🔮 OpenAI’s CPO on building at the cutting edge

In today’s live show I spoke with Kevin Weil, CPO of OpenAI, just moments after he announced a range of new features including enterprise connectors and meeting recordings.We discussed:* ChatGPT now ingests Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Dropbox, Box, SharePoint and OneDrive data, while new agents summarise docs, run multi-step research and commit code.* GPT-4o becomes the default; GPT-5 is on the runway to fold frontier abilities into one workhorse.* Eval-driven loops let product and research teams convert desired skills into benchmarks, then ship them straight to users.* AI-generated code could expand the pool from 30 million to a billion developers, unlocking personalised software everywhere.* Startup playbook: build where models are almost good enough and your product improves when the next model lands; avoid businesses that patch current weaknesses.* Sir Jony Ive is designing dedicated hardware because phones restrict power, microphones and ambient presence.* Opting out will soon feel like refusing a smartphone; keeping frontier models under liberal institutions is strategically vital.Enjoy!📅 Catch me live every Friday at 9am PT | 12pm ET | 5pm UK.
