ChatGPT shoulders the EU's heaviest platform rules

ChatGPT shoulders the EU's heaviest platform rules

ChatGPTChatGPT
Compared to before

Until now ChatGPT sat outside the EU's toughest platform rulebook.

What changed

The EU formally classified ChatGPT as a Very Large Online Search Engine under the DSA, adding risk-assessment and audit duties

Why it matters

Expect more compliance paperwork for enterprise use; day-to-day chatting won't change much.

B · Theme of the day

Runway stretches past video into UI generation

Runway unveiled a new system that builds software interfaces, not just video.

Runway stretches past video into UI generation

RunwayRunway
Compared to before

Runway has been known strictly as a video-generation company until now.

What changed

Runway unveiled Solaris, a new system that generates interactive software interfaces in real time

Why it matters

Worth watching if you build software UI too; pure video users can skip this one.

Today's Tips

2

Practical ways to use these tools, picked up from social media and community threads.

T1 · Theme of the day

Plug your other tools straight into Claude

Voice and workspace AI both shipped ways to connect directly with Claude.

Run ElevenLabs straight from inside Claude

ElevenLabsElevenLabs
How to do it

ElevenLabs shipped an official MCP server, review, create, and configure agents, and estimate LLM cost, all from Claude

Why it helps

Skip the dashboard entirely and manage voice agents from the same chat you're already in.

Carry Notion's Agent Skills into other AI tools

Notion AINotion AI
How to do it

Keep Agent Skills in Notion as the source of truth, then download them as SKILL.md into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, or Grok

Why it helps

One skill, reused everywhere; skip this if you don't already live in Notion.

T2 · Theme of the day

A little extra effort sharpens AI output

Ideogram, Runway, and Grok each shared a small trick worth trying.

Drag an image into Ideogram to borrow its layout

IdeogramIdeogram
How to do it

Drop an image in and click Describe, it writes a prompt that reproduces that composition, ready to Re-generate

Why it helps

No need to describe a composition in words; great for churning out variations on a layout you like.

Runway Workflows now handles audio too

RunwayRunway
How to do it

Audio Nodes landed in Runway Workflows, drop in Text to Speech, SFX, dubbing, or voice isolation as nodes

Why it helps

Keeps sound work inside the same pipeline instead of exporting to a separate tool.

One phrase makes Grok Imagine hit the mark

GrokGrok
How to do it

End the prompt with "showcasing [what you want]" to spell out the result and cut down on guesswork

Why it helps

A one-line fix for renders that miss the point you actually cared about.
