## PRODUCTIVITY
📊 ChatGPT releases “Slides” Collaboration

[![ChatGPT Slides editor turning a conversation into a presentation, with slide thumbnails, collaborator cursors and a comments panel](<https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/8920b5f7-642f-4f09-879d-cef93d3bd48a/chatgpt-slides-hero.png?t=1792567710>)](<https://marketingagainstthegrain.com/22-marketing-agents-sign-up?utm_medium=email-media-newsletter&utm_source=utm_source%3Dbeehiiv-marketing-against-the-grain&utm_campaign=ER5EQMN9GK&utm_content=incentivized-beehiiv&utm_term=Secondary22ChatGPTAgentsV1&_bhiiv=opp_ef35d024-f877-4a25-83e5-c10e678ed197_1f0fb9ce>)

[ChatGPT](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/chatgpt>) released real-time collaboration for “[ChatGPT Slides](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/blog/chatgpt-slides-real-time-collaboration>),” so you and your team can build, edit, and review a deck together without leaving ChatGPT.

Slides is ChatGPT’s built-in deck maker, and this update is all about the step after the first draft: getting feedback and making fixes.

Now you can share the deck, edit it together in real time, and leave comments right on it.

The best part: once the comments are in, you can ask ChatGPT, or your dot, to turn that feedback into updates for you.

**Note:** The new [ChatGPT Slides](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/blog/chatgpt-slides-real-time-collaboration>) features are available on the Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans. OpenAI hasn’t mentioned Free or Plus.

[![Example decks made with ChatGPT Slides: brand guidelines, quarterly business review, product pitch and annual impact report](<https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/b13fdeed-14ec-41a4-b5b4-3dd1ed421759/upload_c278f62ea38e6108.gif?t=1792567722>)](<https://offers.hubspot.com/using-chatgpt-at-work?utm_medium=email-media-newsletter&utm_source=ER5EQMN9GK&utm_campaign=creator&utm_content=beehiiv&utm_term=SecondaryChatGPTForWorkV4&_bhiiv=opp_ea177616-6aae-4c6a-9e23-b8535826b457_b942af4d>)

**With ChatGPT Slides, you can now:**

- **Co-edit in real time:** Share a deck and work on it with teammates or clients at the same time.

- **Leave comments:** Drop feedback right on the slides, the way you would in a shared doc.

- **Turn feedback into edits:** Ask ChatGPT or your dot to apply the comments for you.

- **Edit right on the slide:** Click to change text, update charts, and move or resize images and shapes.

- **Start from anything:** Ask ChatGPT to “create ChatGPT slides” from a conversation or a file you’ve shared.

- **Present or export:** Present inside ChatGPT, or export to PowerPoint or Google Slides.

That means a client pitch or content plan can go from first draft to final deck in one place.

[Notion](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/notion>) released rebuilt “[Notion Agents](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/blog/notion-agents-rebuilt-to-do-more-for-less>),” which now get their own computer and browser to research and finish work for you.

Notion rebuilt the system that runs its agents, adding smarter context management and a new “Review for me” mode with safety checks.

Agents can now work on a single task for up to 24 hours. Notion also says chats load up to 50% faster on mobile.

The other big change is Auto, Notion’s upgraded model router. It picks the right AI model for each task, balancing quality, speed, and cost, and changes course if it gets stuck.

**Note:** All [Notion](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/notion>) AI usage is moving to a new credit system. Bring Your Own Key is in private alpha for Enterprise, and the AI Command Center is coming soon.

**What’s new:**

- **Agents with a computer:** Notion Agents can open their own computer and browser to research and build things like a campaign plan.

- **Cheaper Auto:** Across 20+ common tasks, Notion says Auto delivered results similar to Opus 5.5 and Astra at about 90% lower average cost.

- **Credits go further:** That makes your AI credits last about 10× longer.

- **Bring your own AI:** Connect your ChatGPT Plus, Pro, or Go plan to your personal Notion Agent.

- **Notion as a shared brain:** The overhauled Notion MCP lets outside AI agents find context and remember what matters in your workspace.

- **AI Command Center (soon):** See usage by person and agent, set spending limits, and choose which models your team can use.

Memory sync for Notion MCP is live today, with skills via MCP coming soon.

[Google](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/google-playground>) released “[Playground](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/blog/google-labs-playground-make-games-from-a-prompt>),” an experimental gaming platform from Google Labs that lets you create your own games with zero coding experience.

You describe the game you want in a chat, and Playground builds a version you can test right away in your browser.

Want to change the physics, rewrite the rules, or swap the characters? You just ask, and keep going until it plays the way you pictured.

**Note:** [Playground](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/blog/google-labs-playground-make-games-from-a-prompt>) is available to users 18+ in the U.S. at [playground.google](<https://playground.google/?utm_source=creatorstoolbox.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=chatgpt-releases-slides-collaboration>).
