The Latest in AI
Claude Lands in Microsoft’s Backyard
Today we’re expanding Microsoft 365 Copilot with the addition of Anthropic’s Claude models. Customers can now use both OpenAI and Claude — starting in Researcher and Copilot Studio, and coming to more experiences soon.
Our multi-model approach goes beyond choice. It's all about

Microsoft just announced that Claude is now officially integrated into Microsoft 365 Copilot, marking the first time the tech giant has offered an alternative to OpenAI's models within its core productivity suite.
Starting with Microsoft's Researcher agent and Copilot Studio, enterprise customers can now choose between Claude Sonnet 4 and Opus 4.1 alongside existing OpenAI options.
It's like Microsoft finally realized that putting all their eggs in one AI basket might not be the smartest strategy...
Key developments in this partnership:
Claude Sonnet 4 and Opus 4.1 are now available model options in Copilot Studio, enabling custom enterprise-grade agent creation.
Microsoft's Researcher agent can now be powered by Claude Opus 4.1, offering deeper reasoning for complex multistep research tasks across web data and internal work content.
The integration is rolling out through Microsoft's Frontier Program to licensed customers who opt in, with Anthropic models hosted outside Microsoft-managed environments.
So What?
This represents a pretty significant shift in Microsoft's AI strategy. After investing $13 billion in OpenAI and maintaining exclusive partnerships, Microsoft is now diversifying its AI portfolio through Azure AI Foundry's 1,800+ model catalog.
Microsoft's projected $10 billion Copilot revenue by 2026 suddenly looks a lot more achievable when they're not locked into a single AI provider.

How to Generate Speech with Gemini
Google's AI Studio made voice generation as easy as typing a text message!
Here's how to turn your words into natural-sounding speech using Gemini's new audio capabilities:
Navigate to Google AI Studio and log in with your Google account.
Toggle the sidebar to access Generate Media.
Select Gemini Speech Creation from the available tools.
Fill out the style instructions section - specify tone and voice characteristics for your desired output.
Replace the default placeholders with your custom dialogue or script content.
Hit the Run button to generate your audio, then download the file when processing completes.
🔥 Power User Tip: Experiment with different style instructions like "conversational and warm" or "professional and authoritative" to match your content's purpose. The model responds well to specific descriptors.

Automate Content Creation with Make.com
Turn Google Sheets into a content factory by plugging ChatGPT straight into your spreadsheets. This automation churns out everything from SEO keywords to product descriptions faster than you can say "pivot table."
Because manually writing hundreds of social media captions is so 2023.
Here's how to implement this automation:
Sign up for Make.com and create a new scenario template.
Add Google Sheets as your trigger module, connecting it to your target spreadsheet with raw content.
Configure the ChatGPT module with your API key and design prompts that reference specific sheet columns.
Set up the output module to write ChatGPT's responses back to designated columns in your sheet.
Test the flow with sample data, then activate the automation to process content in real-time.
The value here is enormous - what used to take hours of manual writing now happens automatically whenever you add new rows to your sheet.
Whether you're generating meta descriptions, social posts, or email subject lines, this workflow scales your content creation exponentially.
Of course, if you want to go even deeper into Make mastery we have it all laid out on our platform!

Instead of our usual meme today, here's a productivity prompt we use when motivation runs low but important work needs doing:
"Act as my personal motivation coach.
I have [specific task] to complete, but I'm feeling [current emotion/obstacle].
Help me break this down into the smallest possible first step, explain why completing this task matters for my bigger goals, and give me a 2-minute momentum-building exercise I can do right now to get started.
Be encouraging but direct."Just plug this into your favorite AI assistant and watch procrastination melt away…
