1/ I'm joining @OpenAI to lead Creator Product after over 13 years since starting @Patreon. Coming with me are my favorite crew Drew Rowny and Shannon Ma, Patreon's (now former) Head of Product and Head of Engineering. We're going to build together with Creators at OpenAI and share early access to a new set of tools that I think will be critically valuable to Creators and their communities.

We built this in partnership with American Express, Mastercard, and Visa -- planning to share some interesting (fun?) use cases with wallet in combo with your dot in the next few days 😁
Now your dot can securely complete purchases on your behalf—with your approval. With ChatGPT Wallet, agents pay without access to your actual card details. Every purchase requires a security check. ChatGPT Wallet is rolling out starting today to dots, for Pro subscribers in the US. openai.com/index/introducing…

the team has been laser-focused on making dots significantly faster and more reliable. some updates in the latest app release… - you can now reply to your dot inline from a notification on iOS - share anything directly to your dot in iOS - open your dot from the iPhone Action button - faster loading when you tap in from a notification - gmail links deeplink to the exact email inside the gmail app

Just released the ability to text your dot — even over iMessage — which means you can also do things like send a voice memo when you’re on the go, take a photo and text it, share your location if you’re on iPhone, or just send off a request without opening ChatGPT. Feels oddly different when texting your dot to manage things — I think it has to do with interfacing where you’re talking to other people.
By popular request, you can now text your dot. Give it a task to take off your plate or something to keep an eye on, using text, photos, or even voice notes. It will text you proactively with relevant updates. Safe, secure texting via iMessage or RCS. You’re the only one who can text your dot, and your dot can only text you. Rolling out now as a preview for Pro users in the US.

Yes Instinct started with this feature but there’s also a very different vibe across assistants so even when the mediums start to mix I think what you do with dots will still be fundamentally different.

Just announced the CapCut plugin in ChatGPT onstage at the inaugural CapCut World conference in LA -- video editing done easily so you can spend more time on the creative decisions and moments that make your work unique.
We’re excited to announce our new CapCut plugin is coming soon to @ChatGPT at CapCutWorldLA. The plugin brings CapCut's video editing and generation tools alongside ChatGPT. You can start with an idea in ChatGPT, bring it to life with the CapCut plugin right inside ChatGPT, then take your draft video to CapCut's web editor to refine, share and publish. By bringing the CapCut product you already love and use in ChatGPT, we're making content creation more seamless and efficient.

Love instagram.com/chloe.shih/ 's interview with @hollllyli from OpenAI's Dots launch -- great discussion on safety and alignment (especially with privacy) in there 🙏
eep, didn’t get to share my “going back to tech but as a creator” plan before @variety did!! 🫣

Matt mattpaige68.substack.com/ was part of early access and had this video entirely cut and edited by his Dot (using Descript). I've heard a few times now how Creators are able to just point Dots towards their raw footage and they'll proactively put together finished videos for review 📽️
