Normally, when one big tech company takes center stage, some of its competitors actually sneak backstage and steal the thunder. That may have been the case this week as Microsoft rolled out a handful of useful AI updates at its Build conference. It was actually OpenAI that probably made a bigger splash with some pretty big money moves when it came to Codex and Chat GPT and specifically how they work with business accounts. Don't worry, we still have some other AI updates like if you're a Canva user, but even those kind of involve ChatGPT and Codex. And I know you don't have an extra five hours every single day to keep up with all of these new AI updates, but I do. And that's what Fridays are for as we bring you AI features on Fridays. So your one stop shop. If you just want to know what can I use today to help grow my company and my career, that's exactly what we do on this Friday show. So on today's show, you're going to learn the two big moves from OpenAI that could shut down some anthropic advantages. You're going to see how Microsoft is planning always on agents, and you're going to see how AWS actually got way more useful for AI users. All right, let's get into it. Welcome to Everyday AI. What's going on, y'? All? I'm Jordan and this is for you. This is your daily live stream podcast and free daily newsletter helping everyday business leaders like you and me keep up with the non stop AI updates. Yeah, there's dozens every week. I tell you what's important, what's bs. I show you how to use it and then you take the credit. You get to be the smartest person in AI and grow your company and career. So it starts here with the unedited, unscripted live stream podcast. But make sure you go to our website, your everyday AI.com. it's a cheat code on there. There's literally thousands of hours of free content. But make sure you go Dr. Your email in there so you can go keep up with the highlights from today's show as well as all the other AI news you need to know to stay ahead. All right, let's get straight to it. A ton of big updates this week. So generally it seems like five is kind of the, kind of the magic number in terms of how many updates we like to go over. This week and unfortunately there was a lot of really good ones that was kind of excited to talk about that didn't make the cut. I mean, Gemma 4, they have a new 12B model, Nemo Tron Ultra 3. ChatGPT got a new memory upgrade. You know, Windows users got codecs, computer use and mobile access. There's a new Microsoft Flash model. Right. So many of these things did not make our top seven, mainly because Microsoft had their build conference and announced a ton of new AI features you can use today and Chat GPT was shipping everything. We had quiet week from Anthropic, but I expect that to change probably next week. All right, let's start off with our first big AI update and that is making money moves. Yeah, the OpenAI brass got all dressed up and fancy and held a essentially, hey, enterprise leaders come and we're going to show you how good Codex is. And the way that they led with this is with plugins. So here's what's new. Now you have six role specific plugins for Codex. So there's a sales data, anal data analytics, product design, creative production, investment banking and public equity investing. So each bundle, each bundles role skills, app integrations, starter packs in workflow guidance. So collectively, so altogether they package 62 different apps together. So you know the big names like Snowflake, Figma, Salesforce, Databricks, Hex, Clay. Right. So the enterprise apps that people are using and then 110 automated skills. So if you don't know what a plugin is inside of Codex, rip old school plugins inside of GPT4, but essentially plugins inside of Codex, they package together apps so it can grab data from dynamic data from the apps that your team uses every day and then it stacks on type of its skills. So sometimes, you know, some of these plugins that they announced might take advantage of, you know, three different apps and three different skills and kind of bundle them all together. So here's who has access. It's live. So if you have a Team ChatGPT account, that means you have access to it. So obviously to use these because they're codecs, you will have to download Codex. So you know, if you are a ChatGPT enterprise organization or a ChatGPT business organization, well, any ChatGPT subscription means you have Codex as well. The usage is kind of shared between the two. So also if you're on a plus account or a pro account, you do have access to these as well. Also what's important to know because these are very powerful workspace admins control the underlying app permissions. So if you are on a large, larger organization, yeah, you're not going to be able to just go in there and start tinkering around with these things. You're going to have to get your workspace admin to turn them on. So here's why it's useful. Well, it turns Codex from a coding tool into a role aware work agent. So non developers can run sales prep dashboards, prototypes and financial research without even building from scratch. And this is pretty big because you know, essentially where these plugins got you. You know, for a power user like me, this isn't a huge step in function, Right. I'd say for everyone else this is an enormous step. So this is essentially what I was doing, right. I would, you know, go and grab, you know, two or three different apps that really worked in conjunction with each other. I would either write a very long prompt, I would dictate one, or I would use one or two saved skills that I already had. So that's kind of what how power users have been taking advantage of Codex and everyone's like losing their mind, you know, over the last like month because they're figuring out what I've been saying since February, like Codex is