The Intelligent UI feature works with the GPT-6 model and is rolling out to all plans, including free ones. Simple calculators, comparisons and maps can now be created directly in the chat window.
As of this week, ChatGPT responds with charts, maps and simple apps, and Google DeepMind researchers have shown that a single model can create a ranking without a separate index. We checked which marketing decisions to make right now and which ones to hold off on.
Anthropic's AI assistant now works in the sidebar of Google's editors. It reads and changes file content without copying it into a separate window, but it has limitations that teams should know before deployment.
Artificial intelligence rules are starting to work in practice: OpenAI will watermark ChatGPT texts by default in the European Union. UOKiK has brought charges against Google in a dispute over money for publishers, and in the US the media giant Skydance is being formed.
The new version of the search engine documentation explicitly distinguishes content created with human effort from texts produced at scale by AI. This is a clue for companies that build traffic through content.
Brands are increasingly paying creators based on sales rather than reach. We have compiled seven measurement methods: what each one really counts, how much it costs, and which ones are within reach of a small business.
UOKiK has brought charges against four Google companies over the way they negotiated with Polish publishers. Formally, it is a dispute between the media and a platform, but it affects every company whose traffic and sales depend on a single search engine.
