Welcome Automaters!
So… ChatGPT just got roasted by one of its own.
An ex-OpenAI researcher dropped receipts on a delusional spiral that lasted weeks — featuring a user convinced they’d uncovered world-changing math (thanks to ChatGPT).
And the chat? Longer than the entire Harry Potter series. (Seriously.) It’s scary, it's weird, it’s wild, and it’s absolutely worth the read.
Here's what we have for you today
💵 AI Spending 2025: The Tools Startups and Enterprises Actually Pay For

Here’s the thing: consumer hype gets the headlines, but it’s enterprise adoption that decides whether AI thrives or stalls out.
And this week, Andreessen Horowitz (aka a16z) dropped its first-ever AI Spending Report, giving us a peek at which tools are winning wallets, not just attention.
Spoiler: it’s not just the usual suspects… there are some surprises too.
At the top of the list (no surprise here): OpenAI reigns supreme, with Anthropic right behind. But after them? Coding copilots are making serious noise:
Replit snagged the #3 spot
Cursor landed in the top 10
Lovable isn’t far behind
Clearly, startups want helpers that supercharge coding… or at least make debugging feel a little less soul-crushing.

What’s fascinating is how sticky copilots are across the board. Think of them like digital sidekicks that help workers move faster without replacing them outright. According to a16z partner Seema Amble, we’re still firmly in the “copilot era.”
Translation: companies aren’t ready to hand the wheel to full-blown AI agents just yet. But when that tech levels up? The spending landscape could flip fast.
And guess who else is crashing the enterprise party? Consumer apps.
Yep, the same tools folks used for fun projects (think CapCut, MidJourney, Canva) are sneaking into offices and startup stacks. It’s the classic bottom-up adoption play where employees bring in what they love, and suddenly the line between consumer and enterprise blurs.
The report also highlights just how fragmented the market still is. Note-taking apps like Otter, Read AI, HappyScribe are all in the mix. But there’s no single ruler of the note-taking throne—yet.
Zooming out: around 60% of spending is going to horizontal apps (broad productivity tools), while 40% goes to vertical plays like sales, recruiting, and customer service. Even legal tech is catching fire—startups like Crosby Legal can now review contracts in minutes, replacing what used to be hours of billable time with a single click.
The Big Takeaway
Enterprise adoption is a very important pinnacle AI must attain. Consumer buzz is fun, but the real spending power will come from businesses weaving AI into their daily workflows.
Right now, that spending is diverse, experimental, and steadily growing—at least in the startup world.
But let’s not forget: today’s hot app could be tomorrow’s flop. Or, in classic AI fashion, something wildly more advanced could pop up overnight. Either way, signals point toward AI becoming a staple, but the pace/timing is still very uncertain.
That said, we’re still in the early innings. Most of this data is startup-heavy, so it doesn’t fully map onto the Fortune 500 crowd—where adoption tends to be slower, more careful, and way less experimental. So yep, this is one space we’ll be watching closely.

🦾 Google’s AI Coding Agent Jules Gets CLI and API Upgrade

So, remember Google’s AI coding agent Jules? The one chilling on GitHub and a website?
Well, Jules just packed its bags and moved straight into developer workflows. And honestly? Power move.
Here’s what’s new:
Google launched Jules tools, a command-line interface and a public API. That means developers can now call Jules directly from their terminal, CI/CD pipelines, or even Slack — without bouncing between tabs like they're juggling ten side quests.
Now, Google already has Gemini CLI, so why bother with Jules? Think of it like this:
Gemini is that chatty teammate who wants a brainstorming session.
Jules? More like the coworker who takes your task list, says “got it,” and delivers.
Clean, scoped, less small talk.
And with the API open, devs can hack Jules into IDEs like VS Code or spin up their own integrations. Plus, Google’s been stacking features, including: memory to recall past work, cleaner diff views, PR comment handling.
But the real tea? Google is quietly nudging Jules beyond GitHub, testing how AI agents can live anywhere — not just tied to one repo. And with Copilot, Claude, and others fighting for a spot in devs’ daily grind, the race is getting spicy.
Right now, Jules is free for 15 individual tasks and three concurrent tasks a day
And yes, Google’s hyping plenty more features—so if you think this might be your thing, check out the details here.

🤖 ChatGPT Prompt Of The Day: Create a Talking Avatar with Heygen + ChatGPT
AI avatars aren’t just fun—they’re powerful tools for business, education, and content creation.
With Heygen, you can clone yourself (or create a digital persona), and with ChatGPT, you can give that avatar a natural, engaging voice. Together, they let you build a talking digital version of yourself that can explain, teach, sell, or entertain—without needing to film every time.
Here’s How:
Step 1: Set Up in Heygen
Sign up for Heygen: Create an account. (Tip: Try the free plan first—it comes with solid features, though limited.)
Choose “Avatar 3.0”: This version generates the most realistic avatars.
Record a training video: Upload 2–5 minutes of yourself speaking naturally. Also:
Look directly at the camera.
Use a neutral background + good lighting.
Speak clearly, pausing between sentences.
Submit a consent video: Required for identity verification (prevents misuse).
Wait for processing: Heygen will create your avatar.
Create your first video:
Go to “Create Video.”
Pick your avatar.
Enter a script or upload audio.
Choose a voice (built-in or external cloning).
Preview, check lip sync, then export.
Add multiple looks (optional): Upload extra clips in different outfits/settings for versatility (up to 100 looks).
Step 2: Where ChatGPT Comes In
Scriptwriting: Use ChatGPT to draft natural, engaging scripts your avatar will need
Voice & Personality: Shape tone, humor, or brand voice with prompts.
Interactive Mode: Instead of pre-written lines, ChatGPT can generate live responses (think Q&A avatars, virtual presenters, or customer support bots).
💡 Prompt to try:
Write a narration-style script for a podcast or voiceover. The script should feel conversational, engaging, and paced for listening. Include cues for pauses, emphasis, or background effects. The topic is [insert topic], and the tone should be [friendly/educational/storytelling]. The script should last approximately [insert duration].
