Welcome back, Superhuman. More and more people are relying on ChatGPT and AI tools for financial guidance, despite OpenAI warning users not to do so. A UK survey found that 40% of respondents had used AI tools to get financial guidance. Investors are hopping on the bandwagon too; some find that chatbots like ChatGPT do a decent job of replicating workflows from more expensive tools like Bloomberg Terminal.

Today: 365 Copilot gets Claude, learn how to create AI visuals with Pippit, and get the latest prompts, headlines, and trending social posts.

1. Microsoft adds Claude to 365 Copilot: Users can now switch between OpenAI and Anthropic’s models in Researcher or when building agents in Copilot Studio. A new “Try Claude” button lets users tap Opus 4.1 for deep reasoning tasks, while Sonnet 4 handles routine and content-heavy work. Studio users can mix models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and others in Azure’s catalog. See it in action here.

2. Nvidia strikes AI deal with Alibaba: The Chinese e-commerce giant will integrate Nvidia’s Physical AI tools into its cloud platform to simulate 3D environments for robotics, self-driving cars, and smart factories. This comes as China’s regulators reportedly ordered firms like Alibaba to halt purchases of Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D chips. The deal signals Alibaba’s focus on building out its AI business further alongside its main e-commerce business.

3. Neon Mobile lets people sell their data to AI companies: The app is reportedly offering up to $30/day to record user conversations and sell the audio to AI companies. Neon claims it only captures your side of the call, but its terms grant “worldwide, exclusive, irrevocable” rights to use recordings however it wants. The app just climbed to second spot on Apple’s Social Networking app charts.

FROM THE FRONTIER

How Nano Banana took over the internet and shot Gemini to the top of the app charts

Ever wondered why DeepMind’s viral new image model is called “Nano Banana”? We spoke with DeepMind’s Naina Raisinghani (Product Manager) and Philipp Lippe (Senior Research Scientist) to get the real story behind Nano Banana’s enormous success.

Speed is everything. Nano Banana generates high-quality images in 2-6 seconds — faster than the typical 20–60 seconds for most models. According to Lippe, waiting a minute for an image “breaks down the whole interaction, and user satisfaction definitely goes down.” Algorithmic improvements make this leap possible.

Consistency unlocks creativity. The model has generated over 5B images in less than a month and keeps facial features, expressions, and character details consistent across scenarios. Users can reimagine themselves, family, or pets in new contexts — taking a “family trip to Paris without actually having been there” or seeing “what you would look like on a 90s sitcom.” People also use it for personal photo shoots and restoring old family photos.

Reasoning enables smarter edits. Unlike previous models, Nano Banana can reason about input images. Users can upload a Google Maps screenshot and ask it to “imagine this scene from the point of view of a person standing there,” and it generates that perspective. Gemini’s “world knowledge” opens use cases that were previously impossible.

People are using it for work, too. The action figure trend captured social media, but professional applications gained traction as well. Developers use it for virtual try-ons, interior design tools, and advertising workflows. As Raisinghani puts it, it’s becoming “your stylist, your interior decorator, and your collaborator.”

So why is it called “Nano Banana“? According to Raisinghani, the name was chosen just for fun because it perfectly captures the model’s playful creativity.

Midjourney Prompt: Vertical magazine advertisement. A pure white fabric is gently unfolded, and beneath it appears a road map with highways, small towns and green forest areas, realistic and elegant. Two hands gently unfolding the fabric. The fabric merges seamlessly into the map, forming a graceful road. On the road: a realistic white Yutong coach bus and a few vivid realistic blue cars, life-size proportions, integrated naturally into the scene, not toy-like.
