This week, OpenAI launched its new program ChatGPT for Small Business, designed to help entrepreneurs and small businesses adopt AI more effectively by offering educational resources, live training events, and practical guidance. The announcement follows ChatGPT Work, an agent that helps complete projects and multi-step tasks. Separately, Microsoft Excel is being positioned as an AI-powered business reasoning platform, according to a recent X post by Excel Vice President Brian Jones, who stated the vision is for Excel to answer user questions in plain language instead of requiring formulas or pivot tables, with Copilot taking a leading role in analyzing data and testing scenarios.