unfair. It's so far ahead of everything else. Now this helps you realize this by kind of giving you those starter packs out of the gate that package together these, you know, enterprise apps and skills. So who's going to find this valuable? I mean if you're a heavy chat GPT team, you. But also analysts, marketers, operators, product designers, researchers, investors, bankers. Right. Some of those, you know, roles that maybe three years ago these companies, these type of individuals or these type of enterprises weren't really touching generative AI. Right. Because three years ago, you know, models didn't even know two plus two. Right now they're winning IMO gold medals, right? The International Math Olympiad. So it's, it's going to be, I think a rush now as these, you know, financial sector, consultancy sectors are going to start ushering in both from, you know, Claude, which really popularized kind of the skills and, and now with Codex and what we got here with these plugins. So here is, I'll give you the Little Spiel from OpenAI what they said, they said make Codex work the way your team does. Codex is most powerful when it works the way your team does. Connected to the tools you use and ready to create the materials you need. Plugins help Codex work with tools, context and workflows your team already uses. Today we're launching six New role specific plugins that make Codex useful for more kinds of knowledge work, no coding required. And then they do say each role specific plugin bundles the relevant apps, skills, instructions and workflows. Together they include 62 popular apps and 110 skills. So then, yeah, they have the data analytics plugin, the Creative Production plugin, the Sales plugin, Product Design plugin, Public Equity Investing plugin, and the investment Banking plugin. All right, so make sure you check out today's newsletter. They do have some nice little demi demo videos showing those new plugins in action. All right, let's go next. So finally, even though this one is kind of not new, it is also kind of new. Let me explain what I mean. So next we have Microsoft's new image model, which looks really good. All right, so when they did announce this, it was like a top two or three model, it kind of got knocked down a couple of slots because there were some nice open source models that were released. Well, there were some open source ones and there were some, you know, closed source. Ideogram 4 came out as an example. So kind of got bumped down the rankings. But regardless, Microsoft is now essentially a top three company when it comes to AI image models. So here's why. It's kind of new, but also kind of not new. So you were able to use this previously on arena, but that was the only spot, right? So now for the first time, Microsoft is making it publicly available. So this is an upgraded in house Microsoft Image image generation model with a new Flash variant for developers that they announced at the build conference. Also FYI, I did do a whole rundown on the build conference, so I'm not going to go over this the Microsoft ones too much. So make sure you go listen to yesterday's episode. That's episode 791. All right, so this is their new model. Microsoft claims improvements in text rendering, stylized illustrations and commercial imagery Benchmark near the top of LM Arena Image rankings. So this is live, it is out. So it's already integrated, which I like that they're doing this into PowerPoint and it's currently rolling out to OneDrive as well. Developers can access it through Microsoft Foundry and then the Flash variant that developers use is there as well. So here's why it's useful. Well, it lets you generate and edit images directly inside of PowerPoint. So you kind of remove that round trip that you had to do before, you know of using something like Nano Banana, using like chat GBT images. Right. Or I think this opens up a whole new world of possibility. So if your organization is like, I don't know, like 80% of enterprises out there and locks down tools and pretty much you're using Microsoft Copilot only, right? Well, now you actually have a powerful frontier level image generator, right? So I have a couple examples here on my screen and I mean, they're really good, right? Again, I know a lot of people, and I talked about this yesterday, are knocking on Microsoft because they're not number one at anything, but I don't think they need to be. Right. I think they can be second or third best at like everything and still remain very relevant for decades to come, at least when it comes to the AI race. All right, let's go next. So next, this one is small, but I'm mentioning this one because I think the implications are big, especially for small business owners, marketers, etc. So here's what's new. Canva is now available as a plugin in Codex and there the Canva app in Chat GPT got a full design creation upgrade. So now you have editing creation in full screen Preview inside of ChatGPT. So we have the introduction of Canva into Codex and we have essentially a read and editing version of ChatGPT inside of Canva. So the old Canva app in ChatGPT left a lot to be desired. I had demoed it on the show multiple times. It didn't really work as advertised. The newer version a little bit better, right? So you actually have a much more true to interface, true to Canva editing and creation experience inside of Chat GPT. Right before, you know, the, the preview thumbnail didn't always work. You couldn't flip through the pages. You really couldn't do a whole lot of normal Canva editing. Now you can. So developers also can build around this with the Canva MCP server, which is updated as well. So here's who has access. So if you have the Canva app in Chat GPT, well now you have full design capabilities. So it's rolling out now to Chat GPT users on the free plus in Pro plans, not counting