ChatGPT makes slide decks, Gemini apps publish to Google Sites, Claude Code Review
ChatGPT can now build and share presentations, and an app you make in Gemini can become a Google Site in one click. Claude's automatic Code Review left preview, and Google Workspace added meeting recaps in Chat and Gemini in Sheets on iPhone.
ChatGPT Slides: create a deck and edit it with your team
ChatGPT can now make presentations from a conversation, your files or an outline, and you can share an example deck to guide the style. You edit text, images, shapes and charts yourself or ask ChatGPT to change them, and teammates can edit the same deck at the same time and leave comments.
Why it matters: A client proposal or a workshop deck can go from notes to slides in one place. On the web you can export to PowerPoint, PDF or Google Slides, so it still fits the tools your clients use.
Rolling out to eligible Pro, Business and Enterprise users with Space access, on the web and in the desktop app. To start, ask ChatGPT in Work to create a presentation in Space.

ChatGPT Voice now runs on GPT-Live-1.1, with more natural accents across languages. New voices include options for French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Korean and Mexican Spanish. Choose one under Settings > Voice.
Why it matters: If you practice a sales pitch, rehearse an interview or talk through ideas out loud, the conversation sounds less robotic, including in languages other than English.
Rolling out in ChatGPT Voice. The voices you see may vary by region and account.

If you build an interactive app in the Gemini app (a calculator, a quiz, a booking checklist), one click now exports it to a new private Google Sites draft, still working. You can add content around it, publish it and share it like any other Google Site, without copying code.
Why it matters: A small tool for your customers, like a price estimator or a "which service is right for me" quiz, can go from idea to a shareable web page without a developer.
Available now on web, Android and iOS for Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual subscribers and personal Google accounts with access to the Gemini app. Google Sites must be turned on for you.

Code Review is a Claude Code feature that checks every pull request (a proposed change to a website's or app's code) for bugs before a person looks at it. Most reviews now take 6 to 10 minutes instead of about 20, and admins can choose Quick, Standard or Deep reviews for each project.
Why it matters: If someone builds or maintains your website or app on GitHub, this is an extra safety check that catches mistakes before they reach your customers. It's worth asking your developer whether it's on.
Available to Claude Team and Enterprise organizations. An admin installs the GitHub App and picks which repositories to review.

After a Google Meet call, the meeting's Chat space now gets an automatic recap: a summary, key decisions, action items with owners, and links to the Gemini notes, recording and transcript. It only appears when "Take notes for me" was on during the call.
Why it matters: Everyone on the team sees who owes what right where they already talk, instead of digging for the notes document later.
Business Standard and Plus, Enterprise Standard and Plus, and Frontline Plus. Rolling out gradually from Oct 16 (Rapid Release) and Oct 27 (Scheduled Release); may take up to 15 days to appear.

In the Google Sheets app on iOS, tap the Gemini icon to ask questions about your data, get insights and create charts. Suggested prompts like "Summarize this table" help you start.
Why it matters: You can check this month's sales or leads sheet from your phone and get a quick answer or chart without waiting to get back to your computer.
Business Starter, Standard and Plus; Enterprise Starter, Standard and Plus; Google AI Pro for Education; and personal accounts on Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra. Rolling out gradually from Oct 15; may take up to 15 days to appear.

Before you ask ChatGPT Slides (or any AI tool) to make a presentation, paste this into ChatGPT or Claude:
I need a presentation for [audience, e.g. a new client] about [topic]. Its goal is [what I want them to do after]. Ask me up to 5 questions first. Then give me a slide-by-slide outline: a title for each slide, 2-3 short points, and what visual would help. Keep it to 10 slides or fewer. Mark any fact, number or claim I need to check or supply with [check] instead of making it up.
