Hi Reader,

This week’s updates are packed with signs that AI is becoming deeply personal and practical. Plus, I’m sharing a powerful master prompt template to help you train your favorite AI tool to truly know you.

Big News of the Week

Google

​​Gmail’s AI-Powered Search Rolls Out to Business Users​
Gmail is introducing AI search powered by Gemini for Google Workspace accounts. Instead of keywords, you can describe what you’re looking for—even if you forget the sender or subject—and get accurate results.

​​Google Photos Merges Classic Search with Gemini AI​
Google Photos now combines traditional filters with Gemini-powered AI search for faster, smarter results. Searching for “dog pic at the lake” will get you relevant photos instantly with descriptive categories.

​​​​Google Workspace Gets “Gems,” Custom Gemini AI Assistants​
Google Workspace users can now access “Gems,” customizable Gemini AI assistants that specialize in specific tasks, directly from the side panel in Docs, Slides, Sheets, Drive, and Gmail. You can use your own custom chatbots or pre-made options without switching apps.

​​OpenAI Builds Google Workspace and Microsoft Office Rival​
OpenAI is working on AI-powered real-time collaboration and workspaces inside ChatGPT, challenging Microsoft with features like voice mode, file uploads, and integrations with tools like Drive and Dropbox.​​​​​​

Anthropic / Claude

​​Claude Artifacts Make Collaboration Easier​
Claude now lets you create and edit documents, code, and more live inside your chat, keeping your work and conversations seamlessly connected.

​​Study Reveals How People Use Claude for Emotional Support​
Only a small percentage of chats with Claude focus on emotions or companionship, but those conversations often end positively. People are using AI for coaching, advice, and simply having someone to talk to.

Perplexity AI

​​Perplexity AI Launches Video Clips From X Tags​
Perplexity AI now lets you tag @AskPerplexity on X with a prompt to create a short video clip. It’s a fun way to share ideas visually, though it also raises questions about content accuracy and usage as AI-generated videos spread.

Apple

​​Apple May Let OpenAI and Anthropic Power Siri​
Apple is reportedly in talks with OpenAI and Anthropic to let their AI models power Siri and its AI search tools, potentially boosting Siri’s smarts and competitiveness.

[New Podcast] Automate Everything: Demystifying AI Agents with Jacob Bank

This episode is a must-listen if you're a solopreneur or small business owner who's curious about AI but doesn’t speak “tech.”

I sat down with Jacob Bank, founder and CEO of Relay.app—a no-code platform that lets you build your own AI agents (even if you’ve never written a line of code). Jacob shares exactly how he uses 40+ AI agents to run marketing, support, sales, finance, and more... all without a team.

This isn’t theoretical. Jacob is doing this right now—running a full company solo, with the help of AI.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• What an AI agent actually is (and why it's not just a chatbot)
• The simple 5-step workflow Jacob uses for repurposing content on autopilot
• The one chart that changed everything (hint: it's got 40 AI agents on it)
• How to think in flowcharts instead of tech terms
• Why AI is still underhyped—yes, underhyped
• The critical skill that every solopreneur should start building now

This is one of those episodes you’ll return to whenever you’re ready to take your business automation to the next level—it’s that good.

And don’t forget we will have our training Build Your First AI Agent with Relay.app -> July 15th at 1 PM ET. Register here​

Prompt of the Week

Answer the following questions in a text document. Aim for 1-3 sentence responses per question to start. Then paste the entire document into the "Personal preferences" in Claude, or have it ready to add as a source in NotebookLM. I recommend those platforms because of their ability to share project folders with others across your team (which ChatGPT isn't able to do).

If you're not clear on any of the questions, ask the AI to help you figure it out.
