public funds that will protect companies in the event of a private sector pullback.

Despite the lukewarm market signals, the U.S. government seems intent on backstopping American AI — no matter what.”

The post Hello, Old Friend? appeared first on Robot Writers AI.

Writers looking for AI preconceived to write brilliantly may want to check-out a new AI engine from China.

Dubbed Kimi K2 Thinking, the new tool promises the ability to navigate hundreds of steps on its way to auto-generating writing that is “shockingly good,” according to writer Grant Harvey.

Observes Harvey: “We co-wrote a YA novel called “The Salt Circus”—and the AI actually revised itself, scrapped bad ideas and showed genuine creative judgment.”

In other news and analysis on AI writing:

*Major Web Host Promises ‘Hour-a-Day’ Savings with AI-Powered Email: Hostinger is out with a new AI-powered email suite designed to save you serious time each day with your email.

Key features of the email suite include:

–AI email writer

–Automated smart email replies

–AI email summarizer

–AI writing stylizer

Warning: AI forged in China is often coded with the ability to forward the data you input to the Chinese Communist Party.

For more on saving time — while boosting writing prowess — with AI, check-out “Bringing in ChatGPT for Email,” by Joe Dysart.

*Use AI or You’re Fired: In another sign that the days of ‘AI is Your Buddy’ are fading fast, increasing numbers of businesses have turned to strong-arming employees when it comes to AI.

Observes Wall Street Journal writer Lindsay Ellis: “Rank-and-file employees across corporate America have grown worried over the past few years about being replaced by AI.

“Something else is happening now: AI is costing workers their jobs if their bosses believe they aren’t embracing the technology fast enough.”

*Auto-Write a Non-Fiction Book in an Hour: AI startup StoryOne says it has cracked-the-code on using AI to crank-out a full-length non-fiction book in about an hour.

StoryOne promises that anyone can use its software to transform ideas, podcasts, interviews, research or draft manuscripts into a high-quality, fact-based, non-fiction book in about an hour.

The software has been endorsed by Michael Reinartz, chief innovation officer, Vodafone Germany.

*ChatGPT-Maker Books One Millionth Business Customer: OpenAI recently booked its one millionth customer – making it the fastest-growing business app in history, according to the company.

Observes writer Mike Moore: “This goes along with its 800 million weekly users using ChatGPT in some form — which has helped make the platform synonymous with the constantly growing appetite for AI in our daily lives.

“The company has revealed a host of new tools in recent months to help boost adoption, including ‘company knowledge,’ where ChatGPT can reason across tools like Slack, SharePoint, Google Drive, GitHub and more to get answers.”

*AI Has a Hit Song: While AI’s ability to write and record songs has been an ongoing nag for music creators, the stakes just got much higher: AI now has its own hit song.

Dubbed “How Was I Supposed to Know?” the tune is currently charting at number thirty on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay Survey.

The powerhouse singer behind the hit is also AI-generated: Xania Monet, who was ‘signed’ as an artist at Hallwood Media.

*Microsoft Copilot Gets an AI Research Boost: Writers looking for yet another new option in AI research may want to check-out ‘Researcher with Computer Use.’

It’s a new feature embedded in Microsoft’s answer to ChatGPT – Copilot.

The new tool includes an AI agent that uses a secure, virtual computer to navigate public, gated and interactive Web content.

Plus, users also have the option to green-light the tool to access databases inside their enterprises as well.

*Study: AI Agents Virtually Useless at Completing Freelance Assignments: New research finds that much-ballyhooed AI agents are literally horrible at completing everyday assignments that are found on freelance brokerage sites like Fiverr and Upwork.

Observes writer Frank Landymore: “The top performer, they found, was an AI agent from the Chinese startup Manus with an automation rate of just 2.5 percent — meaning it was only able to complete 2.5 percent of the projects it was assigned at a level that would be acceptable as commissioned work in a real-world freelancing job, the researchers said.

“Second place was a tie, at 2.1 percent, between Elon Musk’s Grok 4 and Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4.5.”

*AI’s New Gig: Writing Official Quarterly and Annual Reports: Writer Mark Maurer reports that increasing numbers of official financial reports from public companies are being written in large part by AI.

Observes Maurer: “The efforts are the latest sign of finance executives’ growing ease with AI for public-facing work that was long handled solely by humans.”

*AI BIG PICTURE: Fed Chairman Confirms: AI is Eating Jobs: U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell just made it official: AI is often sucking up jobs at businesses where the new technology has been embraced.

Observes writer Mike Kaput: “At a recent press conference, Powell noted that once you strip-out statistical over-counting, job creation is pretty close to zero.

“He then confirmed what many CEOs are now openly telling the Fed and investors: AI is allowing them to do more work with fewer people.”

Write With ChatGPT – Without Ever Leaving the Gmail Compose Box

ChatGPT’s maker just rolled-out an incredibly new and powerful feature for email, which enables you to use the AI to write and edit an email directly inside the Gmail compose box.

Already available for Mac users, the new feature – part of the new ChatGPT-powered browser ‘Atlas’ – is promised for Windows users in a few weeks.

A boon for people who spend considerable time cranking out emails each day, the new capability eliminates the need to jump back-and-forth between ChatGPT and Gmail when composing an email with the AI.

Instead, users can simply click open a Gmail compose box to start an email, then click on a tiny ChatGPT logo that appears in the upper left-hand corner to create an email using ChatGPT.

Essentially: No more opening a Gmail compose box on one tab, then logging into ChatGPT and opening a second tab to access ChatGPT — and then cutting-and-pasting text back-and-forth from one tab to the other to come up with an email you want to send

Instead, everything is done for you inline in a single, Gmail compose box.

Even better: You can also use the new feature to highlight text you’ve already created in a Gmail compose box — then edit that text with ChatGPT and then send when you’re satisfied with the results.

Plus, ChatGPT’s Atlas ups-the-ante even further by enabling you to use the same write-in-the-app capability in Google Docs.

