OpenAI will merge the Chat and Work tabs in ChatGPT
OpenAI emailed users that it will merge the Chat and Work tabs in the ChatGPT desktop app, first for select users. TechCrunch reports ChatGPT and the Codex coding tool will share one usage allowance, which OpenAI says will not affect most users, though some may wait for resets more often.
Why it matters: If your office leans on the ChatGPT desktop app for quotes and replies, OpenAI says some people may wait for usage resets more often once the allowance is shared.

Why it matters: If you draft quotes or price lists with Gemini, Google says you can now preview and edit the file right in the chat on the web.

Chrome can fill in web forms using details from your Gmail
TechCrunch reports Chrome can suggest details from your Gmail, like order numbers, tracking information and addresses, when you fill in a form. It is rolling out to US users on desktop and in Gemini in Chrome on iOS and Android, and you can turn it on or off in settings.
Why it matters: If Chrome on the office computer is signed in to the business Gmail, check this setting, because details from that inbox could be offered as form suggestions.

Why it matters: If you pay for Grok Bot to help with office work, your weekly limit may run out sooner, and Musk has not said what the new limits are.
