Alright, we've got a new ChatGPT model to play with. It's called GPT-6 Astra. I know, another model name to remember! But this one does look like a pretty big step forward. The interesting bit isn't all the benchmark scores. It's that Astra is meant to be much better at actually getting on with a job, rather than just telling you how to do it. OpenAI says it can handle multi-step tasks across browsers and everyday business tools. That includes online research, filling in forms, updating records, organising a calendar, and creating documents, spreadsheets, presentations and websites. What it can do will depend on which ChatGPT tools you have access to, of course. It should also be better at knowing when to make a sensible assumption and when it genuinely needs to ask you something. Hopefully that means less babysitting, without it charging off like an unsupervised intern with admin access. One important thing to know is that ordinary ChatGPT customers can't use it just yet. Right now, access is limited to approved organisations that apply for it. OpenAI says Astra should start rolling out to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise users over the next few days. So don't waste half an hour hunting through your settings or repeatedly refreshing the model picker. It isn't hiding from you. We just need to wait for the wider rollout. When it arrives, let's give it something more interesting than a trivia question. Give it a real job, the information it needs, and a clear idea of what "done" looks like. Then come back and tell us how it got on. What are you going to try first? Official announcement: https://openai.com/index/gpt-6-astra/

A daily AI news brief can be useful, but only if it saves you from another inbox-shaped rabbit hole. Pick one topic your customers or audience actually care about. Then ask ChatGPT to find the latest credible news, articles and videos from the last 24 hours. Have it return the headline, date, source, direct link, a short summary, why it matters to your audience, and three possible content angles. Try this prompt: "Search the web for the most important new developments about [TOPIC] from the last 24 hours. Prioritise primary sources and credible reporting. Give me a table with the headline, publication date, source, direct link, two-sentence summary, why it matters to [AUDIENCE], and three useful video or post angles. Flag anything uncertain or based on secondary reporting. If nothing material has changed, say so. Do not invent sources." If you use ChatGPT's recurring task features, you could run that prompt as a daily brief. Otherwise, keep it as a quick morning routine in a normal chat. The important part is what happens next. Open the links, decide whether there is a real angle, then make one useful piece of content. You do not need to cover every update. You need to notice the few that are worth your audience's time. What topic would you most like a daily brief to keep an eye on?

We’ve just had a pretty big update drop with ChatGPT Image 2… and it’s seriously impressive. I’ve been testing it over the last day, and the quality of the images it’s producing is on another level compared to what we’ve seen before. The detail, lighting, realism, and consistency are all noticeably better - no more gibberish text too! What stood out most for me: - Much more realistic faces and expressions - Better text handling inside images (still not perfect, but a big step forward) - More consistent styles across multiple images - Stronger understanding of prompts without needing loads of tweaking I’ve attached a bunch of examples to this post so you can see exactly what it’s capable of 👇 If you’re creating content, ads, thumbnails, product visuals, or even just experimenting… this is definitely worth spending some time with. 🤩 Curious to hear what you all think once you’ve tried it. Have you managed to get anything particularly good out of it yet that's going to be useful to your business? Cheers Jason 🙌

ChatGPT quietly rolled out a new Health mode the other day, and it’s actually a meaningful addition rather than just a label change. The idea is simple: when you’re asking questions about health, symptoms, fitness, sleep, nutrition, or general wellbeing, ChatGPT now switches into a mode that’s more careful, more structured, and clearer about uncertainty and next steps. I get my blood tested every year and checked for everything and then I upload the results into ChatGPT for its feedback but now I can just keep it permanently uploaded in the ChatGPT health section for future questions etc. I also linked up my Apple Watch data to ChatGPT health so it has more health data on me to work from. At this point I think ChatGPT probably knows me better than my wife 😄 What I’ve noticed so far: - The answers are calmer and more balanced - It avoids jumping to conclusions or worst-case scenarios - It’s much better at explaining what’s normal vs what might be worth checking - It’s clearly designed to support thinking, not replace a professional This isn’t about diagnosis or medical advice. It’s about helping people understand what they’re experiencing, ask better questions, and make more informed decisions. If you’ve already used ChatGPT for things like: - training plans - recovery, sleep, or nutrition - understanding symptoms before a GP visit - general health education you’ll probably notice the difference straight away. Has anyone here tried it yet? Cheers Jason

I’ve been testing ChatGPT’s new version of images and it’s fantastic for creating eye catching thumbnails. It's also really good for social media posts etc too. I’ve attached an example below so you can see what it can do. Let me know what you think! #ChatGPT #AIArt 😊