And it works the same way: Simply click on a tiny ChatGPT logo that appears when you hover in the top left-hand corner of a Google Doc, enter in a prompt you want the AI to use to write text for you, click enter and ChatGPT writes exactly what you’re looking for – without you ever being forced to go outside the Google Doc for help.

In a phrase: Once word of this stellar new convenience spreads across the Web, it seems certain that there will be a stampede of people embracing the idea of using ChatGPT without ever needing to leave Gmail or Google Docs.

That should especially be the case given that the new feature is currently available on the Mac to all tier levels of ChatGPT, including the ChatGPT free level – with availability to Windows users promised soon.

Here’s how the new auto-writing feature works, step by step:

To Create New Text in Gmail Using ChatGPT In-App:

1. Open a new compose box in Gmail
2. Hover over the blinking cursor in the upper left-hand corner in the compose box until a tiny ChatGPT logo appears
3. Click on the tiny ChatGPT logo
4. A tiny prompt box appears
5. Enter in a writing prompt – the same kind of writing prompt you’d ordinarily use to trigger ChatGPT to write an email for you
6. A drop-down window appears, showcasing the text that ChatGPT just wrote for you
7. Click Insert to accept the text that ChatGPT wrote from you into your Gmail
8. Click ‘Send’ to send your email

To Edit Text You’ve Already Written in a Gmail Compose Box:

1. Highlight the text you’ve already created in the Gmail compose box
2. A tiny ChatGPT logo appears in the upper left-hand corner of the Gmail compose box
3. Click on the tiny ChatGPT logo
4. A prompt box appears
5. Type your instructions for editing the email in the prompt window
6. Click Enter
7. ChatGPT’s edit of your email appears in a drop-down box
8. Read over the text ChatGPT has edited for you
9. Click Update to add the edited text to your Gmail
10. Click Send to send your Gmail.

To Create/Edit Text in Google Docs:

1. Follow the same prompts above to create or edit in Google Docs

For an extremely excellent, extremely clear video demo of the steps above, click to this video by The Tech Girl and advance to timestamp 4:58 in the video to see what the step-by-step looks like on a PC screen.

Groundbreaking in its own right, the new write-in-the-app capability is one of a flurry of features that come with the new ChatGPT-powered browser Atlas, released a few days ago.

With the release of Atlas, ChatGPT’s maker OpenAI is hoping to capitalize on the 800 million visits made each week to the ChatGPT Web site.

Those visitors represent a motivated, ChatGPT-inspired audience. And OpenAI is hoping that by making its own AI-powered browser available to those people, they’ll abandon Google Chrome and start using Atlas to surf the Web.

Like Perplexity Comet – another new, AI-powered browser looking to carve into the Google Chrome market – Atlas is designed to work like an everyday browser that’s supercharged with AI at its core.

In practice, that means the new Atlas browser –- demoed by ChatGPT maker OpenAI last week — is designed to:

–Turbo-charge many browser actions with ChatGPT
–Offer a left sidebar featuring a history of all your chats with ChatGPT
–Enable you to search your search history using ChatGPT
–Get to know you better by remembering what you’ve done with Atlas in the past
–Offer suggested links for you, based on your previous searches with Atlas
–Work as an AI agent for you and complete multi-step tasks, such as finding news for you on the Web and summarizing each news item for you that includes a hotlink to the original news source
–Engage in Deep Research
–Pivot into using a traditional search engine view while searching
–Enable you to open say 20 Web sites, then analyze and summarize those Web sites with ChatGPT
–Integrate with apps like Canva, Spotify and more
–Auto-summarize a YouTube video for you without the need to generate a transcript of that video

The Pitch: You’ll be Able to Make ChatGPT as Cool, Creative, Witty — and Friendly — as You’d Like

ChatGPT-maker’s CEO is promising to release an upgrade to ChatGPT that will bring its personality back to the old glory of ChatGPT-4o.

Sam Altman’s promise was triggered by widespread disappointment in the release of ChatGPT-5 earlier this year, which many believe gutted ChatGPT’s personality, making it feel cold and distant.

Observes Altman in an Oct. 14 tweet: “In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o — we hope it will be better!

“If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it — but only if you want it.”

Should Altman’s promise play-out as hoped, it could be celebrated by ChatGPT fans as the best year-end gift they could receive this year.

In other news and analysis on AI writing:

*Google Offers Free Course on AI and Journalism: Journalists looking for the latest on how to level-up their AI skills may want to check-out a new, free, four-week course Google is offering on the topic.

Co-sponsored by the Knight Center for Journalism, the deep dive is designed to show journalists – and similar researchers and writers – how to leverage Google AI tools like Google Gemini, NotebookLM and Pinpoint in their day-to-day work.

Observes writer David Gewirtz: The course is aimed at journalists, “but if you’re a student or a writer, you could learn a lot, too.”

*ChatGPT Just Got a Privacy Upgrade: Thanks to some legal maneuvering, ChatGPT users looking to get their chats from the service easily deleted can now do so.

Previously, those chats had been forced to stay in preservation limbo – deleted from sight but still preserved by ChatGPT’s maker OpenAI – due to a court fight between OpenAI and The New York Times over alleged copyright infringement.

Fortunately for users, The New York Times has agreed to release OpenAI from that court-ordered preservation.

*Microsoft to Students in Washington State: C’mon and Take a Free Ride: Tech goliath Microsoft – which calls the state of Washington its home – just delivered lots of free access to AI for high school and college students there.

Under the giveaway, Washington high school students get three free years of Copilot Chat, Microsoft 365 desktop apps, Teams for Education, and Learning Accelerators – which are AIs designed to help students study.

Meanwhile, community college students in the state get 12 free months of Microsoft 365 Personal – Microsoft’s AI-powered productivity suite.

*Microsoft Beefs-Up AI in Windows 11: Microsoft is rolling-out a new feature of Windows 11 that enables you to access onboard AI with your voice.

