🏥 ChatGPT is becoming a daily health companion
OpenAI says more than 40 million people now use ChatGPT every day for health advice. Healthcare questions make up over five percent of all global messages. The data shows AI is already woven into how people navigate care.
The Shift:
1. Healthcare use is already mainstream - Over 5% of all ChatGPT messages relate to health, with nearly 50% of users using it to understand medical terms. Another 44% rely on it to learn about treatment options.
Around 70% of health-related chats happen outside clinic hours, highlighting how people turn to AI when doctors, clinics, or support lines are unavailable.
2. Insurance and admin drive heavy use - Users send 1.6–1.9 million insurance-related questions each week. ChatGPT is increasingly used to understand bills, compare plans, and prepare for disputes.
While usage grows, OpenAI faces lawsuits over mental health concerns. The company is also calling for clearer FDA pathways as AI moves closer to regulated care.
Healthcare is already one of AI’s biggest real-world use cases. As millions rely on ChatGPT for everyday health decisions, pressure will rise to balance access, safety, and accountability across platforms, providers, and regulators.

🎬 How to Turn Any Topic Into a Cinematic Story with Veo 3.1
Anything becomes more engaging when it’s told as a story. With Google’s tools, you can turn dry information into cinematic, human narratives in minutes.
How to do it
Write the story with Gemini: Start by reframing your topic as a moment in time. Ask Gemini to write it as a first-person experience, vlog, or scene unfolding in real time.
Build the film in Flow: Paste the script into Flow, Google’s AI filmmaking tool designed specifically for Veo, Imagen, and Gemini. Flow structures scenes, pacing, and continuity automatically.
Generate the video with Veo 3.1: Use Veo 3.1 inside Flow to generate cinematic video with native dialogue, sound effects, ambient audio, realistic lighting, and physics in one pass.
Render and share: Export high-quality video and use it for education, brand storytelling, explainers, or social content.
✨ When ideas feel like stories, people remember them.
🌐 Amazon brings Alexa+ to the browser with Alexa.com
Amazon has rolled out Alexa.com, extending Alexa+ beyond speakers and phones into the browser. The move is about meeting users where they already plan, work, and decide. It marks a clear evolution from voice assistant to everyday AI helper.
The Shift:
1. Alexa becomes truly cross-surface - Alexa.com brings the full Alexa+ experience to the web with persistent context. Conversations, preferences, and tasks carry smoothly between desktop, phone, and home devices.
2. Built to act, not just answer - Alexa+ can shop, manage calendars, control smart homes, upload documents, and make reservations. Integrations with Expedia, Yelp, Angi, Square, Uber, and OpenTable turn chat into real-world action.
3. Usage shows growing pull - Amazon says Alexa+ users now have twice the conversations, make three times more purchases, and request recipes five times more often. Alexa is becoming part of daily routines, not just an occasional tool.
With Alexa.com and a chat-first mobile redesign, Amazon is repositioning Alexa as a full AI agent. Despite the Anthropic angle, Alexa’s advantage is distribution across hundreds of millions of devices, giving Amazon one of the few AI assistants people already use at scale.

Why AI Isn’t Replacing Affiliate Marketing After All
“AI will make affiliate marketing irrelevant.”
Our research shows the opposite.
Shoppers use AI to explore options, but they trust creators, communities, and reviews before buying. With less than 10 percent clicking AI links, affiliate content now shapes both conversions and AI recommendations.
