🤓 GEEK OUT
📎 ChatGPT Meets SharePoint and OneDrive
OpenAI just launched a SharePoint and OneDrive connector for ChatGPT’s Deep Research feature.
Why it matters:
This is a big leap toward instant context for your AI tools. Your knowledge base—documents, projects, files—can now be queried and reasoned over by AI with zero copy-pasting. This could radically reduce the time from question to insight.
🗣️ AI Spontaneously Developing Human-like Communication
A new study reveals that AI models can spontaneously create communication protocols that mimic human language—even when not explicitly trained to do so.
Why it matters:
Far from being spooky, this suggests a growing intuitive fluency in how AI handles meaning and intent. For builders and business leaders, it points to a future where AI doesn’t just execute commands—it understands nuance.
