This weekly update shows how humans and AI are working better together than ever before. OpenAI launched GPT-5 on August 7th, which is much smarter at helping people write code and complete tasks. The new AI can think through problems step by step, making it easier for people to work with.

Companies are choosing teamwork over replacement. Instead of trying to make AI do everything alone, smart businesses are building systems where humans and AI help each other. This approach works better because humans are good at making decisions and understanding feelings, while AI is fast at processing information.

Merge Labs is creating amazing brain-computer connections. The company, started by Sam Altman, is working on ways to let people control AI with their thoughts. They want to raise $850 million to make this technology real. This could change how we interact with computers forever.

AI agents are getting smarter at specific jobs. New AI helpers are being built for restaurants, travel planning, and personal wellness. These purpose-built assistants understand exactly what people need in each situation. For example, restaurant AI can take orders and manage inventory, while travel AI can book flights and hotels.

The hybrid approach is winning in business. Companies that mix AI automation with human creativity are doing better than those that rely only on technology. Agentic Process Automation lets multiple AI agents work together while humans oversee important decisions. This creates faster, more accurate results while keeping the human touch that customers value.
