just have your @grok @bot read the change log and suggest personalized ways you can use the new features:
it’s wild to see how @grok @bot has gotten way more efficient and faster the past 2 weeks
I was worried this was going to be another new product that will eventually become abandonware
Now it’s clear @poteto @ericzakariasson & team are locked in and making this the one assistant app to rule them all 🏆

my @ChatGPT Dot took 5 rings to answer me
my @grok @bot answered in about .5 seconds, no fake phone UI or ringing
this is a terrible UX @thsottiaux , no one wants to pretend we are on more phone calls in 2026

if you tried hyperframes, you would know
the agentic video stack is being built on code-gen
but SWE-bench code v.s. code-to-video that feels alive are two different things
we built the Code2Video Bench, in collab w/ Google DeepMind & @Kaggle

a year ago, we thought copy + pasting text was amazing from AI
now, i wake up to emails from my coding agent that set up a landing page to include a meeting link, then tested it out by booking me with it, then cancelled them so they don't stay on the calendar

use the in-app browser in @ChatGPT for 1 week, you'll use Chrome 90% less
this is @OpenAIDevs Codex + @linear in app browser side-by-side
i don't want your agent in my browser via an extension, i want my browser in your agent

for those using @typesafeai Jev to filter emails, here's a great use-case:
when the signed named doesn't match the inbox name= SPAM
this makes no sense to compare to Fable 5.1 Max and GPT 5.6 Sol Max
where is the GPT 6 Astra comparison?
Grok 4.7 is here.
It's a notable improvement over Grok 4.6 at the same price and speed.

the only way to make Siri useful:
Settings -> Apple Intelligence & Siri -> Extension -> @ChatGPT
when these talk to @Muse … wow, they will go from novelty to best application of consumer AI over night
these don't need to exist @OpenAIDevs
the “@Meta AI” app should get merged with @Muse
and the @AIatMeta One subscription needs to apply to Muse
this says a lot about American culture
this new NFL experience is actually great
