Hi {{first_name|everyone}},
Businesses are getting their own AI agents inside ChatGPT, which means you could soon be chatting with a company’s AI rep without leaving the app. We’ve also got a quick share from our friends at n8n, a few new tools worth bookmarking, a couple of Claude and Adobe updates, one lovely AI creation, and the debut of our new 1-Minute Breakdown. Okay, enough from us, time to dig in.
🤿 DEEP DIVE
ChatGPT for Businesses
And they might want to chat with you, too.
Apparently, businesses aren't just going to show up in ChatGPT answers anymore. Some of them will actually be able to talk to you there.
OpenAI is introducing Businesses in ChatGPT, a new beta that gives companies a way to manage how they appear in ChatGPT and, in some cases, have their own AI agent answer customer questions.
And considering OpenAI says 1.2 billion people use ChatGPT every week, you can see why businesses might be interested.
But there's more going on here than simply giving companies a profile.
First, businesses get a little more control
Through something called Business Hub, companies can claim and verify their business in ChatGPT.
Once verified, they can update important details and add product information, including prices and availability.
So instead of relying entirely on whatever information ChatGPT already has about a business, companies have a way to provide more current details themselves.
There's also an interesting feature tucked into Business Hub.
Businesses can see how often they're mentioned in ChatGPT, how many website clicks they receive, and the general topics people are discussing when their websites get cited.
Not the actual conversations, though.
OpenAI says these insights are aggregated and only shown when enough interactions meet its privacy thresholds. Individual user conversations aren't shared with businesses.
And then there's the AI salesperson
Eligible businesses can create what OpenAI calls a Business Agent.
Say you're comparing two products from the same company. You find that business in a ChatGPT answer, open its profile, and see that it has a Business Agent.
You can then start a separate conversation and ask which product has the features you're looking for.
The agent uses the business's information to help answer those questions. Basically, you're talking directly to the company's AI representative without leaving ChatGPT.
There's an important distinction here, though.
The Business Agent isn't ChatGPT's independent answer. It's a separate, clearly labeled conversation with the business.
And businesses can sponsor their agents as destinations for ChatGPT Ads. Those sponsored placements are also labeled separately from regular ChatGPT responses.
So there's a difference between ChatGPT helping you compare options and a business explaining its own products.
That's worth keeping in mind.
Not every business gets an agent yet
Business Hub is available to eligible businesses in locations where ChatGPT operates.
Business Agents are more limited. For now, they're available to eligible ecommerce and online service businesses in the United States.
OpenAI says it plans to expand to more markets and business categories over time.
The bigger idea seems pretty clear, though. ChatGPT isn't just becoming a place where people discover businesses. OpenAI is giving those businesses a way to participate in the conversation themselves.
And that's a pretty interesting distinction.
The quick take
Business Hub lets eligible companies claim their profiles, update details, and provide product information.
Businesses can see aggregated data about mentions, website clicks, and discovery topics, but not private conversations.
Business Agents let customers ask companies questions in a separate, clearly labeled AI conversation.
Business Agents are initially limited to eligible U.S. ecommerce and online service businesses.
Businesses can sponsor their agents through ChatGPT Ads, with sponsored placements labeled separately from independent answers.
🤝 FROM OUR FRIENDS
A quick share we thought you might find useful
Meet Nod, your personal AI agent from n8n
Nod is an open-source personal agent from n8n Labs that runs on your computer. It uses connected apps and its own browser to carry out tasks such as:
Collecting invoices from supplier portals.
Preparing a brief before a client call.
Cancelling a subscription and requesting a refund.
Unlike AI tools that simply tell you how to do something, Nod carries out the task for you.
It works with apps like Gmail, Calendar, Slack, and Notion, as well as websites with no integration.
You choose the AI provider. Nod remembers preferences you share and can save useful steps from previous tasks. It checks actions against your instructions and asks for your approval before doing something you didn't ask it to do.
Nod is available as a research preview for Mac and Windows. No n8n account is needed.
It can make mistakes or need your help along the way, and feedback from real tasks will help shape what comes next.
⏱️ 1-MINUTE BREAKDOWN
Tech and AI terms explained in plain English
What is a Context Window?
It’s the amount of information an AI model can work with at once, including your prompt, earlier messages, and the reply it generates. When a conversation gets too long, some earlier details may no longer be available to it.
For example, at the start of a chat, you tell the AI, “Keep every answer under 100 words.”
After a very long conversation, that instruction might no longer be in its context window. The AI may start giving longer answers, so you need to repeat the instruction.
🤖 AI MADE THIS
Interesting and inspiring creations made with AI
The creator behind @RoundtableSpace used Claude Opus 5.5 and Meshy to build Five Windows, an interactive collection of stained-glass scenes. The 3D models were generated with AI, while Claude helped build the experience where light changes throughout the day. It's a lovely example of turning AI-assisted coding into something artistic.

⚡ QUICK HITS
The latest in AI, tech, and productivity worth knowing
Anthropic has introduced Claude Meetings, which joins Google Meet calls and starts working while everyone is still talking. It can draft plans, create timelines, and pull information from connected apps during the discussion. Anthropic also launched Claude Whiteboards and Sheets for working together on plans and spreadsheets. All three are in beta.
Adobe previewed a way for AI agents from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic to work directly inside Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, and After Effects. They could edit actual project files while keeping everything editable if someone wants to take over. The integrations aren't available yet, with a private beta planned for early 2027.
