“ChatGPT Agent” Finally Unleashed
Tired of wasting time on tabs and tedious workflows? OpenAI’s new ChatGPT Agent can now take real action on your behalf—booking flights, making slides, digging up product links, and more—through a secure virtual desktop. It’s the first time ChatGPT moves from suggestion to execution, with safety prompts built in before anything gets sent or purchased. The Agent is rolling out now for Pro, Team & Plus users, with more expansion planned this summer.

xAI’s Baby Grok for Kids
Following backlash from Grok’s controversial outbursts, xAI is swinging in the opposite direction with Baby Grok—a content-filtered chatbot aimed squarely at children. It’s built with guardrails, learning prompts & a toned-down personality, likely to win over cautious parents and regulators alike. Musk is positioning it as a safe intro to AI for the next generation, but also as a strategic reset after Grok’s rocky start in the public eye.
