Welcome Automaters!
If you’re a teacher, student, or anyone remotely tied to education… Google just dropped some very interesting treats.
We’re talking about AI tools that might actually change how classrooms work.
Let’s talk about it. 👇
Here's what we have for you today
👨🏫 Google Makes Its AI School-Ready
Here’s the truth: kids are already using AI for everything. Homework? ChatGPT. Essay? Claude. Studying? Maybe. Cheating? Allegedly 👀.
These days, students aren’t raising their hands — they’re typing into chatbots. And in colleges? It’s basically a cold war between AI tools and AI detectors.
And since there’s no stuffing this AI genie back in the bottle, Google’s decided to dive in hard — like, 30+ new tools hard — to make sure AI becomes a learning partner instead of a classroom chaos agent.
This all went down at the ISTE edtech conference, where Google rolled up with a backpack full of AI-fueled updates. And just so we’re clear — this isn’t a little Gemini sprinkled here and there. This is a full-on classroom takeover.
Here’s what’s actually worth knowing:
First off, Gemini’s AI suite for educators is now free for all Google Workspace for Education accounts. With this, teachers can now:
Brainstorm lessons
Create personalized content
Plan class activities with just a few prompts
Basically have an AI teaching assistant that doesn’t take sick days
They’re rolling out something called Notebook LM, where teachers can upload their materials and boom — it turns into an AI-powered, interactive study guide students can use to review and prep.
Then there’s Gems — mini, custom-built versions of Gemini. Teachers can design them to act as subject-specific tutors, trained on their own class content.
So instead of Googling random answers, students get on-demand help that actually aligns with what they’re learning.
And there’s more:
AI Reading Buddy will soon be built into the Read Along tool in Google Classroom to help younger students read out loud and follow along.
Google Vids is now available to all educators. Teachers can use it to whip up instructional videos. Students can use it for book reports, presentations, or anything that needs a glow-up.
There’s also some behind-the-scenes magic: Think stronger privacy settings, analytics dashboards to track student progress, AI access controls, and new Chromebook tools to make classroom management less of a three-ring circus.
Bonus drop: A new Class Tools Mode feature in Google Classroom that lets teachers shoot videos, quizzes, slides, and more directly to students’ screens. Oh, and it locks tabs so nobody’s sneaking off to YouTube mid-lesson.
plus, these tools can be adapted to the student’s own language, if necessary.
So yeah — Google’s not playing it safe with AI in classrooms anymore. They’re walking it in, clipboard in hand, ready to co-teach.
Because honestly? Students are already using AI — and trying to fight it is like yelling at the tide. So why not make it official, structured, and actually useful?
If you’re a teacher, student, or anywhere near the education space — you should probably take a second, serious look at what Google just dropped. 📚✨

🤖 Apple Taps OpenAI and Anthropic to Rescue Its Stalled Siri Upgrade
Remember that smarter, AI-powered version of Siri Apple showed off at WWDC 2024 — the one that was supposed to finally make Siri feel like it actually gets you?
Well... that version just got delayed again — this time, till 2026.
While the delay (and disappointment) isn’t exactly new, what is new is that instead of sticking to the original script, Apple’s pulling a Plan B.
Basically, since building the perfect Siri with its own homegrown AI hasn’t quite worked out (yet), Apple’s now flirting with the idea of teaming up with OpenAI and Anthropic to possibly power Siri’s brain.
Yup, that means ChatGPT or Claude might soon be whispering back when you say, “Hey Siri.”
Here’s the gist: Apple has reportedly asked both companies to train special versions of their models that can run on Apple’s Private Cloud Compute — those are Apple’s privacy-obsessed, ultra-secure servers powered by its own chips.
The idea? Keep everything locked down and secure while borrowing the AI brainpower Siri desperately needs.
Now to be clear, Apple’s not a total stranger to third-party AI.
In fact, ChatGPT already powers parts of Apple Intelligence. But handing over Siri — their OG assistant — to someone else? That’s a huge deal for a company that’s famous for doing everything in-house.
Meanwhile, there’s been some reshuffling behind the scenes.
Siri is now being led by Mike Rockwell (the same guy who led the Apple Vision Pro team)
And Apple’s broader AI strategy has shifted from John Giannandrea (Apple's senior vice president of machine learning and AI strategy) to Craig Federighi (the senior vice president of software engineering)
Translation: new leadership, new energy, new game plan.
So, what can you expect in the meantime?
Apple will still ship a few lighter, AI-adjacent features this fall with the launch of iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26 — just don’t hold your breath for that fully upgraded, mind-reading Siri until 2026.
And hey, if this whole strategy sounds familiar… it should. Samsung’s Galaxy AI already leans on Google’s Gemini, blending its own software with third-party smarts.
So Apple teaming up with outside players? Not unheard of — just fashionably late to the party, as usual.

🤖 ChatGPT Prompt Of The Day: Create a Winning Social Media Campaign from Scratch
Want to make a splash on social media that actually drives results? Don’t just wing it—launch your campaign with a clear strategy, smart content, and a consistent posting plan. Whether you're introducing a brand-new product or promoting a service, a well-designed social media campaign can boost awareness, engagement, and conversions.
That’s where this prompt comes in. It’s your blueprint for success—helping you design a campaign that’s creative, consistent, and goal-focused, turning scrolls into clicks—and clicks into customers.
To Get the Most Out of This Prompt:

Know Your Goals: Are you aiming for brand awareness, lead generation, conversions, or engagement? Define that upfront.
Adapt to Your Platform: Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, or Facebook—each has different strengths. Tailor accordingly.
Set a Timeframe: Is this a 7-day pre-launch push? A 30-day rollout? Define it so the plan fits your schedule.
Ask for Variations: Want different types of content (educational, entertaining, behind-the-scenes)? Ask for it!
Track and Tweak: Use metrics (likes, shares, saves, click-throughs, conversions) to measure performance and adjust as needed.
Here’s the prompt:
Design a comprehensive, platform-specific social media campaign to launch {insert product or service}. The plan should include:
–A suggested campaign duration and timeline (pre-launch, launch, and post-launch phases)
–Ideal posting frequency for each phase, tailored to platforms like Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, or X
–A breakdown of content types (educational, entertaining, promotional, testimonials, behind-the-scenes, user-generated content, etc.)
–Sample captions and creative content ideas that match my brand voice and resonate with my target audience: {describe your audience}
