1. OpenAI announces agent mode for ChatGPT Atlas: Agent mode enables ChatGPT to take action on your behalf within Atlas, OpenAI’s web browser. This new feature can help you research topics, shop online, book appointments, and more. Agent mode is currently in preview for Plus, Pro, and Business users. Watch it in action here.

2: Amazon attributes layoffs to organizational structure, not AI: CEO Andy Jassy recently clarified that the decision to cut 14,000 jobs was due to culture, stating that Amazon had become too layered to make decisions quickly. The clarification may help ease concerns about widespread AI-driven workforce displacement.

3. Perplexity secures Getty partnership and launches new features: The AI search startup announced a multi-year licensing deal to access Getty’s extensive image library. Perplexity also introduced a new patent research agent and a commercial flight tracking feature. See the flight tracker in action here.

We know the stats: 95% of companies never see an ROI on their AI investment. The reason is simple:

They’re forced to commit before they can test. We think that’s stupid.

And since we have 127% Net Revenue Retention after POCs, we figured we could try someone a bit unique.

For enterprise readers on Superhuman – we’re suggesting a short term pilot – so you can try Bland’s Voice AI to prove it drives ROI. If you’d like to test before committing, you can get a pilot started for you today.

And for SMBs — you can give it a call for free now.

FROM THE FRONTIER

Big tech’s earnings season just delivered one clear message

Big tech just delivered its quarterly report card — and we got a very clear signal of what's coming next.

The main theme from earnings season? Robust revenue growth paired with a continued commitment to AI spending. Alphabet delivered its first-ever $100 billion quarter, Amazon posted its strongest cloud growth in three years, and Microsoft's revenue climbed 18% to nearly $78 billion.

The spending spree continues. Strong financial results have reinforced — rather than tempered — most companies' appetite for AI investment. Large tech companies are reportedly set to spend $400 billion on AI-related investments this year on initiatives like training models, developing new tools, and building infrastructure. Some companies say it’s still not enough to meet demand.

Early ROI on AI spending. This earnings season also helped answer a major question: Are companies actually making money from AI? So far, it seems like a yes. Google CFO Anat Ashkenazi stated that the tech giant is “generating billions of dollars from AI,” while Amazon CEO Andy Jassy noted that AI “drives meaningful improvements in every corner of our business.”

For now, the message is clear. The AI arms race shows no sign of slowing down. Companies are continuing to invest aggressively and have strong conviction that building AI infrastructure today will determine positioning for the next decade. Wall Street, for its part, appears willing to support this bet — at least for now.
