AI Rolls Into WhatsApp
In partnership with Cluely, the controversial AI startup once banned at Columbia, just raised $15 million to help people “cheat on everything” in real time. It slips into a hidden browser window, hears and sees what you do, and feeds you AI-generated answers during interviews, exams and calls without detection. Despite ethical backlash, Cluely claims hundreds of thousands of users and significant revenue. Roy Lee, the founder, argues this isn’t cheating but it’s the next step in the AI evolution.
This begs the question: if AI can cheat faster and possibly better than us, what happens to authenticity... or even fairness?
WhatsApp's New AI Features
WhatsApp is rolling out a suite of AI tools that actually do the writing. These features pop up right where you chat, helping with tone, creativity, and even message summary.
Forward‑to‑Meta AI: You’ll now find Meta AI in the recipient list when forwarding messages, images, or videos in chats. Send it a photo and ask, “Is this real?” or “What’s happening here?” and get context-aware replies right in WhatsApp.
AI Text Rewriter: A new pencil icon appears in the message box. Tap it to rewrite your words in styles like “funny,” “sarcastic,” “shorter,” or “proofread.” Think of spelling fixes, tone tweaks, or even pun-loaded dad jokes.
AI‑Generated Wallpapers & Stickers: In the upcoming “AI” tab, you can auto-create custom chat backgrounds or stickers by typing simple descriptions. It’s quick, creative, and integrated across the app.
For casual users: Want to sound snappier? Let the AI sharpen your tone or sprinkle in humor. Tack on a personalized wallpaper or sticker to match the vibe.
For businesses & creators: Forward client queries to Meta AI for fast sorting or summarization without jumping between apps. Polish outgoing texts professionally. Generate visuals tailored to your brand right in chat.
WhatsApp’s next update turns it into more than a messaging app, it’s a built-in creative assistant. Whether it’s rewriting your texts, auto-generating designs, or giving context through Meta AI, it’s working smarter. Keep an eye out for these features which are heading from beta into your next update.

The Buzz
OpenAI just rolled out a “Record Mode” that captures, transcribes, and summarizes your meetings complete with clickable timestamps, right inside ChatGPT. It’s live for ChatGPT Team on macOS now.
Record Mode Rolls In: Hit the record button in your ChatGPT desktop app, and it captures up to 120 minutes of audio, no separate tools required.
Summary with Timestamps: Once the meeting wraps, ChatGPT serves up a concise summary plus links that jump you to exact spots in the transcript.
Privacy by Design: Audio is auto-deleted right after transcription, so your sensitive discussions don’t stick around any longer than they need to.
Takeaway: If your calendar’s crowded with Zooms and Teams calls, Record Mode is a nice sidekick and great option compared to Zoom or Google Meets recordings. For now, Mac-only power users get the perks first, but everyone else will catch up soon. Time to let ChatGPT handle the minutiae while you focus on leading the convo.
