Welcome to Nily AI Newsletter Edition Fourteen.

Could we BE any more into AI this week?

Welcome back to our very own Central Perk of AI news. Grab your coffee, get comfy, and settle in. From ChatGPT’s new side hustle to Google’s AI making your awkward calls, we’ve got all the drama, twists, and guest stars that’d make even Joey say, ‘How you doin’?’ Let’s dive in and catch up on everything AI, Friends-style!

ChatGPT Just Got a Side Hustle

OpenAI just dropped a new general-purpose agent inside ChatGPT. Basically, your chatbot now moonlights as a virtual assistant with actual skills.

It can browse websites, fill out forms, book stuff, and even run code or call APIs all while politely asking your permission (unlike some apps we know👀).

Think of it as Siri, but graduated, glowed up, and ready to run your digital life.

Sidekick? Nah. This one’s the main character now.

Remember Annie, the Goth AI? Yeah, She’s Not Paying the Bills

Last week, we introduced you to Annie, the goth anime AI companion Grok launched to spice things up. And spice she did! Downloads jumped like she just dropped a breakup mixtape.

But plot twist: the real money-maker wasn’t Annie, it was Grok 4, the chatbot’s new upgraded model. After its launch, daily revenue skyrocketed from $99K to $419K.

So yes, users came for the eyeliner, but they stayed for the intelligence.

DuckDuckNope: Hide the AI Art, Please

Tired of AI-generated images taking over your search results like it’s a robot art gallery? DuckDuckGo feels you.

Their new feature lets you hide AI-made pics—because sometimes, you just want real cats, not diffusion-dreamed fluffballs.

It’s a tiny toggle with big vibes for anyone craving authenticity in an internet full of overly polished pixels.

Your search, your rules. Goodbye, uncanny valley.

GenAI x Netflix: Coming to a Screen Near You (Literally)

Netflix just hit “skip intro” on traditional filmmaking because now they’re officially using generative AI to create actual content in shows and movies.

From background art to entire scenes, GenAI is sneaking its way into your binge-watch sessions like an uncredited guest star.

But don’t worry (yet): they say it’s to enhance production, not replace everyone... for now. So next time a scene feels a little too smooth? Could be AI, not CGI.

India: Perplexity’s Secret Shortcut

Perplexity said, “Why take the slow road when you can turbocharge?” and teamed up with Airtel to offer 360 million users a free year of Perplexity Pro (worth around $200).

The result? Downloads soared 600%, monthly active users jumped 640%!

ChatGPT is growing too, but Perplexity is banking on India as their secret weapon to zoom past the competition.

The challenge now? Turning all that hype into cold, hard cash.

Claude Says “No More Code for You”

Anthropic just pulled a sneaky one: they tightened Claude’s code usage limits without actually telling anyone.

Users suddenly hit a wall; fewer tokens, less coding power, more confused screams into the void.

One dev said, “I’m getting rate-limited for asking Claude to sort an array!”

No official blog post, no email, just surprise!

So if Claude feels grumpy this week, it’s not you, it’s the fine print.

“Le Chat” Levels Up: Deep Research Mode Unleashed!

French AI lab Mistral just injected some serious brainpower into its Le Chat chatbot. Now it comes with:

Deep‑Research Mode: Think of Le Chat going full Sherlock; planning, web‑searching, and synthesizing info.

Multilingual Reasoning: Fluent in French, Spanish, Japanese (and code‑switching mid‑chat!).

Image‑Editing Power: “Put me in Tokyo” or “remove that giraffe”; just type it.

Projects & Voice Mode: Organize chats into workspaces, talk instead of type.

Enterprise Security: Hooks into internal data without cluttering the cloud.

Le Chat is no longer just a cute demo, it’s a productivity beast!

Firefly Now Makes Sounds Too!

Adobe just gave Firefly a new trick: it can now generate sound effects from simple text prompts like “Boom!” or “Clickety-clack”. Want horse hooves on pavement? Just say the word.

It even syncs the sounds with your video timeline like a pro. No more digging through endless stock libraries.

Plus, new goodies: anime-style video filters, drag-and-drop video remixing, and deeper integration with popular models. Firefly’s turning into a full-on creative sidekick.

Copilot Now Sees Your Whole Desktop!

Microsoft just turbocharged Copilot Vision in Windows Insiders. Instead of peeking at two apps, it can now scan your entire desktop (with your permission, of course); thanks to a new “Desktop Share” mode.

Click the glasses icon, pick your screen or app windows, and bam! Copilot’s giving real-time guidance; resume tips, design tweaks, even in-game help. Think of it as having a nerdy assistant who actually gets your messy tabs. And yes, privacy is solid. It’s opt-in only!

Google’s AI Is Your New Phone Buddy

Hate awkward calls? Google’s AI (Gemini + Duplex) can now call local businesses for you like booking a pet groomer or dry cleaner. Just answer a few quick questions, and the AI handles the chat, then sends you a summary.

It’s free for all, with extra perks for AI Pro and Ultra users.

Plus, they’re cooking up smart upgrades like Deep Search and Gemini 2.5 Pro for next-level research and problem-solving.

Your new robot assistant minus the coffee runs!

Alright folks, that’s a wrap! Like Ross and Rachel’s on-again, off-again saga, AI’s always got surprises and plot twists. Whether it’s grooving with Goth Annie or Googling for you, remember AI’s not just a sidekick anymore, it’s the star of the show. So until next time, keep your coffee hot, your algorithms cooler, and as Chandler would say, ‘Could AI be any more exciting?’