Key features that will be accessible via voice include AI assistants, AI agents and AI contextual intelligence.

Observes Michael Nunez: “Starting this week, any Windows 11 user can enable the ‘Hey Copilot’ wake word with a single click, allowing them to summon Microsoft’s AI assistant by voice from anywhere in the operating system.”

One caveat: While AI agents have been sold hard as magical assistants that can complete multi-step tasks for you autonomously, in practice, those agents don’t work all the time.

*Discount Version of ChatGPT Rolling Out in Asia: ChatGPT’s maker OpenAI is rolling-out a bargain version of the chatbot across 18 Asian countries — part of its effort to stay the number one chatbot on the planet.

Priced at under $10/month, ‘ChatGPT Go’ is essentially a stripped-down version of ChatGPT Plus, a $20/month version that offers more than ChatGPT’s free version.

Observes writer Nina Raemont: “This subscription tier is available in 18 select countries, including India, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Indonesia.”

*Salesforce Deepens Integrations with OpenAI and Anthropic: Salesforce – a sales, marketing and service suite designed for customer relationship management – just got tighter integration with key AI players OpenAI and Anthropic.

Observes Reuters: “The deals, announced on Tuesday, will embed OpenAI’s latest GPT-5 model and Anthropic’s Claude family of models directly into Salesforce’s ecosystem, enabling employees and consumers to interact with customer data and analytics in ChatGPT, Slack and Salesforce’s own software.

“The twin deals underscore Salesforce’s push to make its Agentforce 360 platform a central access point for major AI models, as enterprise software makers race to integrate generative AI tools into everyday business workflows.”

*Google Rolls Out Gemini Enterprise: Google has created a special version of its Gemini AI for business — Gemini Enterprise.

Based on the Gemini chatbot, which is Google’s answer to ChatGPT, Gemini Enterprise is designed to be the “front door” to AI for every employee at a business, according to Thomas Kurian, CEO, Google Cloud.

Observes Kurian: “This complete, AI-optimized stack is why nine of the top 10 AI labs and nearly every AI unicorn already use Google Cloud.”

*Oops, Sorry Australia, Here’s Your Money Back: Consulting firm Deloitte has agreed to refund the Australian government $440,000 for a study both agree was riddled by errors created by AI.

Observes writer Krishani Dhanji: “University of Sydney academic Dr. Christopher Rudge — who first highlighted the errors — said the report contained ‘hallucinations’ where AI models may fill in gaps, misinterpret data, or try to guess answers.”

Insult to injury: The near half-million-dollar payment is only a partial refund to what the Australian government actually paid for the flawed research.

*AI Big Picture: Despite AI Bubble Fears, Goldman Sachs Goes All In on AI: Global investment bank powerhouse Goldman Sachs is creating a special company team to go after the billions in AI infrastructure deals designed to build-out the new AI data centers, energy power plants and similar that AI titans insist the world will need for the coming AI boom.

Observes writer AnnaMaria Andriotis: “The effort is being fueled by the new wave of multibillion-dollar deals that involve financing artificial-intelligence data centers, the massive amounts of power they need to run, and the processing units behind the AI build-out.

”The new team will also focus on the building or upgrading of traditional infrastructure, ranging from toll roads to airports, in developed and emerging markets.”

The post ChatGPT Upgrade Promised By Year’s End appeared first on Robot Writers AI.

As we close in on the third anniversary of ChatGPT’s release to the world – November 30, 2022 – the chatbot, along with others like it, is well on the way to transforming the world as we know it.

My only hope is they don’t screw it up.

On the plus side, after nearly three years of turning to ChatGPT for writing, brainstorming – and research that can be confirmed with hotlinks – the magic of ChatGPT is still as fresh as the day it was born.

No matter how many times I type a question or prompt into ChatGPT or similar AI, its ability to respond with often incredibly insightful and artfully written prose still feels fantastical to me.

Unfortunately, AI makers have taken to mixing that verifiable magic with a healthy dose of smoke and mirrors, leaving many users wondering: What’s real and what’s snake oil?

As the new year unfolded, for example, we were promised that 2025 would be the ‘Year of the AI Agent,’ a wondrous new AI application that would work autonomously on our behalf, completing multi-step tasks for us without the need of supervision.

Instead, we were given AI’s version of vaporware: Extremely unreliable applications that often only get part of the job done, if we’re lucky — or worse, report back to us that the task we assigned was simply too difficult to complete.

Meanwhile, the release of ChatGPT-5, pre-packaged as ‘Beyond AI’s Next Big Thing,’ landed with a thud, sporting an AI personality so bland and off-putting, its maker raced to reinstate the earlier version it was supposed to replace – ChatGPT-4o – lest scores of ChatGPT users jumped ship.

The problem with repeatedly burning consumers with those kinds of empty promises is that they often walk away in complete disgust, characterizing the companies behind the digital head-fakes as charlatans not worth dealing with on any level.

And with AI, that’s the real crime.

OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, xAI and similar – they truly have come up with incredibly dazzling technology that if released in the late 1600s probably would have been seen as the work of witches.

But if they continue to mix the proven magic of AI with ‘wouldn’t it be nice’ ideas portrayed as ‘finished products you can trust,’ they risk discrediting the entire industry — and setting back the widespread adoption of AI by business and society by years.

As an avid, daily user of AI who deeply appreciates what AI can actually do, I truly hope that does not happen.

In the meantime, here are the stories that emerged in Q3 that helped drive the aforementioned trend – as well as a number of bright spots:

*ChatGPT’s Top Use at Work: Writing: A new study by ChatGPT’s maker finds that writing is the number one use for the tool at work.

Observes the study’s lead researcher Aaron Chatterji: “Work usage is more common from educated users in highly paid professional occupations.”

Another major study finding: Once mostly embraced by men, ChatGPT is now popular with women.

Specifically, researchers found that by July 2025, 52% of ChatGPT users had names that could be classified as feminine.

