LATEST AI NEWS
ANTHROPIC
Anthropic has launched Claude for Word, bringing its AI directly inside Microsoft Word to help users draft, review, and edit documents without leaving the app.
The Details:
Claude for Word is a native add-in that works inside Word as a sidebar, no switching tabs needed
Users can ask questions about documents and get answers with clickable citations from specific sections
Edits appear as tracked changes, letting users accept or reject them like a human collaborator
Claude can rewrite clauses, respond to comments, and preserve formatting, numbering, and styles
Works across Word, Excel, and PowerPoint with shared context, so no copy-paste between apps
Why it matters:
AI is moving inside the tools people already use. Instead of chatting with AI, you now work with it directly in your documents, which could change how writing, editing, and reviewing gets done.
OPENAI
OpenAI has introduced a new $100/month ChatGPT plan, designed for power users who need higher limits for coding and intensive workflows.
The Details:
New $100 Pro tier sits between $20 Plus and the $200 Pro plan, filling the pricing gap
Offers 5× more Codex usage than Plus, built for longer, high-effort coding sessions
Temporary boost gives even higher limits until May 31 for early users
No plan offers unlimited usage, while the $200 plan provides ~20× higher limits than Plus
Directly positioned to compete with Anthropic’s $100 Claude tier in the developer market
Why it matters:
This move shows the shift toward charging for real usage and workflows, not just access, and puts OpenAI directly against Claude in the developer market.
