AI-Powered App Creation
Nothing’s new Essential Apps Builder lets users generate functional apps and widgets by writing what they want, without any coding required, turning ideas into working tools on the phone’s home screen.Beta Quality and Limitations
While simple widgets like water trackers and calendar views worked okay, more complex apps (like shopping lists or Pomodoro timers) struggled with consistency and usefulness in testing.Limited Support and Scope
The builder currently only supports limited widget sizes (e.g., 2×2 and 4×2) and functions tied to specific phone features such as location, calendar, and contacts.AI Native UX Meets Practical Gaps
Reviewers praise the ambition of “vibe coding” translating plain language into software but note a real usability gap driven by people not yet knowing how to prompt effectively.Future Potential
Nothing plans to expand device support, enlarge widget sizes, and add more features as the platform matures, pointing toward a future where everyday users can tailor tools to their needs.

Ads Are Coming to ChatGPT for Free and Go Users
Ad Testing Rolling Out
OpenAI has begun testing advertisements in ChatGPT for adult users on the Free tier and the $8/month Go subscription in the United States, marking the first time ads appear directly in the chatbot.Separate and Clearly Labeled
Ads show up as “sponsored” content visually separated from the AI’s responses, and they don’t change or influence the answers the chatbot provides.Privacy Protections in Place
Advertisers do not get access to personal conversations or chat histories; only aggregate performance data like views and clicks is shared.User Control and Options
Users can dismiss ads, manage personalization settings, and delete ad data. Free users may also opt out of ads at the cost of fewer daily messages.Exclusions and Safeguards
Ads won’t be shown to accounts predicted to belong to minors, nor appear alongside sensitive or regulated topics like health, mental health, or politics during this testing phase.
