• New Chrome + Excel integrations make Claude more useful across daily workflows.

• Uses 65% fewer tokens on average than Claude 3 for complex code tasks.

• Available now via Claude API and major clouds under: claude-opus-4-5-20251101.

Google

📧 Google Denies Gmail Emails Being Used to Train AI

Google has responded to viral reports with a firm denial: your Gmail emails are not being used to train Gemini AI. Confusion arose over “Smart Features,” but the company says these tools are opt-in and separate from model training.

The Details:

• Google called the AI training claims “misleading” and reiterated Gmail content isn’t used for Gemini model training.

• The “Smart Features” feature uses email data for things like autocomplete, summaries, and reminders—not to train AI.

• No recent setting changes were made, but some users saw Smart Feature toggles resurface in settings.

• Google emphasized users can opt out anytime to prevent even personalized feature usage.

• The panic sparked broader concerns about transparency in data practices for AI companies.

Why it matters:

As AI tools expand, privacy concerns are rising. Even without misuse, the confusion shows how vital it is for companies to communicate data policies clearly and proactively.

OPENAI

🛍️ ChatGPT Can Now Help You Shop Smarter

OpenAI just launched a built-in product research assistant inside ChatGPT—turning the chatbot into a personal shopping guide that compares products, prices, and reviews in real time.

The Details:

• Available to all users (Free, Plus, Team, Enterprise) with “nearly unlimited” access during the holiday season.

• You can ask for anything—from “best laptops under $1000” to “eco-friendly baby strollers”—and ChatGPT will guide you.

• It pulls info from across the web, including prices, specs, reviews, and availability, to build curated lists.

• Users can refine results by clicking “not interested” or “more like this,” and ChatGPT adapts the suggestions.

• A checkout feature is coming soon—letting you buy directly inside ChatGPT for selected merchants.

Why it matters:

This feature signals OpenAI’s next big bet: turning ChatGPT into an interactive shopping companion. It’s not just about chatting anymore—it’s about helping users make real-world decisions with AI.
