ChatGPT just got a massive upgrade: Shopping Research. This new feature is designed to do the heavy lifting for you when you need to buy something.

It digs deep across the internet, sifting through sources and data, so you don't have to spend hours comparing products.

Instead of just giving you a list of links, Shopping Research actively asks you clarifying questions. It learns exactly what you need.

Then, it uses your past conversations and memory (if you use that feature) to create a personalized buyer's guide in minutes.

ElevenLabs has introduced Templates, a new way to combine image, video, and audio models without setup or technical steps.

Each template is pre-built by the team, so you can create polished content fast and skip memorizing workflows or managing files.

Users can browse a curated library, pick a template, and customize it with their own inputs. The system shows price estimates, saves progress, and lets you remix past results.

Every template is prompt-engineered for the best model and output, making AI production faster and simpler.

Black Forest Labs has launched FLUX.2, a new image generation and editing model built for real production work.

It supports up to 10 reference images and creates 4MP outputs with consistent style, characters, and branding.

It follows complex prompts, renders readable text, and handles lighting, layouts, and logos with stability.

FLUX.2 is available through Krea AI, Freepik, Higgsfield and ImagineArt. The model is open-weight and designed for teams that need scalable, reliable, high-quality image workflows.

Google is rolling out interactive images inside the Gemini app for visual learning.

The feature turns complex academic topics into touch-based exploration instead of passive viewing. Students can zoom in, move through layers, and understand difficult ideas with clearer context.

The update is designed for subjects like science, math, and history where diagrams and concepts need more detail.

Perplexity has introduced a personalized shopping experience with curated product picks and Instant Buy powered by PayPal.

It remembers past searches and conversations to recommend items based on interests, reviews, and real use cases without repeated prompts.

Users can shop inside Perplexity, Deep Research, and Perplexity Labs to generate product breakdowns, comparisons, and tailored guides. Approved PayPal merchants support Instant Buy, making checkout fast and direct. More here.
