  2. OpenAI claims Sora’s adoption has outpaced ChatGPT’s early growth trajectory, even though Sora is invite-only initially. 

  3. Users can scroll through a feed of AI-generated videos and create their own using the Sora 2 model; the app also supports a “cameos” feature that inserts a user’s likeness into videos. 

  4. As of now, Sora is only available in the United States and Canada. 

  5. The app has already faced criticism for facilitating the creation of copyrighted or brand-sensitive content. OpenAI is responding by giving rights holders more control and improving moderation and over-moderation fixes.

Insight: Microsoft Expands Copilot for Windows - Now Creates Documents & Links to Gmail

  1. Document Creation Built Into Chat Interface

    Users can now have Copilot on Windows produce Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint slides, and PDFs directly from prompts, eliminating the need to switch to separate apps. 

  2. Seamless Export For Longer Responses

    For replies of 600 or more characters, Copilot includes a default “export” button letting users send text into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF formats easily. 

  3. Gmail & Outlook Integration (Opt-In Connectors)

    Copilot can now connect to Gmail or Outlook (and associated services like Google Drive, Calendar, Contacts, and OneDrive) so it can surface emails, invoices, and contacts, but linking is voluntary and requires user permission. 

  4. Use Cases Include Email-Based Search & Contact Lookup

    With the account integrations, you could ask Copilot to “find all invoices from X in my inbox” or “fetch the email address for contact Y.” 

  5. Rollout Via Windows Insider First, Before General Release

    The updated Copilot features are initially being made available to Windows Insiders; a broader rollout to all Windows 11 users is expected afterward.
