We're in this transition from ChatGPT being a thing that answers questions to a product that actually goes and does tasks for you in the real world.
You should be in control of any actions that it takes.
The best way to do that is to kind of co-evolve together.
a core part of the way you operate your life.
There's sort of an always-on nature.
You realize that you have this super assistant in your pocket that can not just answer any question, but it can teach you anything that you want to learn.
It's unpredictable.
Sometimes things take longer than expected.
Other times you see these capabilities that you didn't expect at all that are kind of emergent and all of a sudden something just works.
It's a completely different way of building products.
Computers can like do things that they couldn't do two months ago and we're constantly in that state.
Yes, we have.
And thank you so much for having me.
It's my first live Substack, so I'm excited.
but hopefully many more to come.
The biggest thing that we launched this morning, we launched like six different things this morning, but I think the most important one kind of for the long-term future of AI is we launched a series of connectors
that can connect to your either personal data or if you're an enterprise, your enterprise data.
So this is connectors into Google Docs, to Gmail and Calendar, to SharePoint, to OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, Linear, all of these different tools that you use every day to get things done.
With the rise of our reasoning models, connecting them into the services and the data that you use helps the models be way more useful.
So it's not just that you can now ask at work, for example, if you're Google Docs or SharePoint, you connect it into the docs that you use every day.
