Has that pesky post-send regret ever haunted you after dispatching a crucial email only to discover an embarrassing typo? Say goodbye to those mortifying moments with Grammarly.

OpenAI has rolled out its new and improved ChatGPT Enterprise, a solution designed to meet businesses' security, speed, and privacy needs everywhere.

Key Points:

  • Rapid Adoption: Within 9 months of launch, ChatGPT is already in use at over 80% of Fortune 500 companies.

  • Top-Tier Security: Responding to prior data concerns, ChatGPT Enterprise emphasizes data protection. Customer chats won't be used for OpenAI model training and boasts AES 256 encryption and SOC 2 compliance.

  • Enhanced Features: From shared chat templates for cohesive enterprise workflows to GPT-4 32k access for more extensive context windows, businesses can expect a smoother and more integrated experience.

  • For All Business Sizes: OpenAI is not just focusing on the big players. A self-service ChatGPT Business model for smaller teams is in the pipeline.

  • Admin-Friendly Tools: Deploy on a large scale with ease using an admin console, SSO, domain verification, and a comprehensive analytics dashboard.

Note: OpenAI's announcement comes on the heels of Microsoft's "Private ChatGPT" stir, the details of which are still under wraps.

A16z Joins in Backing Ideogram AI's Creative Endeavors: The text-to-image AI generator is the latest entrant to a competitive AI sector.

Key Points:

  • Investment Insight: Andreessen Horowitz (A16z) and Index Ventures co-lead a robust $16.5m seed financing round for Ideogram AI. Other participants include AIX Ventures, Golden Ventures, Two Small Fish Ventures, and several industry specialists.

  • Ideogram's Vision: Aiming to revolutionize creative expression, Ideogram focuses on making it more accessible, fun, and efficient with its state-of-the-art AI tools.

  • Unique Selling Proposition: Ideogram touts an AI model for generating images from simple text descriptions, positioning themselves with a commitment to creativity, trust, and safety.

  • Expert Team: Their lineup boasts of world-renowned AI experts who've previously been involved in projects like Google's Imagen.

  • Stiff Competition: VentureBeat notes Ideogram's reliable text generation could set it apart, especially for logo design and similar applications.

  • Text-to-Image AI Evolution: Before the AI chatbot boom, text-to-image generators, like OpenAI's DALL-E, were the talk of the town.

Samsung takes a step into the culinary world with the launch of "Food," a smart recipe app powered by advanced AI. Based on Whisk's vast food database, which Samsung acquired previously, this app seems to be a scrumptious addition, especially for homes equipped with Samsung's smart kitchen appliances.

  • Mammoth Recipe Database: 160,000+ recipes at launch, with more on the way.

  • Device Compatibility: Use on mobile phones or Samsung Family Hub smart appliances.

  • Smart Shopping: Automatically create shopping lists from saved recipes and send them to retailer's checkout.

  • Tailored Recommendations: AI provides recipe suggestions based on ingredients you have, and allows personalization – even turning regular recipes into vegan or vegetarian versions.
