🤖 OpenAI Just Let Teams Build and Share AI Agents Across Their Entire Organization

OpenAI launched Workspace Agents in ChatGPT this week, Codex-powered shared agents that handle multi-step team workflows autonomously across ChatGPT and Slack and they are free until May 6th.

The Decode:

What Are Workspace Agents - Workspace Agents are an evolution of GPTs built for teams rather than individuals. Powered by Codex in the cloud, they retain memory, call connected apps, run on a schedule, and keep working even when you are offline.

What They Can Actually Do - Teams can build agents for lead outreach, weekly reporting, product feedback routing, vendor risk management, and software review. At OpenAI, the sales team uses one for account research, and the accounting team runs the month-end close.

Built Once, Shared Across the Organization - Agents are built inside ChatGPT and shared across the team in both ChatGPT and Slack. Rippling built a Sales Opportunity agent without any engineering team, which replaced 5 to 6 hours of weekly manual work per rep.

You Stay in Control - Admins control which tools and data agents can access and when they need approval. Sensitive steps like sending emails require explicit sign-off and a Compliance API gives full visibility into every agent's configuration and run history.

Workspace Agents are available now in research preview for Business, Enterprise, Edu, and Teachers plans. Free until May 6th with credit-based pricing starting that date. GPTs remain available while teams test with a conversion tool coming soon.

Together with Insense

You don't need another agency. You need a better system.

More DTC brands are pulling creator marketing in-house because agency models are too slow, too rigid, and too expensive to test at the speed that paid social demands.

Insense is the self-serve platform built for that transition. 

Source from 80,000+ vetted creators, interactive brief templates and approvals in one place, automated contracts and payments, and lifetime usage rights included on every piece of content. 

Trusted by over 3500 brands like Quince, Paysend, SmileSet, and Monster Energy, 

No retainer. No middleman. Full visibility and control from day one. Brands save 40+ hours a month and get first creator applications within 48 hours.

P.S. If you need occasional assistance with influencer scouting, post-production, or platform management, they offer customizable and hybrid managed services.

Book a free strategy call by May 8 and get a $200 platform credit towards your first campaign.

💪 How to Keep Every AI-Generated Deck On-Brand With Templafy

Your team is prompting AI presentations. Your brand has no say in what comes out. Here’s how to fix that.

Step 1: Set your brand rules once

Upload your approved assets, fonts, colors, and content guardrails into Templafy. This becomes the foundation every AI-generated deck builds from.

Step 2: Connect it to PowerPoint

Templafy works directly inside PowerPoint, no new tool for your team to learn, no separate workflow to manage.

Step 3: Let your team prompt as normal

Team members describe what they need in plain language. Templafy generates the deck automatically using your brand rules in the background.

Step 4: Brand compliance runs automatically

Every slide that gets generated follows your approved templates, assets, and messaging, without anyone checking it manually.

Step 5: Ship client-ready presentations by default

No policing. No fixing rogue fonts. No off-brand decks making it to clients. Every output is on-message from the first prompt.

BDO saved $1.65M in a year. Adobe teams got back 72% of their time. 4M+ users at Adobe, KPMG, and Pandora are already running on it.

🖥️ Google Just Turned Chrome and Workspace Into an AI Powered Office

Google announced a wave of AI updates at Cloud Next this week, turning Chrome into an agentic work assistant and upgrading Workspace with tools that automate everything from spreadsheets to document writing.

The Decode:

Chrome Can Now Handle Your Browser Tasks - Google launched auto browse for Chrome enterprise users, letting Gemini read live context across open tabs and handle tasks like CRM updates, vendor comparisons, travel booking, and candidate research automatically.

Chrome Is Also Watching for Shadow IT - Chrome Enterprise Premium is expanding to detect unsanctioned AI tools, compromised extensions, and anomalous agent activity. IT teams get a Gemini Summary of release notes and AI powered suggestions on policies and settings.

Workspace Intelligence Connects Everything - Google launched Workspace Intelligence, a new AI system drawing on Gmail, Calendar, Chat, and Drive to automate assistance across the entire suite. Users control which data sources it can access and disable any at any time.

Sheets and Docs Get Seriously Smarter - Gemini can now build and populate Google Sheets from prompts, filling spreadsheets 9x faster than manual entry. In Docs, Gemini can generate, write, and refine content while matching a user's writing style.

Google already has office products embedded in workplaces worldwide, giving it a structural advantage. Gemini pulls from the internet alongside Drive, Chat, and Gmail for writing assistance. Microsoft, Apple, and a growing field of startups are competing for the same ground, but Google is playing on home turf.
