🧠 Claude Remembers You, 🛍️ ChatGPT Shops for You, 🗓️ Aviva Plans for You

AI Quick Takes ⚡

1. Claude Just Got a Memory (and It’s Not Forgetting Your Deadlines) 🧠

Anthropic rolled out Memory to all paid Claude users, finally catching up to ChatGPT. Claude can now remember your past chats, preferences, and ongoing projects if you turn it on. It even keeps separate memories for different projects (bless), and you can view, edit, or delete anything anytime. Read More

Why it matters: No more re-explaining your job, your tone, or your goals in every convo. Want to keep things private? Use incognito chat for one-offs that don’t get saved.

2. OpenAI Launched a Whole AI Browser: Meet ChatGPT Atlas 💻

Move over, Chrome. OpenAI dropped Atlas, a new browser built around ChatGPT, and it’s designed to be your smarter surfing sidekick. Read More

What it does:

• Summarizes, compares, and analyzes whatever site you're on, no copy-pasting required

• Edits highlighted text (think: “make this sound more professional” in your emails)

• Agent Mode (preview only) can tackle tasks start to finish, like planning a trip

• “Browser memories” let ChatGPT remember insights from your web sessions

Why it matters: It’s OpenAI’s boldest move yet into your digital daily life. If it delivers on automation and smart recall, Atlas could change how we research, shop, and write online.

3. Google’s AI Studio Got A Major Upgrade 🛠️

Coding? Optional. Creativity? Encouraged. Google’s new vibe coding feature turns plain prompts into working AI apps…no API juggling, no sweat. Read More

What’s new:

• Type what you want, and watch it build, like magic, minus the wand

• An “I’m Feeling Lucky” button for those “I have no idea what to make” moments

• Smoother app gallery and API key setup (finally)

Meanwhile: French startup Mistral dropped its own AI Studio for enterprise teams who prefer open-source control with less Big Tech baggage.

Why it matters: Whether you’re sketching out your next side hustle or just playing around, these tools make building with AI way more accessible, even if your coding skills peaked in Tumblr theme days.

4. UMG x Udio: From Cease-and-Desist to “Let’s Build Together” 🎧

Universal Music Group just settled its copyright beef with AI music startup Udio, and instead of fighting it out in court, they’re teaming up. The plan? A licensed AI music platform dropping in 2026, trained only on music that’s been cleared and approved. UMG artists will be able to opt in, and Udio’s current tool will keep humming along in a “walled garden,” now with fingerprinting and filtering to keep things above board. Read More

Bottom line: From lawsuit to licensing deal in under 18 months…Hollywood could never. This might be the new playbook: if you can’t beat AI, regulate it, license it, and get paid.

5. Hackers Use AI to Ramp Up Cyber Attacks 🤖

Anthropic’s AI model, Claude, was used by state-backed actors in China to deploy 30+ automated cyber attacks against corporations and governments in September. Claude handled up to 80‑90% of the work in these attacks… so basically, the hacker sat back and said “Go ahead, Claude” and the model ran with minimal human supervision. Read More

Anthropic said the US government wasn’t among the compromised targets, but this is part of a growing trend: more hackers are using large language models to automate parts of their attacks. Whether you’re using AI for work or personal reasons, make sure you’re not entrusting it with sensitive data without understanding the risks it poses.

Community Member Spotlight 🌟 

Meet Amy Briggs, Founder of Aviva 🗓️ 

We love when we have an opportunity to highlight our smart, creative community members using AI to solve real problems and reimagine what’s possible. Meet Amy Briggs, the founder who turned “mom calendar chaos” into a sleek, AI-powered app.

Amy just launched Aviva, a calendar assistant built for busy parents who are over the mental gymnastics of managing family logistics. Aviva connects to your Gmail and Google Calendar, scans for upcoming events (like that school recital you forgot was this Thursday), auto-schedules them, flags conflicts, and keeps everyone on track.

💬 Want us to spotlight you next time? Submit your project, app, or side‑hustle, we’d love to help you show it off.

Test‑drive ChatGPT’s new shopping skills 🛍️ 

We just tried shopping for Glossier on ChatGPT… and wow, it’s giving “Add to cart” a whole new meaning. Thanks to a new OpenAI x Shopify integration, ChatGPT can now recommend products and let you check out, without ever leaving the chat.

OpenAI is compressing shopping intent and action into one sleek step. If this sticks, we’re looking at a major shift in ecommerce.

Your move:
Ask ChatGPT for product recs from Glossier and watch the future of checkout unfold.

Resource Roundup 🛠️

Your AI Roadmap, Unlocked 🔐 

Last time, we dropped The AI Spectrum and you asked for more, so we’ve rolled it up into a full AI Transformation Guide. Think of it as your strategic playbook for leveling up from “we should use AI” to actually making it work across your org.

What you’ll get:

• A framework to match tools to team readiness (because Sales ≠ Engineering)

• A 7-pillar transformation framework covering strategy, data, platforms, and change management

• A Use Case Matrix to help you find and prioritize quick wins (bye, analysis paralysis)

Why we love it: It’s the rare enterprise guide that’s strategic and practical, like a McKinsey deck, without the $$$.