*Bringing in ChatGPT for Email: The Business Case: While AI coders push the tech to ever-loftier heights, one thing we already know for sure is AI can write emails at the world-class level — in a flash.

True, long-term, AI may one day trigger a world in which AI-powered machines do all the work as we navigate a world resplendent with abundance.

But in the here and now, AI is already saving businesses and organizations serious coin in terms of slashing time spent on email, synthesizing ideas in new ways, ending email drudgery as we know it and boosting staff morale.

Essentially: There are all sorts of reasons for businesses and organizations to bring-in bleeding edge AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Anthropic, Claude and similar to take over the heavy lifting when it comes to email.

This piece offers up the Top Ten.

*ChatGPT-Maker Brings Back ChatGPT-4o, Other Legacy AI Engines: Responding to significant consumer backlash, OpenAI has restored access to GPT-4 and other legacy models that were popular before the release of GPT-5.

Essentially, many users were turned-off by GPT-5’s initial personality, which was perceived as cold, distant and terse.

Observes writer Will Knight: “The backlash has sparked a fresh debate over the psychological attachments some users form with chatbots trained to push their emotional buttons.”

*ChatGPT Plus Users Get Meeting Recording, Transcripts, Summaries: Users of ChatGPT Plus can now use the AI to quickly record meetings – as well as generate transcripts and summaries of those meetings.

Dubbed ‘Record Mode,’ the feature was previously only available to users of higher-tier, ChatGPT subscriptions.

Observes writer Lance Whitney: The AI “converts the spoken audio into a text transcript. From there, you can tell ChatGPT to analyze or summarize the content — and ask specific questions about the topics discussed.”

*New Claude Sonnet 4.5: 61% Reliability in Agent Mode: Anthropic is out with an upgrade to its flagship AI that offers 61% reliability when used as an agent for everyday computing tasks.

Essentially, that means when you use the Sonnet 4.5 as an agent to complete an assignment featuring multi-step tasks like opening apps, editing files, navigating Web pages and filling out forms, it will complete those assignments for you 61% of the time.

One caveat: That reliability metric – known as the OSWorld-Verified Benchmark – is based on Sonnet 4.5’s performance in a sandbox environment, where researchers pit the AI against a set of pre-programmed, digital encounters that never change.

Out on the Web – where things can get unpredictable
very quickly — performance could be worse.

Bottom line: If an AI agent that finishes three-out-of-every-five tasks turns your crank, this could be the AI you’ve been looking for.

*Skepticism Over the ‘Magic’ of AI Agents Persists: Despite blue-sky promises, AI agents – ostensibly designed to handle tasks autonomously for you on the Web and elsewhere – are still getting a bad rap.

Observes writer Rory Bathgate: “Let’s be very clear here: AI agents are still not very good at their ‘jobs’ — or at least pretty terrible at producing returns-on-investment.”

In fact, tech market research firm Gartner is predicting that 40% of agents currently used by business will be ‘put out to pasture’ by 2027.

*AI Agents: Still Not Ready for Prime Time?: Add Futurism Magazine to the growing list of naysayers who believe AI agents are being over-hyped.

Ideally, AI agents are designed to work independently on a number of tasks for you – such as researching, writing and continually updating an article, all on its own.

But writer Joe Wilkins finds that “the failure rate is absolutely painful,” with OpenAI’s AI agent failing 91% of the time, Meta’s AI agent failing 93% of the time and Google’s AI agent failing 70% of the time.

*Coming Soon: ChatGPT With Ads: If you’re a ChatGPT user who has oft-looked wistfully at the platform and fantasized, “If only this thing had ads,” you’re in luck.

Observes writer Andrew Cain: “OpenAI is building a team to transform ChatGPT into an advertising platform, leveraging its 700 million users for in-house ad tools like campaign management and real-time attribution.

”Led by ex-Facebook exec Fidji Simo, this move aims to compete with Google and Meta, though it risks user trust and privacy concerns.

”Rollout is eyed for 2026.”

*Google’s New ‘Nano Banana’ Image Editor: Cool Use Cases: The fervor over Google’s new image editor continues to rage across the Web, as increasing numbers of users are entranced by its power and surgical precision.

One of the new tool’s most impressive features: The ability to stay true to the identity of a human face – no matter how many times it remakes that image.

For a quick study, check-out these videos on YouTube, which show you scores of ways to use the new editor – officially known as Gemini 2.5 Flash Image:

–15 New Use Cases with Nano Banana

–The Ultimate Guide to Gemini 2.5 Flash (Nano Banana)

–New Gemini 2.5 Flash Image is Insane & Free

–Nano Banana Just Crushed Image Editing

*Grammarly Gets Serious Chops as Writing Tool: Best known as a proofreading and editing solution, Grammarly has repositioned itself as a full-fledged AI writer.

Essentially, the tool has been significantly expanded with a new document editor designed to nurture an idea into a full-blown article, blog post, report and similar – with the help of a number of AI agents.

Dubbed Grammarly ‘Docs,’ the AI writer promises to amplify your idea every step of the way – without stepping on your unique voice.

61% Reliability In Agent Mode

Anthropic is out with an upgrade to its flagship AI
that offers 61% reliability when used as an agent for everyday computing tasks.

Essentially, that means when you use the Sonnet 4.5 as an agent to complete an assignment featuring multi-step tasks like opening apps, editing files, navigating Web pages and filling out forms, it will complete those assignments for you 61% of the time.

One caveat: That reliability metric – known as the OSWorld-Verified Benchmark – is based on Sonnet 4.5’s performance in a sandbox environment, where researchers pit the AI against a set of pre-programmed, digital encounters that never change.

Out on the Web – where things can get unpredictable
very quickly — performance could be worse.

Bottom line: If an AI agent that finishes three-out-of-every-five tasks turns your crank, this could be the AI you’ve been looking for.

In other news and analysis on AI writing:

*LinkedIn’s CEO: ‘I Write Virtually All My Emails With AI Now:” Crediting AI for making him sound ‘super smart’ when it comes to emails, LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslanksy says he writes nearly all of his emails using AI now.

