Good Morning! Here's what I have for you in today's newsletter:
Grok Bot can now read, write, and act across your Microsoft accounts
Muse Code exits beta with agent-to-agent messaging and orchestration
Google adds /boost to Antigravity for deeper reasoning on complex tasks
Build your own ChatGPT agent right inside your daily content notes
4 new AI tools worth trying today
AI MODELS
xAI gave Grok Bot new plugins that read, write, and act directly across Microsoft accounts, with direct access to Outlook, Calendar, and OneDrive.
Grok Bot can now interact with Outlook, Calendar, and OneDrive directly, rather than being limited to accounts and services outside the Microsoft ecosystem.
Read and write access means the bot can both pull information from these apps and take actions inside them, not just observe existing data.
This extends Grok Bot's existing plugin system into one of the most widely used productivity suites in professional settings.
A huge share of daily work still happens inside Outlook, Calendar, and OneDrive, and an agent that can only see other tools misses most of that. Direct read and write access here means Grok Bot can complete tasks that actually depend on email, scheduling, or file access, not just talk about them.
AI AGENTS
Meta released Muse Code out of beta with new features including sessions that message each other, workflows to orchestrate subagent teams, and an SDK now in developer preview, alongside new monthly plans starting at $5.
Sessions that message each other let separate Muse Code instances coordinate directly, rather than each one operating in total isolation.
Workflows built around subagent teams give a single task the ability to delegate pieces to multiple specialized agents working in parallel.
The new SDK in developer preview opens the door for developers to build custom integrations on top of Muse Code rather than using it only as a standalone tool.
Multi-agent coordination has mostly stayed in research demos or custom-built systems, so shipping session-to-session messaging as a real, out-of-beta feature is a meaningful step toward that becoming standard tooling. Starting monthly plans at $5 also puts this within reach of individual developers, not just teams with an enterprise budget.
AI TOOLS
Google introduced /boost in Antigravity, a command that pushes the harness to reason more deeply on particularly complex tasks in exchange for spending more tokens.
The Antigravity harness already handles a wide range of tasks by default, with /boost specifically reserved for cases that need deeper reasoning than the standard setup provides.
Using /boost trades additional token spend for more thorough reasoning, making it an opt-in tool for harder problems rather than a blanket setting.
This gives developers direct control over the reasoning-versus-cost tradeoff on a per-task basis, rather than a single fixed reasoning level applied everywhere.
Not every task needs maximum reasoning effort, and forcing deep reasoning by default on simple requests wastes tokens for no real benefit. A dedicated command that's only invoked when a task actually warrants it keeps costs predictable while still giving developers a lever to pull when a problem genuinely needs it.
HOW TO AI
Ask ChatGPT a question and it answers from general knowledge only, nothing about your notes or how you write. A free Obsidian plugin called ChatGPT MD fixes that, giving ChatGPT real access to your notes before it answers.
Step 1: Install ChatGPT MD
Settings, then Community Plugins, then Browse. Search "ChatGPT MD," install, enable. Add an API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, or OpenRouter, or use Ollama to skip cost entirely.
Step 2: Reference a specific note directly
Link a note by name using a wiki-link:
Summarize the key points from [[an actual note title here]] and tell me what's missing from it
Step 3: Reference several notes at once
Link more than one in the same prompt:
Read through [[Meeting Notes - Sept 2]] and [[Meeting Notes - Sept 9]], then tell me what's changed between the twoStep 4: Build a writing-voice agent from your own notes
Read through [[Sample 1]], [[Sample 2]], [[Sample 3]], and [[Sample 4]], then build me an agent that writes in that same styleThen put it to work:
Using the writing-voice agent, draft a short piece about a topic I'm currently thinking about
Step 5: Let it browse the web when your notes aren't enough
Check the actual current status of a topic I'm tracking, and tell me if anything in my notes about it is now out of dateP.S. You can access all the AI trainings (including the full version of this one), prompts and workflows if you upgrade.
Firecrawl launched availability in Grok Bot, turning the web into high-quality context for agents, powered by industry-leading search and scraping designed specifically for agent use.
MiniMax released H3 Max on MiniMax Design, generating video faster than before with 480p starting at just $0.02 per second, plus 3 free generations available through September 3.
Google Research introduced TimesFM-3, a state-of-the-art time series foundation model that delivers accurate multivariate forecasting in a single forward pass, outperforming other forecasting models across major benchmarks.
🌍 HYPER3D: WorldGen turns one image into a world you can train, shoot, and explore in, built for robotics, film, games, and XR.
🎨 Magnific: its plugin is now on ComfyUI, generate and upscale images and video as native nodes, staying local except for the steps that actually need the cloud.
📈 Okara: 2.0 is now live, smarter, faster, and more personalized than before.
📅 Notion AI: smart scheduling now recommends times that work for everyone when you add people to a new event.
THAT’S IT FOR TODAY
Thanks for making it to the end! I put my heart into every email I send, I hope you are enjoying it. Let me know your thoughts so I can make the next one even better!
See you tomorrow :)
