AI Tools
OpenAI Is Merging ChatGPT’s Chat and Work Tabs
OpenAI announced on November 2 that it’s combining ChatGPT’s separate Chat and Work tabs into a single interface, letting users move from brainstorming to file-based work without switching views. As part of the change, ChatGPT and Codex will now draw usage from the same shared allowance pool — OpenAI says most people won’t notice, though heavy users may see more frequent rate limits. The merged interface is rolling out first to a select group of users for feedback, per TechCrunch.
Apple Watch’s AI Conversation Rewind Feature Enters Beta
Apple started beta testing new “Audio Intelligence” features for Apple Watch on November 2 through the iOS 27.3 developer beta. Live Rewind lets a double-press of the digital crown pull up a text version of the last 15 seconds of conversation, while Siri Recaps generates summarized notes with key points; both require a Watch Series 12 or Ultra 4 paired with an Apple Intelligence-capable iPhone. Unsaved Live Rewind snippets delete after 30 seconds, and Siri Recaps are removed within 7 days, according to TechCrunch. If you rely on AI tools to organize notes, our roundup of the best AI note-taking apps for families covers similar recap features.
Science & Space
Scientists Are Tagging Monarch Butterflies to Track Their Migration
Researchers with Project Monarch Science, a trinational collaboration using solar-powered radio tags, have tagged nearly 1,750 monarch butterflies this season to map their migration routes. About 175 of those tagged butterflies have already been detected in Mexico, and the public can follow individual butterflies through a free companion app. The project aims to pinpoint stopover sites that are disappearing due to habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change, according to Phys.org.
