What Small Business Owners Need to Know Right Now

Hey Reader,

Hello from Marrakech!

​

OpenAI had a big week. A new image model you can draw in, and a way for ChatGPT to learn your writing voice from your own emails. Then Meta launched a personal agent that will book, buy, and email on your behalf.

Let's get into it.

1. OpenAI Introduced ChatGPT Images 2.5

The new image model landed Tuesday. It is already live for you in ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work, and Codex, on every plan, on desktop, mobile, and web.

Sharper detail, more natural lighting, and images that generate up to 50% faster than the last model.

But the change you will feel first is editing.

You know how you get an image that is almost right, you ask it to change one thing, and it hands you a completely different picture? New face, new lighting, new everything. So you sit there re-rolling the same prompt hoping for a version that is close enough.

Images 2.5 is built to change only what you asked for and leave the rest alone, and to hold that across a long back and forth. OpenAI's own launch example is a photo of a dog turned into a dog in a stuntman suit, with the sidewalk, the shadows, and the chairs behind it untouched.

Then there is Sketch, which is the one people are having the most fun with. You type @Sketch, a canvas opens, and you draw. A room layout, the shape of a jacket, where you want the headline to sit on a flyer. Then you describe the style you want and ChatGPT builds the finished image from your drawing. You do not have to draw well. It is a rough guide, not artwork.

Three smaller additions:

  • Templates for common formats like posters, flyers, merch, and product photos, so you start from a structure instead of a blank prompt
  • Comments directly on an image, so you can point at the exact spot you want fixed
  • Prompt sharing, so someone else can run your prompt with their own photos

MY TAKE
​
I already built this once, the hard way.
​
One of our clients needed it, so I made them a Gem in Gemini. A Gem is a custom version of the assistant that you set up one time for one specific job. Theirs was simple. Sketch the idea, upload the photo of the sketch, get back a real version of what the drawing was trying to be. It worked well. It was also a workaround, held together by instructions I wrote and a process the client had to remember to follow.
​
Now it is a feature you get for free. Type @Sketch and go.

2. ChatGPT Work Can Now Learn Your Writing Voice From Your Own Emails

You have always been able to get ChatGPT to sound like you. You just had to create a pretty extensive markdown file to get it up to speed.

ChatGPT Work now has a Writing style setting. You connect the tools you already write in, and it builds a picture of your voice from writing you have already done. Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, and SharePoint are the four sources OpenAI named.

It looks for the small stuff. Phrases you reach for over and over. How you sign off. Your capitalization habits, including the ones you did not know you had. Then it carries that into whatever it drafts for you next, across ChatGPT Work on web and mobile.

One detail worth knowing: it does not learn from what you type into ChatGPT. Only from the connected apps. So it is reading how you write to a client, not how you write instructions to a chatbot.

To turn it on: Settings → Personalization → Writing style. Then pick which tools to connect.

This is on the web, for all paid plans with access to ChatGPT Work.

MY TAKE
​
Whatever you connect becomes your voice as far as this thing is concerned. That is the entire story.
​
Connect a Slack where you spend all day typing "sounds good" and "will do" and you have just taught it that you write like a person answering a text at a red light. Connect a Drive full of documents your assistant wrote and it learns her, not you.

3. Meta Launched a Personal AI Agent That Books, Buys, and Emails For You

Meta released Muse on Tuesday. It is a free app on iPhone and Android in the US, it works at muse.ai, and it runs inside WhatsApp.

Muse is an agent, which means it does things instead of just answering things. You connect your email, your calendar, your shopping accounts, and your payment info, and it goes and handles the task.

Here is what makes it different from asking ChatGPT for help.

Muse gets its own computer in Meta's cloud, with a browser you can watch it use. So it can keep working after you close the app. Meta's own examples are the slow, annoying jobs: negotiating a better price when you sell your car, calling a bill down, sorting out a scheduling mess. It works in the background and comes back to you when something changes or when it needs your approval.

It can also pay. Purchases go through a wallet called Link, built by Stripe.

Before it sends an email or spends money, it stops and asks you. There is an audit trail showing everything it has done and everything it plans to do next. Permissions can be narrow. You can give it read access without write access, and you can scope it to one service or one task or one window of time.

Pricing is free for most things, with plans at $20 and $100 a month for longer or heavier tasks.

Now the part worth slowing down on. By default, what you type into Muse can be used by Meta to improve its models. There is a setting to turn that off. Meta says it is building a version where the company cannot see inside your workspace at all, and expects to release it before the end of the year. It is not out yet.

​​CNBC covered the privacy and safety questions here​, and they are worth reading before you connect anything.

MY TAKE
​
The technology is not my hesitation. Meta is.
​
This is a company whose entire business was built on knowing everything about you and selling access to that. Now it is asking for my inbox, my calendar, and my credit card, and the private version is a promise about December.
​
I want what Muse does. Getting a bill lowered without spending forty minutes on hold is a real thing I would pay for. I just do not want Meta to be the one holding the keys while it does it.
​
Also, there’s the fact that overall, my experiences with Meta AI in general have not been great. Honestly it’s been garbage compared to the other platforms.
​
But if you try it, connect one thing. Read only. See how it behaves for two weeks before you give it anything that can spend.

Referral training with Fabi Paolini on September 15​

Join the Front Row AI Club to catch this training:

  • A behind-the-scenes walkthrough of the system I built with Claude and Notion that reads my call transcripts, maps who in my network should know each other, and drafts the introductions for me.
  • Why the highest-value connections in your network are the ones you can't hold in your head, and how to get AI to surface them for you every week.
  • The reason most AI output sounds generic no matter how good the prompt is, and what has to be true about your messaging before AI can amplify it instead of flattening it.

PROMPT OF THE WEEK

Build a Working Website by Describing It, Using ChatGPT Sites

There is a feature inside the ChatGPT desktop app called Sites, and most people have not found it yet.

You describe a website. It builds it. Then you tell it what to change, in plain English, until it is right. When you are happy with it, you click Publish and you get a link you can send to anyone.

No code. No drag and drop builder. No template you have to fight with.

What it does: turns a description into a real, working web page.

When to use it: for the small things you keep meaning to build and never do. A simple page for a new offer. A tracker your team can actually see. A resource page for your clients.
​What you get back: a live page with a shareable link.

One thing to notice: the first version will probably not be right, and that is fine. The whole point is that you keep telling it what to fix.

Here are the steps:

Codex Sites website-building interface
​
  1. Open the ChatGPT desktop app and switch to the Codex tab.
  2. Click Sites in the left panel, then Create new site.
  3. Paste the prompt below, or upload a file for it to work from.
  4. Keep editing by telling it what to change.
  5. Preview it privately, then click Publish.
Build me a simple one-page website.

What it is: [describe it in one sentence]

It needs these sections:
- [section]
- [section]
- [section]


Who it is for: [your audience]
How it should feel: [clean and calm, bold and bright, warm and personal]

Keep the design uncluttered. Use plenty of white space.
Show me a preview before we publish anything.

Then keep going with follow-ups like this one:

Make the headline bigger and move the sign-up section above the testimonials. The colors feel cold. Warm them up.

Come back to the same project any time you want to update it. Describe the change, preview it, publish again.
