AI News: Big Claude & ChatGPT Updates, Grok Bot Jarvis Leak & More

0:00 We have some big updates this week from both Claude and Chatbt. Claude Co-work and Chat now have a shared memory. Co-work now has its own built-in browser. Chatbt can now build

0:09 automations via specific app triggers. And Grockbot might be getting a voice mode that turns it into a real life Jarvis. We're going to break that all down in this video. I do these episodes

0:18 every single week breaking down all of the product updates and news that you need to be aware of. My goal is to make it as simple and to the point as possible so you can stay up to date

0:27 without feeling overwhelmed. So without further ado, let's dive right in. Claude now has a built-in browser directly inside of co-work. This is something that we had previously inside of Claude

0:38 Code already. And this is something that we have inside of Codeex as well if you're using the OpenAI ecosystem. So this isn't necessarily reinventing the wheel, but this is powerful if you are a

0:47 co-work user. So let's dive into why I'm enjoying this right now. Now, let's quickly break down this article that Anthropic released cuz there is a little bit of nuance here. And then after that,

0:56 I'm going to show a demo of this live in action and show how you could set this up inside of your Claude desktop app as well. Claude now has a browser built into Claude Co-work on the desktop app.

1:06 When a task needs to use a website, a browser opens in the side panel and Claude navigates web pages, reads them, clicks, and type. You can now hand off the web part of the task and stay where

1:16 you are. Because before, if we wanted to do this, we would have to use the Claude in Chrome extension, as you could see right here. And up at the top inside of my browser, you could see that Claude

1:25 actually has its own designated tabs it's working inside of. For me personally, this is a pain. I don't like using the Claudin Chrome extension simply because is actually using my

1:34 browser. And most of the time, it doesn't necessarily need my particular browser. It just needs a browser to do it. So, this then solves that problem. Now, this is pretty interesting if we do

1:43 want to use co-work on the go. So, the built-in browser lives in the desktop app from the web or your phone, Claude can still drive it as long as your desktop app is open and online. So, if

1:53 we want to have access to this Claude browser inside of Claude Co-work, we can access it on our phone from our mobile app, but we just need to make sure our computer is open in order for it to go

2:02 and do it for us. Now, enough talking about it. Let's dive into the desktop app and show exactly how to turn this on and how it works. In order to toggle this on, you're going to come down to

2:11 your account here. So, I'm going to go and click on my name. Then we're going to go up to settings. Now from there on the lefth hand sidebar, make sure to scroll down to co-work and then scroll

2:19 down a little bit more and then you're going to see this new section here that says preferred browser. There are two different ways we can configure this. Either we could use the claudin chrome

2:27 extension like I was talking about earlier or we could use the built-in browser which is obviously what we want to toggle on. Then I'm just going to come here and say, "Hey, I want you to

2:35 go and look on my YouTube channel. I want you to show the last two videos that I posted and give me the average views." And the reason I'm giving it that prompt is because there's no way

2:44 for Claude Co-work to go and search my YouTube without it literally using a browser and pulling it up and visually looking at it. So now it should pull up the new browser directly inside of

2:53 Co-work in order to navigate this. And here we go. You can see that it now pulled up this little browser on the right hand side. I'm just going to click always allow for this website. And then

3:01 as you can see, it shows that we could stay signed in to our specific sites. So I'm going to import these cookies here. So that way it's automatically going to pull from my browser and stay signed in.

3:10 And this is interesting. We could choose which sites that we want to bring over. So let's say I don't want to have access to Stripe or Yahoo. I can make sure to not toggle those on. So make sure to

3:19 just import all the sites that you do want to allow Claude to have signin access to. All right. So now you can see that the browser is open. It's navigating my YouTube channel and it's

3:28 basically going to go and look at the average views of the last two videos. not a super complex task, but you could just see in action how this operates. So, it was able to pull up the data here

3:38 as you could see. And then another cool part is I could always come here and just use this browser myself. So, let's say I want to come to YouTube and watch a video for example, I could do this

3:46 directly inside of this browser inside of Claude Co-work. Now, another interesting thing that I saw today on Twitter is this leak right here. This is not an official release from Grockbot,

3:55 but it looks like they are rolling out a voice call that eventually we're going to be able to use inside of Grockbot. So, what exactly does this mean? Inside of this leaked screenshot, you can see

4:05 there is now a button with headphones to where we could actually start a voice call with our different Grockbot agents that we create. Now, if you aren't familiar with Grockbot, this is a new

4:15 interface and a way to interact with different AI agents. This is a new product from Cursor, which was just acquired by SpaceX a couple of months ago. And as of right now, there is no

