🔮 OpenAI’s CPO on building at the cutting edge

Live with OpenAI CPO Kevin Weil

In today’s live show I spoke with

, CPO of OpenAI, just moments after he announced a range of new features including enterprise connectors and meeting recordings.

We discussed:

  • ChatGPT now ingests Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Dropbox, Box, SharePoint and OneDrive data, while new agents summarise docs, run multi-step research and commit code.

  • GPT-4o becomes the default; GPT-5 is on the runway to fold frontier abilities into one workhorse.

  • Eval-driven loops let product and research teams convert desired skills into benchmarks, then ship them straight to users.

  • AI-generated code could expand the pool from 30 million to a billion developers, unlocking personalised software everywhere.

  • Startup playbook: build where models are almost good enough and your product improves when the next model lands; avoid businesses that patch current weaknesses.

  • Sir Jony Ive is designing dedicated hardware because phones restrict power, microphones and ambient presence.

  • Opting out will soon feel like refusing a smartphone; keeping frontier models under liberal institutions is strategically vital.

Enjoy!
