Full transcript (original language)

00:00 Chacha GBT just released a bunch of brand new upgrades that completely change everything. They launched a bunch of brand new ways for you to use ChachiBT. Two brand new models that you probably haven’t heard of yet. And by the end of this video, you’re going to know what all these changes are and how you could use them to be more productive. Update number one that we need to talk about is Chachi now has a bunch of brand new settings. So, if we come over here on the left hand side, we click into personalization. I want to go through all of these new settings for you because you’re going to want to make sure that you have these turned on. First one that you need to be aware of is that if we come over into plugins, you scroll down to Gmail and if you use

00:33 the Gmail plugin now, when you click into it, we can see that it’s completely different. We can actually connect to multiple different accounts right here. And we could see all the different actions that it has now have batch related to it. And the reason that it has batch related to it is because this can now actually go through and do way more at one time. It can batch modify emails. It can batch label emails. It can batch create emails, draft emails. This is incredible because this allows you to connect multiple different Gmail accounts at one time. The second thing you’re going to want to make sure that

01:04 you’re doing is coming under personalization right here. Because if we scroll all the way down, what you are now going to see is reference my writing style. If you turn this on and you click into set up my writing style, this is going to allow you to actually connect your messaging, connect your documents, connect your email. And if we actually click into messaging right here, we could see we could use Slack or we could use Teams. If we come over into documents right here, you could use Google Drive, you could use SharePoint, you could use notion. And what this is actually going to do is this is now going to actually change and adapt your writing style. So in the past, your

01:37 writing style would have been built off of any information you gave Chad GBT, any prompts you gave Chad GBT, any memory you gave Chad. Basically, what this does, it take it a step further. It’s still going to use that stuff. It’s also going to use these and it’s actually going to be able to understand how you talk differently in Slack versus inside of a document versus inside of an email. And it’s actually going to begin to learn the intention behind that, which is pretty awesome. In addition to that, if we now come under voice right here, you want to make sure that the model that you’re choosing is going to

02:08 be live because chat GBT just released a brand new model update for this called GPT live one. It’s available in the API and on voice right here. And what this is actually going to completely change is how it responds to you. So it’s way better with interruption handling. It’s way better with reasoning and tool calling delegation. It’s better with tone pace and style. It’s better with silent context management and background noise with long session reliability and with telephone report right here. If we go through and you actually come to this

02:40 page, you could see everything that it can actually do here. This is a way better phone call agent. This is a way better gen agent. This is a way better live agent right here and we could see how big of an upgrade this actually is. If we look at these right here, this is way better in terms of intelligence. In fact, it’s two times smarter. If we come over here into knowledge, three times better. If we come over here, we can see that this isn’t that much better at that. But if we come over to this, the duplex benchmark interactivity again about double right here. If we come over here, we can see that the latency is way

03:12 less. So this is literally a 2 to 3x jump from the old voice model that chat GBD has which is exactly why I would check it out. I mean literally unlike every single benchmark here it is significantly better. In addition to that under advanced right here you want to make sure that you have all of these turned on. You want to make sure in specific that chat voice library search and connector search are all going to be turned on because chat also just released a brand new upgrade to your library. So now if you come over into

03:43 your library right here and we click on new, we could see that we could have images in here, notes, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, folders. You could start from a template, you could upload, and you can also now have your stuff from Google Drive, Box, and Dropbox live inside of here also, so that it doesn’t have to do a tool call every single time. In addition to that, you can actually break everything out into folders. You could see images, you could see videos, you could see documents, you can see spreadsheets, you could see all. And this is just a way better and a much more upgraded library

04:16 experience that you’re now going to have inside of Chat GBT. In addition to that, if you are a user of Chat GBD sites, they just released five brand new upgrades for this. And here they are. Upgrade number one is you can now build together. So you can invite teammates to edit, save, and publish on your shared site, which is great. You can now share things privately. So you can invite specific people to a private site without making it public. You could launch faster. So you could go from prompt to deployment in half the time. Now because of GBT6 Astra, you could explore your data. So you could ask

04:47 Shbtt to inspect your site’s database and it can actually interpret things which is pretty awesome. You do this with your users, your analytics, which is pretty great. And you can now add your own custom domain into all of this. Now in order to actually do this, you’re literally just going to come over here. And if we come over into edit, we come over into settings, we will now be able to see that we’re going to be able to do all of this from inside of here, which is pretty cool. If we come over into settings, this is where most of these settings are actually going to live that I was just talking about. We could see

05:20 sharing, we could see custom domain, we could see environment variables, we could add in API keys and other different things that our website would need. This is pretty incredible. And I want to know in the comments below whether or not you think that this is going to overtake other vibe coding tools. Now, before we get into the rest of those new updates, I did want to share with you something that chatd still can’t do, which is that you still from inside of ChatBT can’t save prompts that you use over and over again, and it doesn’t optimize your prompts for you. And one thing that you’re going to

