  1. 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.

  3. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Meta’s AI agent Muse is now the No. 2 app in the US

  8. 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.

  10. 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.
