Better prompts. Better AI output.
AI gets smarter when your input is complete. Wispr Flow helps you think out loud and capture full context by voice, then turns that speech into a clean, structured prompt you can paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or any assistant. No more chopping up thoughts into typed paragraphs. Preserve constraints, examples, edge cases, and tone by speaking them once. The result is faster iteration, more precise outputs, and less time re-prompting. Try Wispr Flow for AI or see a 30-second demo.

OpenAI has begun rolling out a new age prediction system in ChatGPT, aimed at automatically identifying users who may be under 18 and applying stricter safety protections without relying only on self-reported age.
The Details:
ChatGPT now uses behavioral and account signals to estimate whether a user is likely under 18
When flagged, the system automatically applies additional safety limits on sensitive content
Signals include usage patterns, account history, and interaction behavior, not ID data
Adults incorrectly flagged can verify their age via a selfie check with OpenAI’s partner Persona
The rollout is global, with the EU coming slightly later due to regulatory requirements
Why it matters:
This is a major shift in AI safety. Instead of trusting what users say, ChatGPT is now making probabilistic judgments about age and enforcing guardrails by default. It highlights growing pressure on AI platforms to protect minors, while also raising questions about inference, accuracy, and user trust.

OpenAI is preparing to enter hardware in a serious way, with its first consumer device expected to ship in 2026 and early signs pointing toward a screen-free, audio-first form factor.
The Details:
OpenAI says its first device is on track to be announced in the second half of 2026, following its acquisition of Jony Ive’s startup io
Reports suggest the device could be a pair of earbuds, internally codenamed “Sweet Pea,” with a custom design
The earbuds may run on a 2-nanometer chip and handle AI tasks locally instead of relying entirely on the cloud
OpenAI is reportedly exploring manufacturing with Luxshare or Foxconn and targeting 40–50M units in the first year
The goal is tighter control over distribution and exclusive AI experiences, rather than relying on third-party platforms
Why it matters:
AI hardware has struggled to break through, but OpenAI has scale, talent, and nearly a billion weekly users. If it cracks an audio-first, screen-free device that fits naturally into daily life, it could redefine how people interact with AI beyond phones and apps.
AI LEARNING APP

Three ex-Google founders believe kids need more than text and voice answers. They are betting that interactive, AI-generated experiences are the future of how children learn and explore curiosity.
The Details:
Sparkli is founded by former Google employees Lax Poojary, Lucie Marchand, and Myn Kang, all parents frustrated with text-heavy AI tools
The app creates interactive learning “expeditions” using AI-generated audio, video, images, quizzes, and games in under two minutes
It targets kids aged 5–12 and focuses on modern topics like financial literacy, design thinking, and entrepreneurship
Safety is built in, with banned sensitive content and emotional intelligence guidance for difficult questions
Sparkli has raised $5M in pre-seed funding and is already piloting with schools reaching 100,000+ students
Why it matters:
AI education for kids has mostly meant chatbots and videos. Sparkli is pushing beyond that with immersive, choose-your-own learning experiences that feel closer to play than homework. If it works at scale, it could reshape how schools and parents use AI for real learning, not passive consumption.
