Watermarks, Voice Agents, and Follow-Ups: AI News (Episode 2)

In this episode we cover an AI assistant that comes with its own phone number and email address, an email agent that follows up from your sent folder, ChatGPT's new computer history for Mac, and Claude's plan to mark AI-generated content. We also each pick the story we think matters most this week. Answer Beats Voicemail: An AI voice assistant may not beat you picking up personally, but it beats missing the call; it fits businesses that miss many calls or want coverage on weekends and after hours. Chase the Sent Folder: Nudge for me watches sent mail rather than the inbox, so unanswered proposals and support emails get a follow-up. Two Emails to Get One Back: Some people only reply to a second message; automating that second nudge saves the manual work. Memory Cuts Re-Explaining: ChatGPT computer history keeps a timeline of screenshots plus memory files so you re-explain less; the privacy tradeoff is your call. Watermarks Start a Cat and Mouse Game: Removal tools appeared within a day of Claude's announcement, and we expect the back and forth to continue. Honesty Over Everything: If AI helped and someone asks, say so; accurate, useful content matters more than who typed it.
