We’re absolutely thrilled about GPT-4! This is a huge leap forward in natural language processing and will have so many applications and benefits for society. It has fewer errors, better writing skills, more interaction with images, a higher word limit, and supports more languages with high accuracy.

📄🤖 Google Adds New Generative AI features to its Workspace Suite
The AI war is heating up as Google just announced the implementation of new generative AI features to their Workspace suite, powered by the latest language model from OpenAI. This means that Docs, Gmail, Sheets, Meet, and Chat are now even more powerful, allowing users to draft, reply, summarize, and prioritize emails, create slides with auto-generated images, audio, and video, and generate charts and formulas in Sheets.
