Microsoft is taking AI-powered productivity to the next level with the launch of Copilot Pro. For just $20 a month, subscribers gain access to a range of AI features within Office apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

2. OpenAI Takes on Election Abuse Ahead of 2024 Elections 🗳️
OpenAI is stepping up its game to combat misinformation and abuse during the highly anticipated 2024 elections worldwide. With generative AI tools becoming widely available to voters, governments, and political campaigns, OpenAI is implementing new policies and tools to ensure users have access to verified news and authentic images. The company is experimenting with a provenance classifier tool to detect AI-generated images, and is also working on integrating its ChatGPT platform with real-time news reporting globally.
3. Elon Musk's Power Play at Tesla Sparks Controversy 🚗
Elon Musk, the tech titan and CEO of Tesla, has stirred up a firestorm by expressing his desire for 25% voting control over the electric vehicle company. This move comes as Musk aims to expand Tesla's artificial intelligence and robotics efforts. However, some investors are concerned that if Musk gains such a significant stake, it could result in a major payout and restructuring of Tesla's shares. Musk's comments suggest a possibility of taking AI initiatives outside of Tesla if his needs aren’t met.
4. Vodafone and Microsoft’s 10-Year Partnership 👥

Everything Wrong with the GPT Store!
So OpenAI’s GPT Store is live and unfortunately, it’s not great…yet.
We’re reviewing the GPT Store and showing you what’s wrong with its current state and why OpenAI messed up.
Check out today's AI in 5.
🦾How You Can Leverage:
Swing and a miss.
That’s OpenAI’s GPT store, in a nutshell.
As much as we gush over ChatGPT, it’s not all roses, unicorns and golden spicy chicken nuggets.
Sometimes, we gotta call it like we see it. And sheeeesh this one’s kinda bad.
If you’re at all into ChatGPT or wanna know more about how the GPT store works, today’s show is for you.
And even if you’re already a vet at building GPTs, you’re gonna learn a thing or three.
So what is the GPT store, and how does their lukewarm rollout affect you?
Let’s break it down shorties. And make it spicy, with a double dose of the 1-2-3 treatment.
1 – The GPT Store background 🛍️
A. Tiered rollout was wonky
There was an announcement, a launch, and a ‘wait until later for the real ‘Store’ part.
Launching the store without monetization features live really killed the momentum OpenAI built.
Or, maybe that’s intentional, like Joanna pointed out on the livestream.
B. Plugins likely phasing out
Sad face emoji.
All signs are pointing to the fact that OpenAI is slowly/eventually phasing out the Plugins mode inside of ChatGPT, which is a huge mistake.
GPTs can only be used at a time, and are largely task-based. Plugins can be used three at a time, and combined properly, can automate every aspect of your business.
C. Monetization is later
Adding to the rollout confusion? Even though the store is live, monetization isn’t coming until sometime later this quarter.
2 – What went wrong 🚫
A. Not an actual store
The 'store' name implied a commercial platform, but it functioned more as an unfinished directory.
No buying GPTs. No selling GPTs. No monetization. Just some links.
B. Features aren’t working
Try searching for anything, and you’ll see what we mean:
Good luck finding relevant ‘marketing’ GPTs in the store.
But, we built a better one. See what happens here when you search for Marketing GPTs?
Actual Marketing GPTs. Hundreds of them, actually.
Reply directory to this email, and we’ll send you the directory we built
C. GPT backends aren’t secure
No bueno OpenAI.
There’s definitely a copycat problem in the store right now as a simple prompt can expose the configuration instructions for many GPTs.
3 – What to do next? 🤷
A. Build, but don’t publish
Don’t get us wrong. GPTs are legit amazing. The ability to build something that does your tasks for you without having coding/development skills? Bonkers.
B. Keep using plugins
The writing is on the wall, and it seems Plugins mode is on its way out.
Eventually.
But while they’re still here, we encourage you to use the heck outta plugins. Here’s our favorites and how they’ll change you biz.
C. Learn GPT building the right way in our Inner Circle
Yeah, it’s taken a while.
Buuuuuuut we promise it’ll be worth it. (Thanks for your patience!)
We’ve been working on our GPT building course, but we’ve delayed it to coincide with the launch of our free Inner Circle community.
It’s coming VERY soon.
Trust us — this gonna be epic.
Just reply Inner Circle to this email, and we’ll put you on the early access list
Now This …
Woah. A double whammy?
Reply to this email with Inner Circle for access to our upcoming community and ask for our GPT directory.
Now that’s some SERIOUS value right there.