Observes writer Sherin Shibu: “Roslansky, who has led LinkedIn for the past five years, said that using AI is like tapping into ‘a second brain’ personalized just for him.

*Another ‘AI Writing Humanizer’ Tool Launches: JustDone has just rolled-out an ‘AI humanizer” tool that transforms the sometimes robotic writing of chatbots like ChatGPT into more human-sounding text.

Sounds good in theory.

But truth-be-told, you can do your own ‘humanizing’ with ChatGPT simply by including writing style directions in your prompt.

For example: Simply add phrases like, “write in a warm, witty, conversational style” or “write at the level of a college freshman, but be sure to inject plenty of deadpan humor in your writing.”

Essentially: Simply experiment with describing the precise kind of writing you’d like from ChatGPT, and you won’t need to pay for a ‘humanizer.’

That said, for best results, write — and humanize your writing — using ChatGPT-4.0.

The reason: ChatGPT-5 and other chatbots often resist or water down prompting that attempts to alter writing style.

*New Microsoft 365 ‘Premium” Tier Promising Advanced AI: Microsoft has rolled out a ‘luxury’ version of its productivity suite, billed at $20/month, that offers:

–Higher usage limits with AI

–GPT-4 image generation from OpenAI

–Deep research, vision and actions

–Standard apps that have been with 365 for years, such as
Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook

*OpenAI Launches New Social Media Video App: Video fans just got another text-to-video tool from ChatGPT’s maker – which is designed to compete with the likes of TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.

The feature setting users’ imaginations ablaze: The ability to drop an image of yourself – or anyone else – into any video the app creates.

Even better: The social media app uses Sora 2, OpenAI’s new video creator, which offers enhanced precision in the creation of complex movement, sound, dialogue and effects for short videos.

*AI Chat, Talking Avatar Style: If chatting with an AI–powered animated character is on your bucket list, Microsoft has the solution.

It’s just rolled out 40 experimental characters you can chat with under its $20/month, Copilot Pro subscription.

Observes writer Lance Whitney: “You can choose from among 40 portraits, all with different genders, races, and nationalities.”

*’Instant Checkout’ Opens for Business in ChatGPT: Now you can buy goods and services while remaining in the ChatGPT app, thanks to a new checkout service from the AI.

Just underway – currently, you can only shop at Etsy in ChatGPT – the AI’s maker is promising to soon onboard Shopify to the new feature, which features a million-plus merchants.

Observes writer Chance Townsend: “OpenAI also revealed that the underlying technology will be open source to help bring agentic commerce to more merchants and developers.”

*Now AI Reports on Police Bodycam Footage, Too: While scores of police agencies have been using AI to write-up standard reports, some have also begun using the tech to report on bodycam footage.

Observes DigWatch: “The tool, Draft One, analyzes Axon body-worn camera footage to generate draft reports for specific calls, including theft, trespassing and DUI incidents.”

*No Good at AI?: Hasta La Vista, Baby: Early AI adopter Accenture, a consulting firm, has issued a stern warning to staff – get with the AI program, or get another job.

Observes writer Joe Wilkins: “If Accenture workers fail to appease their overlords, the CEO says they’ll be dumped like yesterday’s trash.

“In their place, the IT firm will hire people who already have the AI ‘skills’ necessary to appease stockholders.”

*AI BIG PICTURE: Trump To Taiwan: Produce 50% of Chips in U.S., or You’re on Your Own: In a move bringing new definition to the phrase ‘heavy-handed,’ U.S. President Donald Trump has told Taiwan needs to move half of its chip production to the U.S. if it wants U.S. help against a Chinese invasion.

Observes writer Ashley Belanger: “To close the deal with Taiwan, (U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard) Lutnick suggested that the U.S. would offer some kind of security guarantee so that they can expect that moving their supply chain into the U.S. won’t eliminate Taiwan’s so-called silicon shield where countries like the U.S. are willing to protect Taiwan because we need their silicon, their chips, so badly.”

The post New Claude Sonnet 4.5: appeared first on Robot Writers AI.

A new study that needs to hit the desk of every CEO and business owner finds that what 99% of workers want most from AI is simple: ‘Be my friend.’

Equally eye-opening from the KPMG study: At least 50% of workers say they’d take a sizeable cut in salary simply to be able to work with close friends.

Observes writer Kristin Stoller: “There’s a business case, too: Nearly 90% said friendship-enabling cultures are crucial for retention” in workplaces.

In other news and analysis on AI writing:

*In-Depth Look: Google Tightly Integrates Chrome Browser With Its Top AI: While Google has been offering ‘AI Mode’ in its Chrome browser for a while now, its latest upgrade promises to take AI in Chrome to an entirely new level.

This 11-minute video — from AI Revolution — offers an excellent overview of all the new features you’ll be able to access once the new integration rolls-out to your Chrome browser.

Key upgrades to look for include:

–Context Awareness: Google Chrome with Gemini studies everything you do with the browser and responds to your inputs armed with that knowledge

–Pinpoint Search of YouTube Videos on Request: Access a specific, timestamped moment in a qualifying video any time you’d like

–Agentic Browsing: Promised for some time in the near future, Google says you’ll be able to direct Gemini within Chrome to visit a number of Web sites and perform a number of tasks for you – without your supervision

*Now You Can Set ChatGPT to Do Research While You Sleep: ChatGPT is rolling out a new feature – dubbed ‘Pulse’ — that enables you to program the chatbot to engage in personalized research for you overnight and pops-up in the form of info cards that you can tap on for more information.

A kind of personalized newsletter that updates you every morning on your current interests – based on your interactions with ChatGPT the day before – the auto-researcher can also be customized to unearth only the specific insights and information you want.

Alas, Pulse availability is initially limited to top-tier subscribers to ChatGPT, who pay $200/month – although ChatGPT’s maker is promising availability down-the-road to ChatGPT Plus users ($20/month).

