Five AI updates from the week of June 26, 2026 that land directly in the tools knowledge workers already use: Claude Tag in Slack, Copilot model switcher, Codex for non-developers, ChatGPT inside Excel and Sheets, and Gemini 3.5 Flash as the new Workspace default.

If you’re using Microsoft 365 Copilot as a fancy email summarizer, you’re leaving a lot on the table. Here are the features shipped in the last year that almost nobody has turned on.

Most people use Claude like ChatGPT — ask a question, get an answer, close the tab. These seven features turn that $20/month into an actual working system.

I ran Copilot and Gemini through four head-to-head tests — reasoning, long documents, document creation, and visuals — then broke down the enterprise features and pricing.

Gemini Canvas can supercharge document creation — turning one document into slides, infographics, web pages, and quizzes. And the best part is it’s free.

Anthropic just dropped Claude Design — a tool for building websites, graphics, and design projects right inside the Claude app. Here’s a first look, and I’m impressed.
