Welcome back, Insider. Yesterday, Claude went live in Excel. Now, it's embedding Slack, Figma, Asana, Canva, and more popular tools right into its chat — so you can have Claude draft messages, build timelines, and create designs without ever switching tabs.
Today: Learn about Claude’s integrations, how to use AI to find the perfect people for your business, and get the latest prompts and trending social posts.
The Essentials
1. Anthropic embeds Slack, Figma, and more inside Claude, turning the chatbot into a full workspace: Claude users can now access productivity apps directly inside the chat interface, including Slack, Figma, Asana, Canva, Box, and others. Instead of switching tabs, you can draft Slack messages, build Asana project timelines, and create Figma design mockups — all mid-conversation. This update should be especially effective when paired with Claude Cowork, which lets users assign multi-step tasks to Claude. Available now for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscribers.

2. OpenAI is seeking premium prices for ads in ChatGPT: OpenAI is reportedly asking advertisers for roughly $60 CPM (cost per thousand impressions) for ChatGPT ads — 3x higher than Meta's sub-$20 rates and on par with live NFL broadcasts. However, unlike other major ad platforms, OpenAI is offering limited conversion data to justify the premium. Ads will begin testing soon in the U.S. for free and Go tier users (800M+ weekly active users), while Plus, Pro, and Enterprise subscribers will stay ad-free. Learn more about ChatGPT’s ad policy.
3. Microsoft unveils Maia 200, a custom AI chip it claims beats rival offerings: Microsoft announced Maia 200, its second-generation AI accelerator chip. The tech giant claims it delivers 30% better performance per dollar than current hardware, outperforming both Amazon's Trainium 3 and Google's TPU v7. The chip is already powering Copilot and Microsoft’s superintelligence team, with deployments rolling out to Microsoft's Iowa and Arizona data centers. Microsoft says it's already designing the Maia 300.

The Headline
This company started the AI race — but it might not be the one that wins it.
OpenAI's shrinking moat. ChatGPT is still widely considered the face of generative AI, boasting 800M+ weekly users and the #1 ranking in Apple’s App Store. But its underlying business is bleeding cash ($14 billion in 2026 alone). OpenAI’s recent decision to launch ads in ChatGPT signals just how urgent the need to monetize has become — especially in the face of its growing competition.
Anthropic is winning enterprise. While OpenAI chases consumers, Anthropic has been dominating the business market. The company is targeting $20 to $26 billion in annual recurring revenue (ARR) for 2026, with 80% coming from enterprise customers. Anthropic also scored a major win with Claude Code, which hit $1 billion in run-rate revenue just six months after launch. Anthropic expects to be cash flow positive by 2027, and will likely beat OpenAI to this key milestone.
Google’s playing the long game. Not only is the search giant leading in image and video generation, but its 650M monthly Gemini users won’t be seeing ads anytime soon. The reason? Its ads business earns $300 billion a year, so it can subsidize AI tools almost indefinitely — a luxury OpenAI doesn’t have.
But it’s still anyone's race. AI moves quickly, and all it takes is one breakthrough model or tool to upend the entire industry — a phenomenon we’ve seen many times. If history is any guide, the long-term winner might even be a startup that’s still flying under the radar.

Showcase [ENTER COUNTRY NAME] as the hero visual in the center: a slightly angled 3D map cutout / glossy paper-cut map silhouette with subtle shadow, with a small flag pin marker on the capital city. Add a soft natural studio lighting feel, gentle gradient + minimal texture background for an upscale magazine look.
Around the hero map, arrange information like a recipe infographic—dynamic, floating panels and clusters, not restricted to top-down. Clear hierarchy: hero map > key stats badges > cities/provinces > culture/foods > tips.
SECTION 1 — Quick Facts (clean glassmorphism badges near the hero):
- Capital: [CAPITAL] - Population: [POPULATION] - Currency: [CURRENCY] - Language(s): [LANGUAGES] - Time zone: [TIMEZONE] - Best time to visit: [BEST SEASON]
Display as modern rounded pills/bubbles with accent color highlights.
SECTION 2 — Provinces/States/Regions (ingredients-style clusters):
List [NUMBER] provinces/regions with mini icons/mini map segments or simple pictograms.
Example: [PROVINCE 1], [PROVINCE 2], [PROVINCE 3]...
Each item includes a small icon (mountains, river, desert, forest, coastline) and one short label (e.g., “coastal”, “historic”, “wine region”). Arrange in curved flows connected with thin lines to the map.
SECTION 3 — Major Cities (connected pin points):
Show 5–8 key cities with small pin markers on/near the map and clean labels:
[City 1], [City 2], [City 3]...
Use lines/arrows from labels to map pins, avoiding clutter.
SECTION 4 — Signature Foods (recipe vibe):
Show 4–6 famous foods of [COUNTRY] with small tasty mini illustrations or photo-style cutouts:
[Food 1], [Food 2], [Food 3]...
Add short descriptors (spicy, street food, dessert, grilled). Keep vibrant natural food colors.
SECTION 5 — Culture & Highlights (editorial callouts):
Include icons and 1-line notes for:
- Famous festival: [FESTIVAL]
- Traditional music/dance: [CULTURE]
- Landmark(s): [LANDMARKS]
- Nature highlight: [NATURE]
Use clean vector icons and minimal text.
SECTION 6 — Travel Tips (step-like numbered panels):
Show 4–6 numbered “tips” panels arranged around the hero map with arrows showing flow:
1) [Tip 1] 2) [Tip 2] 3) [Tip 3]
Add small icons (plane, train, hotel, safety, budget, camera, SIM card). Use glassmorphism panels with soft gradients and subtle drop shadows.
Typography & Style:
Modern sans-serif typography, high readability, strong grid alignment, airy negative space, subtle shadows, crisp vector icons, accent color palette inspired by [COUNTRY] flag (tasteful, not overwhelming). Editorial, premium, ultra-clean, social-feed optimized.
Output requirements:
Ultra-crisp, no watermark, no logo, no extra text beyond the provided labels, balanced spacing, high contrast readability, 1080×1080.Whenever you’re ready to take the next step