4:23 way to interact with these agents via voice. But how cool would it be to simply call up one of your agents and have it go perform tasks for you, speak with other agents, etc. Again, this is

4:33 just a rumor, but if this were to be released, this does kind of feel like Jarvis that we could use inside of our business or for whatever use cases we are using Grockbot for. I think this is

4:42 particularly interesting because we are going to transition into a new way to interface with AI and technology and that is going to be done via voice. Now, I've been absolutely loving Rockbot. So,

4:52 I think if they add a voice functionality to this, it's going to be a game-changing feature for me personally. So, that way I don't need to go and manually go between my different

5:00 agents. Cuz right now, I have probably about like six or seven different agents that I use every single day. But, if I could just speak with my main agent over a phone call or just a voice

5:08 conversation, that would be amazing. Next up, we have Claude Memory 2.0. And this is really big if you're a co-work user because Enthropic just added memory to Claude Co-work and merged it with

5:19 chat. So, what exactly does that mean? We now have one memory across Claude Co-work in chat mode. So, that way we could do less reexplaining every single time that we pick up where we left off.

5:29 On top of that, we could see and edit any of the saved memories that we have across either co-work and chat mode. So, in order to show you exactly what I mean, let's come into my Claw desktop

5:38 app. I'm then going to click on my settings. And then, if I come inside of here at the very bottom, you can now see we have a memory customization button. And inside of here, we have a couple of

5:48 different memories saved. And these are all specific to different categories. So, it shows my preferences. It shows different topics, whether that's clothing, my school community, finances,

5:56 fitness, photography. Basically, all these different categories now have memories. And what I could do is I can click on a specific memory and I could change this. So, for example, if I want

6:06 to change something in this given memory, I could just come here and say, I prefer my hoodies to be slightly oversized. And then what it's going to do is simply just update this memory

6:14 here. It's very simple. Now, let's test this out in order to see if Claude does have memory on this. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to come over to a new chat and I'm just going to say, "Do you

6:21 know how I like my hoodies? Do I like them more fit or do I like them more oversized?" So, it recalled this memory here that it went and saved. And then it shows that I like my hoodies slightly

6:31 oversized like I just told it. Now, the cool part is obviously this is inside of Clawude chat mode, but if I come into co-work, it's also going to work the exact same. So, I could say, "Hey, how

6:41 do I like my hoodies?" And here we go. the same exact answer that we got inside of chat mode. So, this solves a problem that we previously had where if we were inside of Cloud Co-work, it had a

6:50 separate memory from chat mode. We don't need to worry about that now. They're saved between each other as well as we could go and edit any of the memories that we have. Or if we don't want a

6:58 memory in there and it's like confidential information, we could always come inside of here and delete that memory as well. Now, if you're using any of these agents like Claude

7:06 Code, Cowwork, Codeex, or even Grockbot, they are all powerful, but they are limited to the apps that they can natively connect to. For example, if you come into Grockbot and you come to the

7:16 plugins, I have 16 different plugins or apps connected here, and I could scroll through a list of the different apps that they have that natively integrate with Grockbot. Well, let's say there's

7:25 an app we want to connect to, but we don't see it here. I'm going to show you a hack that will solve that. We could use something called the Zapier MCP in order to connect to 9,000 plus different

7:34 apps, even if they're not already inside of Claude Co-work, Codeex, or Grockbox. And it's very simple to do. So, let me show you exactly how it works. First of all, you're going to come to

7:43 zapier.com/mcp. There will be a link in the description to sign up. Once you have an account, from here, you just need to create an MCP server. So, I already have one

7:51 configured with a bunch of different apps that I have connected. For example, I have Beehive connected. I have School connected. These are different apps that I can't connect to inside of Grockbot or

8:01 Co-work. So, if I want to be able to see what's going on inside of my email marketing platform called Beehive, Zap Your MCP is a perfect workaround in order to plug this into any of the

8:10 agents I'm using. It's as simple as just clicking add app, find the app you want to connect to, select all the tools, and add them. Next, in order to connect this to my agent, I'm just going to come

8:19 inside of Grockbot and show you this as an example. I'm going to come over to plugins and then just going to search up Zapier. Then, I'm going to click add. And just like that, any of the apps that

8:28 we configured inside of the MCP server, we can now use inside of Grockbot. I can almost guarantee if you are using AI agents, this is going to level up the capabilities of them. And it's very

8:37 simple to use. All right, so this next product release is one that's probably long overdue, and that is that ChatVT now lets you connect to multiple Gmail accounts with inside of one Gmail

8:47 plugin. So what this means is if you have a personal Gmail inbox and you have a specific one for business or something, you can now add both of those email addresses. So you could read your

8:57 emails, sort through them, create inbox triage automations, and even draft and send emails for you. So let me show you exactly how to add multiple accounts. Now, so first of all, I'm inside of the

9:07 Chatbt desktop app, and if you come over to the lefth hand side, you're going to see this little submen called plugins. Just click on this. And I already have my Gmail configured. So if you don't

9:17 have yours configured, go ahead and do so. Now, what I'm going to do is I'm going to scroll down to where it says connected accounts. As you can see here, I already have my personal Gmail inbox

9:25 connected. And all I need to do is click connect another account. Click continue to Gmail. It's then going to bring me to this login page and just log into any of the emails that you want to log into.

