#9 ▶️ How this OpenAI engineer uses Codex + ChatGPT Work to automate everything How I AI Podcast Nick Baumann uses ChatGPT Work voice to delegate browser-based travel and expense tasks, ChatGPT Sites to build and privately share a searchable website, and a custom UGC Video plugin to turn raw clips into edited vertical videos. Using a hotkey-triggered voice orb that can read the current screen via an appshot, ChatGPT Work checked a Slack offsite message, checked calendar availability through plugins, created a travel task for SFO-to-Paris flights and a policy-compliant hotel in Navon, and created a separate task to find an Amazon microphone receipt and stage—without submitting—an expense report. ChatGPT Sites supports a SQL database, S3 file storage, and environment variables; the site built during the conversation used How I AI’s purple, black, and white branding, categorized video tips by AI tool and function, and could be shared publicly or restricted to individual email addresses through ChatGPT login. Nick Baumann’s UGC Video plugin processed roughly 20 clips in the live run by extracting transcripts, reviewing frames, selecting takes, and assembling an organic vertical video; for another workflow, he uploaded 50 or 60 clips for three videos, dictated the narratives, left it running overnight, and returned to completed outputs, including automated moving blurs over sensitive on-screen material.

“OpenAI is launching ChatGPT for Academic Researchers to give 100,000 scientists, mathematicians, and engineers free access to frontier models—starting with 10,000 this summer at institutions including the Institute for Advanced Study and École normale supérieure—with participants able to invite up to four collaborators, access ChatGPT/ChatGPT Work/Codex (including GPT‑5.6 Sol Pro at launch), and opt out of using their data to train models by default.”

GenAI PM Daily July 30, 2026 GenAI PM Daily 🎧 Listen to this brief 3 min listen Today's top 17 insights for PM Builders from Blogs and X. OpenAI launches GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra and Luna #1 📝 OpenAI News How GPT-5.6 fuses frontier intelligence with frontier efficiency - OpenAI's GPT‑5.6 family balances capability and cost: flagship GPT‑5.6 Sol outperforms Claude Fable 5 on the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index at less than half the cost, Terra matches GPT‑5.5 on intelligence benchmarks at half the price, and Luna is priced 80% lower than Sol. By using Sol to autonomously rewrite Triton/Gluon kernels, tune load‑balancing and KV‑cache configurations, and improve speculative decoding, OpenAI reports a 20% reduction in end-to-end serving costs and more than a 15% gain in token‑generation efficiency. #2 📝 OpenAI News Accelerating scientific discovery with ChatGPT for Academic Researchers - OpenAI is launching ChatGPT for Academic Researchers to give 100,000 scientists, mathematicians, and engineers free access to frontier models—starting with 10,000 this summer at institutions including the Institute for Advanced Study and École normale supérieure—with participants able to invite up to four collaborators, access ChatGPT/ChatGPT Work/Codex (including GPT‑5.6 Sol Pro at launch), and opt out of using their data to train models by default.
