Hub AI in practice

Artificial Intelligence is present in everyday life – from “googling” to facial recognition to vacuum cleaner robots. AI tools are becoming more and more elaborate and support people and companies more effectively in their tasks, such as generating graphics, texting or coding, or interpreting large amounts of data.

What AI tools are there, how do they work, how do they help in our everyday world – and how do they change our lives? These are the questions we address in our Content Hub Artificial Intelligence in Practice.

Microsoft is bringing OpenAI's GPT-5 to its entire Copilot lineup on Windows, Mac, and mobile devices. In Microsoft 365 Copilot, licensed users can use GPT-5 for more advanced tasks. The Microsoft Copilot web app and mobile apps for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS offer GPT-5 for free through "Smart Mode." Both versions use a model router that automatically switches between a "smart, high-throughput model" and a "deeper reasoning model" depending on the task.

Developers can now use GPT-5 in GitHub Copilot, Visual Studio Code, and via Azure AI Foundry, which offers a built-in model router for automatic model selection. GPT-5 is also available in Copilot Studio for building custom agents tailored to business workflows.

Ideogram has added its character feature to its API, letting developers create characters with a consistent look without extra training. Characters can be placed in specific parts of an image or applied to existing images using the remix tool, which adapts their style. Users can customize details like hair, clothing, and accessories, and save these settings for future use. Ideogram points to use cases like ad videos, online shops, YouTube thumbnails, comics, and games. More information on how to get started is available at developer.ideogram.ai.

OpenAI is offering ChatGPT Enterprise to U.S. government agencies for just one dollar per year. This special version comes with enhanced security and privacy features, but does not include access to the OpenAI API. The deal follows OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic joining a new GSA marketplace for AI software, which acts as a central purchasing platform for federal agencies. According to GSA Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum, the token price is intended as a trial with no long-term commitment. Data from government employees will not be used to train OpenAI's models. So far, about 90,000 federal employees are using ChatGPT.

Google is rolling out a new "Guided Learning" feature in the Gemini app, designed to help users break down complex topics step by step. Unlike standard AI answers, Guided Learning uses follow-up questions, interactive explanations, images, videos, and quizzes to deepen understanding. Similar learning tools are already available from OpenAI and Anthropic. The feature is powered by LearnLM, a model optimized specifically for education. According to Google, Guided Learning was developed with input from educators, learning scientists, and students. Teachers can also add Guided Learning links directly into Google Classroom.

Google search chief Liz Reid says AI-generated answers are not lowering website traffic. In a blog post, she writes that organic clicks have stayed "relatively stable" over the past year and that Google is now sending "slightly more quality clicks"—meaning users stay on a site instead of quickly returning. Reid argues that AI helps improve questions and results.

"The web has existed for over three decades, and we believe we’re entering its most exciting era yet."

Liz Reid

Her claims conflict with outside reports showing major traffic drops tied to AI answers in search results. Reid rejects those findings, saying they rely on flawed methods, older data, or single examples not tied to AI features. Google has not released detailed traffic or click-through numbers for its AI features.
