OpenAI Brings a 'Data Agent' for Enterprise Analytics to ChatGPT Work
OpenAI added a new 'Data Agent' to ChatGPT Work on September 10, letting employees analyze internal company data using plain-language questions like 'why did users drop last week' without learning a specialized analytics tool or writing queries. It connects to databases such as Amazon Redshift, Databricks, Snowflake, and MongoDB alongside documents from Google Drive and SharePoint, and it integrates with existing BI tools like Tableau and Power BI.

OpenAI targets Wall Street bankers with a new version of ChatGPT
OpenAI launched 'ChatGPT for Financial Services,' a chatbot built specifically for banks and financial institutions. It connects a bank's proprietary data with outside sources like Bloomberg and FactSet, comes preloaded with datasets such as Crunchbase and PitchBook, and helps produce analyst research and client-facing materials, complete with citations for every data-informed output. It links to roughly 50 MCP connectors for other services.

OpenAI Launches 'GPT-Live-1' API for Real-Time Conversational Agents
OpenAI launched GPT-Live-1 on September 10, an API for real-time voice conversations that uses 'full-duplex' communication, letting both sides talk and respond at once instead of taking turns like earlier voice AI systems. According to data from the Speak platform, it cuts how often users interrupt the AI by 80% compared with turn-based systems, and developers can route simple tasks like bookings to faster models while sending complex queries to a high-performance model like GPT-6 Astra.

OpenAI puts Pro subscriptions on hold due to Astra demand
OpenAI paused new sign-ups and upgrades to its $200-a-month Pro plan on September 10, after demand for Astra, the new model it launched on September 3, overwhelmed its servers. The Plus, Go, and Enterprise plans and the API are unaffected, and existing Pro subscribers keep their current service.

OpenAI's GPT-Live-1 API lets developers build apps that talk and listen at the same time
OpenAI released GPT-Live-1, an API version of the voice model already used in ChatGPT, for developers. It scored 80.1% on a full-duplex interaction test, meaning it can listen and speak at once, far above the previous model's 45.4%, and cut turn-taking latency from 1.4 seconds to 0.8. It costs 5 cents per minute, and Yelp is already using it to handle phone reservations.

Meta’s AI agent Muse is now the No. 2 app in the US
Meta's AI agent app Muse climbed to No. 2 on the US iOS App Store. Downloads sit around 83,000, though, well below Threads' 4.3 million on day one or ChatGPT's 500,000-plus in its first six days. On Android's Google Play, it ranks just 338th in the productivity category, a sharp split by platform.

3 ways to prep for your next big race with Search
Google introduced three ways to use Search's AI Mode Canvas tool to prepare for a long-distance race on September 10. Tell it your location and fitness level and it builds a custom training plan, or link a YouTube Music account to get a running playlist. It also lets you filter gear searches by conditions, such as wide-toe running shoes or hydration vests within a price range.

Apple CEO John Ternus says the best AI device is still the iPhone
Apple's new CEO John Ternus said at the Surprise and Shine event that instead of building new AI hardware, the company will make the iPhone itself the hub for AI interaction. He listed the traits an ideal AI device needs, deep personal context, constant portability, on-device processing paired with cloud connectivity, strong display and camera and mic, and long battery life, and argued no product meets them better than the iPhone. He pitched privacy as Apple's key differentiator, saying if you can't control your data, trust is meaningless.

Get ready for the game with new football features in Search
Google added three new football-season features to Search: a live game feed that surfaces real-time scores and highlights, an expanded stats screen covering league-wide standings and player-level metrics, and a fantasy football integration where connecting a Yahoo or Sleeper account lets AI Mode suggest start/sit calls and waiver-wire targets. The features launch first in the US in English, with international expansion planned later.

Muse, Meta’s New Personal AI Agent, Needs You to Trust It
Meta launched Muse, a personal AI agent, on iOS, Android, and WhatsApp on September 8. Muse can send emails and book travel, and it can make purchases using single-use card numbers from Stripe's Link system so it never handles a user's real payment details. The agent runs inside a 'Secure VM' that isolates each user's activity, and Meta is offering bug bounties of up to $300,000 for vulnerabilities, including prompt-injection attacks.