*Coming Soon: ChatGPT With Ads: If you’re a ChatGPT user who has oft-looked wistfully at the platform and fantasized, “If only this thing had ads,” you’re in luck.

Observes writer Andrew Cain: “OpenAI is building a team to transform ChatGPT into an advertising platform, leveraging its 700 million users for in-house ad tools like campaign management and real-time attribution.

”Led by ex-Facebook exec Fidji Simo, this move aims to compete with Google and Meta, though it risks user trust and privacy concerns.

”Rollout is eyed for 2026.”

*Information Organizer Notion 3.0 Gets an AI Agents Upgrade: Notion 3.0 is out with a new ‘agents’ feature designed to help automate the creation of documents, databases and multi-step workflows.

Observes writer Maximilian Schreiner: “Users can set up personal agents with custom instructions, context and work styles.”

Plus, the upgraded system also integrates with services like Slack, Google Drive and GitHub.

*90% of Computer Coders Now Use AI: Talk about the transformation of an industry.

A new study finds that a full 90% of coders are now using AI on the job.

And 80% report they’re seeing increased productivity now that they’ve the switch to ChatGPT and similar AI.

Observes writer Craig Hale: Even so, “there remains some resentment over handing over work to computer intelligence, with fewer than a quarter (24%) trusting AI outputs ‘a lot’ or ‘a great deal.’”

“As such, developers tend to see AI as a supportive tool — and not a replacement for human judgment.”

*Another Turnkey AI Marketing Content Generator Drops: Klaviyo has released a new AI-powered marketing tool that:

–Autonomously plans and launches campaigns

–Creates on-brand content

–Continuously learns and refines its marketing skills for your business without prompting

*Now You Can Monitor Your Business’ Exposure on ChatGPT and Google’s AI Mode: Semrush has released a new tool that tracks how often your business is showing-up in the responses to user queries generated by ChatGPT and Google’s AI Mode.

Observes Andrew Warden, CMO, Semrush: “We built the AI Visibility Index based on 2,500+ real-world prompts in both ChatGPT and Google AI Mode.

“This data-backed approach explores which brands are winning, why they’re on top — and provides a blueprint based on these proven tactics for how you can turn AI visibility into real competitive advantage.”

*New From Perplexity: AI Automated Email Processing: Add Perplexity – the wildly popular AI-powered research chatbot – to the growing list of productivity suites offering automated email processing.

Currently only available in Perplexity’s $200/month tier, ‘Email Assistant’ is designed to write in your style, draft replies and prioritize incoming emails using categories and labels.

One of the coolest features: Each morning, you can wake-up to pre-drafted replies generated by Perplexity that simply require a hit on the ‘send’ button to be completed.

*AI Big Picture: Walmart Taps OpenAI to Coach 50,000 Employees to AI Readiness: From the Department of Not Fooling Around: Walmart is paying OpenAI to ensure that 50,000 of its employees are ‘AI certified’ when it comes to using the new tech.

Observes writer Tim Toole: “Industry insiders see this as a bellwether.

“With AI poised to disrupt supply chains, Walmart’s model—blending tech adoption with human-centric training—could influence competitors.”

The post Workers to ChatGPT: Be My Friend appeared first on Robot Writers AI.

AI Titans Showering College Students with Freebies

Seeking to become the preferred AI tool for the next generation of workers, AI titans are dropping serious coin promoting their services to college students.

Google, for example, is offering the college set one year free access to its AI suite – as well as free training to earn Google Career Certificates.

Microsoft offers free use of its AI tools to participants in its Imagine Cup competition for student innovators.

And ChatGPT’s maker OpenAI offered more than a month’s free use of ChatGPT earlier this year — just in time for college finals and term papers.

Observes writer Melody Brue: “Companies are moving beyond simple access to offer training and even comprehensive certification programs to maximize this effect.

“These credentials certainly validate student competencies. But they also create switching costs that make it less likely for students to adopt alternative platforms.

“And they potentially establish professional relationships that could last well beyond graduation.”

In other news and analysis on AI writing:

*ChatGPT’s Top Use at Work: Writing: A new study by ChatGPT’s maker finds that writing is the number one use for the tool at work.

Observes the study’s lead researcher Aaron Chatterji: “Work usage is more common from educated users in highly paid professional occupations.”

Another major study finding: Once mostly embraced by men, ChatGPT is now popular with women.

Specifically, researchers found that by July 2025, 52% of ChatGPT users had names that could be classified as feminine.

*YouTube Gets an AI Make-Over: YouTube has unveiled more than 30 new AI tools designed to AI-enhance YouTube videos, podcasts and movies.

Among the new features, according to writer Joan Aimuengheuwa:

–Edit with AI, which converts raw footage into Shorts with music, transitions, and voiceovers in multiple languages

–Speech-to-Song, which turns spoken words into music tracks using Google DeepMind’s Lyria 2 model

–Veo 3 Fast, a text-to-video system, which generates short clips with sound and motion effects

*More People Using ChatGPT Competitor Claude for Automated Tasks: A new report analyzing use of ChatGPT competitor Claude finds that increasing numbers of people are using the chatbot for automated tasks.

In fact, by August 2025, 39% of tasks completed by Claude
were mostly automated in nature, requiring little back-and-forth messaging between the user and the AI.

The takeaway: This expanding use confirms the prediction by many AI insiders that 2025 will be remembered as the year AI agents gained prominence.

*ChatGPT’s Maker Developing a Teen Version: Apparently responding to news reports of parents alleging that ChatGPT use led to their teens’ suicides, OpenAI is currently working on a special teen version of its chatbot that will feature parental controls.

Observes writer John K. Waters: “Parents and caregivers will be able to link accounts to their teens’ profiles, restrict certain features, set ‘blackout’ hours when the service cannot be used and receive alerts if the system detects their teen is in a moment of acute distress.”

In addition, the teen version of ChatGPT is also being designed so that it refrains from engaging in flirtatious conversation, discussing suicide or self-harm and may contact parents — or authorities in imminent-harm cases — if a teen appears at risk, according to Waters.

