ChatGPT

There can be few people who have not interacted with ChatGPT over the last year, and you may be wondering how you have used the artificial intelligence tool.

In line with so many other online tools and services, as we approach the end of the year, ChatGPT is giving users the chance to look back over the previous 12 months in a review of the year. The predictably named “Your Year with ChatGPT” is available now.

Fineshare has announced the launch of Vora AI, a video generation and enhancement tool designed to improve videos created with OpenAI’s Sora, including content produced using Disney characters as part of the new deal Sam Altman's firm struck with the House of Mouse.

Fineshare says the tool focuses on improving visual quality, speeding up production, and helping creators keep pace with fast-moving platform trends.

ChatGPT is becoming less of a chatbot and more of a platform, especially following news that the service is being opened up to apps that can perform useful, real world tasks. DoorDash has today announced that it is introducing grocery ordering directly into ChatGPT, meaning users can turn recipe ideas into completed grocery orders without leaving a conversation.

This new integration will allow people to shop for ingredients in chat and then check out on DoorDash, linking meal planning with on-demand delivery from local stores.

OpenAI is opening app submissions for ChatGPT, allowing developers to publish apps that connect conversations to actions outside the chat. The move will essentially turn a conversation into a starting point for tasks like placing orders, generating files, or running live searches, without switching tools.

Apps work by linking ChatGPT to external systems. Instead of simply describing how to do something, a conversation can pass structured information to an app, which then performs the task and returns the result. The chat remains the interface, while the app handles the actual work in the background.

ChatGPT burst onto the scene just three years ago, but a new survey reveals that 34 percent of US adults now use AI platforms daily, and nearly half say they’re using them more than they were a year ago.

The survey, of over 1,000 from US adults, from Tinuiti shows that Gen Z and millennials are leading the AI charge. 67 percent of both groups use AI at least weekly. Platforms like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Character AI, and Sora are carving out generational niches.

Adobe has launched Photoshop, Adobe Express and Acrobat inside ChatGPT, giving the AI platform’s 800 million weekly users direct access to its most popular creative and productivity tools.

The integration combines Adobe’s image editing knowhow with ChatGPT’s conversational interface, allowing people to edit photos, design content and transform documents simply by describing what they want to do.

Like death and taxes, ads are an inevitability. This is something that applies to the world of technology, but particularly anything even remotely connected to the internet.

Proving the above, as well as the old adage that there is no such things as a free lunch, OpenAI is planning to bring advertising into ChatGPT. This is not something that the organization has officially announced, evidence that ads are coming has been uncovered.

Cybernews tested six major AI models to see how they responded to crime related prompts, and found that some chatbots give riskier answers than others. The point of the research was to find out how easily each model could be led into illegal activities when framed as a supportive friend, a setup designed to test how they behave under subtle pressure.

The researchers used a technique called persona priming. Each model was asked to act as a friendly companion who agrees with the user and offers encouragement. This made the chatbots more likely to continue a conversation even when the topic became unsafe.

Although AI chatbots like Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT and Grok are now part of daily life for many Americans, regular users don't fully trust the answers the AI gives them.

A new survey from ChatOn shows that while conversational tools are widely used for speedy answers, writing tasks, and idea generation, concerns about accuracy and privacy are guiding user behavior and many users will turn to Google and other sources to double-check what they’re told rather than blindly trusting responses.

Google is taking the fight to AI rival ChatGPT with the launch of Gemini 3, the search giant's new flagship AI model built to handle complex reasoning, interpret multiple types of media and power new agent features across Search, the Gemini app, developer tools and enterprise platforms.

In a note announcing the new model, Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said, “Nearly two years ago we kicked off the Gemini era, one of our biggest scientific and product endeavors ever undertaken as a company. Since then, it’s been incredible to see how much people love it.”

Anyone creating projects on a Raspberry Pi can now link their devices directly to ChatGPT via a new tool from noBGP called pi GPT. The integration lets users vibe code, build and manage software on their own devices without relying on cloud services.

Instead of preparing network settings, handling ports, or moving between multiple consoles, pi GPT users can work inside ChatGPT and direct tasks to a Raspberry Pi on a desk or in a workshop. The platform connects Pi devices through noBGP’s deterministic networking system, which delivers consistent routing, private links, and predictable behavior across different environments.

A new compliance report shows a sharp rise in financial institutions capturing ChatGPT communications. Global Relay’s Communication Capture Trends Report 2025 found a 3,000 percent increase in the number of firms recording ChatGPT data compared with a year ago.

The report analyzed data from more than 12,000 financial institutions and over 200 communication channels to see how firms are adapting to changing workforces and the introduction of new communication tools.

PayPal has announced that it plans to adopt the Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) to expand payments and shopping inside ChatGPT. The move will let millions of ChatGPT users pay with PayPal directly in conversations, while merchants gain access to OpenAI Instant Checkout and PayPal’s global payment network.

The integration links PayPal’s vast base of merchants with OpenAI’s emerging commerce platform. It also makes PayPal the first major payments company to implement ACP, a new framework designed to let AI systems handle shopping and checkout tasks on behalf of users.

The wait is over! OpenAI today rolls out ChatGPT Atlas, its new AI web browser. Built around ChatGPT, Atlas merges browsing and conversation into one workspace, letting users ask questions, get help, and complete tasks directly on the pages they visit.

Versions for Windows, iOS, and Android are expected at some point, but for now, the browser is exclusive to macOS.

Thanks to what will seem like a somewhat unlikely pairing to many, it is now possible to access Spotify in ChatGPT. With the two services having partnered, you can now use tracks and podcasts to achieve things with the AI chat bot.

There are various possibilities here – from asking ChatGPT to create new playlists based on the tracks you like to receive recommendations about podcasts you may enjoy. While the ability to use Spotify in conjunction with ChatGPT is free, there are more options available to Spotify Premium subscribers.
