OpenAI launched Businesses in ChatGPT, a beta hub where eligible companies can claim free verified profiles, manage their business information, and track how often ChatGPT mentions their brands.

Eligible U.S. retailers and digital service companies can create custom AI agents using their own instructions and product details. Brands can also direct shoppers to these agents through paid ChatGPT ads.

The dashboard tracks website clicks and discovery topics, helping brands spot gaps in their visibility. Companies once obsessed over Google rankings may now have another platform to worry about.

Anthropic introduced Claude Sheets and Whiteboards in beta, letting teams generate spreadsheets with formulas and collaborate on shared planning boards. Users can also export their AI-generated spreadsheets directly to Excel.

The company also made Claude Data generally available for narrated analytics, announced a Google Meet beta for Claude Meetings, and expanded integrations to bring apps like Adobe directly into Claude.

With spreadsheets, dashboards, meetings, and third-party apps now inside Claude, Anthropic keeps giving workers fewer reasons to switch tabs. The chatbot is starting to look a lot like an office suite.

Meta’s Muse agent lost access to eBay listings last weekend after weeks of building a reader’s daily watch digest, The Verge reported. The outlet recreated the block, though eBay hasn’t confirmed any new limits.

eBay cites concerns about unauthorized data scraping and says it chooses carefully who gets access. It already bans buy-for-me agents from placing orders, and runs its own Shopping Agent for 3% of US app users.

Amazon already blocks outside agents entirely, and Target allows only some. AI shopping agents promise to browse every store for you, but right now they only get to browse the stores that let them in.

X launched a native clipping tool that lets users trim any video on the platform, add commentary, and repost it. Every clip carries a “Clip from” label linking back to the original video.

Influencers and brands already pay outside firms to clip and spread their videos. X wants that activity on its own turf, so both creators and clippers can earn from clip views through Original Content Rewards.

In August, X overhauled payouts to stop rewarding accounts that repost others’ content. Three months later, it shipped a tool that can pay people to repost others’ content, as long as they credit the original.

The AI Futures Project, behind the influential AI 2027 report, now predicts AI could match top human AI researchers in 2027, reversing earlier forecasts that pushed the milestone into the 2030s.

The shift follows METR's analysis estimating Anthropic's AI-assisted research progress has roughly doubled in speed, a pace the forecasters' previous models assigned less than a 4% chance of reaching this early.

Former OpenAI researcher Daniel Kokotajlo gives the milestone a 50% chance by May 2027, with five colleagues predicting later dates that year. Even the forecasters seem surprised by how quickly things are moving.

A) Yes - 79% 🏆

B) No - 21%
