Let’s get started!

Upskill your team with ChatGPT (+ In-5-step tutorial)

OpenAI just introduced ​Study Mode​, a new way to learn inside ChatGPT. Instead of giving you quick answers, it guides you through concepts step by step, such as asking questions, checking your understanding, and helping you build real knowledge over time.

Whether you’re brushing up for a strategy session or helping your team learn something new, Study Mode makes ChatGPT feel more like a tutor than a search bar.

Key updates & features:

• Interactive Socratic-style teaching: ChatGPT begins by asking questions to understand your goals and skill level, then guides you toward answers rather than giving them directly.
• Layered, scaffolded learning: Concepts are broken into digestible parts, starting simple and gradually increasing complexity to help build real understanding.
• Personalization via memory: If memory is enabled, Study Mode remembers your past sessions and tailors explanations and tips based on what you’ve already learned.
• Knowledge checks and feedback: The mode includes open‑ended prompts to verify comprehension and offers feedback to reinforce learning.
• Rich input support: You can upload images or PDFs (e.g. class notes or problem sets), and ChatGPT will reference them to support your learning workflow.

Available to Free, Plus, Pro, and Team plan users now, with rollout to ChatGPT Edu coming soon.

For business leaders, it’s a practical tool to support how your team learns and prepares. You might use it to get sharper before a board meeting, explore topics like GenAI or quantum computing, or pressure-test your thinking ahead of a key decision. It’s also useful for guiding your team: you could ask a report to explore “AI in operations” using Study Mode and come back with a clearer, more structured understanding.

​In 5 Steps: Upskill Your Team in AI with ChatGPT Study Mode​

You’re looking for a lightweight, self-led way to get your team thinking more clearly about how they use AI, this is a great place to start. Prompting is a useful entry point: it’s hands-on, immediately applicable, and sets the foundation for more advanced topics like automation, retrieval, or model evaluation.

Team learning activity: each person explores prompt engineering using Study Mode, then shares a takeaway or quick demo in your next sync. It’s a simple way to turn everyday AI use into shared learning.

You can think of it as a flexible way to spark learning in the flow of work, especially when time is tight and topics are fast-evolving.

Your AI Team: NotebookLM’s Video Overviews, Copilot AI browser, Gemini Deep Think, and more

Every week, I report on the top updates to your favorite AI tools. This week:

NotebookLM adds AI-generated video overviews to documents

Google has rolled out a major update to NotebookLM, its AI note-taking and research assistant, by adding ​video overviews​ that summarize your documents using synthetic voice and visuals.

• AI‑narrated slide-style summaries: Video Overviews transform notebook sources, including Google Docs, scanned files, text, into short AI‑narrated visuals with slides that include diagrams, quotes, numbers, and key takeaways.
• Customizable in Studio mode: When generating a video, you can provide a specific prompt (e.g. your role, focus topics, or target audience) to steer the video tone, timing, and content.
• Store multiple outputs of the same type: The upgraded Studio tab now lets users generate and save multiple Audio or Video Overviews from a single notebook, for example, different chapters, target audiences, or languages.

The Video Overview feature is rolling out now for English-language users in the U.S., with more languages and broader availability slated soon. Early reviewers noted that visuals are functional but minimal, pretty generic illustrations that lack polish, so for now these are best for internal learning or “first draft” explainer use, not external decks. If you’re working with knowledge-heavy docs such as internal briefings, research, onboarding materials, this signals a shift: AI is moving beyond summarizing content to repackaging it in new, multimodal formats. Could this reduce time spent on internal decks or async updates in your org?

Quick Hits from your favorite AI tools:

• Google launches ​Gemini Deep Think​, a parallel reasoning engine for AI: This new model tests multiple reasoning paths simultaneously, helping Gemini explore nuanced answers and avoid rushing to conclusions. It’s now available for Google AI Ultra subscribers.
• Google’s AI Overview mode gets “​Canvas​” for editable answers and real-time help: Users can now edit AI-generated summaries directly, get live support during “Search Live” broadcasts, and explore topics through a new Notebook-style canvas interface.
• Microsoft Edge becomes an AI browser with new ​Copilot Mode​: The browser now opens with an AI assistant sidebar, adds tools for webpage summaries, screenshot Q&A, and lets users ask follow-up questions mid-browsing.
• Anthropic ​limits​ Claude’s code-generation power to curb misuse: New rate limits reduce how often power users can run long coding tasks in Claude, aimed at discouraging abuse and managing compute resources.
• Grok-Imagine adds ​NSFW-enabled image and video generation​ to xAI’s model lineup: Elon Musk’s xAI now offers an image and video generator that, unlike rivals, explicitly permits adult and graphic content.
