OpenAI wants ChatGPT to be a ‘super assistant' for every part of your life

OpenAI wants ChatGPT to be a ‘super assistant' for every part of your life

The Vergea day ago

Thanks to the legal discovery process, Google's antitrust trial with the Department of Justice has provided a fascinating glimpse into the future of ChatGPT.
An internal OpenAI strategy document titled 'ChatGPT: H1 2025 Strategy' describes the company's aspiration to build an 'AI super assistant that deeply understands you and is your interface to the internet.' Although the document is heavily redacted in parts, it reveals that OpenAI aims for ChatGPT to soon develop into much more than a chatbot.
'In the first half of next year, we'll start evolving ChatGPT into a super-assistant: one that knows you, understands what you care about, and helps with any task that a smart, trustworthy, emotionally intelligent person with a computer could do,' reads the document from late 2024. 'The timing is right. Models like 02 and 03 are finally smart enough to reliably perform agentic tasks, tools like computer use can boost ChatGPT's ability to take action, and interaction paradigms like multimodality and generative UI allow both ChatGPT and users to express themselves in the best way for the task.'
The document goes on to describe a 'super assistant' as 'an intelligent entity with T-shaped skills' for both widely applicable and niche tasks. 'The broad part is all about making life easier: answering a question, finding a home, contacting a lawyer, joining a gym, planning vacations, buying gifts, managing calendars, keeping track of todos, sending emails.' It mentions coding as an early example of a more niche task.

3 Top Tech Stocks to Buy in June

Nvidia's recent earnings results show that the AI train remains full speed ahead. The Trade Desk quickly put a Q4 hiccup behind it with stellar Q1 2025 performance. Meta Platforms continues to produce, with AI growth opportunities on the horizon. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › After a rocky couple of months in the stock market due to uncertainty regarding U.S. trade policy, it seems the storm clouds, for now, are beginning to part. Meanwhile, some of the leading technology companies continue to demonstrate stellar business performance. It's never a bad idea to invest slowly and steadily in quality stocks that go out and earn your capital. Here are some of the top technology stocks that you should consider nibbling on in June. Recent earnings from Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) show that artificial intelligence (AI) momentum is alive and well. The company's leadership in AI data center chips continues to drive staggering growth, including a 69% year-over-year increase in revenue in Q1 of Nvidia's fiscal year 2026, a 12% rise from the previous three months. Nvidia beat analyst estimates for both revenue and earnings, and its Q2 guidance was roughly on par with Wall Street's expectations, despite a forecast $8 billion revenue loss due to government restrictions on chip sales to China. Nvidia's growth continues to highlight the ongoing investments companies are making in hardware to build the infrastructure needed to fuel widespread AI adoption over the coming years, as well as in upcoming industries, such as robotics and autonomous vehicles. Analysts estimate that Nvidia will grow earnings by an average of 29% annually over the long term, which easily justifies buying perhaps the world's leading AI stock at its recent price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 48. It sounds dramatic to call AI a once-in-a-lifetime growth opportunity, but Nvidia, at least for now, continues to justify the hype with its business results. Independent adtech company The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD) took quite a tumble after an uncharacteristically poor quarter in Q4 of last year. The company's technology platform enables companies to purchase digital ad inventory, match it with their target audience, and track the performance of their ads. It's a leading alternative for advertisers beyond the powerful, but closed, ecosystems of Google (Alphabet) or Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META). However, the stock has begun to rebound. The Trade Desk's Q1 2025 results blew by analyst estimates, an encouraging sign that the business remains in tip-top shape in a digital advertising market that continues to grow. The Trade Desk has transitioned about two-thirds of its customers to its new Kokai platform, which utilizes AI algorithms to help advertisers optimize their programmatic ad spending and campaign performance. The Trade Desk has a long track record of profitable growth, and a trillion-dollar global advertising market offers plenty of runway for that to continue. The stock's enterprise value-to-sales ratio was a steep 29 at the end of last year. It has since dropped to 14, allowing investors to buy this adtech winner at a significant discount to its previous valuation. Social media is a massive advertising landscape, and Meta Platforms has dominated it for years. The company's family of apps -- Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads -- has a staggering 3.43 billion daily active users. It's a cash cow that generated more than $10 billion in free cash flow in Q1 2025 alone, which is remarkable considering the billions of dollars Meta Platforms is investing in AI projects. Meta Platforms continues to grow its user base and core advertising business. However, its AI projects could be game changers over the next decade. CEO Mark Zuckerberg is attempting to create a new consumer ecosystem beyond smartphones, featuring augmented reality headsets and smart glasses. Additionally, Meta developed and open-sourced its foundational AI model, Llama, which crossed 1 billion downloads in March. Analysts expect Meta Platforms to grow its earnings by an average of 18% annually over the long term, and there may be upside to that as its AI investments eventually bare fruit. The "Magnificent Seven" stock trades at a P/E of about 25, which is arguably a bargain for a company with its anticipated growth, and one of the most dominant core businesses you'll find.

