It's been a while. Say hello to the new https://t.co/jTIMAM6jSu

[F Λ N T Λ S Y @F_i]

Six months ago, @OpenAI launched Apps in ChatGPT.

The platform has already changed three times since.

Plugins are dead. "Connectors" got renamed. The Apps SDK now runs on MCP. Commerce flows run through ACP. And the brands that moved early—@Target, @DoorDash, @coursera, @canva—already building durable distribution inside the conversation.

We published our Apps in ChatGPT Playbook in October 2025.

It's become one of the most-read pieces we've put out. But when the platform shifts this fast, a six-month-old playbook needs a rewrite.

So we rewrote it.

The fully updated playbook is now live 👉 https://t.co/CRf6WN9mOF

AI is rewriting businesses in real time, and most leaders aren't ready.

The difference between existential crisis and success, and crisis and collapse?

Coherence.

Last week at @sxsw , Peter Smart joined @pchandrasekar, CEO of @StackOverflow, Sam Jordan, Head of Computing and Technology at @FTSG_Consulting, and @FastCompany's @kcifeanyi to talk about what actually separates the companies that will navigate this moment from the ones that won't.

A team of three people using AI can now compete with a major Hollywood studio. Business models built over decades are being rewritten in real time.

The advantage no longer belongs to the biggest or best-resourced organizations. It belongs to the most coherent.

That's why teams of 3 are outpacing teams of 3,000.

If your company doesn't have that coherence today, it's time to fight for it.

"Modern families need help."

"The U.S. Surgeon General recently shared that nearly half of parents report feeling overwhelmed with stress, and roughly 65% of parents are feeling lonely.

"When parenting has an advisory label like a pack of cigarettes, we know we're in a crisis that demands our attention.

"This is why we created Umi, an AI-powered family wellness coach to help families care for, coordinate, and connect with each other." — @yokymatsuoka, CEO

Congrats to our partners @panasonic Well for their show-stopping launch this week at #CES2025 🎉

We’re so proud to be a part of Umi's journey.

To discuss the democratization of AI, one of the biggest challenges of our time, @petewsmart heads to the front lines with @huggingface's @_philschmid 🤗

He offers a rare insider perspective of what the next 1-2 years have in store, and best practices for our new human-AI partnerships:

These can look like:

▪️ Focusing on your use case, then find the right model
▪️ Treating AI as a collaborative tool
▪️ Investing in quality data for customization

But Philipp's main advice?

"See AI as something that can help you improve at what you already do best."

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰��𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀™️ — trainable AI beings that transform the ways teams can research and innovate.⁠ ⁠

Each Synthetic Human is trained on real, human data to have a complex personality, modeled on over 100 attributes of the human psyche. Each human has long-term memory and the ability to see.⁠ ⁠

What can you do with them?⁠ ⁠

𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵:⁠
▪️ Securely mirror your existing and desired customers at global scale.⁠
▪️ Then run both qualitative and quantitative research studies with high degrees of accuracy.⁠
▪️ Build empathy directly with individuals.⁠
▪️ Create research communities that remember and evolve.⁠
▪️ Run rapid concept desirability tests.⁠
▪️ All in a matter of minutes, not months.⁠ ⁠

𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗛����𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺:⁠
▪️ Modeled on world-class innovators in product management, experience design, marketing, content strategy and more⁠
▪️ They can be trained on past work to then collaborate with you on ground-breaking ideas.⁠
▪️ Or work autonomously to simultaneously generate and validate new products and concepts.⁠ ⁠

Synthetic Humans give us the power to discover human insight, empathize, innovate and validate in revolutionary ways.⁠ ⁠

Maybe it conjures Hollywood scenes from Iron Man or even Minority Report?⁠
⁠
Law enforcement agencies around the world are rapidly adopting #AI tools. AI creates brand new ways for them to try and combat crime. But it also raises big questions.⁠
⁠
Who ensures that AI is being used responsibly, ethically by law enforcement agencies and in a way that upholds human rights?⁠
⁠
Watch @Irakli_UN—@UnitedNations' Head of the Centre for Artificial Intelligence & Robotics, @UNICRI— and @petewsmart as they discuss:⁠
⁠
▪️ AI at the cutting-edge of law enforcement.⁠
▪️ How criminals themselves will use AI and what it might take to combat it.⁠
▪️ Frameworks for the responsible use of AI by law enforcement agencies.⁠
⁠
This interview covers so much ground.⁠
