Hi Reader,

This week was actually a pretty slow week in AI, which honestly I was thankful for. After the tsunami of AI updates the previous week, I needed the break.

But yesterday, Google launched Workspace Studio, a suite of AI assistants built directly into Docs, Sheets, Gmail, and more — and it’s AMAZING. They work in context, right where you’re typing, so you can brainstorm, summarize, rewrite, and automate without jumping between tools.

Meanwhile, Perplexity added memory, letting you pick up research threads weeks later without starting over.

And yes, OpenAI is experimenting with a wild idea called “Confessions” to make models more honest… by having them double-check their own logic before giving you an answer. It’s early, but it could be a major step toward more trustworthy outputs.

Big News of the Week​​

​Google Introduces Workspace Studio​

Google released Workspace Studio, a collection of AI agents that work directly inside Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and more. You can use them to summarize, draft, rewrite, organize, generate slides, and automate tasks without needing any setup. The goal is to give you an assistant that understands the context in your files and helps you complete work right where you’re already working.

​Here’s a little demo for ya…​

​OpenAI Experiments With “Confessions” to Improve Model Honesty​

OpenAI is testing an approach where the model generates a hidden explanation before giving an answer. If the reasoning contradicts the final output, the system flags it. Early testing shows this can reduce hallucinations and push the model to stay aligned with dependable logic. Hopefully this results in less hallucinations!

​Meta Confirms Private DMs Aren’t Used for AI Training​

Meta clarified that private messages labeled as private stay private and aren’t included in AI training. They’re trying to eliminate confusion and reinforce that your personal conversations aren’t feeding their models. (My thoughts? Always be mindful what you are putting into Meta and anywhere else for that matter.)

​Perplexity Adds Memory for Personalized Research​

Perplexity launched a memory system that remembers your interests, threads, and research patterns. This lets you return to conversations weeks later and continue without losing momentum, making answers feel more tailored to how you search and think.

​OpenAI and Google Roll Out New Safeguards on Sensitive Outputs​

Both companies strengthened their safety boundaries. OpenAI tightened restrictions around Sora, while Google added new protections to Nano Banana Pro to reduce harmful or sensitive image generations.

​Google Limits Free Nano Banana Pro Usage​

Google placed caps on free Nano Banana Pro image generation because demand surged beyond what the system could support. Paid tiers still allow heavier use, but free access now has limits to keep performance stable.
