Show notes from Everyday AI

All eyes will be on GPT-5.6 Sol today. ☀️

But some might argue, that won't even be the ChatGPT maker's biggest release this week. 

That's because we finally have conversational AI that just works in OpenAI's new GPT-Live model inside ChatGPT. 

And that's not the only big release this week: we had big drops from Meta, Grok, Google and more. 

The most important move you can make each week is to quickly know the newest features you can ACTUALLY use. And that's what our Friday Features show is all about. (Brought to you a day early, obviously.)
