ChatGPT Atlas: The AI-native browser that works with you

Step 1 – Set up ChatGPT Atlas

Atlas works like your regular browser, but you’ll first need to connect it to your ChatGPT account and turn on Agent Mode. This gives it the ability to browse the web, collect information, and organize it for you.

Here’s how:

• Download ​ChatGPT Atlas​ (currently available for macOS).
• Sign in using the same email as your ChatGPT account.
• In the top-right corner, toggle Agent Mode (Preview) on. This unlocks multi-step actions like data gathering and file creation.

Then paste this prompt into the sidebar:“Browse LinkedIn to find the top 10 creators in AI and social impact over the last 30–60 days, list them with name, URL, followers, niche, and posting style, then collect their top-performing posts (topic, format, summary, why it worked) and create a Google Sheet with 2 tabs — Top Creators and Insights Hub. The Insights Hub should include top posts, patterns, gaps, and a 4-week content plan.”

When you first launch the Agent, it’ll ask a few questions about privacy settings. You’ll then need to log in to your LinkedIn and Google accounts to give it access. Once you hit Enter, your Agent starts exploring LinkedIn on its own.

Step 2 – Let the Agent do the heavy lifting

Once the prompt is in, Agent takes over. It acts like an analyst who browses, extracts, and organizes, all while you focus on higher-level thinking.

Actions:

• Agent will search on the web for the top 10 creators in AI and social impact.
• It will visit each creator’s profile on LinkedIn and identify their best-performing posts by engagement. You’ll have to take control and sign in to your LinkedIn account at this stage.
• It will create a Google Sheet with two tabs:
  • Top Creators – names, niches, and style notes.
  • Insights Hub – a database of top post topics, summaries, why it worked, content patterns, gaps, and a content plan for you for the next 4 weeks.

You’ll see in real time how it works, screen creators’ posts, and build the sheet.

Step 3 – Refine with real-time feedback

The magic of having the ChatGPT Agent right in your browser sidebar is how collaborative it feels. You can correct, guide, or reshape its work as it happens.

Actions:

• Review the Google Sheet as it’s being built.
• Give direct feedback such as:
  • “This doesn’t seem right, please try again.”
  • “Let’s put these columns in a separate tab.”

Atlas will instantly edit and reformat based on your messages without rewriting prompts from scratch.

Step 4 – Enhance your content

With the foundation built, now comes the creative payoff, which is transforming analysis into action.

You can:

• Ask Agent to generate draft captions for each content idea inspired by top-performing posts.
• Refine the tone and voice so the writing feels more aligned with your style and expectations.
• Request content pillars based on observed patterns.
• Create a visual brief for each content idea.
• It can even help you repurpose ideas into carousels, thought pieces, or discussion prompts.

Step 5 – Experiment and scale your workflow

Once you see how smoothly ChatGPT in Atlas manages research and planning, you can expand the workflow.

Ideas to try next:

• “Research the top AI products launched this quarter and categorize them by business use case.”
• “Track competitors’ messaging across their websites and social channels to identify positioning gaps.”
• “Analyze trending topics across TechCrunch, The Verge, and X to inform our next thought-leadership angle.”
• “Build a reading dashboard that summarizes industry news, reports, and funding updates in one place.”
• “Compare my own LinkedIn profile to these top creators and identify improvement areas.”
• “Turn the 4-week plan into a publishing calendar with dates and formats.”
• “Summarize engagement patterns into a one-pager for my team.”
• “Set up a recurring weekly task to refresh the dataset.”

You’ll end up with a self-updating system that learns from the best and keeps your content strategy sharp, relevant, and informed.

Google’s Veo 3.1 updates in Flow

Google announced an update to its generative video ecosystem: the release of the Veo 3.1 model and new creative tools inside its filmmaking platform Flow. Here are the key takeaways for senior executives and strategic decision-makers:

• Richer audio + enhanced realism: Veo 3.1 brings audio generation that’s synchronized with video, such as dialogue, ambient sound, SFX, and tighter fidelity in visuals and narrative control.
• More granular creative control: Inside Flow, you get features like:
  • “Ingredients to Video” (plug multiple reference images to direct characters, objects, and style)
  • “Frames to Video” (specify a start and end image and let the model generate the transition)
  • “Extend” or “Scene Extension” (take the last second of a clip and generate additional time/seamless continuation)
• Insert & Remove Objects: Flow allows for editing of generated videos by adding new elements (“Insert”) or removing undesired ones (“Remove”) with reconstructed background/lighting handling.

Veo 3.1 is accessible both via the consumer app and through the Gemini API and Vertex AI for developers/enterprises.

Anthropic’s lightweight model Claude Haiku 4.5

Anthropic has released its latest lightweight model, Claude Haiku 4.5, which delivers performance comparable to its larger Sonnet 4 model at roughly one-third the cost and more than twice the speed.

Designed for high-throughput scenarios, Haiku 4.5 can be spun up in parallel, making it ideal for large-scale deployments in workflows like code generation, document synthesis, and long-context tasks.

Anthropic introduces “Skills” for Claude to tailor enterprise workflows

Anthropic is launching a new modular feature called “Skills” that allows developers and business teams to package instructions, scripts, and resources into self-contained bundles that the Claude agent will load when appropriate.

This makes Claude far more applicable in enterprise settings, whether automating spreadsheets, enforcing brand guidelines, or embedding domain-specific logic, without needing to retrain the core model.

Google Gemini in Gmail: “Help me schedule” makes meeting scheduling easy

Gmail has added a new Gemini-powered feature, “Help me schedule,” which automatically detects when you’re setting up a meeting in an email, suggests available time slots based on your Google Calendar and the email’s context, and inserts them into the message for the recipient to pick from.

Once the recipient chooses a slot, the invite is created for both parties with no back-and-forth.
