Today we have something that is a little less directly work-related, but still, we should all be aware of. It’s about where AI image generation and image editing are at right now.

We have some big updates from Microsoft Copilot.

Copilot tends to be a bit behind ChatGPT in terms of capabilities, so it is pretty exciting to get so many new features released for us users.

If you are a Copilot user, you will love these new options.

If you are a ChatGPT user, you'll enjoy seeing how excited we are about things you've had for ages 😄, lucky you.

But hey - we get them baked into our Microsoft environment, so now we can do things like: Hey Copilot, every morning, brief me on my meetings for the day.

Or - every afternoon, let me know what is still outstanding in my email.

Pretty cool. Let's jump in.

We've talked about AI agents.

These are AI that can actually do things for us, not just talk about things with us. And this is becoming the norm now.

Today I want to show you one of the things that we do for the first time and life will never be the same.

I can imagine a day when our children ask: Why is it called a browser? And we will explain that they used to just browse. Not do anything. And the kids will ask: Really? What was that good for?

This era has just begun and the first major player is Comet, a browser by Perplexity, the company that makes the AI-powered search and answer engine also called Perplexity.

GPT-5 is here. And it rolled out to ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot at the same time, so Copilot users weren’t left behind.

It’s faster, it’s smarter, and it combines all the models into one.

I’ll show you what it looks like in both ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, how to get started, and a tip that can give you a bit more capacity in GPT-5.

We need to update our AI policy.

There are major changes that we really need to look at.

And if you're a smaller business and you don't really have a formal AI policy, that's OK.

You need to at least think about these topics, make some decisions and have a conversation with your team about them.

We are hearing a lot about AI agents. It’s no longer a future thing. It’s a now thing.

Let me show you what they are so that you become a smarter builder and a smarter buyer.

I love how AI gives us superpowers!

Things that were hard to do become easy to do.

Let me show you one.

Sometimes we need information that is accurate, complete and comprehensive.

Today, we’re diving into AI-powered research tools designed exactly for that.

Do you want to play a game and learn about AI?

There's this fantastic new game that actually educates us on security with AI and where it goes wrong.

Let me show you.

Today we are getting a glimpse into how AI is reshaping spreadsheets, and I love it!

It is really a super simple way to automate a lot of your processes, even if they are not really numbers related.

I will show it in Google Gemini, it is not as easy in Microsoft Copilot, but I’m sure it’s coming there to.

Let me show you how it works.

Hi there,

Today I’m going to tell you about a new capability in ChatGPT — and how it appears in Copilot, Gemini, and other engines too.

And then I’ll tell you a bit of news about me.

Let me show you the new capability:

Sometimes we get AI to write a thing for us and it develops this whole big document, which is good, but it's not quite right.

Then we end up spending a lot of time trying to adapt it and adjust it and get it to what we want it to be.

And it can get a bit frustrating, and sometimes I just give up and start again.

There’s a better way.

Let me show you how I do it:

I use AI all the time.

Not just to help me with my work, but also, to help me understand the world.

And today, I want to share with you a bit of an optimistic view of how I think AI can help us connect better as humans and maybe give us hope for our future as a society.

Let me show you what I mean:

I use AI all day, every day, for all my tasks, work and personal.

It helps me brainstorm and come up with new ideas, organise my thoughts and connect the dots that I didn’t connect — and I love that.

But sometimes it really misses the obvious, and we need to have awareness of that.

Let me show you what I mean:

Hi, today I want to show you that we can use AI, and then we can use AI even better!

I was giving a presentation to a room of accountants room and here's what happened:

We all have access to the same systems — but some of us get very little out of them, and some of us get a lot.

Today I want to tell you a bit about how to get a lot more from your AI products by getting them to know about you, and become more relevant — so they know how to help you best.

Let me show you what that looks like:

In 2021, I was Head of Technology and Innovation for a professional services firm in Melbourne, and I was hiring for a software development automation position in my team.

It was a grad position, so all the candidates were relatively young and inexperienced, a bit nervous in the interviews — but one of them really stood out.

Let me show you what happened — and what it taught me about AI:

We all share work with AI, and we ask: what do you think?

And we get a nice and supportive response with a few points for improvement and that's it.

But I want more.

I don't want AI to just be my friend that tells me you're doing great! and I just continue doing what I've already been doing.

I want it to be my advisory board that brings in all sorts of skills and perspectives and really makes me better.

Let me show you some examples of how I do that. All the chat URLs are at the bottom of this email:
