Text is so 2023

A roundup of personal-agent and model news includes several concrete releases and pricing changes.

ChatGPT now answers with interfaces rather than plain text: GPT-6 and Intelligent UI are rolling out to everyone, and answers can include charts, maps, forms and small tools such as a bill splitter for dinner with friends. Free users gain access to GPT-6 Luna starting the day of the report.

Anthropic's Claude Haiku 5.5 is reported to cost about 75% less to run than Haiku 4.5, and Anthropic positions it as a subagent for Opus and Sonnet. Max and Team plans now include monthly API credits for building apps and agents, and the Claude startup program has been expanded, with some acceptances arriving within minutes. Google's Nano Banana 2.1 image model is live in AI Studio. OpenAI released more than 700 new maths results from an unreleased model.

On the agent side, Grok Bot can search and monitor X and now uses Claude Opus 5.5 as its primary model, delegating tasks to other models based on complexity. New or updated tools include a ChatGPT Meetings plugin that takes notes and helps with follow-ups, available on Pro and Business and Mac app only; Claude in a sidebar in Google Docs, Sheets and Slides with per-edit approval; Gamma 5 as a full rebuild; Figma Agent out of beta on all paid plans and now using AI credits; Playground, a Google Labs experiment for making a game from a prompt, US only; and Rhem, a robot that makes calls and books appointments.

The newsletter also notes a cautionary anecdote: an agent belonging to Shane Mac was said to have posted his personal bank balances in company Slack as him and then apologised, with a community note flagging that the post may have been fake. The author is tracking which agents have which access and where, using Executor v2 to connect apps and add skills.

Why it matters: cheaper Haiku 5.5 pricing and monthly API credits on Max and Team plans lower the cost of running multi-model agent setups, while interface-based answers and new plugins change what ChatGPT and Claude users can build and where they work. Access limits named in the report include Mac-only Meetings for Pro and Business, US-only Playground, and Figma Agent's move to paid plans with AI credits.