05:52 notice if you’re using GPT6 Astra or Chad’s latest models is that the prompt that you give it drastically changes the output you get. And that is exactly why I use this my prompt buddy prompt optimizer right here. This allows you to insert all of your different prompts right here from a standard prompt, reasoning prompt, deep research, AI video, AI image. You could put in your current prompt, your ideal output. And as we can see from my history right here, this then goes through and actually changes your prompt so that you get a professional prompt right here that is much better. In addition to that, if we come over into shortcuts right here, this is where you can

06:24 actually save prompts that you reuse over and over again. So you can simply just copy paste it directly in here and you don’t have to do anything other than that and you don’t even have to leave chat in order to do that. It works with chat claude and Gemini so it works with all the LLM and this is a no-brainer tool that I use every day. That’s exactly why I’d strongly suggest you go to the pin comment below and get started with my prompt buddy today. I use this tool literally every single day. It’s compatible with Gemini Chat GBT and Claude and it’s going to make your life way easier. And the best part about it is if you go to the pin comment below, you can get started with a free trial

06:56 today to test it out for yourself. Now, the next update that we need to talk about is Chachib has now introduced and they’ve launched Chachibd images 2.5. So now, if you’re actually inside of Chachet, we come over into more, we come over into images, you’re already going to see the brand new experience right here, which is pretty awesome. We could create images. We could see all of our images. We could open our library right here. And now if we go to use this, it’s going to be using image 2.5. In addition to that, if we come over here, I want to show you what is actually different about this. So image fidelity is going

07:28 to be way better. We can see the input versus the output right here. It automatically fixes the coloring and the saturation. It has more precision-like editing. So you can ask it to edit things and it’s much more accurate. Now we can see GBT image 2 over here. GPT image 2.5 on the right. It is just much more accurate when it comes to that. It allows for multi-turn editing. consistency. Again, we can see the difference between the two of these right here, and it just has intelligence and style improvements. The other thing that this doesn’t mention, but is true, is that this is now going to be way

08:01 faster, which is incredible. In addition to that, if we actually come over here, they actually show you how to structure your prompts for better results. And it goes through how to structure it to create, how to structure it, to edit it, and all the different things that you might ask us to do. Now the next update that we need to talk about is now chaty voice can also be powered by GPT 5.6 soul and GPT6 Astra. So basically they’re updating how intelligence works from inside of voice. Like I was showing you earlier they have a different live model but they also have this. So if you choose to not use the live model and use

08:35 a different model you can have it use GBD 5.6 Soul or GBD6 Astra. I would strongly suggest that you go with GBT6 Astra if you’re going to be doing this. just make sure that it doesn’t eat up too many of your credits. In addition to that, Chat GBT launched a new way for you to actually use a data agent from inside of Chat GBD Works. So now you can turn your company’s data into answers, interactive dashboards, and actions just by asking. The way that you’re going to do this is you actually have to come over into your plugins. You need to make

09:05 sure that you have data right here. And then whenever you actually want to call it, you just do at data. And then here are some example prompts. Help me get started with my first data test. analyze product or business data. Recommend where to focus next. Turn my metric links and work preferences into reusable data context. We could see all the different things that it actually works with right here, which is pretty incredible. Works with messaging tools, knowledge files, emails, calendar, data warehouse, developer tools, experimentation, business intelligence, product analytics, market intelligence, databases, and it has all these skills automatically created right here. And

09:40 this right here is a massive upgrade. The chatd actually went through and created this. And they show you a bunch of different things that you could actually do with this, like turn questions into analysis and action. And this literally goes through how this actually creates charts and all of this, which is pretty cool. Business performance analysis, operational performance, product growth. This literally goes through everything. and it’s now made chatbtd awesome at being able to build, develop, analyze, and use data from all your different sources. In addition to that, they also introduced

10:13 chatbt for financial services right here. Again, this is going to be done from inside of chatuby work. It’s going to take advantage of GPT6 Astra and this has been shaped by a partnership with Morgan Stanley and Evercore. And this makes strate way better at value analysis, way better at LBO modeling, way better at buyer screening, earnings analysis, and pitchbook preparation. We could see that it’s going to give your chatd access to way more things like R&D data, connected financial data, built-in financial data with all these different

10:47 things like company filings, financials and KPIs, earning calls and events, investor presentations, market prices and trading, which basically gives you access to premium financial data that’s going to be ready to use and normalized for GBT. And of course, if you connect this, your firm’s business data is not going to be used to train their models by default right here. and they have a lot of different security features on this. Now, if you enjoyed this video and want to learn about a bunch of other use cases that you could use ChadBT 6 Astro for, which are absolutely insane, I would strongly suggest you check out

11:20 this video right here that walks you through them. I’ll see you over there.