the, not counting the eu. And then the Canva plugin in Codex is available to all Codex users via the plugin directory. All right, so here's why it's useful. It's. Well now the design layer travels with the work, right? That's huge. You know, it cuts down on the copying and pasting, but also just how Codex and ChatGPT can carry context right throughout the course of a conversation. So let's say that you're you know, updating, you know, your KPIs, you update them monthly, right? And you're going back and forth in Chat GPT or Codex, grabbing all this information from your other dynamic data sources that at the end, well, you can just say put this into a one pager on Canva and it's going to build it right there in the app and you can iterate with it. So instead of having to go through and be like, oh my gosh, now I have to, you know, summarize and start pulling out bullet points through all this. That's the great thing about the agentic, right? Ready for. If you didn't go listen to this, if you didn't listen to this one, make sure you go listen to our agentic. I'm actually going to look it up here. So that's our agentic context carry episode in the Start here series. What one was that? That was episode 762. 762. Go listen to that. If you want to understand Agentic context carry. But that's what makes this new editing functionality inside ChatGPT within Codex, or sorry, Canva, inside of ChatGPT and Codex really powerful. So here's what Canva says. It says the new plugin for Codex complements the much loved canva app in ChatGPT which unlocks design creation and editing from inside the chat. That means you can generate context aware designs, translate assets, edit text and more, all Simply by asking ChatGPT enter a prompt, any new Canva design will appear ready to go. The canva app in ChatGPT Delivers the visual experience in an AI chat. Delivers the most visual experience in an AI chat yet, featuring full screen design preview directly within the main interface. For the first time, you can kickstart designs based on your chat, refine them and take them into Canva without losing creative momentum. And I think the last sentence there, that's the whole crux of this, right? Without losing the creative momentum. Which is funny to say, right? Because that's Canva implying that, oh well, for the creative momentum you can just do it inside Chat GPT, right? I've been talking about this now for a year, right? Way before the headless, you know, movement. I think it, it was actually around some of these more, you know, visual interfaces. When Chad GPT introduced apps in 20 live, you know, I said they're bringing in interfaces, right? So the normal interfacing that you would do with a website, you can now do a lot of those basic things within Chat GPT, right? Using actual features and functions, using the the, the GUI of, you know, some of these pieces of software and apps that you would use on an ongoing basis. It's now all there for you. All right, let's keep going more Microsoft, we have a new GitHub Copilot app. Yes, Microsoft, GitHub is in on the super app game. This is the precursor to the true Copilot super app. But right now this is the new standalone desktop app released at Build that acts as an agent native command center for managing AI agents outside of the ide. So inside the new app there's a new My work view that shows active sessions, issues, pull requests and background automations across connected repos. And each session holds its own isolated git work tree for parallel agents. So this new update also adds a canvas, so a space to make agent work visible and verifiable. So this is something, you know, at the Build conference, that new canvas element inside GitHub Copilot was actually I think one of the highlights of the entire two and a half hour keynote. Right? I think that was one of the features that got a lot of oohs and ah from the crowd. So you know, pretty cool to see that within the desktop element. So you know, to, to summarize this, right? So for our, our audience, if you haven't seen it, this is for all intent and purposes it looks codes Codex esque, right? I'm not going to say it looks as Codex as Gemini's Anti Gravity 2.0 app, which looks like a clone, but it does kind of just look like codecs, which I'm guessing this just means that's kind of the future, right? In interface that looks much like the Codex interface, right? So you have your work trees, you have your chats on the left hand side, you have your project folders, you have your automations on the upper left, right. Your settings on the lower left. So if you've got used Codex or if maybe you use Codex personally, but you can't use it at work. Well, I think the GitHub copilot app could be a great option for you because you know, some of the same capabilities obviously. You know, actually an advantage to GitHub Copilot is you can use a variety of models. So you can use Microsoft's new models which are, you know, top 10ish, give or take, right. But you can also use OpenAI models and anthropic models. So there's actually some cool advantages there. Like, like I said that and the new Canvas feature, pretty cool. So here's who has access, right? Now. So it's in preview but it is open to a lot of customers. So also if you have existing GitHub Copilot Pro Pro Plus Max business or enterprise customers, then you are in. So you just have to make sure to download this for Windows 11 or there's a Mac version and a Linux version as well. Actually I spent a disproportionate amount of my time at Microsoft Build kind of watching some of these GitHub copilot demos, talking to some of the team building the product. So looks very good, right? The new updated version. So here is what Microsoft says they says they say today we're introducing canvases. That's the canvas part. Let me read the whole part. Here we go. So they say.
