AI DUNN Right Weekly - Issue #13

Big Story - ChatGPT Just Became a Platform

OpenAI opened ChatGPT to third-party apps this week, and this is the App Store moment we've been waiting for.

Developers can now submit apps that run directly inside ChatGPT. Not custom GPTs. Not plugins. Actual applications living inside your AI assistant.

We're talking Canva, Adobe Express, Spotify, Airtable, Lovable, Replit, and Google Drive already in there. And these work on mobile too, which is wild because Apple historically never allows app stores inside apps (remember the Epic Games lawsuit?).

Here's what I think...

This is the exact same moment Apple created when they launched the App Store. ChatGPT just went from being a standalone tool to becoming a platform where entire businesses will be built.

For business owners, here's what matters: If you've got an AI tool or service, you now have potential access to 900 million weekly active users. That's distribution you literally cannot buy anywhere else.

OpenAI isn't charging developers yet, but monetization is coming. The companies that move fast here will own entire categories before most people realize what's happening. First movers win big.

What's New This Week

Google Makes Frontier AI Four Times Cheaper

Google dropped Gemini 3 Flash, and the pricing is kind of insane. Near-GPT 5.2 performance for 50 cents per million tokens. That's four times cheaper than Gemini 3 Pro and way cheaper than GPT-5.2.

This ain't about the free apps we all use. This is for when you want to hook AI into your software, website, or business process. The cost just dropped low enough that AI features can be everywhere, not just in premium products.

Why this matters for your business...

When AI gets this cheap, the barrier to using it basically disappears. You don't need a massive budget or a technical team anymore. You just need to identify one problem AI could solve and test it.

U.S. Government Goes All-In on AI for Clean Energy

The Department of Energy partnered with 24 organizations (Microsoft, Google, DeepMind, universities, startups) for GENESIS, a massive initiative focused on using AI to solve clean energy and grid problems.

They're using AI to tackle power grid optimization, climate modeling, materials discovery, and infrastructure resilience. This ain't research for research's sake. This is AI becoming national infrastructure.

What it means is AI is moving from "cool tech experiment" to "thing that runs critical systems people depend on." That's the grown-up phase of any technology.

Tool of the Week

Luma Ray3 Modify

Luma just released Ray3 Modify, and it changes how video production works.

You can now edit existing video footage using text prompts while keeping the human performance intact. Change lighting, swap backgrounds, try different costumes, and the actor's face, timing, eye line, and emotional delivery stay consistent.

Here's what's different...

Before:

Shoot footage.

Realize something needs fixing.

Reshoot the entire scene.

Expensive.

Time-consuming.

Now:

Shoot footage.

Edit it with AI prompts.

Change what you need without reshooting.

Fast. Affordable.

Bottom line is...

For small businesses and solo creators, this changes the economics of video production. You can make professional-looking content without hiring a full production crew or dealing with expensive reshoots.

Luma raised $900 million and is building serious AI infrastructure. This tool ain't going anywhere.

Quick Hits Worth Your Time

AI is translating 20 years of Chinese scientific research for $25,000. That's less than half of one translator's salary, and it'll unlock decades of knowledge Western scientists couldn't access before.

Bernie Sanders called for a moratorium on AI data centers in the U.S. Even the biggest AI critics say this won't work because if America stops, China continues, and we just lose the race.

A senior English barrister fed his legal work to AI. The system did in 30 seconds what took him a day and a half. He called it "spectacular" and told his niece who wants to be a lawyer: "Do not destroy your life. Do not get into lifetime debt for a job that won't exist in 10 years."

ChatGPT Image 1.5 generates images 4X faster and lets you edit specific parts without regenerating everything. 20% cheaper than the previous version.

Adobe added prompt-based video editing to Firefly, letting you modify specific elements of videos without regenerating the whole clip.

Prompt of the Week

The Business Automation Finder

Stop guessing which tasks to automate. Use this instead:

Act as a business process analyst. I want to identify one repetitive task in my business that AI could automate to save time and reduce errors.

Ask me about:
→ Tasks I do multiple times per week
→ Tasks that follow the same pattern each time
→ Tasks where small mistakes cause problems
→ Tasks I wish someone else would handle

Then suggest one specific AI tool or workflow I could implement this week, with step-by-step instructions for setting it up.

Why this works...

This prompt helps you find the low-hanging fruit. Not the big AI transformation, just one thing you can automate this week that'll give you hours back. Specific questions get specific results.

My Take

This week felt like a turning point.

AI went from being a bunch of separate tools to becoming a platform where entire ecosystems will be built. ChatGPT's app store, Google making AI cheap enough for everyone to use, and video editing that doesn't require reshoots aren't small improvements. They're infrastructure changes.

For business owners, here's what matters:

The barrier to using AI just dropped significantly. You don't need a huge budget or a technical team anymore. You need to identify where AI solves a problem you actually have.

My advice...

Start small. Automate one thing. Then another. The companies winning with AI right now ain't the ones with the fanciest strategy. They're the ones actually using it.

The competition between OpenAI, Google, and everyone else?

That's good news for us.

Better tools, lower prices, more options. We win when they fight for our attention.

Stay curious, and I'll see you next Monday.
