ChatGPT Voice now runs on OpenAI's new GPT-6 Astra, Sol, and Luna models and can tap into plugins like email, calendar, and Slack. Users can manage appointments, send emails, or build websites just by talking.

When companies talk about AI transformation, they often start with what they rolled out: the model, the license, the training program, or the pilot.

Most companies still measure AI by what they roll out: seats bought, licenses assigned, and pilots launched. Those numbers prove that the company has started. They don’t prove anything changed. The 2026 Zappy Award winners measure it differently. Every one of them moved a number that their business already reports on. At Galgo, the rate of invalid delivery evidence fell from about eight percent…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been powering the tools we use in our everyday lives for decades now. And every time powerful advancements in AI are released, conversations around the good, the bad, and the ugly of AI inevitably dominate the headlines. Amid all the noise, I've noticed people throwing around buzzwords like "AI" and "automation" (and, if they're feeling fancy, "agentic AI") and…

These days I'm Zapier's AI Innovation Lead for People. I spend most of my week building systems that do the copy-paste work my team and I used to do by hand, and showing…

I don't do new hobbies halfway. Baking, sewing, whatever it is—I'll disappear into inspiration boards, overbuy supplies, and find myself fully invested in a niche I joined only four hours ago. Unfortunately, that's when I hit a wall. Turns out enthusiasm and a can-do attitude only get you so far. Many businesses are approaching AI exactly like I approach a new hobby: all enthusiasm, shaky…

I've been using Claude long enough to remember when the main selling point was that it was a nicer chatbot to talk to than the alternatives. (That's still true, for what it's worth.) But Claude no longer just talks to you about your work; it also does your work for you. You can give Claude a project, head off to make a coffee, and check in occasionally when questions pop up. For enterprises…

Keeping track of all the new AI models getting released at the moment is practically a full-time job. The most recent GPT-6 models were first released about two months after the GPT-5.6 series, which itself was released less than three months after GPT 5.5—you get the picture. I've been writing about OpenAI's models for the past few years, and it feels like every time I publish an article…

With every new model release, Claude tops almost every benchmark. And chatting with Claude makes it clear why: it's good at everything. But while there's power in a back-and-forth conversation, you can accomplish a lot more when you use Zapier to connect Claude to the rest of your apps and let automation carry out entire workflows for you. Here's how it works. Table of contents: Add Claude's…
