ChatGPT now receives 2.5B prompts a day

🔍 AI Idea of the Week

“ChatGPT is now getting 2.5 billion prompts a day.”

OpenAI just confirmed that ChatGPT now handles 2.5 billion daily prompts… 

… more than double what it was processing just seven months ago.

Here’s what that looks like:
🧠 330 million prompts daily from U.S. users alone
📈 135% growth since late 2023
🏁 Google still leads with 5 trillion searches a year, but the gap is closing

More than ever, ChatGPT is becoming the first stop for learning, writing, planning, and problem-solving.

Search used to mean going to Google. Now, it means opening ChatGPT.

Typing a prompt. Getting straight to the answer.

And now, ChatGPT doesn’t just answer… it operates.

OpenAI recently launched its new Agent system, turning ChatGPT into a true digital assistant that can take action on your behalf.

This isn’t just about replying to prompts anymore. The Agent can now interact with your apps, navigate the web, handle files, and complete multi-step workflows.

It can book travel, schedule meetings, edit documents, pull research, and even fill out online forms… 🤯 

This marks a major shift: from conversational AI to action-based AI.

The tools are already here. Now it’s about how you use them.

🧠 OpenAI launches a general-purpose Agent

OpenAI has officially launched its new Agent system inside ChatGPT. Unlike previous tools that relied on plugins or one-off actions, this Agent can now plan and execute multi-step tasks across your apps and browser, like researching a topic, booking a flight, or filling out a form.

Why it matters: OpenAI’s move pushes ChatGPT beyond chat and into a full-on digital agent.

🎬 YouTube Shorts adds AI image-to-video tool

YouTube is rolling out a new tool that turns still images into dynamic video clips using AI. Creators can upload a single image and automatically generate animations, transitions, and effects tailored for Shorts.

Why it matters: Short-form content creation is now faster than ever and this gives creators without video skills a serious head start.

🎧 Adobe Firefly now generates sound effects

Adobe is expanding Firefly’s generative capabilities to include sound. Editors can now prompt the AI to create custom sound effects that sync with video scenes, from footsteps to ambient noise.

📹 HeyGen previews AI Agent for video creation

HeyGen is now rolling out a new AI Agent built into its video platform. Instead of piecing together scenes manually, you’ll be able to give the Agent a single command, like “Make a 90-second product demo for a skincare brand”, and it will generate the script, visuals, voiceover, and edits automatically. 

The feature is in early access and currently available via waitlist. 

Why it matters: HeyGen, known for its AI avatars, is now stepping into full video creation. 

In a few years, will video editing look less like editing... and more like giving instructions to an assistant?

🌟 Prompt of the Week: Outsmart the Objection

This week’s prompt turns AI into your toughest critic so you can practice handling objections and turn them into reasons to buy.

Use this prompt:

Pretend you’re a skeptical customer considering my product. 

I’ll give you a link or description [add link / description].

Identify the top reasons someone might hesitate to buy, especially around pricing, value, trust, or competition. 

Then, help me write sharp, confident responses that directly overcome those objections and position the product as the best choice.

Then try:

• Turn these responses into headlines and bullets for my landing page.

• What’s the most persuasive way to justify the price, without discounting?

• Which objections are emotional vs. logical? How do I speak to both?

• What customer stories or proof points would remove this hesitation?