C
AI moves too fast to follow, but
B
you're expected to keep up.
C
Otherwise your career or company might lag behind while AI native competitors leap ahead. But you don't have 10 hours a day to understand it all. That's what I do for you. But after 700 plus episodes of everyday AI, the most common questions I get
B
is where do I start?
C
That's why we created the Start Here series, an ongoing podcast series of more than a dozen episodes you can listen to in order. It covers the AI basics for beginners and sharpens the skills of AI champions pushing their companies forward. In the ongoing series, we explain complex trends in simple language that you can turn into action. There's three ways to jump in. Number one, go scroll back to the first one in episode 691. Number two, tap the link in your show notes at any time for the Start Here series. Or you can just go to start here series.com which also gives you free access to our inner circle community where you can connect with other business leaders doing the same. The Start Here series will slow down the pace of AI so you can get ahead.
B
Where? Where did it go? Where did it go? There we go. All right. You start the day with three pieces of work already in motion. One agent is investigating a production bug. Another is implementing a back backlog issue. A third is working through a review feedback on a pull request. Each is running its own isolated environment, producing changes you can inspect, redirect, test and manage. You need an environment that can keep up. The new GitHub Copilot app is the Agent native desktop experience built on GitHub. From a single My Work view, you can see work motion across connected repos, active sessions, issues, pull requests and background automations. The Copilot app is now available in Technical preview for existing copilot plus, sorry Copilot Pro Pro plus Business and enterprise users. Yeah. So the positives, it looks really good, really clean new features. People are loving that aspect. The downside, people are absolutely hating, hating the new GitHub usage. All right, so it's been a little bit of an uproar online, right. Essentially all the big companies except OpenAI are starting to subsidize tokens way less or kind of stopping to subsidize one via subscriptions. Right. There's been this, I wouldn't even say it's an elephant in the room. It's become an expectation, right, that within your subscription you know, you're usually getting 10 to 50x in terms of actual token usage. What you would be getting then if you paid, you know, a la card via the API. So a lot of the companies that started with Anthropic, Anthropic's always been the stingiest. Google, after their I O conference two weeks ago, they started to implement pretty strict usage limits on their 20amonth plans. And the same thing with the GitHub plans, people are actually pretty upset about it online. So it'll be interesting to see what Microsoft does about that. That. All right, let's keep moving. We have three more big ones. This one probably the biggest headline grabber. We'll see if this turns out to be anything of substance in the long run. But Microsoft announced their autopilot so this is a kind of a new breed of co pilot. So they announced this at build and it's their always on autonomous work agent built on OpenClaw and the new work IQ with its own Govern intra identity. So you can do the whole observability and trust, you know, thing with your agents. And the cool thing is the autopilots can run across teams, Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint and local device actions proactively handling meeting prep scheduling conflicts in routine tasks without being asked each time. So the first one that Microsoft introduced is called Scout. So Microsoft said we are also introducing Microsoft Scout, our first autopilot agent. So Autopilot is the category in Scout is the first one that is available. So it says Microsoft Scout is integrated across the Microsoft 365 apps you use every day, keeping it grounded in your flow of work. It operates across cloud, desktop and web connected to Teams, Outlook, OneDrive and SharePoint and to the data that powers your day including chats, email, calendar and contacts. You interact, you interact with it in teams and extends its reach through the desktop app to your browser local files in model context protocol Servers. All right, so here's who has access. So it is being rolled out now to Frontier customers. I do see some people have it, but it looks like a slower rollout. And it is tied to Microsoft's Enterprise Agent stack. So here's why it's useful. Well, it shifts agents from kind of just being asked and wait to being proactive. Right. So it'll watch your different work surfaces and then acts on routines on, on routine items