As your app grows, managing “who can do what” becomes complex. Hard-coded roles and scattered permissions slow you down and fail to meet enterprise demands for fine-grained access.
WorkOS RBAC is the fastest way to implement structured, scalable permissions. Define roles, group permissions, and update access for entire user groups in a single step.
With developer-friendly APIs, a powerful dashboard, and native integrations for SSO and Directory Sync, WorkOS gives you enterprise-grade access control out of the box. Integrate RBAC with WorkOS.
OpenAI’s Pulse Brings Proactive AI to Workflows
Sam Altman took to X yesterday to announce: “Today we are launching my favorite feature of ChatGPT so far, called Pulse.”
This update didn’t exactly come out of nowhere. Sam Altman had been hinting for months that ChatGPT would move beyond reactive answers into proactive daily help. Pulse is the first real glimpse of that shift.
How it fits into your daily flow
Morning briefings: Pulse delivers 5–10 visual cards each day, summarizing key insights, updates, and suggestions that you can expand on for more detail or follow up.
Runs overnight: It proactively researches while you sleep, pulling context from your chat history, feedback, memory, and (if enabled) connected apps like Calendar or Gmail.
Personalization signals: Pulse learns from thumbs-up/down on cards, curated interests, and chat history to refine what you see.
Context-aware actions: With connected apps, it can suggest meeting agendas, reminders, or even draft content for upcoming events.
Mobile Pro preview: Currently limited to ChatGPT Pro users on iOS/Android, with plans to expand after the preview phase.
Things to keep in mind
Cards refresh daily: Items disappear from the feed after a day unless you save or respond to them.
Memory required: You need ChatGPT memory turned on for Pulse to work effectively.
When memory is enabled, Pulse can draw from what ChatGPT already remembers about you (past chats, preferences, feedback) to make the daily cards far more personalized. Without memory, it still works, but the suggestions will be broader and less tailored.
Why It Matters: This could mean fewer hours spent scanning reports, faster prep for key meetings, and early signals on trends you might have missed.
OpenAI is signaling that AI assistants are moving into the flow of enterprise work, not just sitting on the sidelines.
In other news
Anthropic is growing worldwide and bringing Claude AI to more countries, making it a bigger player for enterprise use.
With GPUs in short supply, the market is considering auctions for compute, meaning companies may need to budget differently to get access.