Prediction: This Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock Could Be the Next Great Value Play

This value opportunity is a member of the "Magnificent Seven." Although its business model is uncertain, investors are likely underestimating the company's ability to redefine itself. 10 stocks we like better than Alphabet › As most investors know, some stocks in artificial intelligence (AI) have stood out for their outsized gains. The recent returns on stocks like Nvidia and Palantir are a testament to the transformative power of that technology. But those successes do not mean every AI stock sells at a premium. In fact, investors might be surprised to learn that many of these stocks do not command premium valuations, and that lack of buying has made the opportunity particularly compelling in one stock. Perhaps one of the more surprising AI value plays is Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG). Alphabet has applied AI in its applications since 2001, and before the rise of ChatGPT, investors typically considered Alphabet a top AI stock. Today, perceptions are much different. It now sells at a P/E ratio of about 19. That makes it the cheapest stock in the "Magnificent Seven," and many investors would now consider it a value stock. The uncertainty now surrounding Alphabet makes the low valuation understandable in some respects. OpenAI's ChatGPT seemed to take Alphabet by surprise. Although it responded by launching Google Gemini soon after, Alphabet appears to lag ChatGPT competitively. ChatGPT also presents a problem for Google Search. ChatGPT directed users to desired websites based on keywords, and Alphabet derived revenue from this process by selling advertising. Unfortunately for Alphabet, generative AI platforms like ChatGPT merely return information often compiled from multiple sites. While some users may still visit the sites from which AI platforms source material, many users never go to the sites, which reduces the ability to sell ads and presumably undermines long-established business models. Consequently, Google Search's market share is now below 90% for the first time in years, according to Oberlo. With 74% of Alphabet's revenue still coming from advertising in the first quarter of 2025, that trend could bode poorly for the company over time. Nonetheless, other attributes of the company should lead investors to question whether the company is oversold at the aforementioned 19 P/E ratio. The AI giant has worked for years to reduce its dependence on advertising. In the year-ago quarter, advertising accounted for 77% of overall revenue, and that percentage dropped over the last year even though ad revenue grew by 8% during that time. The most prominent non-advertising enterprise under its umbrella is Google Cloud, which now makes up almost 14% of the company's revenue. Moreover, Alphabet owns numerous businesses not discussed in its quarterly report, including Verily Life Sciences, Google DeepMind, and Fitbit. Still, one Alphabet-owned enterprise showing particular promise is the autonomous driving company Waymo. A recent funding round valued Waymo at $45 billion, indicating its potential to be a major revenue driver under Alphabet's umbrella. Alphabet has also invested heavily in itself. In 2025, it pledged to spend $75 billion in capital expenditures (capex). To finance that cost, it has $95 billion in liquidity. It also generated $75 billion in free cash flow over the previous 12 months, a figure that does not include capex. That ability to generate cash makes it possible to invest heavily in itself, likely improving its AI technology and making it competitive in other tech-related fields. Considering Alphabet's low P/E ratio and tremendous resources, investors should likely be adding shares at current levels. The rise of ChatGPT does put pressure on its ad business and may force Alphabet to diversify its revenue sources more quickly than it had planned. But Alphabet is investing tremendous amounts of money back into its business. That investment could improve its AI capabilities, and investors should not yet count it out in this industry. Its ability to fund itself should also make investors optimistic about Alphabet's future. If the company improves its AI and successfully develops new revenue sources like Waymo, investors may find themselves feeling glad they bought Alphabet while it was still a value stock.