that you can then check its work on. The other good thing, well, there's the governed Intra id, which means that it can manage and audit it like any other corporate identity. Right. So this isn't, you know, Scout is not something that's going to be, you know, accidentally, you know, deleting your CRM and, you know, emailing customers new prices. Right. Because it's governed and there's the intra ID that you can go back and check all of its traces just like you could a normal employee. All right, two more big ones. First, a lot more companies are gonna start using chatgpt. This is one. I wasn't even gonna mention it, but I noticed that it got like no media play. So you probably don't know this. So that's why, unless you're reading our daily newsletter, because it's a big deal and we did feature in our AI News, but I think people are overlooking what this means not just for OpenAI and ChatGPT, but the overall landscape. So this is new. AWS is now supporting OpenAI's models inside of Amazon Bedrock. So that includes OpenAI's GPT 45455 and the Codex coding agents are all generally available on Amazon Bedrock. So that's big. The GPT models are called via the response API on Bedrock's inference engine. And Codex runs through the Codex app, the command line Interface and the IDE integrations in VS code, JetBrains, Xcode etc with inference routed through Bedrock. So this is big because right now any AWS customer can now be using the GPT models. So this is if you're an AWS customer in for whatever reason, which I think is what a lot of companies are, they're coming to their token reckoning. Right. It's actually one of the more interesting conversations I heard a lot out at Microsoft Build. You know, people were talking about using small language models to cut back on your Claude subscriptions. Right. Use this new, you know, Microsoft model to cut back your Claude, you know, API bill. Right. I, I, I think that there's a, a, there's been a whiplash to anthropic models. I have a lot of takes on that. One of them is the, they're the most token inefficient models on the market. You know, they have to use more tokens than anyone else to get the same level of intelligence. Also the downtime they run in loops. So anthropic models, although good on the surface, they are grossly expensive for what you actually get in terms of intelligence. So I know a lot of big enterprises on AWS are going to like this because at Least right now, OpenAI's models are much more token efficient. And when you look at model to model, it's pretty much a coin flip, but you know, depending on what index you look at. But third party indexes show that OpenAI, their GPT5.5 high gets the same level of intelligence for about 30ish percent, 30 to 50% cheaper than the Opus 4.8. So pretty big news there. And here's why it's useful. Well, it lets Enterprises run Frontier OpenAI models inside their existing AWS. Security, governance, procurement and billing. So removes a major barrier to production deployment. Yeah, I mean, I remember talking to companies a year ago, 18 months ago, you know, talking about this. Right? Because you know, it started with, you know, obviously having access to Microsoft's models or sorry, not Microsoft's models, Amazon's models. Right, Which I don't think a lot of people like. Then they got anthropics models and I think people were happy. And you know, well, once you start using other models, you know, if you're upgrading from the AWS models models to anthropic models and you like that, but you're like, man, this is a lot of money. Well, now you have a good option. All right, let's move on to our last one and this one. You probably missed it. You probably missed it. I didn't. I've been loving this. So Codex Sites. All right, before we get into the details, let me just say this. I think this could be the future. You're right. Maybe not codec Sites, maybe this concept of how teams communicate together in an AI native workspace. All right, it's that big. Potentially, if it works, right? This is one of those things. If OpenAI keeps developing it, I mean, we'll see. You know, luckily they've continued develop to develop workspace agents, but some projects, you know, get one or two updates and then they kind of get abandoned. So I really hope Sites is something that sticks around because I think in terms of a first version of something that has the potential to really change how we work, this has to be a top five release from OpenAI ever in terms of going from zero to enterprise potential. This one's big. So Sites Codex Sites is a new feature that builds, deploys and hosts interactive web apps from just standard prompts returning a shareable URL. So this handles dashboards, project trackers, internal tools, knowledge bases, even games as full