Plus a bunch more!

It's the new fake EEAT thing. Pretend you have a quote from an expert and just make one up.

Option 2 is code, but I think the SF version is better.

A start...

Yeah! Exactly. I don't think you can say, here LLM, write the regex. But I do think it can act as a partner to help get through it faster.

I know you said no AI but I really think this could be done. Not with AI making the decisions but rather writing code to sort it for you.

If you're open I'd love to take a stab at it. Feel free to DM. But totally get it if you decline.

Agentic capabilities in AI Mode, ChatGPT's agentic browser, Google putting AI in Space. AI News You Can Use, Nov 5, 2025 Hello! 👋There is a lot of interesting stuff to talk about this week. OpenAI released an agentic browser. What does that mean? You can use ChatGPT from within the browser as you search the web. Wher...

Newsletter is out! So many interesting things happening!

This wording has been there for a while. It's not referring to ChatGPT showing medical advice, as some X accounts have been claiming but rather your responsibility when using Openai's APIs.

Dana DiTomaso confirms that ChatGPT's new browser Atlas appears as Chrome in GA4.

And, all visits appear as new visitors even if returning because Atlas doesn't use cookies.

What a mess.

Great idea!

How to tell if you were impacted by the August 2025 spam update (and what to do about it) - Marie Haynes Historically, most readers of my content have not had to worry about spam updates. However, I think many of you have indeed been impacted by the August 26, 2025 spam update. Recently In VP , Head of S...

Were you impacted by the August 2025 spam update? I don't usually spend too much time with spam updates, but I think this one impacted a lot of decent sites.

I wrote a blog post to help you determine if you were impacted and give you ideas on how to improve.

Yeah, it's a bit confusing. I agree.

Ty Wil! Are you using it for your team?

Found them super complicated. Nothing I did worked! I see the potential though.

A first look at Gemini Enterprise / Gemini for Business - Marie Haynes Last week Google launched Gemini Enterprise and although I see very few people talking about it, I think this tool will likely be used by most businesses. There are two features that make it extremely...

I really like Gemini for business. The "Agents" are essentially Gems - but you can use them across your organization and they can draw on your Google Drive, Calendar, Gmails and a few other connectors.

Did I cover any stories you missed? Honestly there is so much to stay on top of!

Hype or Not? Should you be investing in AI Agents? - Marie Haynes Google says every enterprise will soon rely on multi-agent systems - multiple AI agents working together.  That sounds exciting and futuristic, but what I’ve found when talking to my clients is that w...

New blog post: Should you be investing in AI Agents?

Here's what we know so far. Agents are poised to change the web as we know it!

My Notes are out for this week. I thoroughly enjoyed writing this episode.

Oh, and also, ChatGPT Agent logged in to Canva for me and made this week's thumbnail!

YouTube video by Google Search Live: Matcha

Search Live is going to change how we get information.

Notice in this video how websites are surfaced? Very cool, but also people are going to have their search satisfied without needing to click.

What questions do you have about the role of AI agents for your business?

I'm putting together some resources to help us plan and prepare.

Google says that every enterprise will rely on multiple agents. Yet the advice is all so vague!

Just sent out Marie's Notes to Search Bar Pro members. This week's episode gives you a bunch of ideas for things to make in AI Studio, a Google Colab you can use to see what ChatGPT is extracting from your pages and more...

Is it possible this comes from something in your custom instructions? I had a response that said something like this at the end of one of my chats and it clearly was repeating something in my custom instructions.

Can you replicate in GPT-5?

FastSearch, MAGIT and everything else we learned about Google’s AI from the DOJ trial - Marie Haynes If you missed it, earlier this week I published a piece on everything we learned about Google’s search algorithms from the DOJ vs Google trial. Boy, there is a lot! In this article, we’ll focus on AI....

New blog post - this is part 2 of what we learned from the latest DOJ vs Google trial documents. This time, about AI.

Super chill. A little makeup, and some direction on what not to wear.

However they did try to lead what we said. Wanted me to badmouth my husband (I did not) and roll my eyes and call my MIL a drama queen. (I did & they used it 4 times.)

It was our choice though. I mean the show is called "My house your money."

Honestly, it was one of the most fun experiences of our lives filming that. I would do it again!

They reached out to my husband because he was a realtor to ask if he had any clients that would be suitable to film. We happened to be buying a house.

Although as is the case with most reality TV, they stretched the truth as, although my in-laws moved in with me, we didn't use their money.

Filming this was so much fun!

It's not online unfortunately. Took 3 days to film. And yes, a lot is made up and overblown.

This is part 1. Part 2 on what we learned about Google's AI systems will be out in the next few days.