9:35 Next, I just need to sign into OpenI with the specific email address. So, I'm just going to click continue. I'm going to click on allow so it could read, compose, and send emails on my behalf.

9:44 And I'm just going to click this open chatbt button. And now, just like that, it added my sponsorships atbrockers.com email address. I'm just going to give this a nickname and just call this

9:52 sponsorships email. Click save. And now we have multiple of these configured. We can go ahead and add a couple more as well. I don't know how many OpenAI is capping this out at, but imagine being

10:03 able to add 10 different email addresses in order to pull all of the relevant information from those emails every single day. I think this is going to be a really interesting feature and useful

10:12 for people that manage multiple inboxes. And if I had to guess, Enthropic is probably working on rolling out something very similar to Claude because it seems like once ChatBT releases a

10:21 feature or vice versa, Enthropic drops something, the other company will just release that within a couple of weeks, it seems. Next up, we have a new update to chatbt and specifically chatbt work.

10:31 And I find this one really interesting. So, let's break this down. Basically, we can now create scheduled tasks inside of chatbt work that not only run on a schedule. So, at a specific given time

10:41 of the day, but we can now turn them into automations. So, whenever something happens in one of your applications, it can then run that scheduled task. So, what does this look like? Let me break

10:50 that down right now. Let's come into chatbt and I'm just going to toggle on work. And from here, what I'm going to do is I'm just going to say, "Hey, I want you to create a scheduled task

10:59 where whenever I get an email in my Gmail that seems like it's a sponsorship inquiry, it automatically pings my team on Slack in the channel called sponsorships." [music] Now, here we go.

11:09 It automatically created this automation for me. And it said, "Whenever a new Gmail appears to be a genuine sponsorship or brand inquiry, I will post a concise summary in Slack's

11:18 sponsorship channel." And then on the right, we can now see we have this scheduled task that shows this little tag called monitoring. So let me go ahead and click on this to show you what

11:27 it looks like. So first of all, we have the Gmail trigger has a specific condition event right here. Then it has this prompt breaking down exactly how we want this scheduled task or monitoring

11:37 task to work. Now, in order to test this out, I went and sent a fake email to my personal email address. And what I should be seeing is a new message in that Slack channel. All right, and here

11:46 we go. That new email actually just populated in the Slack channel. So now it shows the sender information, subject, opportunity, and even tags the email thread right here. So the moral of

11:55 the story is we can now create scheduled tasks from specific triggers inside of chatbt work. Now here are a couple of examples that you could use the new chatbt triggered automations for. Just

12:06 so you can get a sense of what this is capable of for yourself and we don't need to use something like end now for these more basic use cases. We can now just have chatbt natively do this for

12:15 us. So, for example, a trigger could be when a new email comes in from a client, it could then automatically draft the email reply. Whenever we get a new message in a Slack channel, it could

12:25 automatically summarize the thread for us and send it to us in chatbt inside of GitHub. Whenever there is a pull request open, it could go and review the code or we could even run a scheduled task like

12:35 we've been able to do for a while where every single morning at a given time, it will automatically give you a briefing in your inbox. As of right now, this only works inside of Gmail, Slack, and

12:45 GitHub. It's limited to those applications, but I could imagine this will roll out to other apps over a period of time. Now, I do need to specify that for some reason this is

12:53 only available on the web app in the mobile app. It is not on the desktop app right now. So, in order to access all of your scheduled tasks, you could come over to the lefth hand side, click on

13:02 scheduled, and then there's a couple of different things that you'll see. For this one, I have the monitoring sponsorship email alerts set up. And I could go here. I could edit this

13:10 directly if I want to make changes to this, etc. Now, I do want to say I bet Anthropic is going to roll out the same thing for Claude and Claude Co-work probably over the coming weeks. So, keep

13:19 an eye out for that. And there we have it. That is the AI news of the week. If you guys enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe. I'm going to be releasing these every single Friday to break down

13:27 everything you need to know in the fastmoving AI space without all the hype you'll see from other creators on YouTube. Thanks for staying to the end, and I'll see you in the next video.

13:34 Cheers.