stack, JavaScript, TypeScript apps. So it includes a sign in with ChatGPT access and workspace, internal data and file storage. So this is right now in preview, but it is enabled by default for ChatGPT business workspaces in ChatGPT enterprise teams. So right now to get access, you can you look in your code app, Codex app sidebar and then click the at button and then, well, first you'll have to install it and then you're going to see the Sites plugin. So this is hugely useful. So this is essentially lovable for your team, right? If you've heard of the lovables and the bolt new right replit, all of these big kind of companies that are, you know, kind of like Full Stack apps. That's what this is. So this collapses the whole like describe an app, get a hosted shareable app into one step, but it makes it instantly shareable and secure across your team. So the fact that now you can all of your enterprise data, you can connect to it dynamically, you can use the new Sites plugin, spin up an app, share that with your team, it is secure enterprise, you know, enterprise security and it's instantly updated and shareable, right? So this was a big thing that was, I think, a big gap in the market. As an example, I used to love ChatGPT Canvas. But you guys notice when I do these things where I spend a lot of time and I build these nice tools and directories for you guys, I generally would share them in Gemini Canvas. That's because with Chad GPT Canvas it was kind of harder to share those things. So number one, this makes it a little bit easier. But number two, this is dynamically updated within your organization. So as you get fresh data rolling in, just like a database, it's going to update, right? So the app is going to update as your data updates and then you can obviously iterate this on this or work on this with your team. So so it keeps the internal tools behind Workspace Workplace auth so teams can share these apps without exposing data publicly. And this inherits whatever ChatGPT or enterprise security settings that you have. All right, so no training on your data by Default if you're a business or enterprise company. And so here's, I think, who's going to find it valuable? So, I mean, operators and team leaders who need a quick internal dashboard or tracker without pulling in engineering. So, you know, if, if you've had something and you're like, o, we can vibe code this. But you're like, yeah, it's, we need a little bit more security. How are we going to share this? How are we going to keep it updated? You know, what about from a database perspective? Well, this kind of answers a lot of those questions, so it'll be interesting to see how the market reacts to this. Right. I'm looking at, you know, the smaller project management tools. Right. Are they going to start to get used less? Right. Especially when. And the original data connectors are headlessly available within Codex and ChatGPT. Right. So this just kind of connects. And this is, for me, I'm so excited about this one because this is one of the big things I was using Claude code for, I was using Codex for. Right. Essentially just building myself these interactive dashboards. But now it's, well, it's a plugin that's built by the experts at OpenAI. So pretty big. Here's what OpenAI said about it. They said sites are a new kind of canvas for your ideas. Codex can take your ideas, analysis and plans and turn them into dashboards. Planners review workspaces, project boards, galleries and lightweight tools. Today, sites can be shared with anyone in your workspace via URL, giving teams a shared place to explore work, work, contribute, input, track progress and make decisions together. Then they say at the bottom, instead of adapting work to the limits of a single tool or file, teams can create sites that fit the work. Insights aren't static. They can also help track progress for a major product, help guide customer service reps, or act as a repository for your team's creative briefs. So, yeah, make sure you check out today's newsletter and I'll send you the link. So you can kind of check out some of these demos that they did. Did really cool. All right, so that is a wrap for our Friday features, A quick rundown of seven AI tools you can use today. Yes, all of these things I talked about, they're live, they're not coming later. These aren't just random news pieces. Right. On Monday, we go over the AI news so you can understand, you know, kind of what's happened, what's happening in the business world, what's happening, happening on the politics side, the drama of the big companies, the rumors, right? But on Fridays we put AI to work for you by showing you all the new AI features that you can use today. I hope this was helpful. So helpful. If so, tell someone about it. All right?
