📱 Podcasts in WhatsApp

Hey folks,

ChatGPT just added a feature users have been begging for: branching. Now you can take a conversation and spin it off into a new direction without losing the original thread. It’s like having save points in a video game to try one path, rewind, then test another, all without copy-pasting prompts into a fresh chat. Give it a try.

🤖 China’s DeepSeek Preps Its First AI Agent for Launch This Year

🐝 The Buzz: Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, fresh off the success of its R1 model, is reportedly getting ready to debut a full-fledged AI agent by the end of 2025. Unlike today’s chatbots, this one is built to act on instructions, handle multi-step tasks, and even learn as it goes.

• Agent, not chatbot: DeepSeek says this new system will move beyond text responses into autonomous workflows like research, planning, and execution without constant human prompts.

• Under the hood: The current V3.1 model already runs in dual modes, “think” and “non-think” hinting at the architecture needed for agentic AI.

• Rising competition: With OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google all racing toward agents, DeepSeek’s entry signals China is competing strongly.

💡 Takeaway: DeepSeek’s upcoming agent marks a shift from AI that chats to AI that does. If it delivers, the line between assistant and autonomous coworker could blur faster than we expect.

🌐 OpenAI Takes On LinkedIn with Jobs Platform

🐝 The Buzz: OpenAI just announced its entry into the recruiting game. Say hello to the OpenAI Jobs Platform, an AI-powered hiring tool set to debut by mid-2026 and it's targeting recruiters, AI-savvy applicants, local businesses, and even local governments. In parallel, OpenAI’s launching certification programs through its Academy, aiming to skill up 10 million Americans by 2030.

• Matchmaking with muscle: OpenAI’s platform won’t be a standard job board, it uses AI to align real business needs with candidate skills, going beyond resumes to deliver smarter, faster matches, even for smaller or local organizations.

• Certifications that count: Through the OpenAI Academy, candidates can earn credentials in AI fundamentals, prompt engineering, and more advanced workflows. It’s a large-scale attempt to standardize AI fluency in the workforce.

• A real challenge to LinkedIn: Microsoft-backed LinkedIn now faces competition from its major investor’s product. OpenAI’s move into jobs and certifications risks redefining how professional platforms are built and how people are hired.

💡 Takeaway: With AI reshaping jobs on both sides of the interview table, OpenAI’s hire-ready platform and formal certifications could become the go-to solution for modern staffing needs. LinkedIn is soon up against the maker of the most advanced AI.
