1. GM to Put Google Gemini in Cars Next Year🚗
General Motors said Wednesday it will roll out a Google Gemini conversational AI assistant across Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC vehicles starting next year, bringing more natural voice interactions, message drafting, route planning with extra stops, and vehicle-aware features via OnStar.
The move follows broader industry interest in generative AI assistants from Stellantis, Mercedes, and Tesla, and builds on GM’s existing Google-built infotainment and prior use of Dialogflow for OnStar tasks.
2. Meta Slashes 600 AI Jobs Amid Cost Crunch �*
Meta is laying off about 600 employees from its AI teams as part of a major restructuring to move faster and cut bureaucracy, according to CNBC. The shake-up comes after CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s frustration with slow AI progress and lukewarm developer interest in Meta’s latest Llama 4 models.
Severance packages are being offered as the company doubles down on big bets like a $27 billion data center deal and a revamped superintelligence unit.
3. Google in talks for massive cloud deal with Anthropic 🤝
Google and Anthropic are negotiating a cloud agreement potentially worth tens to nearly a hundred billion dollars that would let Anthropic run its Claude models on Google’s TPU-powered cloud.
The talks come as Anthropic reports explosive revenue growth and big backers from both Google and Amazon, setting up a hyperscaler tug-of-war that could reshape where leading AI models are hosted.
4. States tighten the screws on AI chatbots as California adds private lawsuits 💼
New 2025 state laws from New York, Maine, Utah, Nevada and Illinois join earlier rules to force chatbot disclosures, safety protocols for mental-health and companion bots, and civil penalties, while California’s SB 243 now creates the first private right of action for companion chatbot violations, effective January 1, 2026, allowing injunctive relief, damages or $1,000 per violation and attorney fees, and requiring suicide-prevention protocols and reporting to the state Office of Suicide Prevention.
5. Amazon rolls out smart glasses and robots to shave seconds off deliveries 👓
Amazon unveiled new delivery tech focused on the “last 100 yards,” revealing Amelia smart glasses that give turn-by-turn directions, scan packages and capture proof of delivery, a compact robotic arm called Blue Jay to speed and reduce injuries in picking, and an AI operations system to prevent warehouse gridlock, all announced at its “Delivering the Future” event.
These moves are timely as Amazon pushes faster delivery windows and layoffs or hiring shifts could follow: the company’s automation plans may cut U.S. hiring needs even as Amazon hires seasonal workers.
🦾How You Can Leverage:
OpenAI just silently put all their AI marbles in one agentic jar: Atlas.
With their just released agentic browser Atlas, OpenAI is hoping that ChatGPT will go from the world’s most popular chatbot to the does-everything for everybody AI Operating system that you can’t live without.
Gamble? Maybe.
Sure, it’s legit game changing that Atlas is available immediately, syncs your ChatGPT context and data and can automagically perform actions for you in browser.
But is it enough to cut into Google’s insurmountable browser market?
Can it even rival Comet, the little bro AI browser from Perplexity?
And will it ultimately be a core focus for OpenAI, or just the latest feature that may or may not get ongoing attention and updates?
Those are the questions we set out to answer on today’s episode of Everyday AI.
Let’s dive in on what you need to know.
1 – Atlas Eliminates Multi-Tab Context Chaos 🔥
You're researching competitors in one tab, drafting responses in another, pulling data from a third, then manually connecting everything.
Oh, and then there’s those other 23 tabs that you don’t know how they got there. Lolz.
The standard browser workflow is broken y’all, even if you haven’t realized it yet.
Atlas agent mode navigates between websites autonomously and completes multi-step tasks while you're logged into your actual accounts. Your ChatGPT conversation history travels with you across every page.
We tested straightforward automation hours after launch. It had to find analytics data, research content, then use Google Gemini Deep Research to create outputs.
Failed three times with different wrong answers.
But the mechanics worked. It navigated platforms autonomously, extracted data, crafted prompts, and clicked required buttons without human intervention.
Execution capabilities exist. Reliability doesn't yet.
When accuracy improves, you'll automate tasks that currently require constant tab switching. Early adopters learning failure patterns today dominate when OpenAI fixes the bugs.
Try This
Download Atlas today and test the sidebar on websites you visit constantly.
It brings your full ChatGPT history into any page with two clicks.
If you've got a paid plan, run agent mode on simple research like comparing three competitors.
Watch what it does under the hood. You're learning how it thinks, not testing perfection.
2 – Browser Control Prints Money ⚡
Google doesn't pay Apple a reported $20 billion annually cuz they were feeling generous.
Browser control determines where users click and how attention gets monetized.
OpenAI won the chatbot war with 800 million users. But every single one browsed inside Chrome or Safari until Atlas dropped.
That's leaving money on the table.
The risk? OpenAI launches products with huge fanfare, then barely updates them.
GPTs shipped years ago and got minimal attention. Canvas launched and kinda got ignored aside from minimal updates. Agent mode sat stagnant for months.
Atlas cannot become another abandoned side project if it’s the glue that might hold it all together.
If OpenAI wants to become a top five most valuable company globally (which is very likely), they gotta prioritize Atlas aggressively with regular updates and enterprise features.
The ceiling is wild if they commit. The floor collapses if they treat this like GPTs.
Try This
Map your daily workflow and count how many times you manually copy information between ChatGPT and other websites.
Enable browser memory in settings so the AI learns your browsing patterns automatically.
Compare it against Perplexity's Comet to see which matters more for your workflows.
3 – Your ChatGPT Brain Lives Everywhere Now 🚀
Atlas carries your entire ChatGPT memory, conversation history, and preferences directly into every website you visit.
That's the killer feature everyone's missing.
You spent months training ChatGPT on your business context, communication style, and strategic priorities. That intelligence was trapped inside the chatbot interface.
Not anymore. Now it connects to everywhere on the web.
Atlas brings a sidebar to every webpage with instant access to your full ChatGPT context. Ask it to analyze competitor websites using your company's specific strategic framework. Draft emails in your exact communication style without switching tabs.
It can now apply that knowledge to any website you're browsing in real-time. Research becomes personalized. Content creation stays consistent. Decision-making happens faster because context follows you everywhere.
This is what agentic browsing actually means. Not just automation, but intelligent assistance that understands your specific business needs across your entire workflow.
Most executives will take six months to realize this capability exists.
You've got it today.
Try This
Open Atlas and navigate to a competitor's website you analyze regularly.
Click the sidebar and ask it to evaluate their positioning using your company's strategic framework.
It'll apply your ChatGPT conversation history and memory to the analysis instantly.
Test it on content creation next. Draft an email or social post and watch it match your communication style automatically because it already learned your preferences.
