🍭 OpenAI’s Browser vs Chrome 🥊

Good morning. Our janitor, Cobi, just built an AI browser to auto-fill his expense reports. Then maxed out our usage limits on Claude Code.

Productivity or rebellion?
TBD.

Let’s dig in.

🍭 What’s Cookin’:

• OpenAI joins the browser wars

• Anthropic surprises users (in the worst way possible)

• GPT’s Multi-Purpose Agent lands

• Steal This Prompt: Car Commercial Meets Cloudy Skies

• 5 Trending AI tools

• Everything Else to fake your IQ at brunch

Anthropic
👨‍💻 Claude Code Rug Pulls (kinda…)

The Bite: Anthropic unexpectedly tightened usage limits on Claude Code without warning, leaving heavy users furious and projects stranded.

Snacks: 

• “Usage limit reached” with random timers and zero warning

• No public announcement; just lots of angry threads

• Max plan = $200/month, but “unlimited” is an illusion

• API errors and outages spiking this week

• Transparency rating: 404 Not Found

Why it bites: Claude users didn't sign up for mystery box subscriptions.

This is like Netflix randomly pausing your binge mid-episode, with a passive-aggressive "Are you still watching?" pop-up.

But worse, because you're trying to build your MVP, not watch "Love Island."

Browser Wars
🌐 OpenAI Launches Browser. Google (and Perplexity) Sweats

The Bite: OpenAI is launching its own web browser complete with chat interface and integrated AI agents.

Oh, and it's built on Google’s own Chromium code.

Ironic?
Deliciously so.

Snacks: 

• Built on Chromium, just like Chrome and Edge

• Keeps users inside chat instead of websites

• Will run AI agents directly in-browser

• Targets Google’s ad empire and search dominance

• Comes after OpenAI hired 2 ex-Chrome VPs

Why it bites: Chrome is Google’s golden goose. And Comet was Perplexity’s viral moment.

Enter stage left: OpenAI to bust the wind out of Perplexity’s sails and steal whatever control Google still has over your browsing experience.

If OpenAI actually succeeds, Google’s ad revenue gets a panic attack and the browser wars turn into an AI trench run.

Or, worst-case: you get to pick which Silicon Valley overlord surveils your midnight WebMD spiral.

OpenAI
💪 ChatGPT Agent is Here, and It Wants Your Job

The Bite: OpenAI dropped its most capable agent yet; ChatGPT Agent.

It navigates calendars, generates presentations, and runs your code.

Oh, and it passed Humanity's Last Exam at double the previous scores.
Subtle flex.

Snacks: 

• Rolled out yesterday for Pro, Plus, and Team users

• Can now click, scroll, plan, code, and buy

• Uses connectors like Gmail, GitHub, and more

• Scores 41.6% on Humanity’s Last Exam (double o4-mini)

• Real-time prompt filters flag dangerous requests

Why it bites: AI agents are moving from "cute trick" territory into "serious productivity tools."

Forget asking, "Will AI take our jobs?"

Start asking, "How can we help it take the boring parts?"

Welcome to the real-world agent economy.