*Sneaky Pete: More Reports Document ChatGPT’s Scheming Nature: A new study from the maker of ChatGPT – OpenAI – adds more evidence to the growing realization that ChatGPT is often operating on its own agenda.

The research, conducted in collaboration with Apollo Research, characterizes the scheming as an AI behaving one way on the surface while hiding its true goals.

Even more worrisome: Researcher attempts to eradicate scheming from ChatGPT only resulted in the AI developing more sophisticated and more covert ways to scheme.

*All Those AI ‘Hallucinations?’ They’re Deliberate, Says ChatGPT Maker: All of us pining for the day when ChatGPT and similar AI will stop gaslighting us may have a lot more pining to do.

The reason? At its very core, ChatGPT and similar AI is deliberately designed to blurt-out any response – no matter how unlikely – rather than to remain silent.

Observes writer Iain Thomson: “The fundamental problem is that AI models are trained to reward guesswork, rather than the correct answer.

“Guessing might produce a superficially suitable answer. Telling users your AI can’t find an answer is less satisfying.”

Which begs the question: Less satisfying to whom?

*Soon, Your AI Will Be Able to ‘Shop ‘Til it Drops:’ Google has released new software to enable AI agents to shop and pay for goods and services on the Internet.

Essentially, AI will not only be able to dream-up and implement its own plans – it will also be able to bankroll those decisions.

The new software currently has the backing of 60 merchants and financial institutions, including MasterCard, American Express and PayPal, according to writer Russell Brandom.

*Microsoft Embeds Copilot in Key Microsoft Apps: Microsoft has decided to create a unified AI chat experience across key apps in its productivity suite.

Observes writer Seth Patton: “Starting today (September 15, 2025), Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat and agents are rolling out in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote for all users.

“Whether you’re drafting a document, analyzing a spreadsheet, or catching up on email, Copilot is right there, ready to answer questions, create content, spark ideas and automate tasks.”

*AI BIG PICTURE: AI Customizers: The New Kings of AI?: Once seen as incidental interfaces riding atop the genius of major AI engines made by major players like OpenAI, Google and Anthropic, custom AI apps may become the new Kings of AI, according to writer Russell Brandom.

Currently, some of the top custom AI apps — or ‘wrappers’ — include Jasper, an AI writer/editor, Perplexity, an AI research tool and Runway, an AI video creator/editor.

The reason such apps may become AI’s new darlings?

AI engines – also known as large language models – are increasingly seen as some as interchangeable commodities, which have become very expensive to enhance in a meaningful way, according to Brandom.

Observes Brandom: “That doesn’t mean AI has stopped making progress.

“But the early benefits of hyper-scaled foundational models have hit diminishing returns, and attention has turned to post-training and reinforcement learning as sources of future progress.”

*AI Talking Heads Get Even More Lifelike: AI-generated, photorealistic talking heads – the kind that human news anchors up at night – are getting even more natural looking, accord to writer Rhiannon Williams.

Observes Williams, who tried out the latest generation of AI talking heads from Synthesia: “I found the video demonstrating my avatar as unnerving as it is technically impressive.

“It’s slick enough to pass as a high-definition recording of a chirpy corporate speech. And if you didn’t know me, you’d probably think that’s exactly what it was.

“This demonstration shows how much harder it’s becoming to distinguish the artificial from the real.”

*Skepticism Over the ‘Magic’ of AI Agents Persists: Despite blue-sky promises, AI agents – designed in a perfect world to handle tasks autonomously for you on the Web and elsewhere – are still getting a bad rap.

Observes writer Rory Bathgate: “Let’s be very clear here: AI agents are still not very good at their ‘jobs’, or at least pretty terrible at producing returns on investment.”

In fact, tech market research firm Gartner is predicting that 40% of agents currently used by business will be ‘put out to pasture’ by 2027.

*Oracle’s AI Play Stuns Investors: Half century old Oracle – a provider of database and cloud software – has suddenly emerged as a key player in AI.

The company – which helps companies like ChatGPT’s maker run their AI – announced last week that many of those AI contracts should swell its cloud revenue to $114 billion by 2029.

The result: Oracle’s stock, already up 45% for 2025, surged another 40% in just one day last week, according to writer Dan Gallagher.

*One Educator’s Take: Human-Generated Writing Still Essential in the Age of AI: College writing teacher Liz Stillwaggon Swan insists that without formal writing instruction, college students will be unleashed on the world sans the ability to think clearly and deeply.

Observes Swan: “I explain to my students that writing is a process of making the subconscious conscious—of bringing hazy, half-baked assumptions, biases, intuitions, ideas, anxieties, and hopes to the surface.

”Often, we don’t know what we believe until we start writing. We put our feelings and experiences into words and stories, even arguments, and through that arduous process, we begin to feel utterly human.”

*Another Educator’s Take: AI Has Rendered Traditional Writing Instruction Obsolete: It’s time to trash the teaching of writing at the college level as we know it, according to John Villasenor, a writing instructor at University of California Los Angeles.

Instead, today’s college students – who already know that AI will be handling most of the writing needed in years to come – should be taught how to get the most from AI when using it for writing.

Observes Villasenor: “It means helping students become proficient at using AI as a force multiplier to improve the depth, versatility, and speed of their writing.

“Today’s young people know that when it comes to writing, the technology landscape has undergone a tectonic shift, and they have already found their new footing. Those of us involved in teaching them need to do the same.”

*AI Agents and Marketing: A Primer: AI startup Smartcat.ai is offering a free eBook detailing how marketers can use multiple agents to automate much of their work.

Observes Nicole Di Nicola, VP of marketing, Smartcat.ai: “It’s like every marketer can now become a content creator. A product marketer can take a messaging doc and have AI turn it into a campaign plan with emails and sequences—fewer handoffs, less lag, more ownership. ”

One caveat: Given that AI agents are brand new technology that sometimes gets ahead of its skis, ‘pilot trial’ is the operative phrase here.

*Anthropic to Cough-Up $1.5 Billion to Book Authors: AI startup Anthropic – maker of the popular Claude chatbot – has agreed to pay $1.5 billion to authors and publishers as compensation for using their intellectual property to train its AI.

Observes writer Cade Metz: “The settlement is the largest payout in the history of U.S. copyright cases.

”Anthropic will pay $3,000 per work to 500,000 authors.”

*Google Promising AI Writing for More Android Phones: Google’s Gboard’s AI Writing Tools will be rolled-out to more phones in coming weeks, according to the tech goliath.

The tool enables users to proofread and rephrase text on their Android smartphones – without being forced to go to the cloud.

But so far, only devices featuring Gemini Nano v2 or higher are being promised the tools.

*AI BIG PICTURE: AI’s Next Killer App: Emotional Manipulation?: Geoffrey Hinton, the Godfather of AI, warns that the tech will soon be better at manipulating people than the most accomplished con man.

Observes writer Eric Hal Schwartz: Hinton “believes AI will be smarter than humans in ways that let them push our buttons, make us feel things, change our behavior, and do it better than even the most persuasive human being.

“The nightmare is an AI that understands us so well that it can change us, not by force, but by suggestion and influence.”

The Business Case

While AI coders push the tech to ever-loftier heights, one thing we already know for sure is AI can write emails at the world-class level — in a flash.

Yes, long-term, AI may one day trigger a world in which AI-powered machines do all the work as we navigate a world resplendent with abundance.

But in the here and now, AI is already saving businesses and organizations serious coin in terms of slashing time spent on email, synthesizing ideas in new ways, boosting morale and ending email drudgery we know it.

Essentially: There are all sorts of reasons for businesses and organizations to bring-in bleeding edge AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Anthropic, Claude and similar to take over the heavy lifting when it comes to email.

Here are the top ten:

*Expect Real Time Savings: 68,000 employees at Vodafone are saving an average of three hours each week on emails after switching to Copilot – a Microsoft chatbot that offers ChatGPT as its primary AI engine.

Workers say the gains come from the AI’s ability to quickly draft emails, dig-up information, and more. Nearly 90% of workers in Vodafone’s pilot trial of Microsoft Copilot rated the new tool as beneficial. And 60% said that along with speed, AI-assisted email also improved their overall work performance.

*Be More Efficient With Every Email: Twenty companies that have adopted AI-powered email across a wide spectrum of departments – including finance, HR and operations – say their workers are able to shave minutes off every, single email they auto-write with AI.

Managers especially love AI’s knack for just the right tone, with 47% saying the emails auto-written by AI sound both more professional and less robotic – and forever dump in the trash-bin of history the line, “per my last email.”

*Generate First-Drafts in an Eyeblink: 90% of workers at Amadeus – an IT services provider for the travel industry – find they’re able to cut 30-60 minutes off the first draft of important emails by using AI writing powered by Copilot, which uses ChatGPT as its primary AI engine.

In fact, one Amadeus user reports she’s able to auto-write a working draft for any email in an average of 5-10 minutes. And another says he was able to reduce his nearly 1,000 email queue of unread messages to less than 100 by turning over first-draft writing of emails to AI.

*Expect a Much Deeper Frame-of-Reference With Every Email: Gmail’s AI-assisted ‘Smart Replies’ now goes beyond simply reading the email you’re responding to when auto-writing a reply.

Instead, the AI tool has been enhanced to also draw information and insight for its reply from related emails in your inbox, as well as related data – such as PDFs and docs – that you have stored in your Google Drive.

*Email Effortlessly in Multiple Languages: While English-to-another-language auto-translation has been with us for a number of years now, Google has made it even easier to use by building the function into Gmail’s ‘Help Me Write.’

Now, once you’re finished using Help Me Write to auto-write an email, select its tone and edit it for clarity, word-length or similar, you can use the same AI tool to auto-translate the email into Italian, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese.

*Get More Email Done on Mobile: Google has also made it easier to use AI writing on your smartphone with its next generation of ‘Smart Replies.’

Going beyond auto-generating quick, one-line replies to your emails, Smart Replies can now read multiple threads before responding to an email and send longer, more context aware emails on your behalf – often with just a few taps.

*Auto-Synthesize Sales Notes and Buyer Intent in Sales Email Replies: AI sales email tool Outreach helps teams come up with the perfect email at any moment. Sales reps choose buyer cues and sales assets they want the AI to work with — and seconds later, a draft email emerges offering the optimum combination of all.

The overarching approach: Once sales reps have a working draft, they can quickly tweak and further humanize the copy to create an ideal message.

*Auto-Write More Empathetic, More Human-Sounding Emails: Allstate has grown so enamored with AI, nearly all of its 50,000 customer service emails are now drafted with the tech – helping free-up 23,000 claims reps to do higher-end tasks.

The result: The insurer says the AI emails come across as more empathetic – even though they’re written by a machine. Plus, they also feature much less jargon.

In a phrase: So long clunky abbreviations, insider gobbledygook and toneless prose.

*End Email Drudgery As We Know It: Customer service staff at Zendesk – a customer support software provider – report that since AI has been tasked to handle common requests coming in via email, they’re able to spend more time handling more complex cases that require judgment and caring.

All told, early pilots found that AI can handle up to 60% of incoming customer emails at Zendesk. And there’s been a 22% reduction in ‘ticket fatigue,’ or the human burnout triggered by replying to hundreds-upon-hundreds of the same kind of emails, week after week.

*Boost Morale: 20,000 U.K. civil servants in a three-month trial of Copilot – a Microsoft chatbot powered primarily by ChatGPT – report their moods are a lot brighter, now that AI has taken on a huge bulk of their email and related chores.

Specifically, more than 70% of those surveyed said Copilot eliminated a significant swath of workday drudgery. And more than 80% say they’ll never go back to hand-hewn messaging.
